Good Guy Copper does his job, gets taken to court.

Give him another medal and a couple weeks off with pay. I'll chip in.

Should not even be in court, CPS should be ashamed of itself. And they wonder why criminals laugh at the justice system.

Perhaps it's time for cargo nets and Chinnooks!!

the article and court case are basically advising all scrotes to use motorcycles as they won't get chased or caught. This needs to be dropped and the copper congratulated to show this isn't the case.

That will be why the Police in Edinburgh are standing by and watching bikes being stolen.

Could it be seen as a test case? Good guy popo gets found not guilty, all scrotes on nicked bikes can now be stopped in this way?

[B0ndy]

This type of behaviour will only continue to get worse if the Police can't do anything, how are they expected to stop them .

I would be interested to hear the "official" procedure for stopping the scrotes and include statistics on how effective it's been...

did bikesafe awhile back and the instructors were saying that a lot of these scum are taking their helmets off when they get chased because they know they won't get followed.

they admitted they wouldn't chase them as if something happened they'd be liable, they have families, mortgages etc and it's not worth the risk.

Can some kind of targeted EMP device not be fired at these fuckwits, that would slow their bikes down.

Can't see any issue with using live rounds on them personally ......

I also see the side of why they are taking him to court. He endangered the dudes life as a police officer. Yes the little cunt was endangering everyone else's lives but he isn't bound by red tape like coppers are.

It's a tricky one, he was only doing what he believed to be right at the time with his judgement and now he's being punished for it, which isn't right either but I'm not sure smashing something off a bike with a vehicle is as well.

Then again, we haven't seen the video. You see those police tv shows they do give people nudges in cars and block em in or bump in to the side of them when there's high risk chases, etc. For all we know, this copper completely rammed him at excessive speed, etc etc.

[UncleFester]

The fact not withstanding he was riding without a license, on a suspended sentence, uninsured and probably on a nicked bike.

Hopefully the exit from the EU will mean a return to some common sense laws, courts and policing and light to medium beatings for scrotes.

Apparently he's the only remaining son out of 4 ( https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-259004490.html) ..... one got shot, the other fell off a balcony and the other did time for burglary.

And yet i think that if bike is stolen, being ridden dangerously, without plates and by a known criminal then 'knocking them off' should be considered reasonable force and then we might actually have a real deterrent to them being bike criminals in the first place.

Given the little blighter was already on a suspended sentence, he clearly gives not two hoots what society thinks.

If he had not stopped that bike, and the rider continued on to hurt/kill someone he would then be berated for NOT stopping the bike by any means necessary.

At some point, we have to accept that it's in the public's best interests to just potato serial offenders and people posing a significant risk to the public. This 'Ohhh they may hurt themselves if pursued' narrative is only encouraging those who feel they are untouchable and they will escalate their shinanigans until people are killed.

I say take out those committing the offences by all means necessary instead of waiting for them to kill someone innocent. If you have a problem with this then you're most likely part of the problem because you're either participating in shinanigans or encouraging them by supporting the 'let them get away with it' policies.
