Dealing with moped gangs

Looks the Met have taken a more “proactive” approach to dealing with the previously increasing scourge of moped riding criminals

Must say I do approve , however I’m waiting for the bleeding hearts and the shyster lawyers to try and ruin this approach.

Edit. It’s also alarming how unaware some folks are of their surroundings whilst on their mobiles - kind of alarming when you consider the no using them whilst driving.

It is unfortunate that some some of the 'take downs' are being probed.

Absolutely. Down my neck of the woods there’s an officer been charged with aggravated racial assault ( or something like that ) because his dog but a gypsy at a protest.

Appalling that officers are being treated like that - thanks to shyster lawyers.

The video makes for excellent viewing. Bravo Met Police !

Particularly funny when one of the moped riders gets up from the road and holds his arms outstretched in the classic "WTF is your problem ?" stance. Classic. Should have run him over.

Great to see the Met giving these scrotes the treatment they deserve. As Watsey pointed out, they should run the f***ers over once the knocked them off. Good to see my Council Tax going to good use

Rather than nudge the little runts off these bikes they should just plow over them and do a proper job. Save all the court and prison costs.

I welcome this new development and more power to them nothing but utter scum that need to learn that they will be taken down, there isn't a jury that would go against this....they deserve the governments and the publics support.

It sickens me when the IPC and CPS tries to bring charges against them, they know damn well we support this and it's not in the public interest to prosecute.

Fully agree. The fact that Saunders has left the CPS is another cause of celebration.

Any Jury that did go against it should also be run over by a police car.

All officers should have tasers as standard as well and only require one warning of use or none if little scroat gets lippy.

um... if only that was the actual problem,

The law is you cant carry a passenger on an L plate, if you have a full license you don't need the L and can carry passengers, however that's not the problem as I doubt these "people" have licenses or insurance and extent to that it wont be their bike either.

So if there was a ban on carrying pillion passengers and they were spotted by a police officer carrying pillion passenger, they can be stopped and arrested. Doesn't matter if they have license/ insurance or not does it

If they can't carry passengers on motorised transport do you think they will revert to BMX bikes instead Cars are much harder to get through traffic so they wont use those. What else is there? Rollerblades?
