Dr D Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Your cops are worse than ours especially the federal types. :rolleyes:God save the Queen:freak3: well played. We ask them if they are carrying their public hazard bond and most of them slink off. they have to show their "license and insurance" if you ask but nobody ever does!

Huh? Are you talking England? Regular "bobbies"? Could be useful info, but it's a little vague. Please clarify. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 No, The good old U.S. There are lots of theories on the best way to do it but basically you remind them of their duty to you as a public servant. Respectfully ask to see their ID and public hazard bond. they are in a precarious legal postition without them. Accept their oath of office verbally. They swore to protect you not to harrass you for victimless "crimes" still researching this stuff but what I am finding is an eye opener. we lose the rights that we don't stand up and defend.

twelsch42 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I'm been commuting to work across downtown Denver for over 2 years. I'll safely (oxymoron alert) disobey traffic laws in front of officers without ever an incident. Blowing stop-signs / red lights without a worry. I have heard of tickets for riding on the sidewalks and riding down the 16th street mall (although it's ok to ride the mall on Sundays ?!?) twelsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dold Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I don't like to blow stop signs/lights, but it's more of a PR thing than safety. You can't do it and expect drivers to view us as peers in the traffic system. I admit that I do (rarely), but I realize that any motorist that sees me do it is going away with a somewhat dimmer view of cycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
