ShootingEgg Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 And now news story saying that some are being investigated by IOPC. Thatscthe end of that tactic then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 I'm a bit hesitant to suggest this but with a bit of luck it will become standard policy to not try to avoid maiming scum that are using scooters to rob people. That would be more likely to effectively prevent them from doing it again than the petty sentencing they'd probably get by being considerate towards them.

Mice! Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Just watched it, its about time they stopped being so soft. But I hope they don't get an innocent moped rider by mistake because someone will be getting sued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the police hierarchy will react if one of the moped riders gets hurt or even better - run over? The Tactic seems to be well thought out , a little "tap" then brake hard , the chance of running over the scrote is very low . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol p Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Do you know, i really want to revel in this and laugh at the chavvy scum. But I can't. My nephew has just been involved in an accident where someone knocked him off of his motorcycle on the way home from work. As result he was badly injured breaking a hand, arm and leg. They took his leg off because the trauma was extensive. He is 37 with two young kids and a mortgage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatureBoy Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Agree with you there PP!! They maybe cirms. But i think that footage would make most of us that ride feel uneasy! Lost mate and lifetime biker last week to car driver who took him out rather than hit another car! NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should think about the consequences before they go out robbing people. The people they rob and attack often have kids and mortgages.

With regards to the moped ####er$ I think the police have been to soft on them to a point where the police are now getting attacked. So they need to be tougher.

They also rely on the fact that people will take soft handed approach with them when they commit crime so it makes it low risk for them. They don’t like it back at em.

Fuddster Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 100% agree with taking the fight to thieving, robbing little.... Should a suspect die as a result of a 'hard stop' by police-will we see a return of the disorder that spread through London after a Police contact death? Does the means justify the ends? I wonder if the 'about time/gloves off/getting a spine' commentators and the wider public will continue to support such pro-active tactics. if the IOPC has its way it'll be banned next week and officers will be back letting helmet-less riders escape as the pursuit policy deems it too dangerous. Is that what we, the public, want our Police to do? f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 This is why the police can never win, they're criticized for being too soft, then when they tackle the issue, some people criticize them for being over the top, they just can't win with some people.

getthegat Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hopefully it may make some of the thieving little creeps, think twice. Just hope some goodie two shoes, interfering idiot, doesn't decide it's to dangerous for the poor misguided lads on the mopeds and gets it stopped. Get some bull bars on a few 4x4 pickups, black and aggressive looking, let the boys in blue fight back for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 The argument for getting innocent scooter riders doesn’t really hold up as the police must pursue with lights and sirens for at least a short period of time before engaging, I doubt very much that they just ram the first scooter rider that they clap eyes on. The little a scrotes in the video were obviously fully aware of the situation and were trying their hardest to avoid the police. We need more of this kind of police action.

Whatmuff Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) This is amazing. Increase my taxes so we can get more hardened police cars. And if they could make the footage into a sat night film that would be great. Edited November 24, 2018 by Whatmuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
