Seems the officer at hand does not share the same opinion. I doubt this was representative of the polices view as i talk to the police when i see them on the street alot as i enjoy talking to them. They seem to think the camera idea is good. Where i draw the line is.... i dont go looking for these people, im enjoying the ride... its not my fault they find me and i happen to have a camera.
Where's the original reference to her gone?
I read it earlier, thought that's who may have been meant, you had it confirmed but by that time I'd forgotten what the original quote said so I had a look at for it and can't seem to find it. Thanks for listening

are you sure this was a policeman?"This chap (Bicycle Dan) had to backpedal on a Youtube piece that he'd titled as47mph in a 30 when asked about it by the (Horrid) Police. Turns out it was nearer 30mph but he...
i changed it becuase of the fact the officer took the video at face value then chucked a load of charges at me like cycling furiously of which he could charge me with. Willing to pursue this but not being on phone, hypocritical i think (I place the charge in the same area but with a car on the phone i rate it higher but on the same level). However the fact was, it was a poly for YouTube to attract viewers to that particular video. I changed the title and information due to the fact if the police took it at face value who else would then use this exaggerated video to dismiss me.
Cycling furiously is a thing..... however the post above lines with the scare tactic. It was an explanation to why i changed the video.
I'm guessing it's been deleted then, oh well, thanks to my aging and befuddled mind I now have no idea whether I should be offended or not, perhaps I should be offended that a teenager has decided that I may be offended, or maybe I should be grateful.I saw it and found it slightly grim. It may still be there (a page or so back) but there has been a pattern of wiping and revisionism lately from some elements of the Angry-Rant Film & Report Mob. Not that I'd put Bicycle Dan under that heading. No way. Seems a lovely chap.
The young chappie from Wales who sounds Welsh but despises the Welsh (and the poor) has seen the light and removed much of his Shoutathonic, Pious-Lawbringer, Self-appointed Judge Judy & Executioner stuff from Youtube. It was time for the light of reason to be seen there... But it took an avuncular word from a (Welsh) policeman to get action.

So revisionism is all the rage.
This angry teenage stuff is lots of fun and I dare say we'd all have been self-righteous camera vigilantes at their age had the technology existed.... But I do feel for the more adult and restrained end of the helmetcam spectrum who may rightly feel that the webscream barmies are queering the pitch just a little.
I hope I have helped.... I fear I have not.
I have to put a new chain on my fixie this evening... so I apologise if that task has made me sound in any way grumpy or judgemental.
