What a plonker. Push the police on that one, his pass at the start was very poor.

It's been sent to traffic to investigate after I complained.

Right, but he did not know that until you told him did he?

Yes, he initially thought I had made an inappropriate gesture towards him.

Do people need an excuse BRSU? I should imagine you look quite fetching in lycra with a helmet cam.

Strangely he never noticed the helmet camera, even when he stood right next to me after he came back while I was on the phone to the Police.

Hmmm, why a public order offence Angel? Could it be that it's offensive and/or can cause offence to people?

You could be shouting "milkfloat", after a while it will become a public nusance. Nothing more than that.

just so you know the police wont take action unless they have 100% chance of getting a prosecution, this is what my friend said whos in the police force, bassically they are being told minor offences are wasting police time and money and so to just give verbal warnings when members of public report offences to you, unless they are major offences like GBH of which they have to be looked into.

so sorry to say i dout anything come of this other than a letter in post to the guy if they know his reg and maybe a verbal warning.

This is precisely why they were given powers to hand out fixed penalty notices and to seize vehicles in the Police Reform Act and other legislation. Why can't they just say that they are short of resources instead of making these excuses.

Even more reason to take it to the press (NOT the daily wail!)
