Overtook a Community Police Car
Discussion
Overtook one of these little cars on the way to work, he was driving behind a bus which was doing 35mph, as usual, so I overtook him on a clear section of road (nsl), no junctions, didn't even need to "speed" etc and plenty of space to pull in but the batsarad flashed me with his headlights and gave me a certain hand gesture . . . 
Overtook the bus 20 seconds later and he didn't follow.
Why do they try to piss people off like this ? Is it the little Hitler problem or is there a new law that says we're not allowed to overtake them if they are "community" plod ?
Doing themselves no favours.

PCSO by any chance?
I think so, the thread title says "community officer" so I guess so. Sad really, half baked schemes to get half a**d mini hitlers into "policing" to feck it all up for the real police.. You must p**s yourself when you see them strutting around...
Saw one in Liverpool St a while back, standing around, arms folded, next to the two firearms officers.. You'd think he was in charge of the whole London police...
Ohhhhhhhh, the stories we could tell.......m.lovell said:
I thought the whole idea of cumminity police was to get them out in the community not driving around in cars........
Ah, well, you see, THAT depends on HOW DANGEROUS the area is. You see, near us, there is a quiet, leafy village, with pretty much no crime. And no footpath either. So, our interprid hero to be is sadly unable to leave her car and walk the streets, for "health and safety" reasons, i.e. no footpath. The fact that everyone in said leafy village walks along day in and day out with no footpath is not a concern.

Damn right report him. Clearly driving aggressively (flashing of lights) and undue care and attention (coffee beans).

Quite true,
But you have to prove the person sufferred distress. So, OP should have reported his anguish straightaway or seen the doc
I'd have gone to casualty, lol or had a word with the tit! Boosted.
Sorry to be dim but whats a 'Community Police Car'?
I have seen the quasi-coppers (green uniforms + orange jackets) wandering around the centre of Leeds but didn't realise they had cars too?
Do they look like regular police cars?
Also if the guy behaved like that in uniform in a marked car then he really is a disgrace to the service and to the other decent officers.
