Its about bikes

Caught on camera and published obviously hiding himself from view from the 'target' of his camera.

tut tut, I dont see his number though cant report him Sad

p.s. I dont hate the police force, I hate bad practice

They aren't instigating proceedings against anyone though, so ACPO guidelines don't apply.

It's still stupid though, as it achieves nothing.

ACPO guidleines don't mean much...

They're hiding behind trees, to catch road users in scotland

About time they did something to curb these prats who think they rule to road's and footpaths...

As they can't fine them.... Perhaps a local council by-law would solve that, as as we all know ignorance is no defence in the eyes of the law....
Take their bikes and crush em Thumbs Up

so if you "speed" on a pushbike all you get is a leaflet and a talking to wtf is the point ? how many people are going to care what some jobsworth with a leaflet says ?

and the police cant fine people because bikes dont have speedometers so wtf is the point in doing it ??

next thing the nobbers will do is introduce a pushbike licence.

i've had a policeman in north wales hide completely out of view with just his gun sticking out. Lad i was with got a ticket. He even asked him "your not suppose to hide behind stuff are you" to which the copper said "no i don't know where you heard that but your wrong " and that he wasn't doing anything wrong by hiding he wasn't even wearing high viz and his car was hide around the corner Neutral

The clue is in the thread title! They are guidelines only, not law.

How many people here would stop for a "Seafront Ranger"?

If you did, would you hang about for a bollocking for speeding on your bicycle or would you laugh in their face, give them the finger and ride off twice as fast as you'd been doing before?

I believe his post was slightly tongue in cheek, although no doubt he wishes bicycles to be crushed.

Quite possibly, but as BCF generally takes the 'we're all such victims' approach and then attacks every other form of road user, it can be hard to tell.
