UK, as the government keeps passing all these laws, there is only a hand full of people who can enforce them. Unfortunately, for law enforcement we have that job. Some of the laws on the books do make the honest person a criminal. I try to treat people the way I want to be treated. Now, I can't make every one happy when I contact them, but I do get my share of "Thank You". All we ask, is put yourself into our shoes, see what we see, and try to look at it through our eyes. I have a job to do, just like the grocery clerk, mailman, butcher, etc. It just that my job, takes me from being the nicest guy on the earth on one call to the meanest and nastiest person on the very next call.

If your breaking the law and it doesn't matter what law it is and your caught, own up to it and move on. Believe it, most of us don't take it personally, you can't or the job will eat you up. Lt.Dan

BlackandRedWarrior, Ouch, again, I have never seen it happening. I would guess that some one would need to report you or your books were really screwed up before they came looking in your fuel tank. Thanks for looking up the information.Lt.Dan

 

Well from that one article it looks like Big Brother and Little Sister are just showing up. Looks to be more like they are going after ag users. I think they use most of the red around here. Probably followed by the construction industry. We don't use much. Maybe 100gals a year if that much.
