yeh m8 saw that....
theyve been doing it for a while round here and in wales....
quote "radio ahead so other officers can intercept offenders"
thats how they got me lol
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
unmarked fireblade (riding like a tw@) radioed ahead to a parked officer & was waiting with the gun ready aimed waiting til i came into view.
saw on a few telly progs where they were joining rides and doing that, radioing ahead so as to not give themselves away.
i suppose it's all good & proper as long as there's no baiting going on... if theyre coming alongside egging you on then technically that's aiding & abetting an offence, which carries penalties just the same as the actual offence. and points.
like it says in the article... good way to further alienate police riders from the community.
there is a hardcore of nutters who give us all a bad name but (mostly) everyone i know rides sensibly & within their limits & knows there is a time & a place
incidentally, it only takes a neighbour to complain
once about you revving your bike and you can get a section 59 - anything that can be construed as causing annoyance.
2 complaints and it's impounded - it then gets a cat B and cant be put back on the road.
there is a young lad over the road from me with a rev n rip with an expanny pipe, works shifts and is up & down the close all day on it. he's not doing anyone any harm but it's only a matter of time til someone makes an anonymous call
yet... if you're reading, how have you got on with this>??? been summonsed yet?
