Just went for a quick spin on the 1200 Bandit this afternoon. Wasnt going mad at all, but may have nipped over a couple of speed limits. Copper following a few cars back eventually pulled me, once he caught up...and gave me a be careful chat, phew! Good to see theres some good ones out there that understand bieks are different to cars.

Thank you!

Indeed, I got pulled doing a silly speed. Didn't even realise he was behind me, flashing blues and twos. Told me to behave and take it to the moors if I wanted to kill myself. Left it at that.

Good to see common sense prevailing on the odd occaision.

I've yet to be pulled over but only been riding a year and only on a tiddler, i'm sure that'll change on the hornet

I had the GoPro on as well, this quickly made a departure to the nearest hedge...its now recovered and footage deleted. I wont be wearing one on my helmet any more!

If they'd seen you throwing something in the hedge straight after being pulled you'd probably be inviting a world of shit your way.

Good to see,

You must have passed the attitude test!

Can I suggest throwing stuff into bushes as you are getting stopped is not the wisest of things to be doing.

There is no power for them to seize the camera from you, however if you choose to ditch it then it could be seized sus stolen, footage viewed and you've screwed yourself then!

Why would I lie? id stopped on a corner, and the copper asked me to pull along side him further down the road, as soon as a car blocked the vision between us, I had it off. (yes easily in gloves). Im pretty sure they could confiscate it if they wanted to, plenty of people have been done from putting footage on youtube etc, so I wasnt goign to take any chances. Also, in having a camera on your head, its bound to arouse suspicions as to your driving style, do you not think? I wasnt chancing it anyway...and yes I think the attitude test was past ;D

Good to hear, I just assumed that as Id been caught clearly speeding on a few occasions, that they would have the right to take it as evidence? No?

if so great, maybe I am paranoid, Id hate to loose my licence though!

I bought a Go Pro Hero 2 not long ago, less than a month ago. The thought going through my mind before I bought it was, "What happens if the police pull me for whatever reason and take the camera off me?".

I'm pretty sure that if they want to, they would take it off you. I saw a video on YouTube of some guy challenging some coppers about something and they repeatedly said, "If we believe there's evidence on that camera about a crime, we can take it off you".

The guy was eventually arrested and the video ends.

Just to go against the grain a bit, surely all this does is indicate there are actually some bad coppers out there. If you're stupid enough to be speeding whilst your obs are bad enough not to see a cop car following you need a ticket.

They can seize what is called best evidence. So if you have a cam on your head and they're serious about doing you they can take the camera/cam. Best bet is if the memory card is easily removable that way you could have forgot to load one before you set off

had a police officer stop me in the middle of the road yesterday, he was walking across the road, I asked him if he wanted me to pull to the side he said no and made me take all my gear off (whilst still sat on my bike in the middle of the road, also on a blindish corner outside a school) shouted at me about my speed (was doing 25 in a 20) and then just walked away leaving me having to pull my bike to the side of the road with all the gear in my hand, so pissed off but its pointless making a complaint because then they know me, my bike, just an excuse to pull me over more.
not all coppers are good.

Thanks for all those.

My thoughts entirely, if they want the camera, they will take it! Hence mine went for a short vacation to the side of the road. better safe than sorry!
