I don't know if it's true but amusing anyway...

This was posted on the Nissan 200SX owners' club website last night,and
got distributed to other sites...
==============================
Was pulled over last night by a copper who'd followed me for a couple of
miles and breathalised. Bearing in mind I could barely stand it was no
surprise to find I was massively over the limit. This was particularly
disgraceful as I had the missus and kiddy with me in the car.
I was arrested and read my rights. It was all a very salutary
experience, especially when the copper got shirty because I found the
whole business side-splittingly funny.
His mate, whilst the arrest took place went and had a good look round the
car, came back and started whispering to the other copper.They are
whispering frantically at each other and neither of them look very
pleased.
Copper turns to me and starts accusing me of wasting police time, he
calls me a tw*t. I point out he's just sworn at a member of the public,
in front of an 18 month old child and that I'll report him for conduct
unbecoming.
Plod get back in their car and drive off, with the copper who'd had a
look round my car laughing his head off.
And the moral of the story for the police is....
Always check whether a car is left or right hand drive before
breathalising the guy in the right hand seat!!!!!
Full Version: Funny story
Like it!
True story or urban myth?! It wouldn't surprise me one bit.......

Hi,
Once upon a time (7th November 2002) there was a crack traffic officer performing his “safety camera enforcement duties” on the A449 in Gwent.
At 10:55:23 he used the speed-measuring device to confirm his prior opinion of excess speed of the target vehicle. The vehicle in question was indeed exceeding the prosecution threshold.
Then the Lastec system was directed at the driver revealing a Border Collie sitting on the front passenger seat.
The vehicle in question is a “left hooker”.
Do you think there is anyway of finding out how many points the magistrates gave the Collie?
Copies of the DVD are available on request.

This reminds me of a story which is definitely true. Two of my friends behaved like complete idiots by trying to get away from a police car that tried to stop them for speeding. The driver was sober (or at least not over the limit). But his friend in the passenger seat was completely pissed !
Anyway, they managed to escape down a small country lane and then parked the car in a dark turn off, got out of the car and hid in the bushes!
The police car found the parked car and then the two coppers started searching around the car and soon found my sheepish friends hiding there!!
Of course, because they were now out of the car they both got breathalised and I'm sure they would have prosecuted the passenger if he'd triggered the breathaliser. Luckily, despite having quite a few pints he only got an orange light and the driver got the green light as expected...

None since the dog license was phased out some years ago - aparently it didn't raise enough money
How come dogs can get the system changed and we can't

Ive been breatalised for being a passenger in a left hand drive car...
Story went something like:
Mate and me in his scabby old Opel Kadett (LHD) driving around when we get pulled.
Copper walks up to my window and asks me to step outside the car which i duly did.
He asks 'Is this your car?'
I reply that it isnt.
Copper then sticks his head through the window and asks my mate if it is his car.
He says 'yes it is.'
Copper then asks how often he lets his friends drive his car. He replies 'I dont!'
Copper starts getting shirty and threatens to breatalise me.
I refuse to give a sample.
Copper then starts getting more shirty and calls for some backup. Backup duly arrives and they proceed to try and arrest me for failing to provide a sample.
Friend finally gets out of the car and says to the new coppers 'why not breatalise me, i am driving the car after all'
Coppers all look in the car and notice the steering wheel is in the wrong place.
Coppers all leave in a hurry with plenty of apologies.
Mate and me laugh lots and threaten to sue for wrongful arrest!
