  • nope, they pulled out followed me home to my front door (on a housing estate of 6 houses so not public road) just to get out and say hello, theyve also followed me for 10 minutes from my parents house, pulled over on roads and pulled back out again behind me... that sort of behaviour

    My son finds it all fantastic, hes obsessed with 999 reality tv so its like a real life episode of road wars but theyre normally chasing boy racers/unlicensed/uninsured etc

    If they follow you home again, why not just ask them? Or pop in your local police station and see if they can shed some light. That might be the easiest way to find out. I think I'd be slightly concerned that the number plates have been cloned or something like that.

    Or somebody dodgy has illegally spaced/fonted plates that make it look vaguely like yours?
    I need to think of something new here...
  • thats sounds likea very plausible explanation - your number plate may of been cloned, i bought a 2nd hand car 10 yrs ago an kept getting pulled over by the boys in blue, went to local station an queried it, apparently the car was previously owned by a known drug dealer 250 miles away !! so yes it was tagged in my case, but police have gotta job to do, i'd visit local cop shop to clarify situation if i was you m8 . good luck

    I once worked with a guy, who was a bit of an idiot. He came into work one day f-ing and blinding about coppers and their enjoyment of certain one-handed activities.

    After getting him to calm down he explained that he'd been followed home every night this week, stopped and breathalysed then let go, and he was getting sick of it.

    A week later he was stopped on the way home from the pub, breathalysed and done for drunk driving.

    I wasn't exactly sympathetic.
