Yeah, he had the "Police" Markings on his jacket and bike, but they were old, like they had a decade ago, in small writing than they do now, and small black and white chequers on the bike, nothing like they do now (large blue and white chequers?) The blue light was much smaller and on a shorter pole.
Worst thing was him making like a copper and giving hand signals to pass people, etc. - very naughty.
In contrast, I passed a paramedic on Friday, on the right bike (Pan, I think) liveried very well, really bold and noticeable, big presence, ridden carefully, guy had a flip up (aren't they standard police issue on their bikes now?!) helmet, right sort of blue light. I can't imagine that a real bike copper would go out like that, or act like that, as he'd know that people wouldn't think he was real.
