Sad thing is, you'll probably find that some politically correct do-gooder has had copper suspended for inapprpriate behaviour   :doh:

Actually, if its who I think it is, he's been promoted and is now the Insp. in charge of the Road Policing Unit !

Many years ago coming home from Aldershot and passing the  Farnborough Air Show, there were the Rozzers directing traffic armed with water pistols, not quite as good as Manx constabulary and if done now the armed response units would take a very dim view. Oh, how I miss the good old days of innocent fun. :(

While we are talking about police I thought I would share this video. The clip is from a kids TV show from a few years back. The PO was patrolman Owen Dacey, one of St. Louis PD's finest. He not only handled traffic at one of the city's most difficult intersections, he added a bit of entertainment while doing so. The intersection was very busy due to the entrances and exits of Interstate 70 Hwy. along with the traffic on East Grand and Broadway.  The street names were changed for the TV show. Sadly Officer Dacey passed away in late 2009.

Two true tales about the Police in the UK......

Tale 1 - In 1971 I was riding a 500cc 1936 Rudge Ulster to work.  This bike had NO silencers (two pipes), the open pipes ended at the rear wheel spindle.  It sounded wonderful.  Approaching a junction where there was a Policeman on points duty, he stopped all other traffic and waved me through indicating that I should go faster.  This happened every day for a week, until the traffic lights were working!!

Tale 2 - In 1974 whilst running in my recently rebuilt Norton 650SS on a run somewhere near Guildford I came up behind a Policeman on his Norton Interplod.  It was at the time of a countrywide 50mph speed limit.  He was doing about 70 to 75 mph.  I tucked in behind him....at a safe distance!!  We were pretty much nose to tail for about 20 miles at speeds up to about 80mph.  Eventually he turned off with a cheerful thumbs up and a wave!!

cheers
