which would you call yourself if someone asked you to choose?

**prepares tar and feathers**






but seriously, considering the number of bellends they seem to find every week it's only a minority that appear on the show...






the rest of us can outrun them:cool:

Biker at the mo .... I am restricted still due to my off so am not active and do not feel like a copper due to the work I am doing. I wear the uniform but thats about it.

Still wear my leathers and getting out there ..... is that the right answer LOL

Well they are only going to show the morons as they are interesting viewing. Not all teenagers are chav's in Nova's tearing up the streets at 2 am robbing grannies (why are grannies out at 2am?) at knife point, but you get that feeling watching some programs.

Imagine following that bloke who said he never speeds and records other riders, how dull would that TV be.

I call it 'Daily Mail/Mirror/Sun' TV, its just scare tactics to get you hooked into the story.

I think he weighed it on the police issue calibrated scales!! :rolleyes:

As for the idiot with the tinted windows (copper - not driver or husband)... WTF? Jumped up jobsworth.

aye it's a repeat - think it was first broadcast in march '08... range rovers! ********s the lot of em

Mr Speirs 05-01-09 09:35 PM
Re: Traffic Cops NOW
 
I thought that too. 600kg??? I think not.

Also the Horse owner clearly stated that the Motorcyclist was on his own side of the road. Then braked which sent him onto the otherside of the road. So he wasn't riding on the otherside of the road. But for him to then turn around and say he forgot is a bit weird.

Quite usual in trauma victims. Jason (wrote his pan euro off at NW3) couldn't remember what happened properly for at least a week.

I was gobsmacked when the witness stated the rider was on the correct side of the road & the cop contradicted the witness!

where's the local biker cafe in east yorks?

I thought these propaganda type programs were meant to show coppers in a good light and build respect for them?

What about buell guy? Why did he let car driver keep up? Why not just boot mirror off and sod off sharpish like normal?

and what does "Calib Required" mean?

Speedo on the bike needs calibrating for video.

Paul the 6th 05-01-09 09:44 PM
Re: Traffic Cops NOW
 
would that affect the validity of the tape if it was to be used in a speeding case? And how often does the video equipment need re-calibrating to the speedo on the bike - everytime the bike goes back on duty or every couple of weeks?

I suppose but there wasn't really a massive trauma he just slid from what I understand. But hey wasn't there didn't see it.

I believe the video couldn't be used to prosecute for a speeding conviction in a court of law. Don't know how often it needs to be calibrated.

But why would you send out a Hayabusa to catch speeding motorcyclists when the evidence couldn't be used???
