Call me naive maybe, but i can't believe what was (if anything) a minor hiccup on the Sunday Stag cruise with what was (generally agreed) "friendly cops" has blown up into this. They (the cops) were damned if they did, damned if they didn't if you know what i mean, so instead of doing nothing at all and being labelled "useless", they cast a cautionary eye over all the cars. Yes it was a bit of a hassle, yes it delayed our start time, no they didn't have a hidden agenda, and lastly no it should not end SAU organised cruises. If this goes "underground" so to speak, sure it'll be "cooler" but all it does is shunt whatever co-operation SAPOL are trying to cultivate with the import car scene.
p.s. sorry about all the "quotes"
