The officer didn't really understand bike tag, in his words, 'it's a bit weird'.
It was ok when there was just one officer, but very shortly after 2 police motorcycles and 2 red police people carriers turned up. Then they asked 'have you ever been arrested before' (stressing before) and started checking for a criminal record. I was mostly thinking please don't search my bag as I had detailed laminated print outs of Scoot's MI6 Furnival St for tomorrow's ride.
I wasn't planning on doing the tag, but just happened to be passing and thought might as well, but seriously, what was I thinking?!
