Useless political police

Can they send those coppers round our residential streets where for several years we have illegal crossers racing round the streets? Riding flat out along narrow pavements. Hiking wheelies everywhere. Street racing with no plates and no helmets in broad daylight. Little kids riding around with no lids on bikes far too big for them. Young males racing at night dressed in black with no lights, face masks and no lids.

Our local police are totally f****ing useless no matter how many times I phone them about these illegal bikes. So can they send those cops round ?

We have this every day and night not once in a blue moon bike demo !!!

Police are a bunch of tools.................. political tools.

Ah, the "I don't much like the cut of your jib" offence.  I have problems imaging an offence more open to abuse or difficult to defend yourself again, since it's worded to rely only on proving the copper's belief, not on the actual facts of the riding.

PRA 2002 Section 59

Vehicles used in manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance

(1)Where a constable in uniform has reasonable grounds for believing that a motor vehicle is being used on any occasion in a manner which—

(a)contravenes section 3[*] or 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (c. 52) (careless and inconsiderate driving and prohibition of off-road driving), and

(b)is causing, or is likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public,

he shall have the powers [to stop, warn or seize] set out in subsection (3).

[*] RTA 1988 Section 3

Careless, and inconsiderate, driving.

If a person drives a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place, he is guilty of an offence.

All that said, the chaps blocking the outside lane were doing so on their own cognisance, had been asked politely not to, I have zero sympathy with them.  Your ride, your risk.

Why does a talentless bimbo

 with big tits get an Ad Hoc  police escort last summer, with the stated reason being that she needed protection, yet a well advertised protest run is merely "attended" by a police prescence, out to defend  the car drivers and not the motorcyclists?

If the police had been present to protect the tail of the run, and escort at the front, then of course the police would be blamed for the hold up.

That being said, I still fail to see how pissing off a bunch of car drivers helps the cause. The original plan, as I recall, was to stick to lane 1 at around 45 mph, and not block the outside lanes. Those guily of ignoring this and going even slower were bound to have their collars felt, but it still seems that bikers are being picked on by certain members of the constabulary. A proper police escort would have avoided all of this.

The Police are not 'tools of the politicians' but rather 'tools of the state' as indeed are all the politicians too, they  do not work on our behalf, they serve their masters namely the 'City of London' i.e the (W)Bankers and thier grand plan for the EU(SSR) superstate which is run under the old soviet model with total control of our lives via politically correctness,Common Purpose and the removal of rights and freedoms, Protest, dont sit watching the braindead crap in the media (run and owned by the same global elite to brainwash and dumb you down) dont waste your vote on the three main political parties, they are all pro EU and 'puppets',  The UK is to be abolished and England broken up into 9 regions of Europe, WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE? 

...and another thing

As we pulled off the M40 onto exit slip road - loads of dimwits decided to stop as if they were on a carpark - get off bikes and have a general chat, wait for mates who had got lost etc etc. Cannot believe I witnessed it - sitting ON the exit road of a motorway (causing an obstruction) with literally hundreds of bikes and cars and and maybe a lorry or two waiting to come off.Particularly bad group comprised mainly scooter riders but there were bikes doing it as well.

Every ride I have been on - be it charity or protest has contained its share of biking idiots - when the first/best  Wootton Bassett day was run in 2010 - loads of such idiots were threatening to steam on down and chock the whole place up cos they couldn't get registered for the actual ride. Nuff said on that score - but am beginning to think that those who do this are probably just the guys that the EU laws are aimed at scupperring - ie those  who simply cannot tow any sort of a line - thinking about it would however require a brain - which these berks ain't got.
