I was pretty happy a RLJ got caught but the cop is pretty poor in handling the situation.

    The copper should know the law - or at least, got guidance on it - and then nicked the tw@.

    Yeah the RLJ is a plonker of the highest order, the copper isnt far away from it by inventing laws.

    Both a bit annoying but the policeman lost his cool way too quickly, plus he doesn't seem to know the law he is trying to enforce.
    Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.

    I wouldn't have much/any patience with the RLJ. He comes across as an annoying tool. I dread to think what he's like to work with :p

    been around and around. neither side look great TBH. he does claim in a follow on video that he didn't RLJ.
  • Video has been posted on here before. Owner appears to have made it private now, but I'm sure it is the same. Did a bit of research when it first came to light.
    The cyclist guy goes by the name of spiritualentertainer. Apparently his real name is Danny Shine and he is pretty much a professional antagonist. Many of his arguments have been used in his other videos and are well rehearsed, the copper was unprepared.

    Best not to give him the oxygen of publicity. Viewing his videos can only offer encouragement so, having watched a few to make this judgement, I for one wont be bothering to do so anymore.. Trust me they are neither humorous or entertaining.
    Nobody told me we had a communication problem

    The bloke filming is obviously a massive bellend, but the policeman should know what his own powers of arrest are. Can you arrest someone for failing to provide identification etc? I don't know but you would hope a copper knows the answer.
