mommysboy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I've seen videos of police nudge stationary bikes, thus knocking the rider to the floor to prevent further action, but I've never seen anything like this. It's extremely dangerous. I suppose it depends on the circumstances, eg, if he has just committed a dangerous crime then maybe it's justified, but it looks bad. Put it this way, if you or I did it we might expect to be brought to book. On the other hand, we see dangerous criminals shot having ignored warnings to surrender.

Geeer A tricky issue, but speed, and the safety of other road users are also in the mix. That bike was travelling at speed, anything could have happened. It's just too dangerous, and should only be reserved for extremely serious situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We grip when the police do not do their jobs, and now grip because they were doing their jobs. Letting the guy go, is not an option as he could have caused an accident further along the road, or commit another crime later as well. Going at speed when he would not stop is his problem and if he got injured by falling, Oh well! Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really depends on what crime the biker committed. If for instance he was involved in a suspected hit and run, then I guess the policemen are covered. If it's a minor violation, I imagine they could be in for an uncomfortable few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBJ Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 But it’s ok to stop a biker fleeing in other countries with police vehicles! Or was it the degradation of using his foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeray Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The pursuit was successful and probably necessary but watching the video made me think of the many high speed police chases that happen in North America to the detriment of innocents who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Fortunately, no innocent others got nailed in this chase. Good thing the "drop kick" put a fairly quick end to the chase. That was a pretty neat kick. Probably not his first time!

farcanell Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 What’s wrong with these guys? where were the helicopters? where were the back up cars? where were the road blocks? where were the road spikes? or sorry... thailand... where taking down the number plate and tracking down the offender at a latter date, doesn’t really work.... so.... they could have waited for the flying squad with their push/pull sticks, perhaps instead... needs must.... one lawbreaker apprehended, the BiB are 9n a run.

There may be justification here- we don't know yet. Police in London can not use force to stop criminals on mopeds if they are not wearing a helmet, the result of this policy is criminals pursued by police throw away their helmets and a very low arrest record. Offences involving violent crime on scooters and mopeds have rocketed in London. These are career criminals, attacking innocent people on a daily basis, I suggest your liberal sympathies are in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
