He agreed what they'd done was illegal but there was only him spotting people and two regulars further up the road stopping people. Not sure I understand his logic.
I will say that I've only ever seen the cops there talking to drivers, never cyclists.
He means the PCSO doesn't speak to them but tells the regular plod up the road which ones to pull over to have a word with (that way they get spoken to by real plod rather than PCSO).
Easier to do that with cars than scooters (or bikes) as the PCSOs can radio up the reg no of cars to the regular plod so they know which to point to and pull over. The regular plod can't see reg nos of oncoming scooters (or cycles obv.) and descriptions aren't reliable.
