That was pretty good.

I dare say most other coppers would just arrest you under some silly section or whatever they want to say.

Hah, i wish i knew enough about the law to do that.

I wish I was able to remain as eloquent (possibly the wrong word, not quite that over the top) as him when dealing with them.

It's a game of words and I always end up saying the wrong thing.

That was ridiculously satisfying.

However, if the guy did run a red light (as is the norm for cyclists now) then he was also being a cock. I drive, so cyclist behaviour irritates me every day. Listen to them bleat and whine when they get run into or over, or cut out on a corner because a large HGV trailer has cut in on them where they cannot possibly be seen.

Though not as much of a cock as that particular occifer in this case.

A quiet word like a human being "it's not really in your interest to run a red light, i'd advise you refrain from doing it". Rather than the revenue collection angle.

Not met a human being in Thames Valley police patrols around here recently, for example.

Coppers a tit for stammering and not behaving as a policeman should. Heres hoping he learned a lesson there, as well as any other coppers watching that.

Cyclist is also a tit for running a red. I am a cyclist myself, respectful and cautious. Its because of nobbers like that (and the nobbers that stereotype all cyclists under the same banner) we have to deal with pointless hate on a day to day basis. Heres hoping he gets knocked down next time.

Cyclists don't actually respect the cyc;e police. I saw a copper walk and put his hand out to stop a cyclist who jumped a red light.

The cyclist just rode off fast, and the copper jumped on his bike in 1st gear or some crap, spent ages getting up and looking like a fool, and rode at 10 MPH to catch up to a guy doing 30 or so.

For someome who said they had been advised to remain silent he had a lot to say.......

I hate cyclists who think they are above the law.

Hopefully next time he runs a red light a nice big artic is comming the other way.

I would have thought that a charge of obstructing a police officer in the course of his duty would not have been inappropriate in those circumstances. The cyclist was behaving like an obnoxious cock and if I had been the cop then I would have given him some truncheon and made the video evidence disappear.

Obstruction?! Raffles, are you trolling?

"Yes, Mr Officer sir, I deserve a smack around the head for not bending over and accepting your punishment without question."

[colin1]

Well this was hardly Rodney King.

Legally the cyclist may have been in the right for evading the consequences of running a red light, but morally, he was in the wrong.

It may be a silly law as cyclists can run red lights with little risk if they are careful, but he got caught and just tried to use word games to get off.

To maintain order the police need to bully people into doing as they are told even if there is little or no legal basis.

I think the encounter would have gone rather differently if the camera wasnt there, and the lunge would have happened far earlier.

I believe that actually, a person does have to identify themselves if a police officer asks, although not if a community support officer asks.

I think the cyclists knowledge of the law was just as shaky as the police officers.

I would agree that morally it would be nice if policemen spent more time enabling prosecutions for real offences that result in harm, rather than offences which could lead to harm which provide revenue, but its a lot easier to tax the slightly naughty, than catch the very naughty.
