* SMART ASS COPPERS *

Hi again - well I usually put site updates here but felt compelled to share something with you that happened to me last night while out cruizn !
BLOODY COPPERS !! LOL - I normally don't say too much about the boyz in blue cause like anyone there are good ones and bad ones BUT last night I was out in the WRX for those of you who know it would also know that it is quite eyecatching - ANYWAYZ went to a cruise over to Palm Beach and I won't say WHO WAS DRIVING LMAO but we got BOGGED on the beach in the sand !!!
Yes have your laugh LOL as I did too but we could not get out - and if not for the friendly local named "ANDREW" out driving his brand new Holden Astra then we would still be there !!
THANX HEAPS TO ANDREW for getting us out of that ummmmmmm sandy situation LOL - Thats H O L D E N POWER for you I guess !!
ANYWAYZ while we waited for Andrew to come back with his tow ropes etc the "GOOD OLD BOYS IN BLUE" decided to drop by and say gooday to Miss Calais and Co - (HOW NICE OF THEM I MUST SAY) BUT WAIT.........NOT to offer there assistance even though they were driving a HUGE BLOODY 4WD that would have got us out of there in 2 seconds oh NO !!!!!!!! ..........
They were there to "THREATEN US "!!
Okay so we ended up on the SAND at midnight - big deal it was like 6 feet away from the edge of the road and we were attempting a "U-TURN" and just simply mis-calculated thats all ! Could have happened to anyone !
BUT WHAT PISSED ME OFF is that we were very quiet -i.e. not revheads hooning around - and we were very POLITE to the officers -(purposely so not to get into any trouble etc) and one of the officers still had to check licenses and ALSO TALK IN SUCH A FU**EN RUDE AND PIGHEADED MANNER I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS HEARING AND THEN TO TOP IT ALL OFF THREATENED US THAT " IF THERE WAS A TINY SPEC OF OIL LEFT ON THAT SAND THAT HE WOULD BE KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR FIRST THING THE NEXT DAY AND THROWING THE BOOK AT US !!"
To be honest I was used to all this pigheaded treatment when I was with my EX HUSBAND who was LEBONESE but he had a BAD name and reputation around cops so it was expected BUT NOT THIS time and by all means we were on our BEST behaviour and SO SO SO POLITE it made me sick !
The LAST thing we wanted was ANY trouble from COPS particularly in another area like Palm Beach AND AS IF A 2 year old WRX is gonna be leaking OIL ANYWAY ! CALL ME STUPID but you would have some serious issues if it had even the smallest of oil leaks !!

Okay I have had my WHINGE now and feel much better for sharing it with alol of you BUT seriously do ANY of you AGREE with me when I say haven't they got anything better to do ???????????????????
I have a couple of mates that are cops and Detectives and mate they put up with this shit all the time from there colleagues and it gives them a BAD rap too and they are so jack shit sick of it all - so I see it from 2 different views - US car enthusiasts that continually get harassed for nothing and the other cops that have to put up with WANKERS LIKE THIS !!!!!!!
And the Government wonders why the GOOD ones (however few of them are left) are either turning CRIMINAL or leaving the force and getting into SECURITY or something else - UNFU**ING BELIEVABLE!!!!

BY THE WAY we got out okay thanx to Andrew, there was no damage to the car apart from a hell of a lot of sand in the car BUT I managed to take a quick photo LOL and will post it as soon as it is developed !

Let me know what you think via email or the guest book !
Thanx and Cheers !
