Hi All, Last Saturday night I was driving a friend to the railway station when a plod volvo passes in front of me as I came to a roundabout. I saw them slow down and look, then carry on. Ok, fine, I crossover said roundabout and turn off only to look in the mirror and see flashing blue lights right behind me. so I pulled over and got out to be told they stopped me for my tinted windows!

I was given a lecture on safety and told I was only being warned this time because he he didn't want get out of his car cos it was raining!

Ok, the tints were illegal (though not a heavy tint) and he was (almost) only doing his job, but to give a lecture on safety after havng thrashed his car to what must have three-figure speeds in pouring rain to make sure he caught me, well Hypocrosy? But the main thing is the local scumbags were free to carry on as per normal.

So now I don't have front window tints, but apparantly an unmarked police volovo round here does. If you have tinted windows,beware.
 
So your vehicle was illegal, you knew it was illegal, the police stopped you and let you off...and you're moaning about other people doing illegal things...

Hmm..there is some hypocracy there somewhere if only I knew where.....
 
If you feel so strongly about it, why not attend personally at his place of work and demand a ticket rather than a telling off. Also make a complaint that you were let off and not given a ticket and you can't abide favoritism and you want to join the local scumbags.
Was he not doing you a favour?
 
If I offered you a million pounds in cash but told you that it would have to be collected by you in person you would moan that you had to travel to get it? I dont think anyone could do you a favour and you would appreciate it. The guy was giving you a friendly warning and was trying to make you feel better by having a laugh about the weather. If you feel so bad about it, join the police or special constabulary and make a difference. Cry baby.
 
You could have been given a £60 fine and 3 point's and been made to remove the tint at the roadside! But luckily for you plod showed leniency. Why bitch about it if you knew your tint's were illegal:confused:

Plod don't have unmarked vehicles with tints, not allowed, plus your Volvo driver would be a class one driver. Plus remember plod cars have black boxes fitted,and they are accountable....... So if the wheels did come off, so to speak he could be in front of the beak gripping the bar..... Job losing stuff.
