Sorry but traffic droid has me in fits of laughter regardless of the serious point he's trying to make and his bikes kitted out better than the millenium falcon . One thing that really confuses me and being a recent returner to cycling is that huge pole on the front ok all the other cameras have a point but why have one looking at you on a piece of plumbers pipe surely that is dangerous . I wish this bloke would come to Manchester I'd sneak into the ASL just to be red carded and him say your busted . Nice bloke ? seems it ,mad as a box of frogs ? probably but long may he keep entertaining in his own unique way

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.

because the cyclist behavior reflects on all of us, and because like it or not our individual behavior is part of a whole, so it is our business if we chose to know.plus its fun to watch someone get theirs lol

Well agree to disagree because that's not my idea of fun.

I think I'm going to try pulling over cars.

Amd then when they ask why, just saying "ohhh....nothin'"

I was always taught to be polite and co-operative with the police and it has served me well.

Saw the aftermath of a cyclist pulled over by an unmarked car today. I think he gave abuse to a unmarked cop car that had cut him up but the cop said otherwise and stuck his blues and two's on. We were then treated to a half hour annimated display by the cyclist as he tried to explain his action/ the situation to the cop. I wish I'd had a video camera could have sold the footage for a fortune

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

You certainly cannot, if you don't consent it is illegal. I'm sure you will or someone else will be along to tell me I am wrong.

So what you saw is a "police officer" abusing his "authority" and did nothing? Report it, if it happened as you say it happened what he did was illegal - not only in the "driving" but the power trip he went on.

You're wrong

In particular the "You can't take my picture..." bit.

You're wrong. There can be no expectation of privacy in a public place.
If someone continued following you and taking your photo after you had asked them to desist, then you may have a case for harassment, but taking someone's photo in public without their consent is legal.
