How fast-talking cyclist got away with 'jumping red light' after
tongue-tied policeman failed to arrest him

They are the bane of motorists' and pedestrians' lives - cyclists who
jump red lights - but when one hapless policeman confronted a biker,
he was comprehensively out-talked and outsmarted.

A video of the exchange captured on the cyclist's helmet gives a
display of police impotence to deal with a minority of cyclists with
the rules standing as they currently do.

It is understandable, then, that an officer identified only as PC
Stout, appeared to become frustrated and reached out for the head
camera in a row over a traffic fine.

After being stopped for allegedly jumping a red light on Edgware Road,
Central London, the biker refuses to give his details, telling the
policeman that he is not obliged to do so.

.... and there's more. For the full story and the video, go to:

There will probably be millions of responses to this post. I feel a
bit sorry for the PC.

The PC needed better training.

I don't see how this is news. "Cyclist gets away with jumping red
lights" is rather like saying "bear goes for a s**t in the woods"

However the cyclist concerned has been identified and spoken to by the
police.

Well apparently the video is now off YouTube, copyright infringement having
been claimed by Spiritual Entertainment Ltd.

A comment about them elsewhere reads, "This account is now 'owned' by a
Corporation called 'Spiritual Entertainment Ltd' so as to be part of what
seems to me to be a rather twisted game called commerce."

It may not strictly be "news" because it happened some time ago, but
it is of interest because the cyclist videoed the whole thing and
posted it online. The Mail picked it up from there.
