Angry Biker Cop

He wasn't interested in my identity, and I wasn't detained for more than 15 minutes.

Is 15 minutes a "rule of thumb" or can would I be able to legally ride away if detained longer?

you don't need his badge number. You have the location, time and date etc.... just write in asking for an explanation. Would be very interested in hearing their repsonse.

the only reason he can detain you on the side of the road up to a maximum of 15 mins (with out arresting you) is for the sole purpose of getting your identity. Once you hand you license over to him you have lawfully, fully identified yourself.

your detention was fully illegal.

I think.

my understanding is he has to tell you that he is detaining you to ascertain your identity,if he doesn't even do that he has no right to detain you.

my lawyer once told me once you have given them the details just tell them "i am leaving now" and go,they will have to arrest you to stop you.

The other day I filtered up next to a cop and had a chat in the traffic. Nice guy too.

Badge number? TV has a lot to answer for.

Not really but being assigned to those duties would piss me off more than getting kicked in the nuts.

Surely you're not suggesting hearing both sides of the story?

He said words to the effect of "You, I'm talking to you. Move off to the side of the road. Now. Over there. You are rude. These cars have been waiting longer than you have. Move. Now. Don't move again until I tell you."

**Despatch** · 8th February 2009, 21:46

I'm sure he was having a bad day. Perhaps he can go home and kick the cat or something. Leave me out of it.

I agree bit a of a bitch that cop., I certainly won't be taking that sort of lip.

However, going as far as making a formal complaint about him being a little bitch?

I think we're taking being P.C. a little too far here...
