The PoliceSitting in my local pub late one night enjoying the landlord's flexible idea of what constitutes his licencing hours, a bunch of drunk blokes in raincoats burst in. Requesting to be served, one shouted at the barman "It's alright - we're not coppers!"
They were spitting images of Lt. Columbo to a man. The barman laughed them out of the pub.

Liverpool Police are aceIt's a long story but the crux of it is that several of us got caught short in Liverpool in the very early hours. We'd been to a Jesus and Mary Chain gig if it helps set the scene.
Being respecters of propriety and public property we chose our venue carefully and began pissing in earnest down a scuzzy alley behind Lime Street Station, a long way from any sort of beaten track.
Cue PC Scouser and his young apprentice, who had presumably marked us as likely lads and followed us.
It's 03.00, on a cold October night, and we're miles from any public highway, so when Young Apprentice asks "What would your mother say if she saw you" the whole lot of us, including PC Scouser, cracked up laughing.
The lad may subsequently have developed a better line of questioning although I sincerely doubt it.
