    Whilst that I agree that there are some rogue elements everywhere (including the police – corruption – Phone hacking scandal /consulting association information scandal etc etc) the level of menace attempting to be raised by quoting all the laws as described above is a little disconcerting.
    The style of law enforcement in this country has become much more aggressive recently than the past more passive/reactive approach and is hinting at the future further militarisation of this country into everyday life.

    When the private security firms embed themselves further into the security services in this country than they already are we as private citizens have lost the control.
    The nature of the self serving/expanding business they are in will take over.
    I predict within 5 to 10 years there will be a private security man with a Blackwater/G4 or similar badge on with a warrant card walking the streets instead of a police officer.

    Now the Humour:
    Motorcyclists just by existing are also terrorists, London summer 2011 rioters, a risk to the capitalist state in general. However they a major source of extra revenue to the state in many different ways not just as normal tax payers but also paying their car and bike insurance, MOT’s, road fund licences, council tax, insurance tax, Fuel duty & VAT on everything.

    Hence throw all the laws you can think of at them as there is some more cash to be squezzed out of them and they are an easily pillorisied/identifi


    ed minority (mainly white) that has no protective legislation for them and make them the scapegoat/bogeyman focus to distract the rest of the population of the real issues in this insane society we have created!

    However a person in an uninsured red diesel run car/van with no tax, MOT driving whilst using a phone, whilst under the influence of substances with 13 different identities with some stolen cable/copper/electri


    cal goods in the back is left alone as the law cannot touch them or no money potentially to be extracted from them as locking them up costs the taxpayer!

    Not that anybody in a car has ever aggressively overtaken/forced their way to the front of a queue of traffic, run red lights, caused accidents, killed other road users of all types, old codgers driven at 40mph in a 30,50,60 thinking that they are driving safely without using any observation at any time at all!

Police video cameras focus on bikers

POLICE in East Yorkshire are using video cameras during a motorcycle safety campaign to help catch careless and dangerous riders.

Humberside Police have re-launched their annual summer safety drive in a bid to reduce the number of motorcyclists injured or killed on the regions’ roads.

It comes as figures show seven motorcyclists have been injured on East Yorkshire’s roads so far this year.

During the campaign, the East Riding Roads Policing Team will be patrolling the popular riding routes, which attract motorcyclists over the summer months, using an unmarked motorcycle.

The Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle is fitted with tiny video recording cameras and average speed detection equipment to help them catch careless and dangerous drivers. Its role is to capture evidence on film and then when the offender is stopped he or she is able to view the footage on a monitor.

The offender is then either prosecuted if serious offences are revealed, or sent on a RIDE diversion scheme if the offences are of a more minor nature.

The campaign was launched at the weekend – and eight offenders were caught on Sunday.

Simon Carlisle, casualty reduction officer for East Yorkshire said: “Out of the 77 people injured as a result of road traffic collisions so far this year, seven have been riders of motorcycles, representing nearly ten per cent.

“This is still a concern given that motorcycles only represent two percent of traffic on our roads.

“Another problem is antisocial riding and harassment by motorcyclists.

“On Sunday I saw a number of vehicles on the A614 moving onto the verge to allow motorcycles to pass as they were following far too close to be safe.

“I saw another motorcyclist make an inappropriate gesture to a car driver as he did not bow down to this bullying and remained in a safe position on the road.

“We receive weekly complaints from motorists in relation to this type of behaviour.

“These riders are giving a bad name to those law-abiding riders that enjoy our roads safely.

“It should be remembered by these riders that this is not only an offence of careless driving under the Road Traffic Act, but also an offence of causing alarm, harassment or distress under the Public Order Act.

“They may also have their vehicle seized under the Police Reform Act.

“Officers will not tolerate this sort of behaviour, and will be patrolling on the unmarked motorcycle and in unmarked cars to detect and deal with these offences.”
