Managed to get pulled this morning for slinking over the pedestranised walk bit (over a red) and then for hovering waiting for a break in the traffic. This was coming up to Trafalgar Square from Whitehall. I have been stopped a couple of times around Whitehall (they have guns, and are a bit thick. I have a beard and a tan and have spent a lot of time in the Middle East. I am however not Brazilian but I doubt they would ask) This was the first time that I have had a full name check and the “ are you known to us” chat and was threatened with ‘being charged’…every other occasion has been a “we understand why you do it sir” and has been good natured.
Charged with what exactly? If it is a offence what is the worse that they can do?
And if any one knows for sure if you have to give them your name that would be appreciated…
