I had the most bizzare experience with the police today.

I was driving towards home along the dual carriage way and had to stop at some traffic lights. A police car was in front of me. Before all this, I saw ‘blue lights’ racing up behind me, I pulled over as you do, to let them past. Anyway, driving down the road after the traffic lights, I indicated to turn into my street, they then indicated and turned in. I thought nothing of it and continued. As I approach the house, I indicated, they then indicated and pulled across the driveway blocking my path.

I sat there for a minute and thought about getting out of the car and asking them if they didn’t mind moving so I could pull up onto the driveway, then I noticed there was a big enough gap to get the car though, so I swung the car ’round the front of them onto the drive. One of the officers face was a picture as if to say, “what the hell?”, I was half expecting one of them to get out of their car and come over and knock on my window.

So I sat in the car for a minute, waited for one of them to get out of their car and walk over, nothing happened. I then picked up my phone, switched off my handsfree kit for the phone and got of of the car. I then opened the back door and collected my laptop and closed the door.

I stood there looking at them for about 10 seconds as if to say “what?”, I then locked the car and went indoors. Literately seconds of me entering the house, they drove off.

I know I did nothing wrong, I know there is nothing wrong with my car, I know I’m fully taxed, MOT’ed and insured. So what were these officers doing? Personally I think they were purely wasting time waiting for me to make a mistake.

Sorry officer, but shouldn’t you be looking for real criminals?

Update: It could be possible that the police were doing a PNC check on my car, so as soon as I pulled up onto the drive, got out of my car and entered the house, the realised the address matched the registered car address and drove away. Go figure?
