RLJing cyclist outsmarts copper

[Bicycle]

I had a brief look at a few of his other postings, all under the same generic heading.

He seems (to my untrained eye) to set up confrontations with PCSOs and police officers over quite trivial issues and make a stand on issues and principles that are of no concern to the rest of humanity.

I think he was given too little attention as a child.

Or too much....

what he needs is for somebody to wordlessly deliver a falcon punch to his crotch.

What a complete tool the cyclist is. He clearly wasn't liked at school and was bullied by girls. What's funny is that he's posted this obviously thinking he's Bertie Big Bo**ocks and when he's realised what a plank it makes him look he's made it private!

Thanks to whoever has posted it again for the world to see what an idiot he is.

URGH, Just seen it

Danny, c'ome man

No assault I'm afraid. He made a grab for the cyclist to arrest/detain, has various legal rights to do so.

Isn't he suposed to read him his rights first?

I thought if the perp (watching too many American shows ) was going to run away etc they put the handcuffs on them first then read them the rights.

What are these rights of which you speak? Probably something that our American cousins know about but not here in Blighty.

In the UK, the gentleman would have been cautioned if he were arrested. Having been arrested he would then have been conveyed to the custody suite in the local nick.

On arrival at the nick the arresting officer would explain the reason for the arrest to the custody officer, who would then either authorise detention or not as appropriate.

If detention was authorised our man would have had the process of arrest, detention and statutory rights explained to him, he may be given an information sheet which explains his rights in detail.

The exact process may vary from nick to nick I guess but I think that covers it in the general case.

I take it you've never been arrested then

I can honestly say I haven't ever been arrested - however there are other ways of gaining that information... I leave you to work them out

Strictly speaking you don't have to be arrested to be cautioned. If you are asked questions as a suspect in an offence that relate to that offence you should be cautioned that "you do not have to say anything etc" because obviously your answers to such questions could become evidence against you.

Police officers are individuals and have their own style when speaking with the public. Some can be officious some can be overly friendly, some can be quite obnoxious, a bit like the rest of society!

However to expect them to remember word perfect act and sections on all the laws they enforce is ridiculous.

This incident could have been handled better (with hindsight) by both parties. But I still think Danny is a knob

Besides anyway, I was merely asking a question, not stating a fact.

At least sadjack has answered my question.

Looking back at your original question I probably did not!

If the officer had decided to arrest Danny for whatever reason, whether he had asked questions or not, he could take hold of him and arrest him, (and if they were not rolling a round struggling ) then caution him.

No two scenario's are the same but the basic idea is that you should be cautioned prior to being questioned about an offence you are suspected of committing. In my view that does not include basic details such as name and address, but about the actual offence itself.

Cheers for that

Has no-one considered that it may have been a setup
