I was stopped by two bike police in Bracknell once, complaining that I didn't give way to them on a cycle path I was alleged to be crossing when exiting a car park. Once I pointed out they in fact weren't on a cycle path, which they argued the case against for a couple of minutes (I had to get out of the car and show them where the path went round the back of the car park) they then proceeded to tell me I had to give way to cyclists on a pavement. When I pointed out this couldn't be the case as its illegal to cycle on a pavement, they started to lecture me on the highway code. Fools. After a while of trying to blag it they realised I know more about cyclists rights (or lack of) than them, and let me go.

1 - been posted all over the place already
2 - the guy in the vid is a total d1ck. End of. As I posted somewhere else, refusing to give details in the States he would have been spreadeagled over a bonnet (hood I suppose) with a 9mm up his jacksie.

That would have been funny.

The cyclist was an absolute ass ramming, monkey humping, dog feltching, turd burgling, cumsponge gobshite!

I quite honestly hope that the next time he jumps a red light, he meets a big truck and gets turned into a red smear on the tarmac.

Fkn bellend!

But that’s the states not here, which over there is their answer to everything get the guns out. It’s more to the point the police haven’t got a clue what to do if someone has got a slight edge over them or try and intimidate them and just because they are the police. Yes the guy is in the wrong for running a red light though, but the policeman was IMO made to look like a pleb so he lashed out at the guy.

Cyclist may have been an ass but..

The copper was rude, aggressive and poorly trained with a lack of knoledge of his job, further securing my veiw that a mojority of police are just rather thick little bullies with no concepts of there responsabilities to the community.

Everyone is a d1ck except me.

Absolutely, just like the majority of cyclists jump red lights and ride on pavements with no concept of their responsibilities to other road users. :roll:

First words were the cyclist was an ass, but the cops attitude from the on set was un acceptable in his postition. If the copper had a decent attitude adn new his job the cyclist would have booked and the situation handled. its a poor reflection on the police officer that he was unable to do his job because he didn't know what it was

And i've experienced this personally several times in the last few years, bullies and so on, I see more support in the news, and internet to support the idiot bully point of veiw on the police that i ahve from my personal experience. and my personal expereince of commuters is awful too btut hats a differnet point

So a video of one sub-standard police officer means that all police are of a similar standard and are also bullies?

Where are the videos of the thousands of incidents of police dealing with aggressive, violent criminals in a professional and calm way. Incidents in which most of you commenting negatively would carp your pants. Officers risk their lives every day for complete strangers.

The Police are the same as any other large scale employer. There are good and bad at what they do and how they do it.

Numptys prefer to focus on the isolated negatives rather than heroic acts that happen every day.

Did you read my post though, i said in my experience, personal expereince and the videos i see like this support my expereinces, did i say all? not really no. do imply alot of them well yes.

i mean did you hear the head of scotland yard in the phone hacking scandals, he was so idiotic it was painful it's an opinion, find some video support for the opposite opint where most police are competent caring and interested and then i will maybe be convinced.

You don't imply "a lot". You say "a mojority" sic

I have several friends who are coppers. Perhaps learn to spell and construct proper sentences before suggesting the "mojority" are thick

Sweeping generalisations about any group tend to make the individual seem ignorant.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion of course and you can only go off your personal experience and that of others. I would suggest very few people report back when they have had a positive experience with police but people are very quick to broadcast a negative one.

It is cool to slate the police. It's just most people grow out of it when they leave their teen years.

Also - If you live in a world where you need video evidence to believe something, you may be disappointed when you find out about Father Christmas.

Thewaylander

Again i disagree,

In the Newport area i know alot of people who have a problem wit the attittude of the gwent police force, and generalisations are useful for describing job types for peoples. For instance i'm a tax accounts assisstant, most people who do this are pedantic and annoying, and most the people with in my field of work i've met generally do fit the description including myself to some degree.

Most of the police i've met are bullies, and i know people who work with the police in Wales. and you should ask your friends what they get up to at there training houses

But most importantly you do not know my age or educational level(my english is poor i admit) but learn to take things into account before your critize people about there English, or i will come back about your math, or maybe your astrophysics area's i did well in at uni thank you

andymc06

But I'm not calling people thick!

Like I say we all have our opinions and I just thought I would give my point of view.

I have had dealings with coppers who were complete tools but I don't think it's fair to generalise.

Anyway can we get back to mountain biking please.............

Pedantic? You have possibly the worst spelling I've ever seen on an internet forum, and that's saying something!
Ignorant and annoying sounds more plausible to me.

Please do tell us what police get up to in their training houses: and you could demonstrate your superior maths by a quick bit of statistics on the alleged prevalence of internet videos of police malpractice.

Indeed, i have to fight with my Danish spell checker on my work's computer and I often miss things. I find you personally rude.

Also stats isn't real maths :P i can start doing a load of motion things when i have time k

And i think my major problem with the police if someone was that igorant of there job in the private sector, like in an accounts department they would have been asked to leave...


Ok back to biking as asked, you seen those police bikes... comedy

andymc06

I said mountain biking................

Thewaylander

But they are mountain bikes.

They had a couple of GT's recently when i spotted a pair defiantely slightly better than a BSO hehe

RyanMK43

The person in the video must be a student.

He said something about picking his kid up..... Not that that's fact or means he's not.

Have I accidentally strayed on singletrack some of the comments on this thread makes me think they need to get back to middleclasstrack.com quick before all this pomposity gets too unbearable

The cyclist was an arse and the policeman lost his cool.

Neither exactly covered themselves in glory. I wouldn't have though PCs have to know the specific wording of the law they're using. They're police officers, not human encyclopedias.

You can get FPNs for all kinds of things, not just motoring offences, so 'documents' won't always be available. If an officer can't be sure a person is who they say they are, or they just won't say, they can arrest them.




....I think!

The cop should have spoken to the control room, confirmed where he stood, and done what needed to be done. Lashing out at someone, when you know they've got a camera, is stupid.

andymc06

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Supporting the police means people are pompous and middleclass does it? What a constructive contribution.
