  • Right in front of two cops (one real, one plastic). Both saw it, neither raised a finger.

    Because one or two police have no way of stopping them, and would look stupid failing to?

  • Ah, hadn’t considered that. Unsolvable crime.

    (Sorry if acerbic, had my autistic nine year old boy on his bike a couple of metres behind me at the time - could have been a bad situation so still a bit pumped up)

  • No that's genuinely why I think police don't take much notice.

    I'm currently a pedestrian with somewhat reduced agility, balance and awareness due to long Covid, and am pretty fucked off with close passes by scooters, e-bikes, bikes, occasional motorbikes but mostly scooters on pavements. I'm long resigned to it when crossing roads.

    (I am also in the London borough that has 1 police station for a third of a million people...)
