What utter nonsense.

For starters the lunatic in question wasn't a cop. Furthermore, plenty of cops have been reported or nicked for all manner of offences.

Did someone in blue piss on your cereal?

Just have a look at some of his posting history and you will quickly reach a conclusion...

r3g - you do have some outlier points.

This one (above) and it is you on the 'Odd things your neighbours do' thread, too, yes?

Anti-police, anti-small children (specifically, boys) - anything else?

In that case the alternative option comes into play, which is that those in the Northamptonshire and Leicestershire police tasked with investigating this were just incompetent.

Not sure that is a lot better.

Certainly seems to have some issues, difficult to know whether to have sympathy or laugh.

Another one? Maybe not. Or perhaps a cunning way to pretend you’re not when you really are. But no insurance? Why would you do that on a car that’s certain to attract the beady eyes of the law?!

Because people who do that are fking stupid, there are plenty of reports of people in very obvious cars, doing stupid things that draw attention to themselves, who aren't insured or taxed.

Eggsactly. These people are so desperate for attention and validation that they will do things we consider to be stupid. The driver wanted to show his nice looking car, with a Japanese Police twist, that many at car show enthusiasts would find interesting, and the lack/cost of insurance was less of a barrier than being cool at Santa Pod.

Agreed, I don't really see Japanese Police Car Guy as a walt. No-one would confuse it with a genuine UK police car, and he doesn't seem to have set out with the intention to act like a police officer either. However, he does have (and was using) illegal red flashy lights on it, and is driving around with no insurance. He's just a twit, not a walt.

Yes, and let's hope the car doesn't get crushed.

This plumber seems to have a bit of the walt about him: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3gxg4jd0ggo

I don't think it counts as walting when it's just good old fashion grifting, Walts do it for reasons you can't actually comprehend.

Dunno like, he certainly maximised his media airtime.

A scratty old dog cage perched on the rear seats of a Focus. Is that how the police cars are kitted out too?

[CountyAFC]

This what the proper guys look like.

3 cages with water and matching equipment etc. Wembley bomb squad dogs.

[Stick Legs]

Are you some sort of madman?
Don’t you love your country?

Posting images like that on a public forum!

The inside of bomb disposal vans is Official Sensitive material at least!

Shocked & appalled.

4x4 Response out in force today at the Chiltern Hills Classic Car Rally, lots of hi-vis waiting to be called to help someone. The only flaw being the warm weather and a complete bone dry grass field with no mud whatsoever.

Love the single tree air freshener, as if that's going to freshen the back of a van with 3 dogs!
Edited to add just seen the second one - dog smell crisis averted!

Can't smell a thing, it's always like that.

I only had one dog on a previous job, and he stunk to high heaven!
