Oh dear, I never anticipated this reaction.
I did nuthin, honest!
Seriously though, I just realised I have no clue of the legal system in this country at all even though I was born here. I found that alarming, almost wrong.
It seems the goverment is specifically out to get us by ways of ignorance. They make the law super complicated and hide it away. Then use the thing thats supposed to protect us, against us by controlling us through fear & lack of knowledge.
Its a lot like in the old days when reading the Bible was heresy.
I found out through a couple road accidents last year how little protected us cyclists are.
Id just be very interested in learning more about basic law, and on what grounds the police are forced to act.
That is all.
