Dont know of anyone who has a good word to say about them. They think they are above the law to some extent and that they are judge and jury. I have to deal with them on a regular basis in the course of work and I find most of them exteremly arrogant and ignorant. I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to help them and the soner they are taken down a peg or two the better but it aint likely to happen. I hope you can nail the prick Ray and maybe it'll make one or two of them pull their horns in abit but I doubt it it. More than likely make you a target for his mates. I'm seriously considering going back to the Uk. I love this country and especially its people but its becoming so stifiling in regards to ridiculous laws, beaurocracy and taxes. Having a long hard think about it.Grass is always greener matey, went home to visit in July, hired a GS1200 to tour Scotland, took it easy, enjoyed the view, got stopped 3 times in 6 days, each time for a completely made up reason. Got followed for nearly 100 miles at one point, and in the middle of nowhere, thats a scary thing for a girl - god knows what would have happened if i had actually been doing something illegal. However, I've met some brilliant coppers too, in many countries, they just fade to grey next to the power trippers. Don't go home, it rains and everybody sports faces like farts.
