Surely this is illegal???

[warped one]

I'm not sure if this is happening in your part of the country but its happening at mine.

Currently even in this shite weather there are unmarked police cars, pushing people to break the speed limit. The way that they do this is by going right up your arse so that you will speed off, now in my eyes that already breaks 1 law (Tail gating) But its the fact of how can the 'POLICE' do this because if they ar all about pubic safety how can they be so insolent to do such a stupid and dangerous act. Now i don't want to con people into thinking i have a super fast bike or anything, in fact i have a 125 that i only do 60ph at the max. But if one of these cars comes right up my arse it makes me feel unnerved by the fact that if i fell off by the time the driver had hit the breaks he/she would have already gone through me.
I'm in the Grimsby area, and around here it looks like it is going to be a shite year for all the bikers if these remedial cops are doing this.

If it's not speed camera's it's this f**king cars, whats next them shooting ut the tyres of bikers because i can't see how else they can get worse.

So a warning to anyone in the GRIMSBY area be on the look out for black Vauxhall tigra's or skoda's and if they get right up your arse don't give them the pleasure of giving you a ticket or taking your license. Just stick to the limit and if we all do they will eventually realise that they can't get rid of us by using "SLY" and i use the word very loosely, methods.

Spread the word people

Cheers

I had this on the A64 near the A1079 exit over summer one evening.

I was doing around 80ishmph in the company car, when a car came close behind me whilst I was overtaking a pickup.

I was having none of it as someone did it earlier to me on the 2 way bit before the roundabout.

I thought it was another exec trying to get past when it flashed it's lights so I dropped from 5th to 3rd doing 80ish, huge cloud of smoke almost blocked out the car (hope their window was open ) and I pulled over to the inside lane.

Then, as the car was passing, i realised it was that unmarked Black Volvo as it's red sign was saying ''Obey the speed limit'' followed by a cheeky flash of the blue lights.

How about this? Bill of Rights 1689...."That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void"

According to the English Bill of Rights 1689, you can't really be fined until you have been in front of a jury of your peers. The Bill of Rights is still on the statute books and so some believe on-the-spot fines are in effect, illegal. I know people who have tested this and won.

And my point.....when tailgated, speed off, get pulled by the rozzers and insist they take the full video (including evidence of tailgating) to court.

If it happens to me I will do what I normally do to people driving dead close, its simple really, the closer you get the slower I go even to the point of stopping in the middle of road sometimes and just turning round in my seat and looking at them, not for intimidation but it don't half make people look like they feel really stupid.

Italian police tailgate in fully marked up police cars!

Anyway, UK police got caught a few years ago riding unmarked police Fireblades around until finding a suitable 'victim' on a bike.
They would pull up alongside and rev the bike in a manner as to suggest a race is on. Once the victim took the bait the game was already over. I'm pretty sure they did a story in a bike mag...

Entrapment is the term. Or c*ntish.

Why does anybody speed off? , I let them tail gate me, and have led huge convoys at 5mph in 30-40mph zones, I also dominate my lane such that nobody can get past me , or undertake me.

Police use Tigras in your area, doubt they have the space in there for a camera

Next time just emergency brake for the tailgating policemen.

I am sure that would go down well for them and you get a new bike and gear because it was their fault.

Back of the net.

Just practice an emergency stop, and when they hit you you can sue them for millions.

I've seen this a lot with marked cars as well as unmarked. They can be quite subtle when doing it.
They slowly get closer so that an unthinking driver subconciously accelerates a bit more and then a bit more and so on until they are then shocked as the following cars radiator lights up blue and they are getting pulled.
Its a typical shite tactic to extort money from drivers but unfortunately works.
If i get someone doing it to me i'll flick the brake lights on without actually braking and this normally "encourages" them to back off. If this doesn't work then slowing right down helps
cheers

Hi

You can try it but then they would just pull you up under suspicion that you have been drinking.

And you can be 100% certain that they could find something wrong with any vehicle you are using if they really wanted to.

All the best
