[KZNSeagull]

Yup

 

[melias shoes]

Yes

Seems a good idea to me. The **** on the bike is endangering lots of peoples' lives as well as their own. The police are only keeping people safe. The moped driver is already endangering their own life by driving recklessly.

Fair game. Only issue is that the scooter seems roadworthy. After knocking the rider off the scooter and arresting them, there should be many more accidents as the car manoeuvres, which regrettably mean the scooters become a write off.

Like this idea.

 

[goldstonegull]

Good, and just for good measure run the ******** over as well.

Although it was probably stolen from a completely innocent third party?

Ok - then add in another step: check on the database to see if it's reported stolen.

Should run over the scum and then reverse back over just to make sure the jobs done!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'd like to say something in the defence of the young lads on the stolen mopeds.



But I can't.

I'd like to see a few of these deployed, while we're at it:

 

[Badger]

Yep.

Then they should cut off their goolies.

 

[Stat Brother]

Ridiculous absolutely psychotic behaviour by the police.
Christ almighty sure the moped rider shouldn't have nicked the handbag/purse whatever, but it's only a bloody crappy piece of pointless 21st century consumerist tat.
Hardly worth paralyzing or god forbid killing a young lad who's made a wrong choice more than likely because he's been let down by the country who should be protecting unfortunates like him.




tehe

 

[Hampster Gull]

Good

 

[Driver8]

Can’t they start deploying neck high stingers as well? That should slow them down a bit.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

tehe

 

[Ernest]

I remember a local politician who was quite keen on knocking people off their bikes so it's probably Tory party policy

 

[Seasidesage]

Perhaps the army could lend them a few tanks for the job?

Are you serious? check the database ? in most instances its either not displaying a plate or is on false plates.
They are not randomly knocking people off, its only with known intelligence on the rider and after they have failed to stop of there own accord.

 

[Stat Brother]

I wish I had the balls to have not included that!
