This is a question The Police II

Enzyme asks: Have you ever been arrested? Been thrown down the stairs by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with hi-LAR-ious consequences? Or maybe you're a member of the police force with chortlesome anecdotes about particularly stupid people you've encountered.
Do tell.

Ooh...terrifying...
Not long after I'd past my driving test and was still a nervous 17 year old novice, I was pulled over by a police car for 'driving erratically' (I had a bloody police car following me, I was nervous!). The male and female police came up to me and got me out of the car, demanding to know if it was my car (no, it was my Mum's) if I'd been drinking (no, it was 11.30AM and I hadn't reached that point in my life yet) and if I had any drugs in the vehicle (again, no).

I gave my honest answers and assumed that would be that. But it didn't seem to satisfy the very young, even to my 17 year old eyes, looking male officer, because he leant in close, stared me down and whispered menacingly...'you better not be lying to me, because if you have any drugs...' then suddenly shouting 'I'LL RIP THIS GODDAM CAR APART UNTIL I FIND THEM'.

It may have been more effective if his older female colleague hadn't then burst out laughing at him. She didn't even try to hide it, just started laughing long and hard and staring at him.

He went red faced, muttered something like 'very well, you can be on your way this time' and as he skulked back to the car staring at the floor and, I swear, I am sure I heard her say 'God, you're a prick'.

As a 37 year old man
as opposed to the 17 year old boy that I was, I think I'd just laugh now too.

I don't think that'd work
It wasn't an independent policeman, he had a partner with him.

Probably need something like www.ppcc.gov.uk but their site seems to be down at the moment
