Ok...so the bloke is acting like a dick...agreed...but should not all police officers "know their law" and be "confident to use it"

Ok I accept that it's probably not possible for every officer to know every law...but surely he should know and be confident of the relevant law in question before he pulled the guy over?

Yes absolutely. Unfortunately it doesn't always happen though!

This is why I don't waste my breath entering into arguments. "Here's the fixed penalty Sir. If you want legal advice re traffic law go see a solicitor. If you want an argument go see the Magistrate."

One thing I have learned when dealing with th estrong arm of the law...usually they are right, and if you speak to them like human beings instead of assuming they are out to get you generally they treat you with respect, in fact even when some people deserve nothing less than a good kicking i have seen officiers still treat them with more respect than i felt they deserved.
If you do the crime and get pulled then take it on th chin.

I was out riding once when i took a bend wide and fast in town and ended up on the wrong side of the road...head on into a cop car...didnt hit it but almost. The guy would i am sure have been able to book me for something but he gav eme the talk..and even though I hav eridden more miles than he will ever do, instead of arguing and getting all offended, i said yes sir no sir three bags full sir and we both got on with our days...after all he was only doing the job I pay him to do as a voter etc...

Cops must have training on how to deal with 'customers' like in this video I guess??

oh...the joys of helmet cams...

still cannot understand why the cop grabbed the camera though...unless he had doubts as to what he had said and worried it would get used against him..which it prob would with this guy...

hmmm....anyway.....moving on..
