Losers. Likely to end up getting bummed in a prison too.
They're not losing though, are they? They're making a lot of money each week, not paying any tax, not having any risk of being caught or have anyone stopping them and still able to claim benefits. Prison? Hah! They'll never see it!Rawwr said:

It won't last. Can't see them investing their ill gotten gains either, it'll get spent.markcoznottz said:
The police must know where they live? Dawn raid take all thier scooters, release them upon proof of ownership, mot, insurance etc, plus compulsory fingerprinting to see if any outstanding. Easy.
I've emailed this to the lead in the Met. This is the one sentence solution they've been waiting for!

When you’ve got the police basically saying the onus is on the owners to prevent theft, rather than taking the lead in detecting and working with the cps to prevent this then you realise how f
ked it is. Look at mets proposal:

Are they saying that or are they giving crime prevention advice? ked it is. Look at mets proposal:https://www.met.police.uk/scootersecurity
'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure'.

So some hackette gets to ride pillion with them for her story but the police can't catch them.
OK
I don't think they were trying to get away from her and take advantage of the legal limitations and obligations she doesn't have. OK

We need to be absolutely firm that if a copper indicates you to stop, you do so. If in anyway you disobay their request anything that happens afterwards is pretty much your fault. Everyone should also be aware that they will always give chase until the offender is aprehended.
I'm so bored of all these "promising young footballers" being untouchable.
If said thugs takes out a mother and 2 year old on a crossing as part of being apprehended at all costs, is that a good result?I'm so bored of all these "promising young footballers" being untouchable.

That's a load of bks from the police about security.
I had all the heaviest and most expensive chain, padlock and disc lock yet all that was left of my bike was the part of the thick chain link. Angle grinder took it apart in seconds.
It's crime prevention, which aimsto make it less probable to become a victim - thus the wording 'reduce your risk'. ks from the police about security.I had all the heaviest and most expensive chain, padlock and disc lock yet all that was left of my bike was the part of the thick chain link. Angle grinder took it apart in seconds.
It's not a guarantee. Like all crime prevention.

If they threw acid into the face of a mother with a 2-year old a couple of weeks later because they were able to get away, is that a good result?There's no right answer when it comes to 'IF'. All we can do is take steps to mitigate harm to innocents. Inaction is not mitigation.

It's no good trying to prevent harm by apprehending someone failing to stop if they skittle a load of people at school finishing time, for example.
Complex problems don't have simplistic solutions.
I don't care about the people failing to stop. Give me the legal protections and a Mad Max car and I'll rejoin the police, chase and ram them off them all day. I do care about innocent people getting harmed during pursuits and have seen it when it happens.
There's a Facebook page to one of these scrotes when he crashed and died trying to get away from the police. His sister started the page, devoted to her brother who of course, she regarded as totally innocent and that he was killed by the police. Sadly she had tons of support on Facebook.
Someone here on PH posted a link to the page, I did see it but I can't (or dont want to) remember the scrotes name. Anyone got a link to it, just wondering how it's faring these days given the levels of crime these scooter scrotes are committing.

Was it Henry Hicks? Someone here on PH posted a link to the page, I did see it but I can't (or dont want to) remember the scrotes name. Anyone got a link to it, just wondering how it's faring these days given the levels of crime these scooter scrotes are committing.
If so, fun times for the police officers involved who've only recently been exonerated for an incident which occurred in December 2014.
