This thread has been very interesting. I haven't been pulled over but always wondered what i needed to do as when you watch cop shows some stay in the car and some get out.

1. Stay in your vehicle - end of.There is no reason for anyone who is stopped to get out.

We buried our second colleague in Manchester today - both officers were murdered for "doing their job"

Please take 5 minutes out to watch the above link and then ask yourself - when was the last time you put your life on the line to serve others ? (Armed Forces personnel need not reply :beer:)

So to all on this thread making smart remarks, thanks for your respect.

That's a sad thing to happen, but people die doing all kinds of jobs. It's not like serving in the army in Afghanistan in terms of risk - you're much more likely to die at work if you are, say, a builder (50 deaths last year), or a farm worker (30 deaths last year), than a police (an average of fewer than 2 deaths per year).

Lots of people choose to do jobs that put them at risk. Emotive references to the deaths of police in Manchester, particularly if the police in question are in say, Downing Street, do nobody any favours.

(There are other reasons to give respect to police of course, but this isn't one of them.)

Easily done, if you're as thick as mince. What I said was that you should suck a$$, not admit to crimes in advance of being accused.

At a junction at night the officer behind me turned the lights on... I remained stationary and in my car, after a minute the officer jogged to my car window to tell me a break light had gone. Think she was expecting me to come to her though

No you agreed to stay polite and apologise under the proviso of sucking up to the copper (see? no need to try to circumvent the swear filter if you simply broaden your vocabulary to use different words in the first place)

That's wrong.

Last time I got stopped, I was very polite. I did everything the officer asked for. At no point did I apologise, especially when he gave me the NIP in the back of the car because I didn't think I was speeding.

I never paid the NIP and they never followed it up. If I had apologised they could certainly have mentioned it in court.

Be polite and tug forlock as appropriate.

Last time I was pulled it was two cops, one was nice the other was an ariis.
Nice one I got on side when answering his first question of, "Does this thing have a MOT?" I laughed and advised it did and it just cost be 900 quid, he asked how much car was I told him 400 quid and he laughed.

Arris copper was miffed he couldnt find a record of me on his database as he had spelt my surname wrong, this prompted him to examine my car thoroughly whilst I chatted to nice copper. He examined, tyres, tax, washer fluid levels, windscreen wipers, lights etc etc

He seemed quite miffed that I was fully legal considering the old heap it was, he even wanted to dip my tank for cherry, until his colleague pointed out that I was driving a petrol.

If you've been pulled over, the Plod clearly thinks you've done something wrong so suck-a$$ is the way to go.

They may think it, but if you actually haven't, then there's nothing to apologise for.

A few years ago, my father and I took a weeks holiday in the City of his birth.

Having not lived there for over 50 years, his local street knowledge wasn't brilliant.

On the Sunday evening, we were out looking for an open chippie, when we were pulled over by a police 4X4.

I asked the officer if there was a problem?

He asked if were local?, to which I replied we were from Manchester (no doubt he already knew this via the PNC), and had got lost looking for a chippie.

He advised us to follow him to the one they used (plod always know the best chippies, pubs, etc.), which we did.

At no point did I apologise, because I hadn't done anything wrong.

No it isn't.

Do you make a habit of apologising, for something you haven't done :huh:
