RoadworkUK Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Hypothetically, of course. Or even Hyper-Pathetically. Could I assemble a group of cars and drivers to patrol the motorway network in convoy, who could then form a rolling roadblock to obstruct and allow performance of a citizens arrest on any errant OFFICERS OF THE LAW WHO THINK THEY CAN DO ANY SPEED THEY LIKE BECAUSE THEY'RE UNTOUCHABLE?
Formula Autos Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 In a word, NO. This would no doubt be construed as obstructing the police in the course of their duties. Or somesuch. Also, if they're speeding, how can you catch them without breaking the speed limit yourself? Organising a roadblock would also probably involve several mobile phone calls. Non-handsfree is, of course, illegal. Either that, or CB radios would be needed. Basically you'd need something like the resources of the, errr, errrm, (mumbles)Police.
dollywobbler Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 I think there are rather larger things to worry about. Just be glad the Police here don't lock us up and torture us like they did in Egypt!
Cavcraft Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 How would you ever prove the copper was not on his way to a job somewhere? Even though you'd probably know they weren't you'd be up against a fucking big organisation and I wouldn't fancy their chances. You'd probably be surrounded by armed rousers within minutes of attempting the manouvre too.
RoadworkUK Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Yes, you're all right. Terrible idea. Please could a mod delete this whole pointless thread? I started it in a spasm of anguish, and rather shouldn't. Sorry!
Lankytim Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Speeding isn't an arrest-able offence anyway (maybe if you are doing 200 MPH or something though)
Mr H Sceptre Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Well, we could always give it a try. I'll obviously take a 'hands-off' supervisory role.....
Formula Autos Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 It could be the basis of a TV series, this. One man, cruising round the roads of Britain, fighting crime and righting wrongs. This latter day Lone Ranger would be ably assisted by his car with a talking dashboard. I give you Shite Rider:Here is Michael Shite, with his trusty sidekick SHITT. Tuesdays at 8pm on Dave.
dollywobbler Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 "Michael, I'm sure I'm only running on three cylinders. Cough. Splutter.""Come on SHITT, sort it out! It's meant to be an automatic choke! And stop telling me off for not wearing my seatbelt."
warren t claim Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Just be glad the Police here don't lock us up and torture us like they did in Egypt! I take it you've never had a night out in Birkenhead then?
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 SHITT splutters to a halt once again, its engine knocking and smoking."SHITT, your engine is knackered! Why didn't you tell me?""Michael, this flashing red light isn't a visual representation of my voice, it's my fucking oil light"
RoadworkUK Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 "Oil Pressure Low" Plus a background noise of gentle rusting and Austin-Rover reversing down a stylistic cul-de-sac. Genius. Anyoe got a black VDP or MG 2.0?
