You know, playing a cop is actually pretty fun, so no wonder they enjoy using their power. We had a little fun in the army with the guys from the Military Police pulling people over. Our Leopard was malfunctioning (again, later someone realized that somehow water had gotten into the fuel tank), and we stopped it next to a public road and - as most of the time in the Finnish army - we were so damn bored, so we decided to have a little fun with the civilians. The MP's sat on our tank and waved the stop sign, which was effective. ( No need for a 2nd car if you have a tank.
) Too bad we didin't have a breathalyzer as it was not really official, so they just checked their licenses. But it was great fun to get people humble.
