Why wont we like a police officer..

What type of police are you ?

People just don't tend to like Police for obvious reasons, I'm still doing my probation at the moment (which is two years long) after next year I will be able to specialise in what i want which is ARV.

It's only traffic enforcement we have a problem with :D lols

Off the topic sorry but:
Rubbish...lol

the police are ACE and they do a CORKER JOB....especially the traffic police...

IMO: this unfortunate stereotype comes from a combination of a proportion of idiodts that burn up speed restictions (mainly 30 Zones) showing off on testoterone overdoses etc and are miffed cos they get shafted and small minority of officers who are snotty/arragant/impolite/power-trip when they do a stop (and thats a human/personnallity thing...not a police thing. In my experience MOST officers are ROLE MODDELS

Im a student bum (not really a living).

there's no such thing as a 'student bum' unless it all goes to waste

dig in and you be glad of it in the end :)

Road Safety Engineer....... saving lives on a daily basis (or that's what we tell ourselves!)

i used to be a nissan technician - a tip for all you apprentice mechanics, infact mechanics aswell. get out now before it's too late. the money is always going to be crap. unless you're one of the really lucky ones.
i work at the toyota factory in derby, building the avensis. been there 5 and half years now. god that's gone fast! and i'm earning over double what i was getting at a franchised nissan garage.
