Which might end up with arrests for public order offences. You're in public, you can be photographed.

I had one case where I stopped at an accident (Chavriolet pulled out of a junction into the side of an old couple's car)
As I had been a few yards behind, and seeing the Chavriolet's approach speed I had assumed he was going to pull out between me and the car, not into the car though.

The Chave was aggressive abut the whole thing so I stayed with the elderly couple.

Police arrived fairly promptly and when I told the Plice I had the whole thing on video and would hand in the SD card, Chav went of on another one threatening violence as I had filmed him.

Police told him that he opened his mouth again he would be intimidating a witness.

I know,but when someone sticks a phone/camera in my face they aint getting away with it......

I'm not sure how any of your comments are relative to the topic at hand. Considering nothing was shoved in anyones face.

So why did you feel the need to film someone getting a bollocking of a off duty policeman ? As i said i dont see how its anyone elses buisness.

He stopped to watch (as many of us might).
He happened to be wearing a camera that was filming.

I should think...

I don't think he was off duty, unless the police let their officers take their unmarked cars home?

The cyclist was a farking nob head of the first order. Why wouldn't you get it on camera?

Do you run away and hide?

Off duty? Unmarked does not mean off duty.

We should film the police at points, it makes them accountable for any actions that they take and to be fair to this officer, he was on the ball, correct and handled the situation well, unlike the cyclist.

Notice how I didn't get involved, I'm just a bystander, not getting in the way, not provoking.

i can't see the video very well on my phone but did you actually see him go over the stop line? Looks like he crossed from the pavement to the traffic island and then, when the traffic cleared, proceeded over the 2nd part of the road and on his way. I see nothing wrong with that. If that's what he did no wonder he told the cop where to go.

Cop car drafted me today near Waterloo then gave me a very searching look as they went past,then I overtook them again.Don't know what that was all about.

The cyclists didn't argue with what the office described as happening. and from what I could make of it, he approached the lights on the wrong side of the traffic island, into oncoming traffic. See here.

Which doesn't surprise me, I had previously seen the cyclist just ahead of me on another road and suspected he jumped a set of lights when I decided to hang back. As when I got to the lights and made the turn, he was no where in sight. That turn leads up to the approach as to where the video starts and if the cyclist did have a good road position, he should have been visible to me, he wasn't.
