The Police II
Enzyme asks: Have you ever been arrested? Been thrown down the stairs by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with hi-LAR-ious consequences? Or maybe you're a member of the police force with chortlesome anecdotes about particularly stupid people you've encountered.
Do tell.

More Airport police
At the Airport there was a set down area in front set aside solely for buses and taxis. Public prevented from driving down there also and any that managed and parked there got clamped straight.
Well, one day an ambulance comes screaming in for a lady in cardiac arrest. They sprinted in and minutes later came out to find, yes, the ambulance clamped...

"Just doing my job, mate."
Probably not actual cops, though - more airport rent-a-jobsworths.

I had a similar experience...
...my ambulance didn't get clamped at the airport, but the wannabe policeman (airport security guard) demanded to have me and my partner frisked and our drug kits etc searched before they would let us in the departure lounge for a patient in cardiac arrest. "No problem" I replied and I then asked him his name. He wanted to know why and I told him that I'd be sure to mention him by name to the coroner if the patient died.
He let us in real quick after that and we managed to save the patient.

HappenS...
...too often to comment sadly. Have had similar experience to my Antipodean friend Mr Emadex except it was at a railway station in "That London". I was filling out some paperwork after a non-conveyed when a plastic policemen (PCSO) came up and demanded to know what I was doing or he would issue me a ticket for loitering...
....in a large yellow 4 tonne van with LONDON AMBULANCE SERVICE written down the side.

Undercovercarrot...
...we never have problems with the *real* police when I'm attending a case. But we are fortunate in not having PCSO's in the state I live in.
The closest thing is the Aboriginal Community Liaison Officers. They wear the same police uniform (but with yellow epaulettes) and they don't have full police powers.
They are generally good guys doing an often difficult role.
