I wasn't, any of the times - I accelerate fairly (but not overly) quick from a standing start to the speed limit, at that has been enough to get stopped each time. Even *if* I accelerated hard until I hit the limit, at no time am I ever going any faster than a person driving within the limit, who didn't hit a red light/etc. It's the reason it annoys me more than being stopped for breaking the law or even being a dick - I've always took my punishment on the chin, and never have made any excuses nor whined when getting caught for my various offences I've actually committed, even way back 20 years ago. To get stopped because some egotistic cunt in a uniform with a wonder woman belt on 'thinks' you 'may' be going too fast is BS no matter how you dress it up, and I'll act a fucking dick every time it happens, just to piss them off. Petty, yes, but meh, my own ego kicks in and that's how it is.

No idea what the story about someone else had to do with my quote, or why you're telling me, but I stand by it - all old bill are power tripping fucksticks. Yes, we need them, of course we do, because they are the ones with the tools to do the job of catching criminals, but don't tell me ANY copper is some kind of nice guy - they are all, without exception, the opposite once they put on that uniform, and that goes for my personal friends in the force too.
