Seriously though, we can't make a judgement either way without knowing the time of the video.
If it was during bus lane operational times, (0730-0930 and 1600-1830 iirc) fair enough for noising up the police.
If it was outside the times, then the cyclist is a tt.
Is it fair enough, though? I see a lot of crap driving on my travels (and people probably see my crap driving too, I sincerely doubt I get everything right, no matter what I think at the time) - I don't "noise them up" for bad indicating, hogging the middle lane, being in the wrong lane at a roundabout, swerving through traffic. I just sigh, shake my head, make sure I'm out of their way and let them get on with it.If it was during bus lane operational times, (0730-0930 and 1600-1830 iirc) fair enough for noising up the police.

Sometimes I see police cars getting it a bit wrong (indicating coming off roundabouts, or not as the case may be, MLH etc.) - I don't beep at them and scream "I've got you on camera!" (partly because I don't have a camera). My point being, there are a lot of honest mistakes and a lot of not-so-honest, downright crap driving and instigating a confrontation is not the best course of action for dealing with it. Drive/pedal on with your life.

Unfortunately a few camera-equipped cocksockets develop a massive superiority complex when they turn on their cameras... and that goes for both cyclists and motorists. How many clips on youtube showing supposed bad driving from others when the camera car driver clearly needs retraining?
