Unexpected BiB behaviour - Not what you think
Discussion
This isn't really traffic related, but as its the plod section, thought I would post to see if I was over reacting or not
This morning, at 3am I was very rudely awaken by somevery loud music coming from the road that runs behind our flat, that our bedroom over looks. Its a quiet road, used principally for access to a timber mill and so instantly assumed it was just a bunch of kids being idiots.
As i came to my senses a bit more, realised it was actually the Rocky Theme Tune, being played at full pelt from what sounded like an external speaker, or atleast a car with every single door open.
As i get to the bedroom window, I can see 1 police BMW, 1 police astra, and a riot van. As it turns out, its the BMW playing the rocky theme tune. I know this, because the little shit bag starts driving up and down the road, serenading us all with the music.
I was totally and utterly dumbstruck by this. Generally, who the hell thinks they have the right to wake people up at 3am in this manner?? Why should the police be able to??
Can someone let me know if this is some unknown tactic and that actually this was all in the name of real honest policing?
I have a few friends in the force and have a lot of respect for them as some of the situations they get themselves into are situations I honestly dont think i could handle. This however, has left me feeling a little deflated in what you boys do
So, am I overreacting about being woken up at 3am? And what do I say when I am supposedly being called back today by the duty officer (?)

In my days with VHF radio we were subjected at night to atmospheric freak receptions when Radio Poland and in particular Southampton Police (similar frequency to ours)would burst out of our sets.
Nice moonlight night last night was it?
Could be freak.
But there again......

Might explain what was being heard, but not how loud.

I worked in Bath and we used to get Cardiff police better than our own on occasions. Very confusing at first, then you got used to the accent.....
