Filth - protests

You hear that the filth are planning to get Liberty to oversee their operations for the "Stop the cuts March" protests at the end of this month?  Apparently they're going to go all softly-softly this time, no beating newsagents to death or shooting innocent electricians in the head, nothing.

Police are told not to pursue motorbikes when stolen or fail to stop, not cars. If this fella wants to open up his bike and enjoy it, good luck to him. Theres a lot that do. The problem here is that he chose to do 149 on a 70mph road which was observed by a covert bike. What often happens in situations like this, which is evidenced on this thread, is that the attention switches from the offender, to the police. This is typical in this country. However, when all the noise goes quiet, the offender still did 149. So if the police were wrong to report him and the courts were wrong to convict him, how should the law deal with it ?

....

Maybe a different officer would have made an earlier decision, who knows. The officer may have a valid reason as to why he didnt, again who knows. Regardless of this, the rider could have chosen to do 70 instead. His choice. The mistake he made was not asking himself, could this bike behind me be police ? He obviously wanted to give it some on this occasion, and therefore should have asked himself that question before the throttle.

Speed and wheelies.

Although the police are supposedly there to prevent crime there are no government brownie points in that. Instead they are rated according to their conviction rate, so they need to gather evidence to ensure a conviction rather than switching on the "blues and twos" and ending this kind of behaviour as soon as they see it. Sadly this means that whilst they perceive this as a danger to the public they'll allow it to continue until they've accrued lots of evidence. If the police bike doesn't have a siren and lights it's just another speeding biker as far as other motorists are concerned.

That's the problem

.........James600zx....life is not about brownie points, its about remaning alive, gathering evidence and then finding the bastard has crashed and killed himself and others is no good at all, The Police are there to prevent crime and keep the public safe, fuck the government they are the biggest crooks of them all, usually backed up by the police but i still say that he could have been pulled very early on in the video, why did the officer immediately chase after him on entering the motorway? then back off, then go back after him, if he thought he was speeding on entry to the motorway he should have pulled him, no wheelie would have taken place but i understand your point about brownie points, why get someone for speeding when if you wait 5 mins you can have them for a more serious crime. Trouble with that is the police are endangering our lives to secure a more serious conviction.

Can you imagine being in a pub and someone punches you in the face, the local police arrive and think hang on a minute lets see if he's going to stab him before we intervene??????/fucking mental way of thinking.
