why do traffic police think they know everything?

i got caught going througha "red" light. i say "red because it was acually orange and it was too dangerous to stop because of my proximity to the light-i wouldn't of been able to stop in time and i had traffic right up my backside. still according to the traffic pig who stopped me i would have been able to stop if i had been driving at the correct speed, but i was already well within the speed limit, and any slower and i wouldn't of been driving with the flow of the traffic. so thats a £60 fine and three points on my licence. compare that to the numerous examples of drug addicts going out beating an old granny to a pulp and then getting a caution and told not to do it again. where's the fairness? well this is my theory...the police are in the pay of the top drug dealers, so it is in their interests to keep as many drug addicts on the streets as possible, as that obviously means more money for the dealers and more for the filth who take a cut...but they still have to justify their existence to the politicians so they make their statistics look good by nicking easy targets like motorists. so everybody's happy...apart from if you're a law abiding citizen of the united kingdom.

well apart from that everythings fine apart from i have an infection in my foot from a blister. we've just moved in to the phase of our training when we're really starting to concentrate on 1500 meter specific work. last nights session for example was in two bits. an 800 meter rep then a 700 meter rep. then we had a lap jog recovery then 600, 500, 400 all off a 1:30 recovery period. the idea was that we were supposed to run the second half of the session faster than the first half, which i managed to do quite comfortably, 4:34 for the firts bit and 4:24 for the second meaning that i should hopefully be able to run somewhat faster than my pb pace in my next 1500 meter race. i have a more specific idea than that but i'm not going to say what it is though. the next challenge for me is to produce that form when it counts as i'm not going to be racing again for a while, probably the end of the month.
