Yep without a doubt! If it paid more or I could do 9-5 I would do it.

[matt uk]

Doubt it. I'm not sure I could put up with all the red tape BS these guys and girls have to put up with.

Also, my p*ss boils just watching those "Police, Camera, Action" shows. If I ever got my hands on some of those chav scum wkers, the red mist may fall and I may accidently tear them a new one in front of a documentary film crew..

Every time i watch road wars a get an urge to be a traffic cop, but i expect it looks at lot more fun then it is. Reckon i could do it though.

I don't think I could.
Too much paperwork, not enough real time on the beat.
& I'd get fed up with real crims getting off while "easy results" get punished.

/holds hairdrier at car passing window, eats doughnut, repeat

I think I could manage

[oobster]

Nope. I don't have much patience, I would get sacked on my first day!

[okgo]

No, I couldn't do some of the things they do. Operating speed cameras being one of those things.

[MK4 Slowride]

Only if I was Traffic in a BMW of sorts but strictly no less than 6 cylinders and no devil fuel.

Beat bobby type officer I'd have to be paid £100,000+ p/a to be able to do it. All the bullst would really piss me off and put me right off.

[AngryApples]

Nope

again, dont have the patience (or the guts in some cases)

Top mraks to those that do it though, whilst I have the odd gripe they do a good job under harsh circumstances (red tape, abuse, physical risk.....)

Same here, I think it can be a very rewarding job, but with my total lack of patience I wouldn't last long

[eldar]

No. I couldn't resist arresting people just for being fkwits. Sadly this isn't actually illegal.

[DirtyHarry88]

Could, but couldn't be arsed.

[parapaul]

20 years ago, quite probably. In this climate of endless paperwork and ridiculous political correctness I would probably just burn out in a frustrated mess.

Yes, but how long do you have to do it to get on 40k?

[elster]

God no.

They just need to check my record and I would be out of the door.

I am not deemed to be acceptable as a bobby.

[Fittster]

No, would have problems enforcing laws I consider to be unjustice.

I work for Lidl, today I had to chase 2 junkies out of my shop to get a bottle of whisky back, which ended up in a bit of a scrap, got the whisky back though and one of them might well have a broken nose I had 1 other member of staff on duty, no baton, no cs spray, no handcuffs, no stab vest and my staff member was useless. Thats a fairly regular occurance and is increasing a lot lately due to the upsurge in pikey bds being even less well off than before and shoplifting more. I work 50 hours a week including weekends, and obviously end up in court as a witness semi regularly (which isnt exactly a burden, its a skive that you get paid for).
If one of my staff doesnt turn up or whatever I end up working my days off too.

All in all being a plod sounds like a cake walk to be honest, at least you get a good pension out of it, stop moaning.

Too long.

Just going from what is on Traffic Cop shows I'd get sick of catching some scrote red-handed, dragging them out of a stolen Astra, fighting with them to get the handcuffs on, fighting again to get them in and then out of the van all on film only for the CPS to drop the case for lack of evidence.
