I had an incident with the Police yesterday. While dealing with me they were illegally parked. Could I make a formal complaint against them! They should've have parked there but this is mainly me being spiteful !

Yup, I think they can park pretty much where they like (within reason) while conducting police business.

In the absence of the full story. Well have to guess what really happend.
alright, so you were riding down the road naked apart from a cowboy hat, and you were still half cut from the night before. You accidentally rode you bike out in front of their car cutting them off then you gave them the two finger salute as you yanked a bottle of Jack Daniels out from under your trench coat that you had strapped over your handle bars. But thats when your tinny fell out. So the cops decided to pull you over but you decided to make a run for it. They gave chase. Well can yah blame them!Gee, what did you expect troggy.

Well if ya gunna tell storys get ya facts right. First he's naked bar a hat then he had a trench coat on, sheeeesh man, this could go to court.

No it is quite clear the trench coat is strapped to the handlebars.
I don't believe troggy would be riding naked with only a cowboy hat on however. He would insist on an approved sefety helmet at least.

No, the reason he was being pulled up was because he was NOT wearing a safety approved helmet.Bloody cyclists!.

That's a fair description. pays to check the legal description and that's not hard to do.includes something like ".while in the execution of their duty." Can't say I care for the use of the word "execution" though, thank goodness they don't wear firearms!

I think its time a new piece of legislation was introduced worded simply:
"Police are not to create more of a hazard than that which they are trying to prevent."
That would go a long way to preventing the stupidity which is sold to us as road Policing.

Will you feel proud of yourself for being spiteful!Or would you rather think of yourself as mature!

This is going to become ever more prevalent as more and more people get tickets for 1km/h over the limit while passing on dual carriageways and the like.
Sadly, no thought has gone in to the effect on peoples respect of the Police. Support and respect of the community is about the best weapon the Police have against crime, yet they seem all to willing to forgo it in favour of tazers and guns.

My wife and i saw a cop pull a truck with an oversize load up,stopped and parked right in front him, on a blind corner. The truck driver went apeshit at the cop because of the danger he created, and was asking the cop ,who would be responsible if another vehicle hit his truck, and why he didn`t go another 50 metres up the road, to a big park area, the cop said he can pull him up anywhere and any time he chooses. We were walking past , watched and heard it, and couldn`t help but think how arrogant the cop was, and how stupid too.The truckie was more concerned about other people`s safety than the cop was.

shoulda spoke up. I would have if I saw something parked on a blind corner. Cop or not!

That's it in a nutshell. I have seen many like this.
The worst was probably the night time breath testing that had cars backed up to half way around a 100km/h blind corner. When I mentioned this to the cop the response I got was "oh it was backed up further before". Absolutely ZERO common sense.
Another one was a cop stopped in the middle of a dual carriageway in poor weather at night with his lights facing into oncoming traffic. Looked like a car coming at you the wrong way down the dual carriage way.
I had another one slam their brakes on in front of me and come to a near stop with no indicators at 100km/h with a line of cars behind me. Turns out he had just found a goodplace to hide and had not bothered to look in his rear view mirror or indicate. Luckily I had 4 seconds between me and him but I needed all of it as I was being tailgated.
Then there are the idiots that park speed camera's and radar cars semi-obscured in the middle of passing lanes. I have seen several near pileup's as people instinctively brake during passing maneuvers.
The stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

The thing is, this will continue until their is an independent authority to complain to with regard to roading Police.
The Police complaints authority do not cover road Policing so they do what they like.
That and as mentioned above there needs to be a set in stone legislation that insists that they must not create road hazards.
Or. we could just weed out the large number of neanderthals in the force.
