Post by: Supacabby on December 13, 2011, 16:44:16 PM: I disagree with Screamlead.

I've watched this twice. The camera man is in the wrong for jumping a red & should be dealt with accordingly...however the pc is unaware of the correct law/procedure & get's completely tongue tied which forces him to either lie or try to bluff his way out of the situation. It comes down to lack of training more than anything else, if the pc had been properly taught how to deal with people such as the cyclist then the man would have ended up with a ticket, simple as that.

I don't think the cyclist was making the documentary to be "clever" I think he was trying to wriggle out of a fine & it worked. Let's hope the pc received some extra instructions then next time he wont be made to look quite so stupid!

Still do not agree with the actions of such a pig-ignorant, arrogant twat of a police officer though.
