Pulled for driving a defender in s yorks

On my way to Whitby fishing Saturday the 11 jan in my defender, about 4 am, just coming into selby on one of the roundabouts was a parked police car, said to the lads, watch this he's going to pull me, sure enough he did.
Happy enough though as they stoped me to check it wasn't stolen, they had just recovered a stolen defender that night, anyone on here?

Similar thing happened to me on the way to work just before Christmas , at about 5.30 am. I didn't mind either.

I told them they should stop any defender out and about between midnight and 6.00 am.

Looks like the police are doing what they're supposed to do for a change.

Police in wiltshire and Avon &somerset are pulling all L/R's after 10-11pm around here, stopped a few times but fine with that, a rash of thefts around here, 3 in one weekend.

agree,
the old addage of,
If yo `aint done nothing wrong,
then you have nothing to worry about.

ANPR cams built into police cars alert them "if" theres something wrong with your vehicle, but the late night checks may not have been reported as stolen, so, yes, be nice, you know it makes sence.

(more so if you have any non standard modifications that may be questionable to your insurance companies)............ eh

Just asked me my name so guess everything was on the anpr system, happy enough I was stopped as it shows they are aware and active in keeping our defenders in the right hands

Got pulled over in Gloucester a few days ago,

Partly because I had a brake light out, but they where checking to see if it was stolen,

This did happen at 3am so I don't blame them, quite apologetic about it to

hopefully they will keep this up, its good to hear that they are supporting us!

+1

Myself and BoB spent a few weeks on the plod forums asking em to pull over landys due to the rise in the number of thefts. A few said they would but the rest of em weren't bovered.

It is what they are paid to do!
