don't be a dick... they'll just fine you as much as possible, and at the end of the day, unless theres cctv coverage, it's just your word against theirs.
i got a fine for riding on the pavement last week. i was at sainsburys in clapham, bike locked up to the racks outside, i came out, unlocked my bike and rode the 4/5 meters from the rack to the road, then all of a sudden a copper and his hobby bobby mate, come running accross the road, stopping the traffic and shouting at me, and try and give me all this shit about riding on the pavement... i'm amazed at their pettyness and put up an argument, which resulted in me having a full background check, a full search, including my bag and even my shopping, and a £30 fine.
all this took about 20 mins, and in that time, there were 3 guys selling weed on the other side of the road, and i clocked them sorting out at least 4 people.
fucking rediculous.
