well, to all you out there i'd take down the cop's badge number & name and report the incident to the police obudsman. If enough of you complain after a while they will get the message that they are actually not in the right.
I've had my share when i was younger and i almost took one matter to court, spoke with the local magistrate (friend's dad) who agreed with me that what happened was a load of crap, ended up being cheaper to pay the fine. Its tough at times, and especially with the current government spending all the surplus, they have to raise revenue. Young drivers with hotted cars are good targets cos they think you've prob got abit of $$$ to pay with
Most cops you will find do not know the laws well enough & play on young drivers being just as ignorant.
I've tested some at the local police station before. Unless you take it to court its your word against theirs and yours doesn't mean jack.
