Teenagers who think they are right ? Now, where have I seen that before

Im personally not going to take it any further regarding the driver or the officer. How the officer handled the situation is in no way the standerd that it has been handled in the past.

The officer has show that he was legally and theoretically unaware of the rules laws in some areas incident(mainly the fact of how the camera works).
Also he has shown that he is either anti cyclist or that he does not know how to ride a bike safely.
(this was given by the i should not be in the middle of the road, we were talking about my cycling in general and no longer about the incident, this is why i believed to it have been a comment on my general cycling not the fact i came along side the car in the video.)

Disappointed about how the officer handled the reporting, not the result for the driver which some seem to not get!

From the link:

"The police or Crown Prosecution Service can give you a caution (warning) or a penalty notice if you commit a minor crime"

This helps Dan because he has not committed a crime, minor or otherwise.

Apart from harrasment, which is a crime and is what he has been given a warning for.

I'm sure he wasn't, what you've described is not a good thing. When I police officer is explaining to you how your heading towards a harrasment charge you should probably be listening and not trying to be right. The unfortunate truth is no-one in the real world really cares if you're right or not. They will care if you've got a conviction.

I can kinda remember the exact wording.

However what i do remember and clearly is that

This person can lose his job, or even just money, this is down to you reporting it to his company. This is harassment this is not your job to do.
Then as stated above i said my bit.

And saying your bit is a good way to talk yourself from an informal warning to a formal one. I'm not trying to get at you it's just that that kind of attitude is going to get you into trouble in the future if you keep it up.

It's just that when dealing with an adult policeman it doesn't matter if you are right or not. When dealing with your boss it doesn't matter if you are right or not. Hell even dealing with my wife it doesn't always matter if I'm right or not.
There is a time and a place to pick your battles and arguing with the police over filming people in their cars is not one of them.

I was talking to him formally and giving him the respect that an officer of the law deserves.
The fact i don't agree with him means i don't agree with him.

Having to have the last word, where have I seen that before too ! This is why you've 'hissed off' the Police.

Its the fact my cycling as a whole was brought into question. The fact of my age limits what i say and that rather than spoken to like an adult. i was told off like a teacher would a primary school child.

I have learnt for this experience like i always do.

Dont say anything just stare.
Dont report anything to the police. If its serious stick with not reporting it and try and persuade your self to report it. if you can its serious enough if not dont report it.

In your own postings?

I had an inkling this type of thread was coming from the OP by the way, when the OP started posting more frequently on here a couple of months back.

Anyone else see it?

So? Someone called your cycling into question. Does it matter... not in the slightest. Just be polite and listen to the bit that stops the police turning up at your front door again and carry on.
Also people in authority will talk down to you occasionally. Suck it up and get used to it because it won't change when you're an adult for quite some time.

I agree.
I just learnt it the hard way.
