Anything you can do

Found this on English group. Anything you can do I can do better cause I
am a policeman

How the coppers figure that the rider of the camera bike is
any less of an idiot than the one up front is a question that
I'd be keen to see answered. They're both equally mad, they
would go well in a cell together.

Have you watched the video at the bottom of the page Moike? How
does that constitute a "planned, sensible response". It seems
more like a doubling of the risk to citizens to me, with two
motorcyclists riding dangerously instead of one. There really are
two sets of rules.

Larger, can seek back/forth through it.

The sentence was too lenient.

I would have given him 240 hours of unpaid "community service"
entailing going out with police to attend road fatalities (especially
those involving motorcycles) to "assist" accident investiagators, I'd
have banned him from riding (or pillioning) motorcycles for at least
five years, made him wear a "bracelet", and given him a suspended
five year sentence. If he reneged on any of his conditions, he'd be
in the slammer pronto.

Oh, have I told you? I don't like hoons. They give motorcyclists a
bad rep and endanger innocent lives. Would I be a hanging judge?
Nah... Hanging's a waste of free hard labour for road gangs improving
our roads. Longer sentences and more road building, I say.. And
I'm not talking about mechanised labour either. I'm talking about
manual rock-breaking and such

Have a nice day now, y'all...


Onya bike...

Nah, sentence him to ride in Sydney peak hour traffic in summer.

 

I personally didn't see the motorcyclist lose control or die so maybe
the risk wasn't that great. The copper on the camera bike took much
greater risks and should be banned for life.

'
But they didn't catch him till later

and was that a Triumph he was riding ??

 

idiot or not... one was breaking the law, one was enforcing the law.

so in the policeman the idiot or the law maker?

mh
(not say either right... havent made up my mind yet)

 

Tell us again about the time you clocked a speeder at over 80ks, G.

: )

 

goto 6:18 and watch the copper almost kill another biker

I am no longer sitting on the fence

mh

 

Agreed. First sensible piece of law enforcement I've seen reported in
ages. I wish we had people like that running our cops.

JL
(oh yeah, that's right - we do /did - shame he didn't change the
culture then)

 

And doesn't he say the first biker almost had a head-on with another
biker? My experience is that it is far harder, and more dangerous, to
follow some-one through traffic than to lead. You have less gaps and
take more risks. Did you like the part where he says "He undertook a
car" (English-speak for passed on te left) and then passed the same
vehicle on the left whilst lane-splitting at 100 mph.

Never was a fence for me after viewing the video.

Theo

 

None of the above.
Politicians make. Magistrates and judges enforce. Police police.

Couldn't have been - you have all their motors in your shed don't you ?

 

I haven't got one for knobless

 

I was not suggesting that the police was racing just that almost every
dangerous manoeuvre that the rider did the policeman did with less room
(more dangerously)

 

I loved this bit: "Since Sussex Police took delivery of a number of
unmarked bikes, the number of motorcyclists caught breaking the law on
our roads has increased dramatically."

In the context of the pursuing cop behaving slightly more stupidly than
the perpetrator, that's choice, that is.

 

oh shut up!!!

hows the bike?
