pistonbroke Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 it was sometime in the 70's I'm enjoying a spirited drive home down country lanes , its late , around 2AM . I arrive outside the family home followed by Zcars in his Anglia who had been parked up just outside the village and had followed me . He approaches my car , I wind down the window. Good evening officer . What's all the two wheels round corners stuff . who me ? Yes YOU, I heard you coming 1/2 a mile away Ah you must mean that bend i missjuged back there . I see , where do you live Here , pointing to my house How long have you lived there about 5 years 5 years and you dont know that bend , pull the other one its got bells on . Are you the owner of the car . No its a company car . I see and do you have permission to drive it at night ( 2 am ) Yes i do OK I want to see your licence and log book and what is that you have in the back ? Its a Bass Fiddle Bass Fiddle , (in a much lighter tone ) I play bass guitar You do ! Always fancied a go on one of those what are they like to play Why not try it out Dont mind if I do There followed an impromtu musical interlude , I demonstrated with Big noise from Winetka , air on G string etc . he had a "Go" we said our goodbye's , he went to leave , the Anglia wouldnt start , he asked me for a push start . I heaved a sigh of relief and off to bed Often wonder what the outcome would have been today given the same circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echoz Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Talking to the public no matter what the context (Prosecuting/ticket/advice or just being friendly) is the role of a Police Officer - so they were doing what they get paid for. A Police Officer's time can not be evaluated - by their presence they may be preventing a crime happening - who knows? By talking to a member of the public and building a 'relationship' using a 'common denominator' you may change the attitude of that person so they are more likely to act as a witness in the future - who knows? So 'having a friendly chat' isn't 'skiving' or wasting the Tax payers money - it is what they are paid to do. Long before it was the norm that Officers patrolled in vehicles, the foot patrol officer spent most of his time just having friendly chats with his community and found out so much information from it - sadly those days have gone and the Police/community is a lot worse off for it. also this is on the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
