I'd go as far as to say they avoid stopping Brits. I've certainly been directed back into the traffic flow on more than one occasion when they seemed to be doing spot checks.
The A16/A25 from west of Boulogne to Dunkerque and be beyond tends to be a fairly well populated with Brits and not just those late for the ferry.
At time when tax or currency made beer/cigs cheaper in Belgium hi-tailing over the border and back while on a day return by ferry was a popular sport. The Belgians are not the world's best drivers so they'd probably be over represented too.
