I remember not so long ago when Police patrol cars were plentiful,.don’t know if I’m looking through rose coloured gregorys here either, , but as far as I remember there was more of a type of mutual respect between copper and trucker, you got pulled, got a verbal and were sent on your way 9 times out of 10 (for relatively small matters,)…there was a kind of unwritten rule/understanding you would not get nicked up to 50 mph on a relatively safe 40mph main road, nowadays the odd copper you are lucky (or unlucky) to see is like a 70s Jim Davidson comedy routine with his ‘Nickometer’…nick nick nick for trivial and easy target offences, and 90% of policing is done by camera …that equals…zero deterrent for knob heads, that equals more crap driving on motorways.
More Police traffic patrol Range Rovers with fair minded coppers a la 70s/80s doing a visual presence, and keeping knobheads on their toes…no argument from me mate.

Public order offense he should have fined you or summoned you to court for it.You cannot commit s.5 PO offense if it is directed at a Police Officer, that is s.4a, unless it is racially motivated it only then becomes a crime.
.Don’t let facts and points of law get in the way of Dicky’s theories mate ffs.
It’s ok rob I’d have found something to issue a fine for
Eventually someones going to take umbrage /or be startled by the giraffe in the passenger seat and sideswipe them. That would actually be very funny to see , the giraffes face as the unit careens off into the crash barrier at an angle

Maybe you would, …but it’s only REAL coppers that can issue tickets, not those who fantasise about being a one.
