"moped" and "high speed" in the same sentence?

PCX 125. As usual police and press fail to understand difference between Moped and Scooter

"Tactical contact"

Yer John, sarg says you can splat the fcker.
Righto.

[Polarbear]

Good. The police really need to do something as this 'can't chase them in case they injure themselves' just lets them laugh at the law and is going to fuel vigilantism.

I'd have thought the risk of members of the public getting injured is of greater concern than the possibility of the scrotes potating themselves.

[Rogerborg]

Something to bear in mind is that rozzers enjoy no special protection in law for using violence.

They can spaff on about procedures and NPCC guidelines all they like, and Super Magic Special Training, and intelligence led policing, but when it comes down to it, if it's reasonable for Dibble to smash in some pedboi's back door, it's reasonable for you or me to do it too under the same circumstances, with the same knowledge and beliefs that it's necessary for the reduction of harm.

You're not trained in how to punt a ped boi off their stolen ped without causing too much damage to the ped.

And as far it's reasonable possible for you or me to do it too under the same circumstances, we're unlikely to find ourselves in the same circumstances which is chasing a stolen ped that's failing to stop for pc plod.

How badly is a motorist screwed if a little child runs out and gets dreaded generally? Assuming motorist is driving within the law, has not taken any substances and has a 100% good condition road legal car.

If said motorist panicked and drove a few streets away from the scene before contacting the police are they going down for a proper hard stretch or can a motorist be fully exonerated and passed blame free by the law for such a tragic accident though?

Unfortunately it's adults that are annoying me, and they don't have the same habit of unpredictability running out into the road.

Can they park on thieves' Adam's apple?


I mean if there's no yellow lines, obviously.

I'm waiting for the baton through the front wheel tactic from beat plod.

I don't know if it's just coincidental that there are two in relatively short succession, but I'd like to think there is a more forceful approach being taken against both bike thieves and street scum on mopeds.

Slightly off topic - I thought modern smart phones could be locked out remotely? Do the crims just reflash them or summat?
