Counter productive policing

Where does this 'as a group' thing come from ?. Can you honestly justify stating that someone owning or driving a car automatically make them a law breaker or even killer ?

That is one interpretation of what very-near said. It's not what I read it as though.

If she ran a red light she broke the law and as a driver she is supposed to be able to cope with unfamiliar roads. Supposing she had knocked you off your bike or hit your car - how would you be reporting this incident now?

Agreed though, the PC does sound a bit of a pilllock.

It might have been a clumsy attempt at humour.

Indeed. It does sound like the sort of twattish thing someone might say (i.e., me) and then instantly regret it.

Perhaps my sympathy levels are a bit low at present. But, she jumped a red light and was done for it. No real issue. The rest of the story is simply a story.

I was referring to the whole population of motorists. Making a statement about a group as a whole is not the same as making a statement about any individual within that group, so I am at a loss as to where the implication in your second sentence came from.
