Please read... cannot believe this just happened after West End Drinks

It's not harassment but is a good case of the police exceeding their powers/ acting without lawful authority.

If people get grief like this they should be checking out: ipcc.gov.uk

The IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) isn't great - 94% of complaints against the Metropolitan police fail, but that's all we've got. The website details how to bring a complaint. Most straightforward matters will then be referred to the force in question.

The police will try and put you through something called 'local resolution'- don't do this, it'll just be swept under the carpet. Insist on a formal investigation.

If you need help I'll happily offer my time (for a pint)- if you succeed with your complaint or think you may have a claim, definitely see me!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Can we all start formally complaining every time we get harassed by the cops or knocked off by a car?!??!? Please!!
It is the easiest way to create a legitimate argument about how cyclists are treated in London.
We can't expect Big Brother to help if he doesn't know that there's an issue.
At the end of the year when they see a rise in cyclists harassed, bikes stolen, people hit by cars, it gives us something to talk about and demand change with.
