ACAB indeed my friend..

ACAB

Answer 1

Being black the police stopped me a few times when i was younger. One even asked me if i saw anything would report it and i told them, no! The same rule still applies today.

Answer 2

Many times and apart from once I probably deserved it.

The exception was before a Football match at Burnley. I was supporting the away team and as always we got there early and went for a drink in the town centre. Usually we never have any problems as we like a good drink but are not Hooligans.

This particular day there was a massive brawl in the town centre involving at least 300 people. The Police raided the bar we were in and proceeded to push everyone out into the street where the fighting was going on.

We argued with these coppers that it would only inflame the situation if they sent another 200 or so people into the mass fight. We were subsequently kicked to shite, not off the Burnly supporters but off the coppers. After we had taken a serious beating me and two of my mates were arrested for violent conduct.

We got the last laugh though as it was all caught on camera by the police surveillance people and after seeing the footage the bloke in charge at the station let us go with an apology and asked us if we wanted to press charges against the officers who had laid into us.

We decided not to and wound up the coppers involved even more by giving the match a miss and going back to the bar they had beaten us up in.

Answer 3

Some coppers once stopped me for riding my bike at 2 in the morning, and made me sit in their car whilst they checked if I was a criminal or not.

All this would not have been so bad, apart from the fact that I was extremely drunk and stoned at the time.

They were actually quite nice. In the end they asked me to get out of the car as I was making it stink of weed-it was winter and the smell was emanating off the fur on my coat.

I said 'I think I will walk the rest of the way home', and they said, 'Yes, I think thats a good idea'.

Answer 4

Oh, I was going to say no and then, Bam!! memory jolt!

A few years back I was on a small island in Greece called Eritrea. There was only one very small community living there.On the hearsay(cough) and request from islanders, my girlfriend and I were having too much of a good time. The police nabbed us on the street and gave us 48 hours to leave town. The next ferry was in 72 hours. That complicated things just a wee bit. I refuse to comment further. You know too much already

Answer 5

I was stopped for speeding on a clear, dry, empty dual carriageway. I asked the policeman if I was driving dangerously and he said "No". What's the point then? If it wasn't dangerous why bother booking me? Just because I was over an archaic 1960s limit. Had I been driving dangerously I would have understood.This is just a way of getting money from the otherwise law-abiding citizens, and downright easier than tackling belligerent yobs.

Answer 6

Yes when I was on Holiday in St Pete's Florida and got arrested on the beach. To be honest, I was completely naked at the time, and that's against the law. But it was about 2.00am and very dark, apart from the moon that is. And it was New Year's Eve. I think they were going to be ok and let me go, until I said I could see they were both very pleased to see me. They didn't think that was so funny. But it all worked out in the end. The desk sarge told me get out and hide whilst nobody else was watching, so I ran.

Answer 7

Herts Police investigated an accident I was involved in. The other driver, who forced me off the road, was prosecuted for driving without due care.

Herts Police presented absolutely no evidence to the court, relying instead on my sole testimony. They had no evidence at all that the person being prosecuted was the person at the accident, so he got off.

Usless f******s

Answer 8

I got arrested for having the audacity to walk outside at 3am. I was quizzed for 4 hours, had my home searched and was asked to sign a caution for something I hadn't done. I refused, since signing would amount to an admission. I was released without charge.

Answer 9

Of course I have but its a hell of a job and I would hate to do it myself so you just need to learn the rules they live by. As long as you don't do anything too stupid or they think you're taking the piss its not so bad.

I'm a white man so maybe I've not seen them at their worst. But I once had a few hours interrogation off them and, being innocent I thought I could convince them I didn't do it .....stupid mistake number one!

Answer 10

No so far. In fact, I remember particularly one incident the policeman was very nice to me while he was giving me a ticket. I was a pretty new driver, and when I was exiting the freeway to get back on city roads, I merged without looking; he had to dodge me to not get hit. Anyways, he gave me a kind lecture, and told me to be careful driving. Even though he was lecturey, he was nice about it.. I even thanked him for the ticket and told him i would watch out from now on, and was sorry that I almost hit him.
