Police are stupid

[efq]

No, he and his friends who looked young to be Police officers stopped at the traffic lights (they take ages) turned them on, no sirens went across and turned them off and continued driving off slowly.

I hear sirens all the time at night, they don't care the slightest about waking someone lol. If it was serious then they should of put sirens because if a car pulled out when he did that and they hit him, it would be there problem because there would be no audio alert.

Lol I ain't read most of the comments cause its a lot but it seem's you've missed my whole point. The fact he was so rude to me at the end not even thanking me for being so easy and kind and not being awkward to just tell me 'Off you go' without saying nothing is why I felt annoyed.
If he had gone 'Thanks for your time, have a nice day' then I wouldn't even be here talking about it.

The cops in Cambridge in corrupt anyway, I've pulled up at a crossroad at midnight and a cop put his lights on to go through a red light and turned them off when he got across. Wish I had his license.

Some times, if the police are attending a 'shout' they don't always have the lights on for example if theyre near the scene, or trying to appear un seen, low-amounts of traffic or whatever they normally turn the lights off and use the lights/sirens when they need to make people aware that they need to get passed. Obviously I or you don't know, he might have been lazy to wait a few minutes or he might have been needed else where.

But I can see where you are coming from, but from his point of view, he may have thought you saw him coming and decided to run off. If that was me, I wouldn't be greatful for the persons help as 'I' had to go after them, so I guess that's what he was thinking.

He is a stubborn git anyway this was the another one of those who ride bikes who came by and was raising his voice

Lol, you didn't say "And thank you?" I would of, by force of habit :S But yeah, if you match a description you kinda do have to comply

[efq]

Well it an honest mistake and by chance I had earphones in. I'm going to complain anyway. I think he hates me anyway from the past.

No point in causing a stink... they'd probably "hate" you even more.

You can't be too harsh, when you got to a crossroad he didn't run up behind you and pummel you to the ground like he and other officers could of done, tired or not. It's kinda good he told you that you look liked someone, than immediately expected you were that someone

[Immenseman]

imagine you had been the person they were looking for. also, on about the polite, yeah maybe they were a bit rude but hey, it's a stressful job. your complaint isn't going to go very far about them being "rude" when they weren't, lol.

Right I just left my mates house and I had a bag (just crap) and it's a pretty dark place that I came out of but anyway I got to the end of this passage and just generally looked around and just felt like I'd run home.

What I didn't take into notice when I looked around, I saw a Police officer walking towards me and as I was running down the road he was running after me (I had my iphone playing music pretty loud) and like only like 30 seconds late when I stopped to cross the road I notice him huffing a puffing behind me.

He goes 'Don't move' and I was like 'what?' then he goes 'Why did you run when you saw me?' I said 'I didn't, I didn't even notice you, I just wanted to run back...' he goes 'Right, where have you just come from?' I said 'From a mates house...' then he goes on about whats in the bag and I tell him it's just crap.

He goes well, I am going to have to write out a form (which was pink when he took it out) and then I noticed just after he begun to write I saw 2 police cars come down the road (one being a dog one, had the cage and said K9 unit or sommet). I said 'Was this all because I was running and not stopping?' He goes, 'Yes, we are looking for someone who had a similar description who had recently evaded a hit and run'. (At this time the police officers that came in the car were out with him)

So he goes, 'Could you please get in my colleagues car to take some details' so I did and he had this finger print thing that he said I had to do, I don't know why but I did it. After about 30000 years of sorting this out, he goes 'Ok, heres your slip' 'Your finger print has been taken to see if it matches the one on the car'. He goes, 'We will need a breathalyzer test incase that it matches the finger prints, we can determine if you were over the drinking limit at the time'

Then after that he let me go, no thanks or whatever so rude and said 'Off you go'

I swear I would of spat at him if he didn't have his stupid friends and a big ass dog.

*You were running around at night with a bag
*You ran past a police officer with said bag
*"It's just crap" is not at all helpful and makes you sounds more suspicious
*The forms have to be done as a legal matter
*You matched the description of a hit and run

It may well have been an inconvenience to you being taken for prints and such, but I'm sure if you'd been knocked down and left you'd want the police to actually check suspicious people instead of just letting everyone go who doesn't admit to a crime :rolleyes: furthermore the attitude displayed in the thread name and last sentence don't make me believe that you were being that co-operative anyway - either that or you're playing it up now you're safely away and are just a coward

Well it an honest mistake and by chance I had earphones in. I'm going to complain anyway. I think he hates me anyway from the past.

If it's an honest mistake what possible grounds do you have to complain? Simply because he didn't say thanks? It'd be nice if everyone was polite all the time but there's no law on it I'm afraid

[dirrty]

you're just acting like a baby. they did their jobs correctly and no, i wouldn't be calling the police 'stupid' right about now...
