But there is a whole lot more to this than just the speed or manner or riding. The belief that this elusive plate should exist? The attitude of the rider? Any comments from the rider? Any existing intel relating to the use of the vehicle? Nothing on the rider to negate the Officer's claims despite the fact it's his responsibility to prove his license?

In my opinion the copper who seized the bike believes in only one thing, and that's in his own importance.

Fair enough.
