They could have been out catching criminals but oh no, they decided to spend their evening asking me questions such as, "Do you know what speed you were going back there?"<BR/><BR/>If they don't know that, what are they stopping me for?<BR/><BR/>The worst part is that I can no longer enjoy shows such as 'Police, Camera, Action'. It's hard to laugh at the misfortunes of the criminal underclasses when you're practically one of them. Thanks a lot, you fuckers.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
