If you do nothing then you'll never know why they did it.

I know some people think the police are whiter than white & would never dream of doing anything wrong .... because they're the police right & only ever do the right thing!

But with that said...



I have to agree with the above.

I complained about a police officer once. I was in a collision with a local thug. This guy tried to run me off the road. I knew who he was & i knew how unstable he was so i didn't stop. I know you're supposed to stop but when you know how unstable this guy is i'm sorry but you don't stop. I know some here will say you should stop no matter what but i've got something if those people start up. I was going to call the police when i got home.

But he beat me to it. Said i'd ran in to him. Yeah that's why his tyre marks were all over my rear wheels as he was turning in to me.

Anyway the police officer said i should call the guy. I said no chance plus i don't need to. It's an insurance job. I explained why i didn't stop & told him not to forward my mobile number on. He said he wouldn't.

Next minute i'm getting unpleasant texts off this guy. The cop lied. Clearly. So i put in a complaint.

They wanted me to come in to discuss it as they were going to deal with the cop. When i got down they didn't even discuss it & wouldn't entertain it. Instead talked about having me for not stopping. I explained why i didn't stop, how i felt it was unsafe to do so & how i was going to call the police when i got home which would've only been 10-15 minutes later when i felt it was safe. I told them i know who this guy is and i know they know who this guy is & i know how they know what its like to get turfed out of this guys house as i know he was chucking cops out as quick as they were entering on some raid. The woman clearly accepted that we were talking about a maniac but ignored it anyway.


I never got done for not stopping in the end but the point is if there's any way they can cover each other then they will. When you see in the papers cops getting off driving 150mph on open roads because they're 'testing' or whatever then you're going to have to be on your A-game to have a cop. If they haven't killed anyone for no reason with plenty of witnesses present then nothing will happen to them.

So just because you found one policeman that lied, they are all liars? Grow up. Did you make a complaint against him? I'd hazard a guess not.

Make an allegation of bad driving and provide a statement.

If you're not prepared to do that then move on.

Not sure what point you're trying to make there or even if you have one.

He was found not guilty in court and if you knew the full story about that particular incident you'd know you're way off the mark.

Go for it. You may however be asked your name address vehicle reg. At which point you may get stopped for apparent random checks ever few days.

If the OP makes a complaint then of course he'll be asked for his name and address.

There is no reason on earth for him to provide his reg.no.

If it has been the other way round you would almost certainly have been prosecuted. Putting it on YouTube is an option, or report it to the chief constable.

Correct. But the police have a voracious appetite for data. They will want to know it, together with DoB, place of birth, occupation, your employer and much else besides.

Give somebody else's perhaps? Preferably somebody you have a grudge against.

There's good reason for those two.

Yes, they may ask your occupation but not your employer.

No, but they'll require the make, model and colour of his car.
