Saw a cyclist getting pulled over by an unmarked car last night

[CopperBrompton]

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.

Your bike matched the description of a stolen one, and they were checking it wasn't the one they were look-

Sorry, was dreaming there for a moment.

Policemen are never "off duty" only "off shift"

That good example of how to make a mountain out of a molehill; Policeman tells you to be careful, so you tell him to F'off

Adam, you are allowed to film from a public location.

I could hear the conversation they were having.

Too much time on your hands mate.

Too much time on your hands mate.

Maybe you are too busy. On some days I may have had plans and may not have had time to spare. On others, like that day, I had no further plans for the day and was able to take a 'rest' and listen in.

Lucky Gaz...

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

What do you mean by "they aint getting away with it"? Now, if someone walked up to my house with a camera I might take offense, but if I'm out in public, then a person has every right to film in a public place. The camera wasn't "stuck in his face". I suspect that if you told someone they should stop filming (in a public place) and then said they "weren't going to get away with it", you should not be surprised if the person filming took that as a real threat (I think I would), and maybe they'd preemptively knock you on your arse if you approached them?

Aye and it wasn't as if Gaz suddendly started filming. He was already doing so.

I actually reckon Gaz had stopped for a cig break

 

[PaulSB]

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.

I agree with you Adam but you won't find much sympathy out there for your view. Nor will you get a straight answer to the question.

Well we couldn't and we couldn't see anything either.

Before posting these things it may help if you preview them to find out what we can see and hear.

But what has this incident got to do with you? Maybe like a lot of these web cammers / wannabe police officers, you should throw the camera away and concentrate on your own riding.

Obviously I previewed it, and I knew you couldn't hear anything clearly, hence why I added an accurate description of what was said.

Steve, if you don't like these kind of things then don't watch them.

 

[steveindenmark]

You previewed it and could see that we couldn't hear it or see and still you posted it on here and on Youtube.

Then you added your own commentary.

I don't even think you can explain why you posted a clip which you knew we couldn't see or hear. Maybe it was just to show you have a webcam.

Just for future reference. Policemen are used to dealing with gobby members of the public. I should know. It is not film worthy, especially when you can't see anything.

I watch them in the hope that one day a web cammer will post something other than traffic doing what it does every day. Or maybe I will see a clip where some plank is not shouting out registration numbers where he thinks another vehicle has committed some misdemeanor, while all the time not concentrating on his own riding.

Whatever I watch them for there is no doubt that yours was a waste of time.
