Have they got sneaky hidey blue lights?
If not then why'd he stop?
I could wear some POLICE sunglasses.
Doesn't mean to say I could pull peeps over.

[devojunior]

[Alpha-9]

I wouldn't believe they were police for shit

No sirens lights or anything?

Guess its so they can chase after anyone making a run for it off road where normal coppers couldn't catch them.

Read this in a paper, few forces around here are getting these bikes to try cut down on people illegally riding off-road. Ironically by riding their bikes where they're stopping others

[GF-91]

They wouldn't be able to pursue them off road anyway due to "health and safety" though, right?

Sneaky cunts, either way

I would have thought they would make the bikes look a little more police like, just to be fair to people avoiding them.
Quite a good idea really. I only usually see them try and chase people off roading in a van

[Koltu]

Went past them today two streets down from me, they'd pulled someone else over... Definitely cracking down on something in my area!

They have them in North Yorkshire. It's to combat the large number of bike thefts and the use of them on waste ground.

They have been in Dalby forest loads of times, looking for people off-roading. They stop them and check that the bikes are legal.

If you stick floresent jackets on or big signs to say police, chances are they will not catch the little tykes who stole your bike.

I've seen police riders on African Twins with just "Police" written in small writing on their helmet. Sneaky bastards!

I also wheelied down a road and put it down as a silver corsa pulled out further up the road. Got up close and he had a "Lancashire Constabulary" sticker on the bumper. Que swiftly exiting down a side road.

[Gamble]

I wouldn't personally of stopped and even if I did the first thing I'd of asked for is a marked vehicle to attend as you could be any one! On saying that, I know they have those around here because a friend used to go school with one of the riders.

You often hear young ones telling their stories about how they got away on their nicked RM 85's but truth be told, there's no chance as both of them have a quite impressive motorcross history.

Either way, very, very schneaky!
