Hampshire has a no pursuit policy on motorcycles, its not the case that we don't want to, its the case that we get told to stand down (believe me when i say how frustrating it is). Its the inspector in the control room who decides if we pursue a vehicle, car or otherwise.

Yeah, they have rights. But they DON'T have the right to nick someone's bike and then have the cheek to run around shouting 'You can't touch me'. They chose their fate at that point surely?
There's something seriously wrong with the way the law is interpreted in cases like this. Similarly, a previous thread on protecting your home with a spiked fence or barbed wire, seems perfectly reasonable to me. You don't cross that boundary, you don't get hurt.
