Good policing or just invasive?

Had a tiring 3 hr roud trip in London, picking something up from a client.

Parked on my road and took the satnav off from the dash. Have some trouble turning on the reading light, it flickers a bit (needed the light so I can unplug the satnav charger and put it in the glove compartment).

Suddenly two police jumps out of a van that was in traffic. One knock on my window and asks me what was I dismounting from the vehicle.. I'm in a bit of a shock, thinking did I jump a red light? do they think I have some police scanner in the car? etc. I reply "what you mean my satnav?" I pull out the satnav and show it to the police officer.

He then asks me why I'm nervous. I reply I'm not nervous. Then he asks me to step outside of the vehicle.

I don't like being told what to do, he can see my car keys in the barrell, he could ask to see my license while I'm sat inside the vehicle. I muttrer "flipping heck" as I walk out of the vehicle. Police starts shouting at me "I don't like your attitude". I'm seething. So the exchange is really foggy and I can't remember much of what happened next.

I showed them my license and everything checked out and they drove off. I really didn't like the way the police jumped into my face assuming I'm a crook trying to steal a satnav and also don't like how I've been effectively dragged out of my vehicle to show my ID.

What do you think? Good policing or invasive?

Why not wait until the truth and the full account appears from your foggy bad memory ? Happens a lot:cool: but never fails to make a good story :rotfl: :rotfl:
