Pullover

Police pull over a blue soft top BMW at the bus stop in Wood Green High Street. Two of them emerge from their van and get the driver out. They stand talking to him for bit pointing at the back of his car. He stands between them with his arms crossed.

A third policeman gets out of the van and inspects the front end of the BMW, while one of his colleagues inpsects the back - pulling at the boot, touching the numberplate it comes off in his hand. It seems to have been attached with double-sided sticky tape (the back dotted with suspicious looking white squares).

One of the policemen starts writing out a ticket. The one with the numberplate rocks back and forth on his feet the way policemen are prone to do.

It starts to rain. They wind it up. When the blue car drives off it doesn't have a numberplate on the front or the back. It goes left. The police van follows it.
