Dateline August 1999: England.
Police (in England) have launched an investigation after claims that officers
played 'motorway snooker'.
The claims - implying cars are stopped in the same order as colours are
potted in a game of snooker - have triggered an internal enquiry within Devon
and Cornwall Police after an officer allegedly admitted the game was played
by its' traffic division.
Motorist John Emslie, 44, was pulled over while driving his yellow Alfa Romeo
for speeding on the M5. He claimed when he asked why he had been singled out,
the officer told him the game was played on that stretch by traffic officers
trying to amuse themselves.
