Police Pull Cyclist Over/ Interesting Watch

Lol

F-----g know-it-all pillock -- why knock on only the police car window? I, for one, would rather have the police on the side of cyclists, so to go around winding them up, then post it on the internet, is totally counter-productive.

Is that was happens when you get a helmet cam?

I'm glad I can't afford one.

Does anyone know what road this is? there is a sign at the start of the bus lane which we can't see in the video but will tell us if any of those vehicles are legally allowed to be in it at any point.

Its the Road trough the middle of the meadows in Edinburgh
Edit Google might be out of date it was a cycle lane in 2011
Edit 2: Its not; its a part time bus lane

In all fairness if it does turn out that they were in there illegally then I hope you all sham them police officers. Very piss poor of them if so. Granted the cyclist used the wrong approach but if right well hes right. The police should have been giving out tickets to all of them cars in that bus lane not joining them. In a case of such they prob could have called for another car. £60+ each car- they would have made their moneys worth.

I came across a police car in an ASL on Friday morning (didn't see if he entered it on a Red light or not).... I looked at the officer in the passenger seat, he looked at me, I looked down at the ASL... he knew what I was getting at. I turned away and didn't look at him again.

As I thought, now all we need to know is what time and what day it happened.

'I've got you on camera' - might make that my new catch phrase.

Remember, occasionally people used to punch Jeremy Beadle !

Given the amount of newsprint given over to complaints about bus-lane cameras, and the fines they generated, in Edinburgh earlier this year, I'd be surprised if the bus-lane was actually operational at the time.

Embra polis seem to have gone a bit soft in recent years

 

[Hip Priest]

A self-righteous moron creating an incident out of nothing. The policeman should've coshed him.

 

[avalon]

Entertaining. I'd like to know how it all endes.

Absolutely, they lost face a bit as they never did get his details and let him ride off. If the arrogant knob had done that in the "good old days" he would have been thrown in a cell to reconsider his attitude. Is this really what we call progress? The guy is a complete and utter to55er.

I'm guessing that the legal-encyclopaedia-on-a-bike was only being asked for his details because he'd failed the "attitude test" and the officer wanted to inconvenience him, or put the wind up him in some way.

The cyclist is not going to win any friends with an attitude like that and is always going to find trouble when actively seeking it out.
