Sciurus Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 I heard this on radio 4 this morning but it didn’t say anything about starting to pursue riders who take their helmets off, but it is a start in the right direction.

Gordon R Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 I don't think many more will take off their helmet, in the vain hope that Police will deem it dangerous to pursue them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciurus Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Very impressive videos and effective too! I wonder how the police hierarchy will react if one of the moped riders gets hurt or even better - run over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy1950 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Good to see the fight being taken to the purps. I don`t care if one gets hurt, my only regret will be picking up the tab from the hospital treatment they will inevitably receive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr gen Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Great to see the police being able to do their job and use what ever at their disposal. These thieves should not be allowed to sue in anyway shape or form. Edited November 23, 2018 by Mr gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
