    Pulling over a biker "randomly' for the 5th time on his ride may tick all the boxes as far as the police are concerned, they may think it all "legal", and indeed the fact they brag about it demonstrates that is exactly how they think about it.

    Somehow, it just seems to me, to be police (proudly) stretching the law.
    David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

    I thought that the reasonable cause are the standing orders for Firering not for carrying or presenting.
