What was that on!
Maybe you're still at Leeds, with the scenery changing on the screens you think are windows!

That would be a downgrade!
I prefer the electric one. It's quieter and less smelly.

I reckon some officers get a bit carried away by the power that they have at their disposal, rather than using a bit more common sense. I don't know you Mr C, but if the story is how you say and someone starts getting aggressive and making threats etc. why should they suddenly turn their attention to you when its sounds like you haven't done anything wrong................apart from possess an extremely old mobile phone. Were you waving it around threatening people?
Here's an annoying run in I had with some West Mercia traffic officers a couple of years ago. As you know I go to work at stupid o'clock in the morning, but I am not breaking the law going about my lawful business.
An ANPR equipped car passes me going the other way, I am in a road legal car, sticking to the speed limit (I don't speed at silly early times). A couple of minutes later it has turned round and follows me for a couple of miles (at correct speed limit). Just as I am about to cross into West Midlands border they pull me over.
No problem I haven't done anything wrong, I am wearing my uniform got my photo id card, and permit to drive trains photo id card also.
They get me in their and car ask usual questions, name, address etc. Don't forget nowadays car ownership, mot etc are all electronically linked.
I answer everything, I am not bothered because I haven't done anything wrong, but on the console there is a small tv screen with a picture of a black car saying Audi, with a registration and the word 'HIT'. My car is not an Audi by the way!!
He then says the system says you haven't got insurance, and decides to give me a note to produce insurance documents at police station. I know I have got insurance, so I am not that bothered just p****d off that they are messing me about.
I got to work and one of our guards is a retired West Mids officer and I was telling him the story, to which he said if you did not have insurance they would not let you continue as if you had an accident and injured someone then they would also be in it for allowing you to continue without insurance.
He reckoned they just did that so at the end of the shift it would show they had been active during their patrol and it would keep their superiors off their backs.
If this behaviour was correct all they have done is annoyed someone that is law abiding and was going about his lawful business legally.
It's hardly surprising that people don't always trust them.
