Another thread reminded me of this one.
Some time ago I received information that a chap was commiting [naughty offence] so I stopped him to account for his actions. Everything checked out and we sent him on his merry way, all in all we took up 13 minutes of his time (stop and account forms are ace for accuracy!).
He later writes in a letter complaining about his stop. He specifically mentions that we were polite and that we were only doing our jobs but that we stopped him for 35 minutes.
Cue an investigation by Professional Standards, an interview with a Sgt, and a 6 month wait which culminated in said Sgt stating that there was no complaint to answer but it would be shown as a "Locally Resolved" complaint on our personell files (???).
Nice to know that although we were nastilly oppressing him we were being polite about it!
