I've just been stopped (by a policeman) whilst in a life-threatening situation.
Crossing a road (in London), a police car (red - not white, so...) swerved round the corner in front of me from the road he was travelling on onto my road, stopped in front of me when I was half-way across (a dangerous place to stop), and wound down his window (while in charge of his motor-vehicle).
"There's a red light, that means you shouldn't cross." (Very aggressive-like.)
"But you didn't have your indicator showing." (Calm.)
"A red light means don't cross." (Really aggressive now.)
"But you need a licence to be on a road." (Not the correct response, but I had to fight the agression somehow.)
He sped off at huge speddedness.
When the hell wasn't I allowed by law to cross a road? Who do these fucks think they are? This was near New Scotland Yard incidentally, around which there are strange people with scary lethal weapons wandering. Why don't the police just fuck the hell off? They really are a load of self-fulfilling fucks under nobody's jurisdiction; certainly not the public's. This country is shite for me.
How long before I'm shot? Where is the resistance to this shite?
The thing that should not be.

Good for you for staying so calm. You had the situation right.
Keep resisting.
Outside Leeds station there are signs directed to pedestrians saying "Do not cross here". My response? Look both ways and cross briskly to no-one's inconvenience or danger.
Pedestrianism is our common denominator. Once we succumb to regulation by lights and signs etc. we've lost it big time.
Oh, and another thing. Reading between the lines of Ken Jones' (ACPO chief's) recent comments re: G20, we're fortunate that our police don't make more use of water cannon, CS gas and baton rounds. Seems that in a parallel ACPO universe you'd have been shot, gassed or soaked through rather than been given an unjustifiable bollocking.
You've been let off lightly my lad.
Mind how you go.
