Did you take their numbers in all that time?

I'd be straight round the cop shop to complain that their officers are not sufficiently trained to do the job we're paying them for.

Checking for baffle or spark arrester.

With most bikes I would think you have to go allot deeper than a pen to find a baffle. In fact I don't think most bikes have baffles, except maybe newer ones. I really don't think this is a valid test of anything.

I think it's a completely valid test of a policemans intelligence Laughing
