Stopped by Police?

what more like this

"right Ted"

haha who was it that got stopped jumping a red and mid way through the coppers "your lucky im busy" talk noticed the massive fuck the police sticker on their rear disc wheel and fined them instead?

:D

I'm pretty sure that was Crane

it was
and then he changed it to somthing along the lines of putos el policias.

haha yeah that was me, i didn't RLJ i was just jammin on the pavement and they saw it as they stopped at the lights. i didn't get fined though, they just confiscated my herbal grinder, and removed the lettering.

it was changed to "putos policias" i actually saw the same coppers a week or 2 after and they saw it but did nothing because it was spanish, or because they couldn't be bothered to hassle me again

Are anti police stickers illegal??

only if the police that see them are feeling bored or want to hassle someone.

its all such a grey area with police they can pretty much do what the want when they want

I was YouTube - Supergrass - Caught By The Fuzz (live)
last week having jumped a red. When asked whether I was an idiot or something, I stupidly said I hadn't noticed it. His response was "Well, I can do you for jumping a red light or riding with undue care and attention. Which is it?"

Rather embarrassing being told off at my age.

my m8 got caught and had some huge fine

@TT you should have replied "you should respect your elders young man"

although saying that would have pissed them off more.

you have to know how to deal with police, and lots of people don't and thats why they get fined/nicked.

swearing is a public order offence, but they will only do you for it if you repeatedly swear at them. generally they give you a warning along the lines of "swear at me once more and i'll nick you uder the public order act" in which case you need to shut the hell up

I intentionally jumped a red in front of a copper this morning for fun, just because I knew it would be really risky/dangerous for them to follow me through the line I was taking, and I was feeling in a cuntish mood.

my m8 got caught and had some huge fine

Great story.

Got any more like that?

I was stopped in an asl with another dude on a bike. Light goes green and I make a move to head off. As I do so, the other dude says something like 'coppers behind us mate'. True enough, there is a police van behind us. I am suddenly racked with doubt and confusion, look again at the light, which I am sure is green, and say 'but, but, the light is green?'. Eventually, we both go on our way.

I have also been busted for 30squid for going through a light. Copper jumps out into the road and does the whole shouting-stop-with-arm-in-the-air-palm-towards-you thing. He was very nice about it, but the process for paying the ticket is something ridiculous like leaving your bank details on an answerphone.

I went to a wedding in the city about 6 months ago and had the bike outside. I was unlocking as a city police went passed. I then hopped on, wobbled througha green man and heard aforementioned bobby shouting "STOP". I realised I had just cycled through a pedestrian crossing, in front of a policeman after drinking a lot of beer, champagne and a couple of tequilas. He asked me why i had gone thruogh the light, then as soon as i opened my mouth asked me if i had been drinking. I think saying "No of course not occifer" while wobbling didn't go down too well. He threatened me with doing me for drunk in charge of a bicycle. After some "YEs sir, no sir" he then relaxed and told me to fuck of in a taxi and he'd be following me via cctv.

and he'd be following me via cctv.

lol. what on his Iphone?

You should reliably inform the police that swearing at them is exempt from the provisions of Section 5 of the Public Order Act, as it is a defence that "The defendant had no reason to believe that there was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be alarmed or distressed by his action."

The CPS, ACPO and higher courts have gone on record to state that a Police constable will may not be likely to be alarmed or distressed by naughty words.

They'll really hate you if you spout that at them.

It's true. In White and Others v. Chief Constable of South Yorkshire and Others, the court held that police officers were men and women of "extraordinary phlegm" and as such, would be "hardened to events which would to ordinary persons cause distress".

Phlegm. What a marvellous word.

So basically, they're saying the pork are made of snot......interesting.

A good Police story...just to balance my Karma.

Years ago, I was working as a courier for Chaingang. I'd just had my main Mo'bike run over by a van, so was passing the time lording it around on a Honda C90. Honda C90's are amongst the coolest things ever invented...not only are they indestructible (prooven)and cost less to run than a bicycle but they also have 17inch wheels, thus enabling the fitting of old and ludicrously sticky rubber from my then 125 race bike.

So anyway, it was summer and my skills were sharp....I could flick that little bitch on its side in a nano-second and wallow/grind my way through turns with impugnity. I could rev out when changing from first to second and abuse the little clutch into pinging up long and balanced wheelies (albeit at pushbike speed)...in all senses of the word, I was a little twat.

Hurtling, flat out, down the mall and into the lefthander in front of buckingham palace one blissfully sunny, friday afternoon, I hurl her down and commence the long grind around the corner, sparks flicking from the footrests. About half way through the turn, I look left and see a taxi moving right to push me wide...I begin to drift....looking right I see a long wet stripe of gak on the 'mac that I just cannot avoid....further right is another stream of traffic so no hope to stand it upright....

So I hit the dreaded diesel and loose it big time....the front folds but miraculously grips again but the rear is already halfway to W2 and just not coming back ...with only enough time to enunciate a garbled.."FUuuuuuuu" it grips and spits me about 5 foot up in the air, straight over the top and down hard on my back in the middle of the road, about 4 foot from 2 plod, and a large group of frantically snapping japanese tourists.

Lying, completely winded (and fairly dazed and confused) plod comes running over, shouting AMBULANCE...CALL AN AMBULANCE...to his colleague. I realise, I'm basically OK but everytime I try and speak, only an asmatic sucking noise emerges, further stoking his panic. After about a minute, I finally manage to pull in a huge gasp of london luft and manage to de-lid and choke out that I'm fine.

In the meantime, a crowd has gathered and is taking photos, ALL the traffic turning left off the mall has had to stop and left a morass of beeping angry drivers halfways back to traf sq. My faithful C90, has left a pool of juice on the road and a gash in my knee is gupping claret.

Amid the mayhem, Plod whip out the TCP, give me a bandage, help me bend my footrests and handlebars straight and help me on my way with nary a document check or producer mentioned.

All in all, pretty embarassing but I think I'm still probably the only person to have ever highsided a C90.

Soz for long story - systems broken at the office so nowt else to do! ;)

lol, are those the pizza bikes the c90's?

lol, are those the pizza bikes the c90's?

yup! ;)

Chapeau! (or couvercle)

just been stopped by city police on fleet st / chancery lane junction. £30 fine and usual line about having to scrape up my brains. I was going at walking pace and didn't move until traffic coming the other way had stopped and green man on ped crossing had also gone. must have been a second early.
police then gave me nice lecture about benifits of wearing a helmet. he was a helmet.. rant over... till i get to the pub...

Got stopped 2 days ago and fined £30 for rolling through a red on an near empty road by a cop who "Doesn't like to hand out these fines". Gave me the whole "You have the right to remain silent.." shebang aswell. Absolute, utter c*nt.

i have a c90 sitting on my drive that i got given becuase a mate owed me some money but didnt have it. aparently its in working condition but ive never ridden it or have a liscence to. i keep thinking about turning it into a dirty cafe racer rat bike, albeit with a tiny engine. but alas i know nothing about engines or what it takes to make somthing like that road legal/safe.

does anyone know much about motorbikes that i can talk about this to?

Cabbies used to use them for doing the knowledge ...

Was he arresting you? Otherwise, why the caution?

Nope, he didn't arrest me. I didn't bother asking, just assumed it was protocol.

"Right to remain silent" that sounds way off the mark to me. The police can arrest you, talk to you and then unarrest you before sending you on your way. But only for a pretty good reason not for fine I would say.
Maybe he is fake, tapping up cyclists for 30 queens a pop to feed a crack habit.
