159mph, and he got off???

 Nigel, The present opinions of the majority of Drivers,regarding the Police and the non existant PR improvement is very easy to understand.Peter F will be pleased to read, once again--if you have a slime Govt who Hijacks the police authority for its own political purposes, you must expect a breakdown in respect and co-operation from the Taxpayers.

The police service have allowed themselves to be taken over -  as if a Labour party department, and Did NOT protest, the Silence was deafening.In the belief that Millions of extra Stats will cure the ever increasing crime in this country, and the 9000 extra police paid by tax increases, will improve the law & order situation, and Taking TrafPol OFF our roads ------the position is Worse than ever.

The Police have NOT made it known that the whole system is crumbling away. due to the interference of Leftwing brainwashed zombies.Having the police take the blame for drivers anger, is the usual hands off -hide behind way that the slime work-labour sweetness & light working for the people with a complete lack of success.

With some signs that the "scamera,s solve All probs" being reviewed , and realisation that many mistakes have been and are being made--time will tell what the drivers attitude will be in the future on Police thinking and actions---many years good public PR destroyed in a short time , apathy helping it along.

Why is it you try to turn every topic around back on to the government.

The fact that this officer was caught speeding and got off has nothing to do with the government.

While I do not agree with this governments transport policy, your almost hysterical 'the governments out to get us all' view point is IMO worrying.

Either you do believe it and are just a little bit crazy  

Or you are using a common political tactic of trying to spread fear in order to further your own political ends

Also is it within the rules and guidelines that you can use this forum to push your own political agenda, which you clearly are doing.

Keep it up Ally, you and your like minded souls, keep plugging away, you never know, perhaps you'll eventually get the Police service disbanded. Ally you said yourself that the problem is only with a minority. Well if you know that yet still let that minority colour your view of the entire force then it says more about you than them

Not sure on the last line but I certainly have found more friendly, helpful, officers in uniform than I have obnoxious ones, the few of the latter I've come across I would not take as a general example.

In fact, my ex brother in law is a police officer in Peterborough and he would be horrified to be considered in any way similar to some of these recently in the news.

I do think it would help public moral if the loose cannons were seen to be disciplined, but the police must be getting sick of all this as well, and they have to deal with all the crap on the streets.

My post said NOT one word about the Speeding issue---it was in reply to Nigels comments on Police/Public relations which have deteriorated over the past 7-8 years. This has increased since the Govt.s Policy to use UK drivers as a political and Financial tool -and the Leftwing slime within their party, use the motorist on every opportunity as the reason for the the world coming to an end, while ignoring all other issues.

You , must live on a parallel world,  to not realise that the many problems with our country, have been created by THIS Govt,s inability to DO what it said it Could do--But needed more taxpayers money to to do it.So passing 1000 New laws since coming into power, many meaningless interference,s in our life , has impressed you ??. 

Youve found me  Out !!!!  , a closet political activist spreading doom n Gloom for my Political Ends--My Agenda is to remain a Free thinking-Free talking Petrolhead, one that is tolerant of other like minded people in a Democracy, and on a democratic Forum---if YOU wish to wear rose coloured glasses, enjoy while you can--they are on the next banned list !!!.

 This isn't only confined to the police, it's everywhere. The police do have a duty and obligation to be impartial - and they are expected to maintain that no matter what the provocation.

Of course they can't stamp it all out completely, not without mind control - lets not go there!, I have no idea how hard the CC's try, but they have constraints as well.

I just don't think having to deal with societies problems AND face constant sniping from the press is hardly helping them deal with any of these problems. Freedom of the press is great, but it can so easily be abused.
