In which case his speedo will NOT have been calibrated.
Probably why you showing him that yours was shut him up.
As for the seat incident. Copper probably assumed that the kids were "in the boot" and didn't notice the seats till he pulled you. Many coppers WILL NOT admit they made a mistake, it's just the way some are. They eventualy decide to tick you off, even though no offence has been commited.
I recently had an officer from the met anti terrorist unit call a full armed stop on me (But by the time they got there I'd already pulled over for fuel) because my car looked like a police car. Not wanting to be too embarrased he (and his collegues) tried everything to get some sort of offence Even trying to do me for a small nick in the rim protector on my tyres, till I pointed out to them that the rim protector was not technically the sidewall. In the end they had to give up and admit that no offence had been comitted.
At one point they were trying to tell me it was illegal to drive an ex-police car.
The funny bit was when the traffic lad told the anti terrorist plod that "it doesn't look like one of ours because we don't use Volvos."
The point being that if they make an obsevation error you'll find that 9 times out of 10 they won't admit it.
And they wonder why the public don't trust them.
Joules,
I should imagine that is exactly what happened and why Cameron got fed a load of tosh!!
