If you are talking about whom I think you are talking about. There is more, family claimed that police victimised him by stopping him slot. The scotter he was on was a 300¿ when the plate on the bike said 125. On the bike were found a couple of hundred quid in cash.

There was the incident where a kid died running from the police on a stolen scooter and the family organised a mural in remembrance. I think there was some issue with vandalism of the mural. It's all pretty dissonant that a family would be 'he was such a nice kid, everyone liked him' when clearly he wasn't that nice to people who own motorbikes.
My own experience over many years has been that the police feel it's not a crime against a person and if you're well off enough to have a motorbike you can afford the cost of insurance and replacement. I don't think they don't care but they're too busy dealing with mental health issues.
