PLOD WATCH....


Recommended Posts

Right thought it about time we had something that let members know what's what from around the UK ... We all love and respect the boys & girls in Blue but none of us want a run in with them... so i figured lets get our eyes and ears to good use out there... Keep it as a simple list for now, Happy Plod watching !!!

  • M6 motorway junction 23-19 Dark Blue unmarked BMW 5 Series estate

  • A444 Bedworth to Nuneaton - Unmarked Gun metal grey Golf R32. patrols weekdays 8am - 7pm

  • M6 up to manchester... I regularly see these two Volvo estate grey and unmarked I think 09 plate
    BMW 5 series black I think 59 plate it has the SE spec wheels on it no decals at all just darker rear end windows... if you look closely it has the super sneaky lights mounted on the bumper corners

  • Harrogate area we have dark coloured unmarked Audi A4s, silver BMW 5 series unmarked, a couple of silver impreza STI, 1 subtley liveried and one unmarked,many silver discoveries, some unmarked some stickered up and a load of burgundy focuses, seeing as no one else ever bought a burgundy focus ever they stick out a mile

When we left telford and headed north on the m6 we saw a sneaky skyline gtr with stealth lights hidden in grille and rear window.

There is also an unmarked police sports bike who hangs out round our local bike runs..

I dont mind police, they have a job to do like the rest of us but i know far too many people who have had their points accumiliated by being 'provoked' into a bit of spirited driving as i'm sure most people do now abd again.. Its just a little unfair to find out that the car that was 'johnning' you up was a copper..

I must add that i do not endorse dangerous driving at all and i do agree with the post 100 mph ban..

Not the point i was making mrs events organiser ... no one mentioned Speeding ... Modified cars attract the PLOD like flies on **** ... Just trying to give members a rough idea what to look out for when on travels.. How members drive on the public highway is entriely their responsibilty. Now back to the task in hand ....

Funny you should say this matey. I actually genuinely dont mind police as i've never really been pulled for anything other than something i deserved to be pulled for, which is fair cop and they're only doing theyre job.

But recently a few officers (the bellends that didnt care about the golf getting broken into and the officer i had dealings with this weekend!) have been ruining my so far pleasent police experiences!

FINALLY got the golf back on the road at the weekend and was driving to the gym about 16:45 when i spotted one of the 2 red unmarked standard 5dr fiestas we have up here following me. Naturally i checked my speedo: 30, happy days - maybe just coincidence. Then approaching some traffic lights they turned amber just as I got to them so no time to stop and unsafe to slam on the anchors so i just went through them. I wasnt speeding either as immediately after the lights the road has a 90deg turn right.

Next thing i know the chubby little copper is next to me on the dual carraigeway telling me to put my passengerside window down! Then proceeds to give me a bollocking about speeding coz apparently he had to do 35mph to catch me to which i replied i wasnt surprised seeing as he pulled out a junction and WANTED to catch up with me so was never going to if he kept at 30 as well! Then the sweaty, red faced, bald, bully victim, in his flustered state then starts lecturing me about traffic lights. To which i calmly explained that had i of slammed the brakes on and stopped on the line JUST as the lights turned amber I might have caused him to drive up my rear! Then came his best reply "Yes but you caused me to go through an amber, changing to red, light without any lights or sirens...". I was speechless at this point, was VERY angry and knew had I of replied he would have just done me for something!! So I took my clearly well deserved bollocking, apologised and drove off saving myself from some well deserved points no doubt haha!

So Carlisle has 2 red unmarked standard sh1tbox mk6 Fiestas lol

you're correct it certainly is their responsibility, I think a couple of people did mention speeding in their earlier posts on this thread

tbh traffic police only seem interested fast or dangerous driving in my experience I was just raising a point

thinking realistically though... how do you envisage that people refer to this thread when out on the road?

Good point raised Mrs Events Organiser ( my bad sorry !! lol )... Maybe they can check the thread before they go on their travels just to see if there's a post on the route they take ???

A rather unusual looking Ford Focus RS, marked Around A46/A4600.

Followed me home for 4 miles on main roads and minor roads, sat up my arse and causing more near misses with other drivers than I've ever counted in a week.

Follwed eventually, to a set of red lights, they both sat staring over at me and giving me "intimidating looks".

Wound the window down and asked them if there was a problem and why they had sat so close to my car for over 4 miles, so much so that their lights were not visible in my rear view, I ended up getting "no, there's no problem, though If you keep up with that sort of aggressive attitude, you'll end up with one".

Still, they're okay to do that and have that **** poor verbal attitude to innocent members of the public because they're the police.
