Not an excuse to the police as such, but an interesting incident of stupidity by a friend of mine.
He lives in a fairly rural area and was driving on some b roads on his way back from a night out, and driving down a country lane he saw some flashing lights behind him from an unmarked car. He pulled over on an unlit road, and was approached by a 'police officer' and was asked where he'd been, where he was heading, and if he'd been drinking. Apparently, the 'officer' didn't have a breathaliser unit with him so asked my mate "breathe on me" to smell the alcohol on his breath
He deemed he'd drunk too much to drive, and asked for his keys off of him, and told him to collect the keys and car from the police station the next morning. Now that clearly wasn't a police officer, and he was in disbelief when we pissed ourselves laughing at him, and told him he'd basically been robbed, but funnily enough the keys were in fact handed in to the police the next day.
