A motorcyclist ignoring the 20 mph limit, and pulling a wheelie in the City of London has been let off with a verbal warning, and the officer suggested that the rider published the video from his helmet camera to show how stupid the rider was!
Aside from the fact that the officer should have ensured this by seizing the video himself to publish, do you think the officers action were fair?
I can't help thinking that a car driver at that speed might not have been so lucky, but is this on the edge of discretionary response?
I take it that it wasn't Von Hosen on the horse!!
