[Brighton] Moped gangs

Everything shit about London eventually makes it way down here.

That just mentions aims and plans. It hasn't become law yet, so in the meantime, if a criminal dies as a result of being chased on a bike, the police chasing can still be charged.

Being charged is not the same as them not being able to do it. Presumably it depends on the severity of the crime. Chasing someone who's not wearing a helmet, because they ran a red light, might seem over the top. Chasing someone who just pulled out a gun and killed someone however, would seem fair.

Can be a purely commercial motive if they think other couriers are muscling in on their territory,for example.Doesn't excuse the behaviour,but it might not just be wanton vandalism.

I was wondering that ... like the ice cream van wars

I recall better what happened. This group had chased an expensive looking car into the car park.. it was in a hurry. They then stopped at the parked bikes. One took of his mask right under the camera. Was about 17 years. Hopefully they will catch. I'm sure the driver reported them. Real thugs.cant think how they will not expect to get caught it is hardly a metropolis

Need more police and supply them with motorbikes so they can keep up with these b*stards. When they are caught - crush their mopeds, fine them, ban them from driving and put them on a curfew. Second offence, jail.

I think you overestimate their IQ.

Unfoertunately public opinion is very much against the police in chases. If the alleged criminal dies, the police are deemed to have put them into that situation.
It doesn't matter that the vandal/thief has put themselves into that situation in the first place. Remember the hooha over Henry Vincent being stabbed with his own screwdriver?
Chasing kids on a bike without a helmet is 'tantamount' to putting them in danger.

I know, it's rubbish, isn't it?

it's absolutely ridiculous.....if twatts want to commit a crime then they really need to face the consequences and the public need to support the police in the execution of their arrest ....if they are hurt tough shit i say .......makes a complete mockery of the system and the young thugs know it.

That's all very well, but if the police are going to stop chasing them as soon as they have removed their helmet (as I have seen many times on programmes like Road Wars etc), then no matter how many police you have, and irrespective of whether they have motorbikes, it is all academic if they pull out of the chase.

Just keep chasing them say I. If they come off and end up with a head like a dippy egg, who cares?

What if they are only 13/14?

Press-gang the little shites

 

[Stato]

I have it on good authority that they think they're bad....

but that if you hit them, they tell their dad.

Apparently they do this as police are not allowed to pursue them in case they make them have an accident.

Surely that’s just an excuse from the Plod as they cannot be arsed to chase them,I mean,would anyone seriously give a **** if one of these little ***** fell and killed them selves?

If they ever see their dads

If you two and [MENTION=2393]Uncle C[/MENTION] are right, then that is f*king ridiculous. It's a license to what you want FFS.

This. Very much this. Utter c*nts.

It's very true. Watching this stuff on tv where police in documentaries had to back off for safety reasons. Certainly not a myth.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

I’m afraid that to a degree it is true. Depends on the sort of offending they have been involved in but for most lower level incidents there won’t be a pursuit.

Does this mean that if I drive at 120mph without a seat belt then they won't pursue in case they cause an accident?
