johnny h .....when they pulled up beside me two of them had guns drawn.
the only I.D. i had was my bankcard and my mobile so they cuffed me and told me unless i could verify my identity i'd be spending the night in a cell....

... thats just crazy! Did you have blood on your shirt or something?? ;)

On the Sunday after the Tour de France, I rode the course 10 -15minutes behind them, roads deserted, no one around - fantastic.

I got chased up Tottenham Ct Road a few weeks ago by BTP with lights and sirens for rolling at 2mph over the line on an empty pelican crossing about 0.5 second before it actually changed. There followed a five minute lecture at the curb signed off with "you're lucky I haven't got the pad with me". Great.

a few weeks back coming down regent street, about to go through a red, this cop literally threw himself in front of me and Shouted 'What the fuck do you think your doing' to which i muttered something regarding his need to persue further conflict management classes..

spent the next hour up against the wall waiting for name checks as i had no I.d., fully searched and then given a lecture on my attitude and life.

fortunately i wasn't fined but to be honest i'd sooner pay £30 than listen to some tossbag who is clearly scraping the 'intelegence' barrel,

madness mate. maybe it was my camo shorts.

when they heard my irish accent they then started the whole 'how long have you been living in this country gag'?

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.

Like I said. All coppers at school were either bullied or were the plebs that wanted to be part of 'the cool gang' but were never cool enough.

acab, simple really.

heh heh... i remember a kid at school who had a really pikey dad who had that tatooed on his hand... it took me years to work out what it meant! :)

Err, without sounding like a remy, wot does it mean?

All Cabbies Are Bastards

Heh heh... All Cops Are Bastards!

...or summat like that ;-P

Pistanator Err, without sounding like a remy, wot does it mean?

all cops are bastards

although i dont stick to this veiw as it is overly simplified, i think that sometimes it helps me to figure out why they do stupid things.

too late

btw - i'm sure that's just biro ;)

What of it all my tats are in biro.

Platini [quote]empty7 just make sure it's not too random as they sometimes phone up some loser wanking himself off on the end of the line to check the address exists.

Just give them Hippy's name and address. He can afford it now he's not pissing all his money up the wall...[/quote]

Fscker! I've already spent the excess on gears and therapy anyway.

dogsballs do you legally have to give them your details if you are not arrested?? and if you have no id how can they arrest you or take you down to the station?!

as far as i am aware, you have to give them a name and an address where you are known by that name. doesn't have to be your real name, and you don't have to have id. but if they don't believe you, they can hold you until they have verified it in some way. that may be by checking the electoral register, or by ringing up a phone number at that address, or by sending a police car around to check.

i thought it was a name you are known by, and an address you can be contacted at. i also thought that you could provide the address of your solicitor.

that's the same thing, isn't it? ;-)
