I then asked him is it illegal for a law abiding citizen to igonre a law enforcement agent because they are acting like an idiot?
Nice.
I witnessed peds jaywalking
Nope. No such thing. You're not obliged to wait for the green man before crossing, nor are you obliged to cross at a marked crossing.

This is slightly unrelated to being stopped at Peckham, but about a year or so ago, I stopped at the red light at a junction minding my own business. A PCSO came to me, tapped on my shoulder and started telling me how inappropriatly dressed I was while on the bike - it was a sunny summer day, I had a black t-shirt and blue jeans on with a bright colour backpack that had reflectives on... I initially ignored him, then he moved onto telling me that the chances of women cyclists getting killed on the road are higher because of the way we dress. I didn't want to start an argument but I couldn't help but ask him if I had broken the law at all by the way I dress? He said no. I then asked him is it illegal for a law abiding citizen to igonre a law enforcement agent because they are acting like an idiot? Then I cycled on as the green light came on.
During our mostly 1 directional conversation, I witnessed peds jaywalking and cyclists jumping the red. He decided that wearing a black t-shirt riding a bike is the biggest offence out of all...
