This so called policeman takes the meaning of “”jobs worth” to a new level.

A traffic cop in Cumbria did me for excessive use of my windscreen wipers tried to give me a FPN which I refused and opted to attend court my friend a solicitor sent 3 letters to the court and Cumbria constaulary that was back in 2006 never heard anything since

That police officer is regretting his decision 😂 he probably thought you were kids on illegal bikes and slowed down because you were up to no good. Then saw you were respectable citizens and doubled down on his pride rather than face the embarrassment of making a poor judgement!

I don't normally like people bashing police, but on this occassion the officer a complete dickhead. pulling people for going too slow, would he rather you go fast and risk hitting wild animals, what an actual fool. Police wasting Police time....

Not a great conversation - Officer was out of order but you have no defence by using the "these are used in Moto GP" line - slick tyres are used in Moto GP but there is a reason they are not used on UK roads. I would say the officer was over zealous and in fairness he probably goes home to suckle on his moms breast milk at the end of the day. I would say it is poor policing but i also understand they want riders to be legal.

Meanwhile terr0rists are taking over your country.

Absolutely fcking disgusting! What a W⚓! I hope you sent the video to the Chief Commissioner. Made himself (and Police) look joke! I have (had) a great deal of respect for the Police but what a jobsworth!!!. What do you expect though he's Welsh probably nothing to do as no sheep had been reported missing (sorry Welsh peeps that was a joke😬)

what a prick

They want money!!!

Wait you can be fined for going too slow even though there is no minimum speed limit sign anywhere in sight!!! I would go to traffic court with lots of photos saying the area has no such minimum speed limits.

Meanwhile the real Criminals are like speeding at 150mph and get away with it. And the snails 🐌 ( Everyone else!!!) Gets punished!

A power crazy, egomaniac who knew he was wrong but wouldn’t admit it, so moved on to the visor thereby justifying the stop to himself.

Prats of the highest quality

police man was just not the smartest and of course thats whats in the police force these days and abusing their power.........and then ignoring the tractors with no plates...discrimination against visitors as he was not prepared to summons his own people in his own area...corruption.

Police are given discretion, and as I see it how they apply that discretion is an indicator of their competence. Sadly, many of these people are condescending and not very good at public facing jobs. This particular specimen is nothing more than a tool. He would just about meet the competence requirement to hand out the empty tray for your coat at airport security.

Great video Matt, love the reference to the old Kawasaki's we had remember some rides on them! PS all i can confirm the roads are ace in Wales!

What a joke 😂

So hang on ,one minute you're having a pop at farmers for not having number plates on trailers. then you say cop should be helping farmers in an advisory way to prevent theft ! . Did the trailer need a number plate ? You didn't say , perhaps they didn't need ,some do some don't . Added to this the plate on the trailer doesn't need to match the tractor towing it ,they do need to be owned by the same person .I'm no fan of the police ,and no fan of people who antagonise them ,you'd have been gone quicker iff you just nodded and said yes or no .hard and all as it is. But I do agree he was ridiculous and that's being polite .

What a cretin that 🐷 is - must be bored in that rural setting, and once you rightly ridiculed him over the tractor/trailer reg plates, he was determined for revenge for pointing out his own failings, and like your speed (or lack of) visors, reg plate, and anything else he dreamt of. As a trained observer? he didn't notice the lack of reg plates? and those of the ones you pointed out as they passed ?? and kept his head down, so if he didn't look, he couldn't see - right ?? I expect he is the only cop in the village🤔🤣 and will be shunned by the locals if he pulled tractors over and ticketed them, so no shopping, fuel, etc.

You did not deal with this well at all. How ridiculous that you don't know that Moto GP rules don't apply to the public roads.

I found it ridiculous that you obscured your camera so that it couldn't capture the main scene.

I would have been twice the prat that officer could ever have been towards you right back at him... "what is the purpose of the motorcycle? Domestic terrorism."

In fairness to the Police Officer i think you were being very obstructive childish and supercilious as though you had something to hide, just grow up and cooperate with the officer, simples.

Was his name R.Sole just asking as he is acting like it.

mr ahole police man

The issue I have is that you skirt around the fact you have illegal number plates and try and make out the police was in the wrong. If you had legal plates I'm sure no ticket would have been issued.

If they had brains they'd be lawyers, unfortunately they haven't, so they join the police.

it's no wonder they get laughed at .. there will be a day of reckoning .. when we take away their pensions .. I think he realises he's made a fool of himself and he's looking for a way out .. very silly and immature.

The officer is anti biker. Saw you as easy prey.

Typical hall monitor, box ticking, quota meeting mentality.

lets hope his boss see's this and sacks this corrupt bad copper

That coppers last day of school his teacher took him to one side. Told him he would never amount to anything in life, and advised him to join the police force.

What a tosser😂

Imagine being such a sad sack of a person that acting like this genuinely seemed like an appealing option. Good on you for reporting the interaction and posting it to KZbin, unfortunately there is a need to have these cowboys held to account. I hope he got the appropriate performance review and reeducation he so clearly needed. An absolute joke of a human being. Should have included his name and rank in the description, for completeness. This could make a great training video for police (as an example of what not to do)

Certainly not quality policing, so sad.

Ovet

He probably just hates the English.

My first question would have been ... are you a freemason?. The Dyfed Powys police are corrupt as hell especially the traffic cops. Once you sign his fraudulent ticket & sign the ticket that police officer can get done 7 years for statutory rape. We have to privately prosecute the rogue cops. It's all part of an agenda and is linked to a global agenda as well. Only private prosecution will stop these tyrants sadly. Did you get his name and number?

He was bullied 30 minutes of nonsense

He is a weasel

Best thing that prick can do is get a job collecting trollies in Tesco car park. What a waste of tax payers money

I won’t be watching you again, you’re as bad as the copper if not worse! A gobby biker makes us all look like c’’ts!

This may already have been said but in 2007 Motor Cycle News asked if 10,000 motorcyclists could descend on Wales for the weekend for this type of thing I can see another visit coming up…

All I can say is that if you are going too slow they cannot fine you for speeding

If people actually listened at the start of the video, he hasn't stopped you because you were driving too slow for the roads. He has observed your bikes slowing down which he's perceived that you were slowing down to keep away from the Traffic Officer, which was his reason for stopping you both. This is a common tactic for vehicles involved in criminality or even the smallest traffic violations to for example "not pull up at the lights next to a Police vehicle" or "slow down to allow a Police vehicle to not see their vehicle" You've then been found to have an illegal number plate which is a topic I'm not going to cover but you cant complain when you get caught.

Thanks, it makes me chuckle to this day! I did once also get caught pushing a GSXR 750 on the pavement. "Where are you going sir?" Home officer. "Is it your bike sir?" Yep "So why are you pushing it?" Chain snapped officer. "So where is your helmet, gloves and leathers" Fair point officer... I got really hot pushing it so called my girlfriend to take them home in her car. " The bike doesn't appear to be registered to you sir". Only just brought it officer, sent the logbook off couple of days ago. "You can see why this might look a bit suspicious sir". YEP. "Can your girlfriend support what your saying sir"? Well it's 2 am and she'll be mad as he'll that I've woken her up again, but she will bring my documents and receipt of purchase to us if I speak to her nicely. " That would be helpful in this situation sir". "OK, so all checks out, sir, appollogies for waking your girlfriend up at this hour, now how can we help"? "Me (jokingly) help me push this thing to my house it's only at the top of this hill... "No probs sir" Absolute legends, I had 2 police officers pushing my bike up a hill, laughing and joking about the situation. I think they kinda enjoy it. They're not all bad 😅

It's a shame you had an illegal sized number plate, nothing worse than getting pulled over for something ridiculous and then getting nicked for something else. I'm talking from experience by the way... I once had an off duty police officer jump out in the middle of my lane and stop me, I stopped about a foot away from him and he said going a bit fast weren't you, what would you have done if I was a child? My reply, "Sir I would have stopped just like I did then". Not able to argue that point he told me to F off and got out of the road. He obviously needed to settle the score and proceeded to stalk me daily to the point I was issued 14 producers in 2 weeks. I did the right thing and took them to my local police station on the 14th day and proceeded to produce then 1 at a time, showing my documents, signing the form and when asked " is there anything else today sir"? Oh yes sorry, I have another producer from the same officer! 14 times I did this and then the lovely female officer dealing with me said "It's clear what's happing here sir, would you like to make an official complaint against this officer"? YES.... While this was happening, I got stopped for the 15th time by the same officer not for the normal daily routine check, but this time, to warm me that he was one on the board of governors at the college I was attending ( turns out he was but how did he know I was attending said college?). And he could have me removed at a click of his fingers. I replied with OK no problem, we ll speak about this again tomorrow and calmly rode off. The following day I received a phone call from the local police station reading out a statement of appology, and that he he be disciplined for his conduct which was nothing short of harassment. I was given a direct number to his supervisor and told to call him directly if this happens again... All this because an off duty policeman decided to be a hero and jump in front of what he perceived to be a speeding motorcycle. Twist to the story- about 10 years later, I moved into a new house, and guess who was my neighbour? Now, a retired police officer, well known in the community for having a covicted small-time drug dealer as a son, that I was in college with 😅

What do the police authorities think this behaviour is going to do for public confidence? I've had enough of this type of nonsense from police officers. They are alienating themselves from us, and that's a very, very bad thing.

Police are capable of doing so much good but they're also B's at times. When they're being B's, that's when we lose respect for them. So hard to earn respect but so very easy to lose it.

Obviously he was bullied as a child and this is his way of getting his own back. Pathetic.
