Wake Up Call Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 From an organisation that acts as though it's untouchable. Unaccountable. Arrogant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happier diner Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 5 hours ago, Barlow said: There's a connected woman down our way who lives on a lane with double yellow lines. At night people often park there (there is still plenty of room for a fire engine to pass). She phones her friends in the police and within usually about 20 minutes one of her police (it's always a man) friends comes along and slaps a ticket on the windscreen. A minor point maybe, but very irritating. Double yellow line means no parking at anytime. Not you can park here if there is room for a fire engine to pass. I have no sympathy whatsoever. You take the risk, you pay the fine. Its called a law. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice of Reason Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Chie said: Is that really the statement of the girls themselves? Starts of as "we are two 17 year old girls" and then towards the end "anyone who has kids would understand". Reads more like the parents of the girls writing the statement on their behalf. Nothing against that btw, just an observation. From the girls original statement - “ I proceeded to stop the car”. Seems almost a bit copspeak to me. But again nothing against that, just an observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fool and his money..... Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 "we have plenty to do in weather like this without this unnecessary drama." Although apparently plenty of time to make a semi-literate, condescending post on Facebook - resulting in this unnecessary drama. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringy Rose Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) She thought her car was going to blow away in a 70mph wind. A car which faces a 70mph wind every time it moves forward down a motorway. There’s thick and there’s that. Makes you wonder how she passed her test. I can see why the police thought it was a crank call when it came in. Even now we know it wasn’t a crank call, I still can’t believe someone as thick as that girl is allowed to drive a car. Regardless of all that, #DarwinAward is hugely offensive and I can’t believe they went there. Guess the cops running the social media aren’t any brighter than that girl.

Do you often drive sideways down the motorway at 70mph like some sort of bewheeled crab? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on special occasions. But the latest version of her story was that she driving the car (I presume by Howstrake) and the wind was pushing it backwards towards a cliff. Yeah, right. She’s either dumb or a liar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the handbrake is crap. Or they were a pair of kids panicking in a stressful situation.

Ringy Rose Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Just now, HeliX said: Or the handbrake is crap. Or they were a pair of kids panicking in a stressful situation. But whatever the kids action or inaction, the police are a set of cunts for taking the piss publicly on FB. The police clearly thought it was a crank call and reacted accordingly. Wrong, as I said, especially the Darwin stuff. But understandable. And if that girl reacts like that to a bit of wind she’s a danger to every other road user on this island. Can we get her reg number to know to steer well clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cissolt Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 This isn't an isolated incident for the police on social media, the RPU is particularly condescending. Shows the true colours of some policeman and how they view the public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
