Green Web Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have twice in the last week which i find a bit odd, I'm 34 have white skin drive an old mans car and live in BME area and on both occasions it was on London Road and the Police were checking I had car insurance. Before last week hardly ever even though I look less dodgy now than ever before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotPhil Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 They searched you while checking if you were insured? Sounds a bit OTT. What reason did they give for searching you? I thought they had to give you a reason(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 they don't have to give a reason. They usually do, but they don't have to. but they wouldn't have been stopping you to check your insurance without reason. They can do that from the car now it's all computerised. If they gave you a producer to bring your docs to a police station within 7 days, and you are insured, then maybe there's some glitch in the system in your case and even though you are insured, it's not showing up on the system for some reason. If that is the case, you'd better travel with your insurance details on you, because if you drive an old car you can expect to be stopped a lot.

That's not stop and search. That's stop and ask for car insurance. Stop and search is looking for drugs, weapons, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with your earlier post then: "Fruit is good but still doesn't help withdrawals, gonna try some cannabis later so that should help with sleep problems." "I have been ^ Still having trouble sleeping and feel off but feel less stressed than I did, this good skunk helps." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before last week hardly ever even though I look less dodgy now than ever before. Ive been stopped twice in the last year. First time the officer was clearly bored and so we went through the motions, name, address, inside leg, the usualy. The second time i refused to get out of the car, showed him my DL through the window, ignored his threats of arrest, pointed out he knows im insured and that im the registered keeper of my car and once hed finnished his strop i went home.
