Police spotting (junction watch)

I assume they ask for ID?

Even if you say you haven't, they aren't going to believe you.

Name and D.O.B. if you refuse to co operate they can take you to the station. Bearing in mind that the Old Bill are by far the biggest gang in town by a cuntry mile your better up fessing and taking it on the chin/kidneys/soles of feet.

Any ways up it's not like it's entrapment, they're fukin huge and dressed like lollipop lady's hangin out in packs of three. Surly your (collective) "mad skills"
are finely tuned to spotting rozzers at major junctions during rush hours??

Don't get caught or take it like a man/woman. As for motorist on the blower, some gezzer driving a 50/60/70 ft rear wheel steer articulated truck down Victoria St today PM on the dog and bone, avec passenger. cnut or what... steam over..

I was waiting at a red light this morning with two other cyclists in Acton. Been there for 10-20 seconds. Motorbike just rides around us on the right and turns left, past us all, on the red.

Fuck any cunt that gives me that 'cyclists always run reds' bullshit. I'll stab 'em upside the head.

whatever man, cyclists definitely run reds more than anyone else by a long way. regardless of how we feel about it, it is a fact.

Well, the RAC survey suggested that cyclists have the highest percentage of rljers (50% I think it was), but if you go by raw numbers, 10% of car drivers probably accounts for more transgressions.

wise man once say - if you're not paying enough attention to spot the rozzer, you're not paying enough attention to RLJ...

Edit: when did it get so fucking C+

CUUUUNNNNTT!!!! (by way of redressing this).

ermm... you give them a false name and address

jesus

I've been stopped three times for running a redrecently. I've said sorry, and they let me go.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as peds have the right of way.

It's worth just hopping off the bike for a few minutes, talk to the filth and point out the numberous drivers on the mobiles as your talking.

ermm... you give them a false name and address

jesus

They correlate, name D.O.B. = identity + proof of address. fuck chum my phone knows when I'm taking a shit, when was the last time you robbed a bank? Just a thought mind.

am i missing something here? if a copper/rozzer/peeler stops you and tries to give you a fine, * how does he know you are giving him the correct address*?

cos they fucking check, right there and then.

if they think you are bulling, you get a ride in the meatwagon.

I'm cool,I just use your name and address.

ermm... you give them a false name and address

jesus

I really think if you told them you were Jesus, they'd take you in, why don't you try it next time and see what happens?

actually, when was the last time you gave a false name and address to a policeman?

Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs)

lol, these people are morons, I remember a few years back I had one of these tools chase me along the pavement after I had jumped a red. Poor bloke was running and shouting at me, fat git. I though he was gonna have a heart attack! Luckily he gave up before he did

I have kind of a soft spot for them, after two of them admired my bike, asked if I raced, and insisted that I didn't need to lock it up, because they'd keep an eye on it for me while I nipped into Tesco for wine (ahem). Wonder what would have happened if they'd needed to pursue an RLJ? Maybe they were looking for an excuse not to...

cos they fucking check, right there and then.

and how do they do that then?

Metro Silverlink, Dalston, 1996, Michael Ryan, 23 Hungerford Terrace. E8. £10 on the spot and a right talking to..

actually, when was the last time you gave a false name and address to a policeman?

haven't had the opportunity before, since i was always in a car when asked. a car with a registration plate.

They correlate, name D.O.B. = identity + proof of address.

what do you mean? you tell them your name and DOB and they can cross check it against an address, over the radio? i don't think so.

and even if they can, how do they know it's your name and address?

well, nimhbus it's an incredibly unique idea and obviously no-one has ever tried it.

why don't you run a few reds in town and try your clever and foolproof plan out?

no, mate -why don't * you* tell me how they check, since it is you that asserted the idea that they can, with their magical powers.

of course people have tried it -tried it and got away with it, millions of times.

go on, tell me. how do they check?

and how do they do that then?
When they stop you they will ask you for proof of identity. In your wallet it is quite likely that you will have something that has your name on it, ie cash card, drivers license. what the fuck ever. If you refuse to cooperate said piggger has the right to take you to a police station. In the year of 2008 it is quite possible for said pigger, with his access to modern telcos and the like to establish weather you is talkin porky pies.

Bearing in mind that the penalty for your offense is a fixed fine of £30, & bearing in mind that your "mad skills" did not stop you getting caught. You would have to be a bell end of enormous proportions to not just fess up and pay. I have on a couple of occasions and no mistake. Oh & I most certainly is a zeplin sized bell end. Nimbus I'm not having a dig, try it and see. X

@ nim: you're not really cut out for this cycling lark, Shimano make some lovely fishing tackle...

ok. what is to stop you telling them you don't have a wallet or any form of ID with you, then?

and you don't appear to be cut out for dealing with the police

Think you're looking at a charge of vagrancy at that point.

and you don't appear to be cut out for dealing with the police

I don't have to.

I don't go blasting reds, especially with peds on them.

not like you do

Think you're looking at a charge of vagrancy at that point.

for not carrying a wallet? when out exercising on your bike? ridiculous.

I don't have to.

then you'd better bow to my superior knowledge, then.
