You dont know my wife mate.
She has had a fair amount of past dealings with Police and there would
be more chance of crapping in the queens handbag than her saying sorry
to a Policeboy.

Also, I only ranted this cos in 8 yrs Ive been stopped 2 times and was
rather pissed at it being on my birthday.
Also I wanted to vent at the fact we have to carry ID at all and also
getting stopped based solely on my race.
Its just a shock to be treated like this, it was a new experience and
I have learnt a valid lesson. Carry your ID with you.
Thanks for all your heart warming replies.
