robster Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 The police can pull you over at any time. The reason for that is, it is an offence for a person to not be able to produce their driving documents when requested to by a police officer. This seems to be silly as, who carries their docs in their car? If my car got nicked then the thieves have all the stuff they need to clone my car and ruin my life! Anyway, they normally give a producer which gives you seven days to show the docs at a police station.The point of it is to allow police to stop cars containing criminals. Most people aren't criminals but I can't remember the last time I heard of a drug dealer who uses public transport......There are of course, bad police drivers but be happy, if you are a copper and you get 6 points on your licence (on or off duty - and traffic cops love to book non traffic cops) then they can lose it! This is half the amount of points that us lot can get! They also can get disciplined, suspended and docked pay!There's my bit to say!

Please check the Road Traffic Act for the legislation surrounding driving document production.My example of the 6 points issue is the current status of one officer within a regional force that I know personally.Also, a brilliant example of making police officers look bad, "I could say that I smelt drugs".I was trying to be helpful, you were simply rude.
