I should have started this thread on here really, but I'd like to direct you to this thread. Have you ever been pulled by a plod for no reason at all and lectured for following the highway code. Something it seems, the police know little about!!!

I overtook a copper at about 45mph in a 50 (he was doing about 30 ish) and he didn't like it, then lectured me a complete load of boocks!

See my thread on page two of this forum....again it looks like lack of proper training has surfaced,when i learnt to lay bricks all the bullsh*t was in the classroom and you didnt really learn the real stuff till you were out on site and had built up experience,the same can be said of many trades including Police work i would imagine.
Perhaps the Police force need to look at ways of integrating inexperienced coppers in with the experienced lot,because at the moment all i seem to be bumping into are the 'self important i'm going to lecture you 'Sir' and you will listen mob'.
No matter what job you are in "Networking" can open a lot of doors in time,but i feel with the recent attitude all it will serve to do is close them.
