Good follow up ... my thanks
My grateful thanks to our local police inspector for going well beyond the call of duty in explaining some of the law and the Wiltshire police policy in applying it with regard to the incident I reported here the other week. I've added an update quoting many of his words. I appreciate that the police have an important safety role to play in preventing people from driving if they have been drinking, and that they have been given a legal right to stop and talk to any motorist on the road without needing to have any suspicion. But I can tell you that the manner in which they exercised their powers, even after they knew that I hadn't been drinking, may have been legal but did no good to police relations. Nor did it help save a single accident, injury or worse. Of course, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs ...
