As I understand it, a police constable is never "off duty" -


Not so. snip a useful explanation

WRT stopping motor vehicles, motorists recognising a warrant
card
waved at them are not necessarily regarding it as a lawful
instruction
to stop etc. so much as a request for assistance.

Thanks - it would seem you are much better informed than I was. I
consider myself corrected.
