    Yes they do - but try to disprove their speeding.

    My son lives at the start of a 70km area, and he stood on the side of the road chatting to a mate who was leaving, and the police cars flew past him, only inches away from him, at such a speed, but when he mentioned this to a cop who went into his work, he kinda just pushed it aside. So at the end of the day, they have rules for them, and rules for us

    The legalities have little to with it; they do as they please and if anyone questions what they're up to they lie to cover their arses. If that doesn't work they get a higher authority to lie for them.

    No. They had already abandoned the pursuit a minute earlier.

    It depends whether or not they are chauffering the Chairman of the Council of Ministers to a flight for a rugby game.

    A policeman wouldn't exceed the posted speed limit. That's where the accidents are happening, sir.
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    Easy enough to make your or laser radar to get their true speed. There is nothing special about them (the radars the police use) nothing what so ever if anything what they use is very old technology... parts can be bought from DSE

    or make a beam that when broken starts the clock then a second at a set distance to stop the clock speed is...

    simple enough to do...

    I like the ongoing debate that was on the TM messageboards about whether a cop had to wearing his hat to give you a ticket.

    It went on for ages - "If he's not wearing his hat, the ticket is void"

    T'was awesome.

    you mean there are people dumb enough to accept tickets from cops who aren't wearing their hats!

    Come on. You are better to just accept the ticket and fight it in court.
    Make sure you take a photo of him or her on your phone so you have proof.
    If you say anything there and then he'll just go get his hat and you're fucked.

    Raise one of your trousers and make a quack noise, and you'll be sweet

    yeh good point, but if he tries to give you a ticket without his hat you can just drive off anyway I think.

    Ok, well what if he's wearing his hat a jaunty angle. As well, he's got a stripy shirt on, a string of garlic hanging around his nect and an unlit cigarette hanging from the side of his mouth.

    Do you have to accept a ticket from the French-sterotype cop?
