Police are bullies -_-

Owned 2 Saxo's and over the course of about a year i've been pulled over around 4 times. 2 Being justified 2 being completely pointless. Was driving home around 10pm and came up off a roundabout completely normal, Audi RS4 Estate marked police car coming the other way, thought nothing of it, 5 minutes later about 2 miles down the road a pair of headlights comes flying up behind me atleast 90mph, sits off my bumper then turns on the blue lights. Claimed i'd been booting it all the way home at about 60-70mph when i'd been doing 45mph in a 40 limit. Tryed to explain that he hasn't even been behind me till the previous 30 seconds and he just started kicking off, didn't even give me a chance to explain my side of the story, threatened me with a section 59 then eventually went on his way.

Don't get me wrong but surley for a marked police car to be doing 90mph+ in a 40 limit for atleast a mile before coming up behind me without his blue lights on is slightly illegal?

Feel free to prove me wrong but I'm sure they are allowed to speed if safe to do so if they are catching up with someone that they suspect are doing something illegal.

I would've thought they would atleast need to have the blue nights turned on though otherwise they are just like any other speeder, hit a pedestrian and they don't have a leg to stand on?
