To be a cop you must hate the people you serve he’s a prize fool

Modern police love to mess with law abiding people. Real criminals might give them a dig -- or scarier still, might give them a tail home after work. Best to avoid those people at all costs. Notice how fast he responded to the allegation he might be picking on minorities? Best to stick to law abiding middle aged white men. That'll get him a commendation, for sure. They're probably gammon and prone to hate speech so give them a tug, just in case.

Yeah, respect to those real police men.

cheers nev ;-)

As a lifelong biker, 49 years in the saddle I can say this is not uncommon and have many stories of being bullied by dodgy policemen but my advice to anyone is don't argue with them just accept they are a stain on what is otherwise a very noble and honourable profession, ride safe.

So, police officers are like bikers. There’s a small minority fuck it up for the majority. A bit like society as a whole, really. 🤔

Well said sir.

Well said mate.

he's the perfect example of a person who was bullied at school and thought he'd become a a police officer just for the power trip

If a vehicle is hogging the outside lane and going below the speed limit, it’s not undertaking if you pass them on the inside lane if you didn’t specifically switch to that lane to pass them

I had one do that to me once on the A55 on my home from Anglesey. He nearly ran me into the back of a truck as i was going through the newly opened Conwy tunnel. He blocked my overtake by plulling along side as I was a Preparing to pull across to outside lane (truck doing about 50-55) he effectively stalled me in the inside lane behind the truck. The sort of behaviour you'd expect from boy racers on a Saturday night. Not a police officer. He never pulled me over, but seemed to be on a power trip of some sort. Utter psychopath.

No such traffic offence as undertaking .... as stated by a traffic police officer running the bike safe course I was on...... you should just have carried on in your lane and overtake the police obviously not exceeding the speed limit

There are NOT blanket 20 mph speed limits in towns. Not in the towns I know of around here!!

I live in Ontario Canada, where we no longer have tax discs. The tag, as they were known, used to be stuck to the back number plate. HOWEVER, Ontario bikers are now being pulled over by State Troopers, in the US as they expect to see the tag. I understand this as the scanners simply tell the cop of an infraction. Most of the time, the serial criminal is let go, but some are being cited, which leads to an enormous waste of time, as if you enter the US with this hanging over your gas tank, you are in a world of hurt. This is called progress

Are they on some form of commission these days. More faults more bonus.

The police are trained to take charge in all situations unfortunately the interpretation of this can turn them into arrogant idiots and they won’t back down when challenged by intelligence.

This will go on a bit so I apologise in advance but anyway, about 20 years ago I bought a Honda fireblade which was damaged so instead of fitting new lights so I just fitted cheap race fairings. Because there were no front lights on the bike it had a "daytime only mot" which was fine for riding in the summer and track days. One Sunday evening I was riding home when I was stopped by two members of the Norfolk cunstabulary. They stopped me for not having a headlight, my response was obviously "it's not dark" they tried to tell me that it was a legal requirement to have a headlight so I asked them how it passed an mot? They got increasingly mouthy and refused to accept that the bike was perfectly legal and eventually decided to get vosa. By the time vosa got there it was dusk, the guy had a quick look around the bike and said it was fine, the copper even tried to argue with him but eventually had to admit defeat. At this point it was dark, I had no phone signal and I was 20 miles from home so I asked plod what They were going to do about getting me and my bike home and they just shrugged and said it wasn't up to them to get me home! I remembered passing a house about 500 yards back down the road so I pushed the bike down a pitch black country lane and onto the drive, I knocked on the door not knowing what sort of reception I was going to get but the lady of the house answered the door and immediately invited me in. I relayed what had happened to her husband and while I used their phone to call my wife, who by this time assumed I was dead, the guy emptied his van and we loaded my bike in it and he drove me home. On the journey he told me that they'd been burgled several times and police were completely uninterested, even accusing them of insurance fraud on one occasion. When we got to my house he helped me get the bike out, came inside for a cuppa and helped passify the missus them left refusing to take a penny from me, not even to cover his diesel. I already knew what the police were and nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

@@baldrick574 Was the rider going too slow?

They all are lol.

They should simply have not accepted the caution. Because they did, they made his ridiculous on-the-spot prosecution easy for him. If they declined to accept guilt and thus the caution (no, it isn't a rap across the knuckles and getting away with it), then there's a good chance, based on how ludicrously trivial the alleged offence was, that it would have been thrown out as not in the public interest to go to court and if it did, there's a reasonable chance of being found not guilty (mindful the video isn't very clear on what was actually claimed to be unlawful, apart from claimed lack of maker and safety markings on the plate).

I thought it was amusing that his colleague's thought he was a Muppet too!

Coming out of inverness in winter a god awful blizzard came down from the hills . I was leaning 30 degrees into the wind on a totally snow covered road with nowhere to pull over and very dangerous lorries overtaking if they could see me at all . Anyway a police landrover came up behind and kept to the middle of the road to prevent anyone overtaking until i got off the high ground and out of the storm ...brilliant work . I have also seen them deal with some very difficult domestic issues , and quite a few post accident first responder ..not nice at all . I have a the dick guy dipping me for red diesil and clearly desperate to find a fault . Once doing 63 on a 125 i was stopped ..i was no way !..they were fine as they said most 125 they saw here are stolen off to N Ireland . During covid restrictions i was stopped twice and my journey questioned .

Even they don't like him. He must be a right dick. I'd like to know what his police nickname is, because he so has to have one.

@@davet2555 Indeed. Police officers should be held personally financially liable for any compensation claims arising from abusing their power and the law. They should also be required to hold insurance for such payouts. If it gets to the point they have too many upheld claims made against them, they will be uninsurable and forced out of the job (and quite rightly so). But it will never happen, because politicians simply do not care.

They won't touch farmers because they know dissent will spread like wildfire and come back to haunt them. I see farmers every day, several times a day, on their phones whilst driving (they are hardly ever off them), towing trailers with either no number plate, obscured tractor plates or plates that don't match the tractor. The police never, ever pull them over. But if you don't have the microscopic maker and safety declaration on an otherwise perfect plate on your bike, well, Lord help you!

The 'trailer' that passed on camera was trailed machinery and doesn't need a number plate as it would be impractical in use.

They were likely driven by locals who he knows

I had a similar stop. Thought my 250 was "too small for the motorway", even though I was cruising at a steady 65mph. Just fishing.

I also take a similar route (Watford to Kingston) I have never had an issue and they seem to have so many officers along the way. I ride a supermoto which to be honest I would pull over. Perhaps their attitude has changed in recent years.

I was the duty police helicopter pilot one night... Off shift at 0300 and a 30 minute drive through rural lanes to get home.. as I went round a particular dodgy bend a police car going the other way and way to fast near shoved me in a hedgerow! I just knew he was going to turn round and pull me in order to save face but before he did I booted it down the road with a grin! He caught me 15 minutes later and he must have been going like the clappers! I was just over a brow of a hill, slowed to a potter and watched him fly over the top and jam on the anchors... blue lights on and I was stopped - we had a little conversation and I was invited out of the car for a breath test because he could smell alcohol - as I did so, dressed in my flying suit, police wings and unit badges I happened to ask whether he'd been on my last job which was a motorbike pursuit.. Click! that was the breath tester case being snapped shut! he warned me to slow down on the bends got into his car and left! what a chump.

I remember cycling down The Mall under Admiralty Arch turning left through the lights to go up Cockspur Street. This was the 90s when I lived in Victoria and cycled in the evenings after work in lycra. Anyway, as I was going through the lights I saw a police van the other side and as I made my way up Cockspur Street, I heard it put on its sirens behind me. I was surprised when it pulled over in from of me and made me brake hard. Officer jumped out and accused me of going through a red. I said "No, no, no! You had a red officer, because you were coming from Northumberland Avenue and that is how those lights work. Stand here and observe. See all those cars coming around from Admiralty Arch and those cars stopped where you were. Do you understand now? Good." No apology, nothing, he just got back in his van. Presumably before I could identify him.

In South Australia, just outside the then police HQ in Franklin Street in Adelaide, a slow moving police car on the side of the road threw a u-turn and knocked a rider off his scooter. "DIDN'T YOU SEE MY INDICATOR" he screamed, and wrote some fabricated tickets for the rider. Poor old plod was a bit thick - he didn't "see" the CAMERA mounted to the riders helmet. He hadn't indicated, he'd simply swerved across the road and knocked a rider down (physical contact -> collision), then trumped up some tickets. When the video made it to media, the tickets were withdrawn, and the officer "suspended" until further notice. On full pay. On OUR TAX $$$$.

Thank you for watching.

He’s safe in his traffic role so it requires a pedant scared of dangerous police work to do it.

If a policeman isn’t a murderer, how on earth does that qualify him to charge a real murderer. Do you realise how absolutely insane your argument is?

Let them know we have total contempt for them too. TOTAL

That's not true, on the video you saw specialised rake machine it doesn't obscure the tractor plate so there is no requirement for it to have a plate on. It would be impractical to mount on tines that can move round anyway.

the reason they do that is because of the cameras. They all try it when they've got nothing else. The justification is that insurance companies consider making KZfaq content, because it can be monetised, to be a business use of the bike hence not covered under an SD&P policy. The way around this is to state that the cameras are there in case of an incident involving you or your vehicle. It's then on them to prove that you're not using a latest-model Go Pro or Insta360 or whatever, as a really expensive dashcam.

That question isn't going to void your insurance. Not even possible.

It's a common question to those bikers who they dislike. I know someone who said they was on there way to work when asked why they was out. Then asked to see the insurance policy and the guy hadn't included commuting on the policy. 6 points and lost the licence. It's a crafty trick the police hold in reserve, as it's common not to know the finer points of insurance for young riders apparently. half the food delivery scooters around town don't have the correct cover either, which can also be used against them if they get lippy.

@@BLG80 It's a "crafty trick" to catch people who are breaking the law by driving/riding while uninsured..? I guess catching bank robbers, by catching them in the process of robbing a bank, is also a "crafty trick" too...

Oh, the old " I can smell cannabis" nonsense..gives them the idea they can do a search. When they find nothing it's an illegal search

6th Feb 2015, I had a backpack (containing corporate laptop, documents, personal effects and money) stolen from the passenger seat of my (unlocked) car as I sat in gridlocked traffic (bicyclist opened my door and grabbed it quicker than I could react). I jumped out and gave chase, STOPPED the thief but received a shattered (not just broken - SHATTERED) leg for my efforts. Within a few hours in hospital I received a visit from police. Cop NEVER asked a single question - was just abusive - repeatedly threatened that I would be charged with "CRIMINAL ASSAULT" (against the thief) unless I signed a "no police action statement" regarding the theft!!! - If I ever see one of these costumed clowns in a severe state of distress, I will NOT assist, I will NOT call for help, I will NOT even stop.

I remember being stopped several times around London and just got advice and a little telling off, never a ticket. That taught me to be respectful and to recognise the cops as friends. Very sadly, that is no longer the case. Ego is the biggest problem, they need to remember that they represent the law, they are not the law and that they as individuals have no part In the job they do. Another word that they should have tattooed into their sole is professionalism. Far too stupid to separate themselves from their job.

@@user-te6qm3ne8y I think it depended on the area. I remember i used to travel to Glasgow every weekend to deliver frozen foods. It was the old A74 then at the end of the M6.
