Re: Police cause SV650 to crash...
If I were either biker I don't think I would have made the two videos public without some good advice and where did the shots from behind the PC come from?. Perhaps I / we need to take a deeper look at the videos.

What exactly the muppet copper was thinking I have no idea. How he thought the correct way to pull a speeding biker (or any vehicle for that matter) was to step out in front of them I have no idea. If I was on the first bike having had to brake like that then get hit from behind i would be immensely not chuffed. Basically the copper was the cause of the accident, same as anything pulling out onto the road in front of fast moving traffic causing said traffic to emergency brake would be. I can think of no argument to support that being a safe way to pull someone over... |

Re: Police cause SV650 to crash...
If you look closely at around 20 seconds in, you can see two people standing behind the copper and a camera stand.
I personally think the copper was a total idiot. No justice was served. I feel bad for the first biker. Looks like the second bike took his left leg out and that must have hurt. |

Re: Police cause SV650 to crash...
id say the police took his video and probable used it to blame the rider and probable do him for dangerous driving as well

Although I don't know. Are the police legally obligated to provide video evidence of a crash you're involved in if they have it? |

In the US, Police can confiscate cameras if they are suspected to contain evidence. (which all these do) Is it the same in the UK??? Still seems a bit off to me as well. The copper was clearly the cause of the accident, stepping out in front of any speeding vehicle in the fog. But 90mph in the fog? Really? Two fools looking for an accident, the results were inevitable. Shame the cause didn't get to experiance a wee bit of the results.

Kn*bhead pedestrians jumping out in front of traffic are a real hazard.
