you didn’t manage to reply without more nonsense did you detraveller ?
Let me take you slowly through this There is a law but that law has been in existence forever Police in the recent past were able to pursue moped criminals They don’t now , why not ? |
|
By:
Not strictly true, I saw footage of a met
Police car chasing a reported stolen moped only the other day, there may be guidelines about not chasing those where the rider is not wearing a helmet. |
|
By:
Yes but of course there may be new guidelines
that is just the point , the police in the very recent past and back over the many years before that , were able to pursue mophed criminals But not now , why not is the question |
|
By:
lfc is correct;police don't chase moped scumbags in case they cause the moped to crash and the riders are injured/killed thus leaving the pursuers open to being charged for not carrying out risk assessments etc/causing injury or death...you couldn't make it up. Just put the little bug gers down and have done with it.
|
|
By:
Hmmm, villains who think nothing of taking risks, up against Police who have to make risk assessments before deciding whether to do what they are paid for. What could possibly go wrong.
|
|
By:
The footage i saw of the chase was very recent, i am still not sure that they ( police ) have been told not to chase.

detraveller the existing law that you say has been in place for many years...does not exist lfc1971 • June 6, 2018 7:21 PM BST I am afraid detraveller that law is neither here nor there lfc1971 • June 8, 2018 7:26 AM BST Yes but of course there may be new guidelines Lfc, be nice for a change and accept this time it was you talking nonsense? |

The day when all the police are armed draws nearer.
The first obstacle to overcome is the fuss that is made after a criminal is shot by a policeman. Where the police officer is suspended while an enquiry takes place. This is unacceptable and puts the police officer in the dock for doing his job. A quick judgement should be made by the officer's commanding officer in these cases and settled on the spot, with little of this suspension business and long-winded enquiries. We're at the point where police officers are reluctant to carry firearms because of the above. |

By:
ah detraveller now you are getting there , slowly
You now understand that there is no new law That the law as I said was in place when the police were able to chase mophed crime in the past And therefore the law is neither here nor there But the guidelines as I have been trying to explain to you have been changed in some way And fairly recently The question remains why ? Take your time again detraveller and try not to come back with any more nonsense |
|
By:
oh and yes the existing law that you said was in place never existed
because it was something that existed only in your head There is the existing law which does exist and always did exist and the imaginary law in your head Don’t confuse one with the other |
|
By:
I long for the day when a bunch of them wade into a recently retired Para who has an axe to grind. Ohhh yes, come the day. Sooner or later one of them's gonna find himself in some serious trouble.
|
|
By:
This was the question , why have the police failed to continue to pursue criminals on mopheds ( the law hasn’t changed )
What has been the reason for the change in police policy , if it isn’t the agenda of the leftists and luvvies and possibly others of that ilk ? I don’t know |
|
By:
you certainly couldn’t blame people with views like ericster for this change in policy
Who do you blame detraveller ? tell us please |
|
By:
heaven knows what he will come back with this time
|
|
By:
I DO wonder/hope that maybe, somewhere out there, a really hard s.o.b. is cruising with a really expensive phone, come take me rob me,fishing for moped dirt. Could be a really cool competition between hard guys

By:
well done detraveller , I am not particularly intelligent
And I don’t like to strain my intelligence too much That’s good advice to you right there |

Sharpshooters required for police work, able to hit moving targets.

By:
We always excuse your comments STUDYFORM.
|
|
By:
 glad you liked that one study |
|
By:
Power corrupts, so in my view the answer is not to give the police 'more powers'. Just use the existing powers as they should be used.
|
|
By:
No one respects the police any more, and due to the scrutiny they receive they have become ineffective except in cases that only offend people's feelings.

The Home Secretary has revealed he was mugged by moped thieves who stole his mobile phone. Sajid Javid, who is in charge of the nation’s policing and security, said he was targeted by criminals outside Euston station in north London.  Seems this happened Months Back Not a Mention ,The M Mac Robbery, has made Sajid Come out ,No doubt there will be a new Twitter Handle # me2phone http://www.itv.com/news/2018-06-17/sajid-javid-my-phone-was-stolen-by-moped-thieves/ How strange this has not made the News , Until Today  |

By:
Now I maybe being Silly ,But if it happened to me and I was in his position, I may well make it Public so that people are aware
there is a chance of having your Phone snatched in the London Area ,and to be careful ? Or is that Just me ? |

Not cynical enough. It is more likely to deflect criticism as figures are published showing under 5 per cent of burglaries and robberies are solved. |

By:
Has anyone considered the fact that it might the police themselves, or at least some rogue ones.
They know they are not going to be chased. They know the rules. And convictions/sentences probably count for nowt anyway. |
|
By:
Yes I was thinking the same until my
Daily medication kicked in. |

For a closer look at some of the Criminal Thug Moped S**m Criminals, this nauseating BBC documentary about them might prove useful. You could barely see a finer example of the devastating and damaging effect of 'Diversity' on London, and the overt links to Africa and cross-border crime.
If ANYONE involved in the reporting, filming and reporting of this grotesque criminality has ANY scintilla of decency, they will ensure that all information accrued during the project about the criminals is passed on to the Met. . https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p05x9kfp/inside-britains-moped-crime-gangs |

Is this the One with the Promising Racing Driver ?
|
|
By:
alun - thanks for the link. An incredible documentary.
Yes case - he's pretty good! He said he would need a rich sponsor to get into racing and it just made me think he would steal even more to get that money.... |
|
By:
Yes Case, that's the one. The documentary ludicrously indulged his enjoyment of fast driving.
At no point were the criminals properly challenged, or asked to explain to the public why they believe they have such a massive sense of entitlement to the items they steal. |

"Has anyone considered the fact that it might the police themselves, or at least some rogue ones.

" Not quite what I meant but.... it's been reported that "Moped gangs pose as police to trick motorists into pulling over" - Evening Standard / internet. Just waiting for actual report of rogue police now. LOL |

Moped muggers who rob people of their watches, jewellery and mobile phones are funding extravagant summer holidays on “party islands” like Ibiza and Cyprus, the Telegraph can reveal. ... The latest Metropolitan police crime figures show a seasonal pattern to moped related crimes. From 2012 to 2017, the late spring and early summer months all see a steady increase in the number of recorded offences committed by a criminals using a moped, scooter or motorcycle. But, over that same period, every August experiences a marked drop in moped muggings and raids, with July often showing a similar decline. It is understood that some robbers take August off to fly to Mediterranean party islands where entrance to the top clubs and DJ shows can cost hundreds of pounds. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/30/increase-moped-muggings-fueled-gangs-saving-summer-holidays/ |
