tbh it can be hit and miss with the police, i decided in my first 2 mins how im going to act with them.
often have i had a great laugh when them, was stopped last week when me and a friend had stopped for a smoke in a car park, when questioned i told him we wanted a cig but i wouldnt smoke in the car, so we stopped. he simply said 'fair enough can i join you' sparked up his own cig, checked my docs and carried on chatting to us for about 40mins.
pleasent nice guy who had my respect the who time.
had another one in my last car were the officer came out the car all guns blazing and treating me like a fool, i handed him my documents and informed him i would be exercising my right to silence and any questions he had for me would need to be asking in a interview with a solicitor present.
yes i was being a arse but he rubbed me up the wrong way so he got what i thought he deserved, as far as im concerned i treat everyone with respect untill they give me a reason not to and i hope people do the same in return. as my grandmother always said manners cost nothing
