Court tells MODPOL to stop!

<< < (3/3)

LandRoger:
Not sure howmany magistrates are in touch with the real world TBO, i do know that its gutting for those concerned who work their cobbs off to get a case together and those morons into court only for the out of touch bench to throw it out and then compensate the offender who walks out of court with a smirk and a two,s up , in this particular case one member of the bench had to ask what was the difference between a Trailbike and a normal Pedal cylcle ??? :rolleyes:nuff said.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Education is the name of the game! We're fairly lucky in Hants, some of the Bench are rural based and are very aware of the problems.

Bishops Finger:
Mr Shagg-Pyle your lordship what a delight it is to have your words of wisdom again.... :laugh:

i think this is a wide spread thing, i the Peak district where i spend many hours in more and more i can go out with groups and not see another 4x4 for several weeks, the tracks prove this but bikes...
im not going into my opinions on them
i know there are bikers on here, and i know alot of bikers who are all decent people,
Its simple we are out numbered by at least twice if not three times by them
just an observation

Why, I thank thee, your Bishopness! I drop in when time and the crims allow.


In relation to lane usage by 4x4's. My colleagues and I have been out patrolling the lanes more regularly and recently came across small groups of vehicles and bikes from various clubs.
We had chats with them, and the feeling is mutual, that all responsible users are fed up with the actions of the 'idiot brigade'.
I can't stress it enough that if you see or hear of illegal activity, report it to your local Police. Most non urban forces have rural/wildlife/environmental crime officers, who will do their best to catch and prosecute these ne'er do wells.
Not wishing to blow my own trumpet, but we've recently seized vehicles and bikes that have been involved in illegal activities, for various offences such as non compliance with 'construction and use' regulations, no insurance, and illegal use of red diesel.
It is a 'battle of attrition', that can only be won with help from the law abiding community, telling us where and when it happens, and in some cases, who is doing it.
Another method is to apply to join your local force as a Special Constable. My force is looking at taking on people who have 'specialist' knowledge or skills, to work on our team, to help patrol, catch and deter the wrong doers.
You folks have that knowledge, and we want to use it.
We even have some real 'Gucci' kit, like marked up Defenders and Navaras!
Have a look at your local Force website, go to the Recruiting section, and there should be a link to the Special Constabulary.
If that doesn't work, drop me a PM, and I'll find the contact for you.
