On way home with my daughter after shopping( very sinister) I was stopped for a check . when i was about to drive away i asked why i had been stopped. The reply was and i quote, " Just for the sheer hell of it" This was a few years ago and it has stuck in my mind. Quite funny really.

Yes, I was coming out of a nightclub, began driving home and a policeman tailgated me for a mile without putting on the lights. I didn't know it was a police officer and figured it was some idiot, so I pulled into a parking lot in a shopping center hoping the person would go past. He charged me with DUI, but the charges were dismissed and he was reprimanded for entrapment (apparently I wasn't the first one, and he was eventually fired.) My girlfriend was with me and she testified on my behalf. He lied about the whole situation, and the judge even said that he didn't believe the policemans report. I have great respect for law enforcement, but there are the few rotten apples in the bunch.

Unfortunately, in the UK and EU police can stop you for no reason at all if they want to. Durring the time I lived in Germany I had an awful fright with this.
I had gone in to town to a pub I liked for a few pints. When the pub closed, I of course left. I was feeling rather good, but in fine control of myself. I wasn't tired and had the next day off so I decided to take the long way home instead of following the road the tram came down in to town. The last tram had long gone. I could never understand why this line stopped before the pubs closed, as the tram turn around was a stone's throw from the army camp and also a main link for people from the nearby village to get in to town as well as the local footie grounds.
It was a quiet and peaceful night and I was enjoying the quiet walk, alone with my thoughts. Quiet a luxury for a bloke living in Army Garrison. I was about halfway back to camp. I came up to a corner where I would be turning to go up the other side of the hill. On this corner there was just the corner of a building. No doors, windows or garden. An ideal place to pause for a moment, one would think. I stopped under the lamp, checked my watch and lit a smoke.
I took a couple of puffs on the ciggie and was about to embark on the 2nd half of the journey home when a plain car came from seemingly nowheres. Two men jumped out and pushed me in to the wall of the building, demanding in German who am I and what am I doing there. I replied in my best German, Who are you and what is the problem? I wasn't doing anything wrong. The larger of the two men asked me if I spoke english, to which of course I said yes, but, who are you.
He claimed that they were police and wanted to know what I was doing walking on that street late at night. Dispight being frightened as hell, I tried to be very polite, as I knew that if they were police that in Germany, they not only had a right to stop me for no reason, but also could thump me for no reason. I told these men that I had been at the pub and was having a walk home and had just stopped for a moment to light a smoke. The big man said that I did not belong there and to go home. They would be watching me and if I went any other way I would be arrested.
The men then got back in the car and left. As these men were in a plain car and clothes, I had no way of knowing if they were really police or not, as German police do not have to show you ID unless they are taking you in to custody. I proceeded towards my camp very slowly, looking over my shoulder at the sound of every car, or rustle of leaves.
I was very scared as I wasn't sure if I had run in to a couple of borred detective sargents looking for a bit of fun, or if I had in advertently walked in to a German Mob operation. I still do not know to this day and this is one of those wonderful memories that runs through the mind late at night when unable to sleep.
America may have it's faults, but the police cannot stop you without probable cause, unless they set up a road block and stop everyone passing.

Yes.
I used to drive a Ford Escort MKII, Red with a black stripe and white wheels.
I got stopped weekly.
So much so, that I started putting amusing things in the boot so that when the copper asked "can you tell me whats in the boot" I would say "Cuddly toy, food mixer, picnic set, set of dinner plates" and make it sound like the conveyor from the Generation Game.
It amused me anyway,.

Not only was I stopped for no reason, but I actually got a ticket from the cop.....he said **I** ran a red light and almost hit HIM....when in reality, it was him that ran the red light and almost hit me.....I went to Mayors court, fought it and WON...the cop got fired...and to this day, I am the ONLY person to have EVER had a traffic case thrown out in that village....(very small village - widely known for being a speed trap)

i have never been stopped by a cop yet. but if that happened and he said that to you ten you should of called the police dept. and told them what was going on. he can't just pull you over for no credible reason. it's too late now probably to do anything but if you would have done it then, you could of probably got him in trouble with his superiors and he may would have learned his lesson, and not done it again.

my mother asked me to go to the store to get her some pie pans with the graham cracker crust already in them. i stuck them under the seat so none of my friends would see them. i was pulled over after dropping off a co-worker in a rough neighborhood. the cops began searching my car from top to bottom and when he found a bag under the seat thought he had struck gold. you should have seen his face when he realized his big bust had gone bad. he asked me what i did with pie pans and i said, make pies. this cop harassed me until he finally retired.
