Whilst parked at the side of the road last night, observing traffic flow with my 'Chav Indicator' set to 'seek and destroy'...I see red Ford Escort estate travel towards me...It's dark and I can't see the driver...all is looking ok, but as the vehicle passes by, I notice there are no rear position lights, (tail lights)..

I pull out, then give him a 'bit of blue light' and speak to him at the roadside. "I've only bought it yesterday"...Mmmm always leads to offences..
In the back of my car, this lad (early 20s) is sweating like a racehorse as he supplies his details. I smell something fishy and it's not the contents of the driver's pants, it's what's emerging from his lying mouth.
I give him more fatherly talks on the dangers of lying to me..he then admits to his real details and he's only a provisional licence holder and doesn't have any insurance.

He's reported for the offence and he locks the car up and waits for his friend to pick him up.

That's the mentality of 90% of these numpties...I mean if you had no licence/insurance, you'd make sure your lights worked etc...

Amazing isnt it? Why oh why do these people bother getting up in the morning? Adds new meaning to the phrase "Criminally stupid"....

P.S. More stories like this please.... they are funny, amazing and bring a little reality to the rather serious issues sometimes..

Another quick one then...

Vehicle parked in a lay-by last night. Female behind the wheel, male front seat passenger, two males in the rear. I'm on my own.

I stop my car and 'have a chat' with them as they look dodgy..Result..They are dodgy...No tax on vehicle..HORT/1 to driver..(we'll see if she produces anything)...
F/S/P is a villain but nothing outstanding, as is R/O/S passenger. R/N/S passenger; no trace on the police computer. I don't believe he's telling me his true name, but he's only a passenger and hasn't done anything wrong. I did a bit deeper and question him about his neighbours etc so that I can do voters checks over the radio. Still it's coming back negative. My spidersense in tingling as this guy looks a scrote and in my opinion 9/10 times they are scrotes. I eventually search the boot of the car and find in a bag a library card with a name on it that nobody in the car has given me. The PNC result on that name reveals the man with the false name exactly matches his description and is wanted x 5 for burglaries, thefts from cars etc etc. RESULT...handcuffed and locked up....(Back to prison of matey boy)...

"Back of the net..."

"I only bought it yesterday" on the TV programs this usually means it's an uninsured, untaxed chavmobile, good to see it's the same in real life.

The "Chav Indicator", "Scrote selector" and other such equipment aren't available on e-bay but made in my shed in the garden following several years of dealing with the scum of the earth and such like...

Trouble is...once installed they can never be turned off and even walks with my dog involves 'activations'.

Nice one geezer.

Were you bitten by a genetically enhanced crim at an early age to get the mutant chav-sense?



I submit that this is what policework is about. Not 78mph on the M4.

I'm impressed that he had a library card.

Good one Street

Reminds me of getting pulled over lateish one evening in my yoof (in a Skoda Rapide Coupe). The BiB asks "Were you aware one of your rear lights is not working" I reply without thinking "Oh you're joking" "No sir, if I was joking..."(Note to self: try not to give them feed lines)He then did the whole "Come clean sonny, it'll be better for you in the long run" and gave me a 7 day wonder when he didn't believe my protestations of innocence. All very civilised and I was on my way again in 10 minutes. (I was also fully taxed/MOTed/insured etc, which probably helped)

Well just so as youll recognise me if youre ever lucky enough to er...have me in the back of the car, if you should utter those immortal lines " Anything you say will be taken down".....youll know its most likely me cos i shall respond with; " Underpants".
I dont expect you to actually take the suggestion literally tho, cos im not that kinda guy.
