As in road spikes? How would you exactly mass deploy that when you can move anywhere and everywhere before authorities can deploy any of it? They're not riding on the road...they're riding everywhere. How many spikes do plod have per transgression?
and @ObiWomKenobi fair do's. Chase them. Great policy, but who would do that? How many? That video is all exciting and all, but how much budget does the plod have to allocate all those scrotes causing all this havoc and for how long exactly?
Chak-
who would do that?
I wasn't being totally serious.. but it could be done by a special unit. would discourage crime if they knew the police would chase and that there was a baton wielding pillion. other countries seem to manage, and it isn't expensive - these greek police earn like €300 a month and have to buy their own petrol sometimes. they have a wide range of bikes too.
I think at this point the only difference between the two groups is the uniform though, so by no means am I implying that the UK should introduce another gang to the streets...

Only real way to deal with moped crimes is spike. But mass deployemnt is required. And im not sure if its considered reckless.
