Oh yes, we have to genuflect everytime we see a policeman/rozzer/scuffer/flatfoot/Polis/Popo.
I take the view that the police are only our servants and not our masters.
I once got stopped by a particularly unpleasant police officer. He showed nothing but ignorance and rudeness towards me, it cost him his job in the end. I still see him around town and remind him of the fact.
What am I supposed to do when I have a motorcycle stolen, track it down myself to the local travellers site and police refuse to retrieve it as the 'traveller liason' officer deemed it inappropriate to retrieve it? What should I have done, tugged my forlock and got down on my knees and humbly apologised for wasting their time?
