i got stopped a while ago going though a red, the police car was hooting and had sirens going but i couldnt hear as i had earphones in, i got to brixton from oval beofre i realised they were trying to get me to stop, when i did they surrounded me and took my bike off me before telling me to give them ID, i gave it to them and they radioed through before giving the same shit storry everyone else gets about going through reds, at the end he decided not to do anything else and they just drove off. but all this reminds me of when i was skating in london bridge a while ago, one pcso had about 5 skaters up against a wall and we were skating past, he grabbed my mate and told us to do the same as the others, ten seconds later one of the other skaters just legged it as the pcso called in others but they werent there, then everyone just legged it shouting back that the pig was a twat. all this has led me to believe that when dealing with coppers you have to treat them a little differently to everyone else; one should always talk slowly and not use any big words when talking to them because they are all stupid knobheads who are too lazy to go and get a proper job so instead they become a pig so they can boss everyone else about and wont have to take any shit from anyone else even though they are stupid and most probalby on an ego trip. but if you an just cycle off.
