A driver in Suffolk has been fined £60 for speeding by a bogus police officer.The man was driving on London Road in Brandon at 0300 BST on Friday when he was stopped by a grey Ford Mondeo with a blue light on the front grill...
...[i]Police have issued drivers with advice on how to tell if a police officer is genuine...[/i]
"A spokeswoman said a police officer shall identify himself by shoving 20,000 volts up your jacksie with his Tazer before issuing a fixed penalty notice"
🙂
They almost deserved that really... 🙄
[i]He told the man he had stopped him because he was speeding and asked for £60 to cover the fine. He drove off when he was given the money.[/i]
Bloke was fugging lucky to escape with his life, imo - has he not seen [i]No Country for Old Men[/i]?

Gary: Oh, don't worry, Mr. Simpson, we can take care of ourselves.
Snake: Uh, wallet inspector!
Benjamin: Oh, here you go. I believe that's all in order.
Snake: Wow, I can't believe that worked! (runs away)
Homer: Hey wait a minute… that's not the wallet inspector!
I've just checked, and no, it's NOT April 1st.
How can anyone be so gulliable?
The man is described as white, in his late 30s and had a Liverpool accent.
ah that explains it, everyone trusts a scouser

Scouser?
Theft?
*edit Bollocks, wasn't quick enough 🙂
wasn't there a thread on here a while back where that happened to someone? IIRC they got pulled over for 'dangerous driving' (pulling into fast lane of motorway?) by someone who cllaimed to be a plainclothes policeman, swore at them a lot and then didn't book them.
How can anyone be so gullible? It was in Brandon... They are all like that up there. It's very close to Norfolk.
Could have been the Taliban.

I can't understand why he went to the press. Why would anyone do that ?
Presumably he isn't worried about feeling completely and utterly humiliated 😕
Which kinda makes it difficult for me to feel any sympathy. Tw4t.
I work in Ely, not far from Bradon, and webbed feet & inbreeding are
not uncommon. 🙂
