I started shouting at the coppers commentary. Such a clown. The 'criminal' was clearly cautious of others and not being retarded, just knows how to ride.
@XTee500 Very true. However there needs to be a balance between gathering enough evidence for a conviction while maintaining a safe pursuit and not endangering the public. I would offer, in this case, it went on far, far too long.
The other possibility could be they do not wish to reveal the unmarked bike (if it is new in service or used for covert surveillance) and he was awaiting a marked police vehicle to arrive on scene and pull the rider over.
> did he know he was being followed by police, he may of thought you were racing if your on a unmarked bike without sirens on? <

Exactly! The guy was showing off because he thought he had a biker buddy who was as crazy as he was. He was half correct - the cop gradually took more and more suicide risks and became as crazy a rider the bloke.
@GoogleGSM look these organ donors should be encouraged, they keep the healthcare system facilitated, as for if he hit me or my family i dont think my folks would come off worse as my father drives a Range Rover, and i drive a truck, go sell your South African peace crisps to someone else and polish the straps on your sandals if you're looking for something to do other than posting your opinionated tripe on youtube.

Can I just say that those who are saying that the policeman should be punished need to consider that these days, police need to gain sufficient evidence in order to prosecute the individual... Therefore, he was required to maintain the speeds for the purpose of evidence x
6:15 its the cop that almost has the head on, not the other guy. 6:45 and 8:03 are both dangerous overtaking by the cop. The guy should have been pulled over way before these anyway. Imagine the cop had the head on with the biker at 6:15 and killed him, because the cop was 'gathering evidence' for over 6 minutes of what was clearly awful riding 6 minutes earlier. The cop was clearly loving it and should get the same punishment.
@OldFootyGit He isn't obliged by law to stop for an unmarked police veichle, usualy they get marked units in before attempting to stop anyone. Also cops are trained to a high standard and periodicaly re-assessed to ensure they are extremely compitant riders, the rider being followed clearly wasn't as the officer states he clearly had trouble assessing bends. However I agree the cop took a few risks he didn't have to, his licence was on tape they could of gone and waited at his house.
There's a limit to the number of times you can go out like this before something will go wrong and you will end up 6 feet under. As fun as it may be, keep it on the track!
cop is a biker as well fair enough if he was going to do him for speeding but following him for 10 mins wracking up all that video evedence when he was doing everything he was and making some really poor desisions him self is wrong what a nasty bloke.
Is this copper still alive, I can't believe how many times he made himself the meat in the sandwich? Avoiding the predudicial commentry the lead rider can be observed to be giving due respect to other road users, initiating overtakes not in the face of oncoming traffic (on the whole) unlike the police officer (wrong side and oncoming traffic). Speed does not seem excessive given the conditions (wide roads,clear view) but is consistently in excess of mandatory limits.
"Unmarked" police motorcycle was the key word. No wonder he didn't stop. If someone is chasing me that doesn't look like a cop, then why would I pull over??? I would think someone was trying to jack my bike.
I am just so, so surprised that when viewing the evidence as gathered on said video (atrocious, atrocious riding that gives us all-bike riders, a very bad name) you STILL found a mere atom of compassion for him (the motorcyclist) and yet still smited the police officer!? My lower mandible has dropped several references of Pi at your summing-up of the evidence as presented! Are you actually observing the same vid as I? With freedom comes responsibility you know...that 'rider' is a criminal! ENDEX
You said..."you STILL found a mere atom of compassion for him (the motorcyclist) and yet still smited the police officer!?"
You're not very bright are you?
I said (try reading the other persons comments before responding next time):-
"I think the biker deserved the long ban he got for the antics he got up to but I also think that the cop deserved at least an equally long ban as his riding, by quite a margin, posed a significantly greater danger to other road users."
@twmapsion Hmmm...do you recall the 22 Special Air Service activities in Gibraltar? Prior to those Troopers opening fore, they spent a heck' of a long time gathering evidence for BOX! Its all about gathering evidence twmapsion!! The police officer did just that! As to your saying that I am not at all bright...I was born with syaesthesia...I had a Phd by the age of 21...I think outside your silly little tridimentional world...I see everything in mathematical formulae, and you are 'basal'!
I happen to know a great deal about gathering evidence for criminal prosecutions - unlike you. And I'm not talking about RTA matters.
That you responded to my comment that you aren't bright in the way that you did shows your mental age to be around 10 which fits in with your appreciation of what this video actually shows.
You are not only a fantasist biker (i.e. you don't ride) you are a fantasist in other realms as well.
You're so bright yet don't understand that you are posting on a public forum - I am not contacting you I'm responding to your public post to me. Do you get that?
You said "You do not understand my reasoning-nor me yours!" - you don't have any reasoning because your life experience does not include riding a bike so that you don't have any appreciation of how dangerous the cop was.
BTW its synesthesia not syaesthesia and you obviously don't know what a loke is.
@twmapsion Please do not contact me again. You do not know me! You do not understand my reasoning-nor me yours! You are are Epsilon minus! Good day to you! Try reading The Cat Sat On The Mat; right up your street/crescent/avenue whatever. It's loke talking to an insect at times...ta ta!
''zig zag into oncoming trafic'' and the cop immediatly do the same dam thing. The cop should also get a ticket for all this.
To bad the cop did not fall of his bike. The cop says ''on the wrong side of the road''. WHERE IS THE COP RIDING? At the very same place. At some point the cop was more dangerous than the biker
what are the laws for? to make sure people dont get hurt and basically live life at its best... at least i hope thats what the laws are for, and in this case noone got hurt, except the guy who now has to face a corrupt system because he enjoyed his motorcycle too much...
why the hell didnt the cop pull him in? are cops alowed to follow us all f---ing day now to add all our tickets up! and was the police driving any safer? was it hell!
I drive these roads nearly every day. Interesting how cop who is with Sussex Police actually followed him into Kent.
I'm surprised that he didn't request that the rider be stopped sooner. He had enough evidence to prosecute after just a couple of minutes, there was no need to allow for it to go on for that length of time, risking lives.
wow the cop flash the car to get pass him. the cop doesn't have his lights or sirens on or anything so the cop is even worse then the motorcyclist. BAD ENGLAND COPS
If this was an unmarked police bike no flashing lights, no sirens, surely he's committing an offense just like the other rider?? With driving like that, the copper should be reprimanded as in one of the solid white overtakes he nearly forces the blue Peugeot off the road,
This officer is a disgrace,only today i was talking to traffic cop who takes the Bike Safe course on a gixer thou,and he even said that officer should be done for the same offences ,as for poor riding if that guy is who i think he is he comes from a family who have raced bikes for long time.his brother raced in the R6 cup,looked like mr plod was just racing himself,could have pulled him far sooner,one rule for them and another for us i feel.
@shumble69 You make an absolutely valid point as regards this police officer. In many respects, it is all about giving the offender as much rope as he needs in order (on camera) to metaphorically hang himself. The officer is merely accumulating appropriate evidence with which he can present to the Court. The same applies when plain clothed police are covertly following muggers...the police can only respond once a crime has been committed and captured on body-cam surveillance. Best wishes. Ebs
You said: "The officer is merely accumulating appropriate evidence with which he can present to the Court."
Rubbish! Your knowledge of UK Law and Court procedures is non-existent.
Go past a static speed camera at 120 mph and you will wave your licence goodbye for a long time - yet the speed camera only needs half a second of evidence.
Cop had more than enough evidence after 2 mins and he was easily the more dangerous of the 2 and should have lost his licence as well.
@twmapsion Are you familiar with the concept of 'giving enough rope' et al? Think of the quantative/quality ratio of evidence gleaned on the vid. The 'motorcyclist' filmed in the excerpt is no more than an 'Organ Donor' with the IQ of a plastic bag,- and its idiots of this ilk who give all of us a bad name! The road is linear, they are both travelling in same direction...ergo: let the evidential camera role! Mind you, the UK is a third world nation anyway and your laws are laughable! Ta ta.
I think the biker deserved the long ban he got for the antics he got up to but I also think that the cop deserved at least an equally long ban as his riding, by quite a margin, posed a significantly greater danger to other road users.
I don't know your nationality but in any event you clearly know nothing about UK law so stop spouting from a foundation of ignorance.
Plenty of rope for the hanging after less than 2 minutes - but you need a modicum of intelligence to figure that.
@twmapsion Nope...sorry...I still cannot see your point of view. My 'aside' as regards UK law is simply this: the UK (thanks to its laws) seems to hoover-up every malignant, deviant, criminal lost soul that the world has to offer! No wonder the decent folk of this once proud nation are at a loss! At home, we really do look after our Borders; and if, inspite of our best efforts, a criminal still 'gets in', then we move the very mountains themselves to remove that individual! Rather simple really!
You don't state where 'home' is (your channel isn't accessible) - not that it matters since your need to 'ad hominem' (as it were) the UK exposes you as having nothing substantive to add to this debate.
Neither do I believe that you are a real biker since you can't see what 9 out of 10 posters on this video see clearly - the cop was not only a significantly inferior rider he also posed considerably more risk to other road users.
cop saying at the beggining that the other rider was a poor rider when he himself nearly had a head on with another biker @6.19 . very poor decision not to stop the rider sooner. not good policing.
wow thaqt's amazing the police officer was putting even more lives in danger by exceeding the speed limit as well as not identifying himself as a law enforcement officer.
the police and not 'proved, as it should be using sirens and flashing, then the guilt and' them fomenting the rider of the bike to compete repimerla instead of stopping it now!
Sussex police must have exess money to burn. What no domestics, alcoholics or drugies in Sussex to sort out?? A good race I'm sure they both enjoyed it until the end. I'm sure if the rider was not being "raced" he would not have ridden as fast taking as many risks as he took.
also 6 mins 18 seconds, the police car nearly had a head on with that bike rider, if i was the other biker coming the other way, id have my knee down near the centre line, and splat!!!!
im sorry but that police officer is more dangerous than the bike rider. a wide car like that could get cleaned out and kill someone, a bike is far less likely to hit anything... load of bollocks.....
Could have been pulled within the first 30 secs of the pursuit, a quiet word, " think about your riding son" ...the copper doesn't exactly look like a fantastic rider...
wait... all that for doing 140mph on a machine which would only really injure the rider in a collision? yet the officer was also doing a similar speed and probably encouraging the rider by looking like he was trying to race him? CATCH SOME REAL CRIMINALS!
To the posters who try to justify the police rider's actions as necessary to obtain evidence for a conviction, consider this - a speed camera only has two static images taken over a period of 1 second. and that evidence is enough for you to lose your licence if you were going fast enough.
There is more than enough evidence to put the nutter away after 1 minute.
The police rider is at least as bad as the nutter he's chasing and posed a very significant risk to other road users.
@tommymech although he is a lot more competent and better trained.....and they do need the video evidence fo a longer time because if it is just a short film the rider can...and many have before...claim that it was a one off and he never usually rides like that. With a longer amount of footage the court can see that he is not sorry and that it is not just a one off.
As a passionate biker and former racer I tell you that the cop is not a very skilled rider whereas the Nutcase can handle a bike (though he has no brains).
I also happen to be a multi jurisdictional lawyer with UK RTA court experience.
There is zero justification for the cop's prolonged chase. Both bikers as individuals posed a serious risk to public safety (cop the worst!) - a 2 min video plenty for a long ban.
I have thought seriously of putting this video before the IPCC.
I can't beleive that a police officer would ever ride like that. I mean, squeezing between moving cars at 80 mph, thats never anything but thoroughly reckless, no matter how much skill you think you have. at 6:17 - why did he press on here, cause he was already comitted to overtaking the van, too fast to pull in behind it, before he even knew the road was clear! If he went into another county riding like this ( without the speed or the definitely illegal maneovers ) he'd be pulled straightaway
The only really outstanding point here is the hypocrisy.
6:18 pause it there - he is on the right side of the road - the cop is on the wrong side of the road with a van stopping him from avoiding the oncoming bike, - he has the balls to say the guy in front nearly had a head on?
Fuck Off ! - this is the worst kind of righteous bullshit there is.
This was part of a planned operation as there had been numerous complaints re this rider over a period of several weeks.
This was purely an observational exercise to gather the evidence required to prepare a full case and put it before the court. so that an accurate picture could be assessed. The commentary was professional and accurate.
I guess he was not pulled in right away because the cop was probably going to let him away with it.. but then saw what he was like when he thought he wasn't being watched.
@TheSuit7 .. there is a video on here somewhere with the Police showing off their unmarked Police Bikes.. it's on ''Traffic Cops'' .. not sure what episode or series.
If you take a gd look u will c that this bike is equipt with flashing headlights when he flashes the car out of the way look at how they flash and they stay flashing right past the vehicle so he could have pulled the motorcyclist over! COPS ARE CUNTS!
Cops are the idiots here, Why did they not stop the guy on the 1st offense. They just wanted to have a wee race as well .. The cop actually encourages the guy to go faster buy tailing him like he did!!!!
The officer didnt pull the biker because this unmarked Honda CBR1000RR in Silver doesnt carry any lights or sirens! It is purely equipped for video recording of offenders.
lol A21, that roundabout is always congested, he wasnt far away from the M25, wonder if he got away lol. at that rate he will beat my personal best of 50 mins from hastings to romford :D
I agree that this lads riding was wreckless but the copper needed no invitation to egg him on further and took plenty of poorly calculated risks himself. If that was A1 police riding then I think I'll look to track days and the IAM for my own skills development. This was utter entrapment and should have been ended much sooner.
@sprtbkr they have to record enough video evidence or it won't stand in court.they have to prove that it wasn't just a one of mistake and that he does it a lot. and that Police Rider is a hell of a lot more trained and competent.
@pcjoel999 you are spouting pure and unmitigated drivel. The UK courts would impose a long ban on the nutter biker after 1 minute of this video. A speed camera produces static pictures that usually reflect around 1.5 seconds of driving time yet they are sufficient for loss of licence.
Bike cop is by no means a more skilled rider.
The nutter was idiotic but sadly, the cop was even more so. To most of the commentators here its obvious that the cop was having too good a time to want to stop.
@tommymech Police rider shave to be an advanced rider before they are even considered for the job......and then they go through even more training.
it is actually quite common for bikers to get away with it after a minute of two of footage. Police bikers are very well trained riders and the more footage they have the more chance of a conviction.
@pcjoel999 Being a police advanced rider does not mean that the cop is especially skilled. E.g. in this video the cop criticises the Nutter for poor corner judgement in the wet. In fact the Nutter picks dry lines through the corners whereas the cop rides as if it was dry - rubbish. The cop' s overtaking judgement is much worse than Nutter's - he really did put lives very much at risk.
You obviously have no idea of the workings of the UK courts. Stop being a pretend policeman.
@tommymech actually i am studying law (including the UK Courts System)......and seriously there are cases where the CPS have refused to take on a case for dangerous driving as there was not enough video evidence. So kindly do not say that i know nothing when i do know something. I am not trying to insult you or your judgement so please refrain from insulting mine.
@pcjoel999 Unlike you, a student (you will be surprised how different studying law and practising law are), I have been a practicing lawyer (Barrister) for over 20 years and, seriously, the first 1 min of this vid is enough for any UK court to give a long ban.
Even the often incompetent CPS couldn't fail to get a verdict on the 1st 1 min of this video.
I have zero sympathy with the Nutter but the cop's riding is a disgrace.
Sorry to be so blunt, but you don't know what you are talking about.
@tommymech Agreed fully. The following cop is a terrible rider and is more likely to be injured than the 'nutter'. He obviously became a biker cop because he wanted an excuse to speed legally.
@sprtbkr i got pulled over sliding my 240 one night by a mustang... and the officer didnt arrest me... he just told me to get out of the car right away... and i thought he was talking me to the back of the car, when he turns his laptop over an shows me like 8 minutes of me shredding thru turns!!!!! i looked good... lol but he basically said if you want a copy of the tape... ill show to you in court, for now... go home and keep it in the track...
@sprtbkr I agree to a point but the Police rider must gather enough evidence for the courts. We have a silly judical system here and this clearly shows the holes!
terrible standard of riding. however why on earth did the cop not pull him right away? seems to me like he was enjoying it, and if he was that bad (which he was) then surely he should have been stopped for his own and others safety?
In my opnion the cop was encouraging the biker to race. That's unfair, the cop should have pulled the biker as soon as he went over 100, that would have been enough to get the biker banned and safest for everyone.
I wounder what the police comment would be on this video?
idiotic cop...pull him over within the first 3 mins of this video. Dont put EVEN MORE LIVES IN DANGER.... imagine if the cop had caused an accident...
Bollocks...the cop isnt the one in the wrong here...its the fool he was chasing who should be shot...seriously...Im a biker myself and reckon cops tend to be slimey snakes hiding in the grass waiting to catch people out...but this guy he was chasing was just out of control and should be locked up
@procesgnilny I lol'd when he said "he [the criminal] just nearly had a head on crash"... No mate, YOU almost had a head on crash, the guy you was following was already neatly back in the correct lane and in no danger.
Nice riding from the cop on the bike, I didn't see any flashing lights tho,mmm.. C info I think he was enjoying the ride too. lol ten minutes it's not like he killed anybody. He could'a just pulled up next to him and shut off the bike himself. lol my buddy did that when we were riding around, I had to slap his hand a couple of times. lol NO, NO. lol
that copper is taking beyond stupid risks, they had is number plate should just picked him up later, between to car moving in opposite direwction is stupid, and then folling less than a meter of the back of car at 70mph. i wold have loved to see him right inot the back of it. this cop was just having fun the follow sholdn't have lasted even 5 minutes let alone 10
unmarked pursuit vehicle = no lights, no siren. Bad risks were taken by the "runner" (if he even knew it was a cop) but the lack of safety precautions on the part of the LEO indicates this is more about revenue collection rather than public safety.
well its simple the more video he has of the reckless rider the more he has for prosecution. I agree with you though, he did take some stupid risks that could have ended very badly, but the moto police are very well trained or this kind of riding.
If theres a car coming right up your ass all the time and trying to chase you it's easy to presume that they're a "boy racing" wanker. It's probably why hes trying to get away, he probably has no clue it is an actual police car.
You will find that this video came to light through MCN, the officer allowed the suspect to fuel up between following (when he could of stopped him easily seeing he was stationary!!!!). The whole video is 23 mins long
If the Police Officer had the evidence, then I an see no point in the 'follow' continuing. Clearly this is a pursuit and unless I missed it, there does not seem to be much input from a 'Pursuit Commander'........ Where is the commnetary on road conditions, road traffic etc.... It stinks, glad I am not in the job anymore.....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its not a pursuit he is pursuing for the sake of evidence. The more footage he gets the more the prosecution can prove that he was driving dangerously.
You obviously know nothing of the evidential requirements for a conviction of dangerous driving/riding.
This cop had enough after 30 seconds for a concrete conviction.
This prolonged chase is irresponsible in the extreme and the vast majority of posts agree that the cop was haing a 'jolly' - which he plainly was.
Apparently, the cop stopped to watch the biker fuel up and then re-commenced his pursuit. Obviously it was too thrilling to stop and hang the risks! Disgraceful.
Oh well the more evidence the better I say seeing how corrupt our courts are now days. The people who post against the cop are mostly idiots who blame the police for their mistakes. I cant belive that last bit is true at all and seeing as you are a cop hater your sources are most likely your own view on what he did next and not fact.
As a 19yr old Aussie living in the UK what exactly do you know about the UK courts?
An unmanned speed camera produces less than 2 seconds of evidence for a conviction.
In recent months two innocent teenagers have been killed by speeding cops. In one case the copper, a class one driver, was sent to jail for three years.
The bit about the biker fuelling up was mentioned by another poster - he claimed MCN has the full video.
Its not about hating cops its about valuing lives.
If you knew how good, compared to other countries, our courts are, you wouldn't make daft statements.
Don't get me wrong there are plenty of problems with our court system. But its one the best in the world.
Go and be a policeman in Sydney.
With your current blind acceptance of the police point of view I hope that you don't anytime soon become a policeman anywhere in Europe. At least until you can be a bit more impartial in your judgement.
Don't worry about me trying to contact you. Its the last thing on my mind.
Comment on videos are in the public domain.
I'm not anti police.
I'm anti hypocritical muppets like this cop who claim to be upholding the law in stopping other muppets like this biker whilst at the same time being more dangerous than the idiot he's chasing.
If your brother/sister/mum/dad were killed by a speeding cop you'd sing a different tune wouldn't you.
Having read some of your posts I think the real reason you flagged this video was to try to stop someone disagreeing with you.
Its clear that you have never seen the aftermath of a high speed bike / car collision. Sure the biker is much more vulnerable, but if you think that car occupants are safe from injury at the closing speeds involved here, you are very much mistaken.
The cop would be well aware of this yet persisted in a very dangerous high speed chase putting lives at risk.
I think that the other poster has you nailed - you weren't bothered until people started to disagree with you and you couldn't handle that so you made up a spurious complaint to YouTube.
If this was an unmarked police bike no flashing lights, no sirens, surely he's committing an offence just like the other rider?? With driving like that, the copper should be reprimanded as in one of the solid white overtakes he nearly forces the blue peugeot off the road, what would have happened if the driver of the pug had of crashed as a result of this chase?
this cop, my opinion should be struck off, and put into jail himself. He had numerous oppertunities to pull this biker but chose not
dude i know numerous Officers that Ride UnMarked bikes also some areas like my town has unmarked bikes and Dirtbikes for Offrod and onroad they dothat too catch fuckin idiots like these and most actully know how too fukin ride very well.
The police bang on about crime prevention. This copper is clearly enjoying it with some laughing on the commentary. He should have pulled him at the first opportunity instead of pushing him along - that is prevention. Don't get me wrong, the biker is breaking some fundamental traffic laws and solid white overtakes are a daft move. The guy on the bike must feel a bit of a knob, but the copper is actually a bigger Knob, for letting it go on like that.
if you gonna ride like that you'd be a complete idiot to not be 100% sure you've not got a cop watching you, never mind immediately behind you!!! what fool!
sick feeling in the stomach when told you're being reported for dangerous driving, me thinks so!!!
he gave me a ticket for speeding. the only reason i was speeding was because i was trying to put some distance between us (not knowing it was a cop) if you high speed chases like this, the cop should have lights and sirens on, or the bike should be pursued by helicopter. you know, for all those cops out there, listen up. just because you have authority, it doesn't mean you can disobey laws. i will be polite. but in all honestly the only cop i will truly respect is the nonexistent blameless one.
its the blind leading the blind. the dumb ass cops think that they are touched by the hand of god so they can do whatever the FUCK they want to..... i had a cop tailgate me one night, so close behind me that i couldnt see his headlights, if i had tapped my brakes he would have rear ended me at 50 mph. if there had been something in the road in front of me there would have been a fatal wreck because he was a foot behind me.
cops are so damn hypocritical, it pisses me off. .the cop should lose his badge for pulling shit like this, the cop is being just as wreckless, if not MORE wreckless than the guy on the bike in front of him. just i really hate cops because they think they are perfect and are blameless when it comes to safe driving and obeying speed limits, yes this guy is speeding and driving dangerously, but HOW, in any way, can you give this man any punishment if you are following his stupid driving.
"How do you summons someone, when you dont know their identity...the plate is not good enough"
That depends. Where I live a plate # works fine. The cops come take the vehicle and arrest the plate owner. I don't think that is right, but all I can do is vote.
Would love to see the cop at an inquest if he had caused the biker to crash due to uneeded pursuit. this is pure proof that traffic cops are just waiting for times like this to loon about at high speed. YOu can clearly see the index plate of the bike why not just summons him for 140 on a 70 limit and let it be dealt with at court
at least the rider was picking his oportunities to overtake whereas the cop was just trying to stick with him for the camera,entrapment is what id call it
Yep the cop was squeezing in here there and everywhere. Why couldnt he get his rewgistration number and catch up with him later instead of putting together a massive rap sheet
right on its about common sense. Im lucky where we live now...they country life
If no one is around, I can gun it
and there are a couple of spots we bikers kind of know that the cops don't really patrol
I hate to see guys riding like assholes around traffic, Im all into being a daredevil sometime with my own life. But you are a selfish prick if you endanger stranger, possibly a mom with kids in a minivan.
Most of the time i would stick up for the cops. However, what i dont get hear is, why doesnt the cop just pull him at the first rounderbout and do him for speading? By following him that closley on an undercover bike he is simply bate'ing the rider to go faster. The guy on the bike being chased must have thought someone was after a race.
The police should have eaither pulled him early on, or, follow him at distance untill a helecopter and sufficent traffic cars can get in position to stop him
I started shouting at the coppers commentary. Such a clown. The 'criminal' was clearly cautious of others and not being retarded, just knows how to ride.
doodleplop800 1 week ago
@XTee500 Very true. However there needs to be a balance between gathering enough evidence for a conviction while maintaining a safe pursuit and not endangering the public. I would offer, in this case, it went on far, far too long.
The other possibility could be they do not wish to reveal the unmarked bike (if it is new in service or used for covert surveillance) and he was awaiting a marked police vehicle to arrive on scene and pull the rider over.

@Maxsdiscos Very true. However there needs to be a balance between gathering enough evidence for a conviction while maintaining a safe pursuit and not endangering the public. I would offer, in this case, it went on far, far too long.
The other possibility could be they do not wish to reveal the unmarked bike (if it is new in service or used for covert surveillance) and he was awaiting a marked police vehicle to arrive on scene and pull the rider over.

Can I just say that those who are saying that the policeman should be punished need to consider that these days, police need to gain sufficient evidence in order to prosecute the individual... Therefore, he was required to maintain the speeds for the purpose of evidence x

6:15 its the cop that almost has the head on, not the other guy. 6:45 and 8:03 are both dangerous overtaking by the cop. The guy should have been pulled over way before these anyway. Imagine the cop had the head on with the biker at 6:15 and killed him, because the cop was 'gathering evidence' for over 6 minutes of what was clearly awful riding 6 minutes earlier. The cop was clearly loving it and should get the same punishment.

@OldFootyGit He isn't obliged by law to stop for an unmarked police veichle, usualy they get marked units in before attempting to stop anyone. Also cops are trained to a high standard and periodicaly re-assessed to ensure they are extremely compitant riders, the rider being followed clearly wasn't as the officer states he clearly had trouble assessing bends. However I agree the cop took a few risks he didn't have to, his licence was on tape they could of gone and waited at his house.

Is this copper still alive, I can't believe how many times he made himself the meat in the sandwich? Avoiding the predudicial commentry the lead rider can be observed to be giving due respect to other road users, initiating overtakes not in the face of oncoming traffic (on the whole) unlike the police officer (wrong side and oncoming traffic). Speed does not seem excessive given the conditions (wide roads,clear view) but is consistently in excess of mandatory limits.

@shumble69 You make an absolutely valid point as regards this police officer. In many respects, it is all about giving the offender as much rope as he needs in order (on camera) to metaphorically hang himself. The officer is merely accumulating appropriate evidence with which he can present to the Court. The same applies when plain clothed police are covertly following muggers...the police can only respond once a crime has been committed and captured on body-cam surveillance. Best wishes. Ebs

Rubbish! Your knowledge of UK Law and Court procedures is non-existent.
Go past a static speed camera at 120 mph and you will wave your licence goodbye for a long time - yet the speed camera only needs half a second of evidence.
Cop had more than enough evidence after 2 mins and he was easily the more dangerous of the 2 and should have lost his licence as well.

To the posters who try to justify the police rider's actions as necessary to obtain evidence for a conviction, consider this - a speed camera only has two static images taken over a period of 1 second. and that evidence is enough for you to lose your licence if you were going fast enough.
There is more than enough evidence to put the nutter away after 1 minute.
The police rider is at least as bad as the nutter he's chasing and posed a very significant risk to other road users.

@tommymech although he is a lot more competent and better trained.....and they do need the video evidence fo a longer time because if it is just a short film the rider can...and many have before...claim that it was a one off and he never usually rides like that. With a longer amount of footage the court can see that he is not sorry and that it is not just a one off.

As a passionate biker and former racer I tell you that the cop is not a very skilled rider whereas the Nutcase can handle a bike (though he has no brains).
I also happen to be a multi jurisdictional lawyer with UK RTA court experience.
There is zero justification for the cop's prolonged chase. Both bikers as individuals posed a serious risk to public safety (cop the worst!) - a 2 min video plenty for a long ban.
I have thought seriously of putting this video before the IPCC.

I can't beleive that a police officer would ever ride like that. I mean, squeezing between moving cars at 80 mph, thats never anything but thoroughly reckless, no matter how much skill you think you have. at 6:17 - why did he press on here, cause he was already comitted to overtaking the van, too fast to pull in behind it, before he even knew the road was clear! If he went into another county riding like this ( without the speed or the definitely illegal maneovers ) he'd be pulled straightaway

@tommymech Police rider shave to be an advanced rider before they are even considered for the job......and then they go through even more training.

pcjoel999 1 year ago
@pcjoel999 Being a police advanced rider does not mean that the cop is especially skilled. E.g. in this video the cop criticises the Nutter for poor corner judgement in the wet. In fact the Nutter picks dry lines through the corners whereas the cop rides as if it was dry - rubbish. The cop' s overtaking judgement is much worse than Nutter's - he really did put lives very much at risk.
You obviously have no idea of the workings of the UK courts. Stop being a pretend policeman.

At the absolute max, to ensure the harshest penalty for the biker, the first minute and a half of this video is more than plenty.

You obviously know nothing of the evidential requirements for a conviction of dangerous driving/riding.
This cop had enough after 30 seconds for a concrete conviction.
This prolonged chase is irresponsible in the extreme and the vast majority of posts agree that the cop was haing a 'jolly' - which he plainly was.
Apparently, the cop stopped to watch the biker fuel up and then re-commenced his pursuit. Obviously it was too thrilling to stop and hang the risks! Disgraceful.

An unmanned speed camera produces less than 2 seconds of evidence for a conviction.
In recent months two innocent teenagers have been killed by speeding cops. In one case the copper, a class one driver, was sent to jail for three years.
The bit about the biker fuelling up was mentioned by another poster - he claimed MCN has the full video.
Its not about hating cops its about valuing lives.

If you knew how good, compared to other countries, our courts are, you wouldn't make daft statements.
Don't get me wrong there are plenty of problems with our court system. But its one the best in the world.
Go and be a policeman in Sydney.
With your current blind acceptance of the police point of view I hope that you don't anytime soon become a policeman anywhere in Europe. At least until you can be a bit more impartial in your judgement.
This cop broke every rule in the book.

Don't worry about me trying to contact you. Its the last thing on my mind.
Comment on videos are in the public domain.
I'm not anti police.
I'm anti hypocritical muppets like this cop who claim to be upholding the law in stopping other muppets like this biker whilst at the same time being more dangerous than the idiot he's chasing.
If your brother/sister/mum/dad were killed by a speeding cop you'd sing a different tune wouldn't you.
Why didn't the cop end this much sooner?

Having read some of your posts I think the real reason you flagged this video was to try to stop someone disagreeing with you.
Its clear that you have never seen the aftermath of a high speed bike / car collision. Sure the biker is much more vulnerable, but if you think that car occupants are safe from injury at the closing speeds involved here, you are very much mistaken.
The cop would be well aware of this yet persisted in a very dangerous high speed chase putting lives at risk.

Your right I have never seen a bike crash personally. But I have seen my fair share through net videos and have seen what happens.
It falled under dangerous acts and youtube agreed.
MarkWilliams212 2 years ago
I think that the other poster has you nailed - you weren't bothered until people started to disagree with you and you couldn't handle that so you made up a spurious complaint to YouTube.

If this was an unmarked police bike no flashing lights, no sirens, surely he's committing an offence just like the other rider?? With driving like that, the copper should be reprimanded as in one of the solid white overtakes he nearly forces the blue peugeot off the road, what would have happened if the driver of the pug had of crashed as a result of this chase?
this cop, my opinion should be struck off, and put into jail himself. He had numerous oppertunities to pull this biker but chose not

Traffic police can only break traffic laws so long as they pose no danger to anyone else.
You get a brain.

The police bang on about crime prevention. This copper is clearly enjoying it with some laughing on the commentary. He should have pulled him at the first opportunity instead of pushing him along - that is prevention. Don't get me wrong, the biker is breaking some fundamental traffic laws and solid white overtakes are a daft move. The guy on the bike must feel a bit of a knob, but the copper is actually a bigger Knob, for letting it go on like that.

6:17 dangerous by both riders
if you gonna ride like that you'd be a complete idiot to not be 100% sure you've not got a cop watching you, never mind immediately behind you!!! what fool!
sick feeling in the stomach when told you're being reported for dangerous driving, me thinks so!!!

he gave me a ticket for speeding. the only reason i was speeding was because i was trying to put some distance between us (not knowing it was a cop) if you high speed chases like this, the cop should have lights and sirens on, or the bike should be pursued by helicopter. you know, for all those cops out there, listen up. just because you have authority, it doesn't mean you can disobey laws. i will be polite. but in all honestly the only cop i will truly respect is the nonexistent blameless one.

its the blind leading the blind. the dumb ass cops think that they are touched by the hand of god so they can do whatever the FUCK they want to..... i had a cop tailgate me one night, so close behind me that i couldnt see his headlights, if i had tapped my brakes he would have rear ended me at 50 mph. if there had been something in the road in front of me there would have been a fatal wreck because he was a foot behind me.
ciccotello 2 years ago
cops are so damn hypocritical, it pisses me off. .the cop should lose his badge for pulling shit like this, the cop is being just as wreckless, if not MORE wreckless than the guy on the bike in front of him. just i really hate cops because they think they are perfect and are blameless when it comes to safe driving and obeying speed limits, yes this guy is speeding and driving dangerously, but HOW, in any way, can you give this man any punishment if you are following his stupid driving.

"How do you summons someone, when you dont know their identity...the plate is not good enough"
That depends. Where I live a plate # works fine. The cops come take the vehicle and arrest the plate owner. I don't think that is right, but all I can do is vote.

Would love to see the cop at an inquest if he had caused the biker to crash due to uneeded pursuit. this is pure proof that traffic cops are just waiting for times like this to loon about at high speed. YOu can clearly see the index plate of the bike why not just summons him for 140 on a 70 limit and let it be dealt with at court

it was the cops riding that was dangerous
at least the rider was picking his oportunities to overtake whereas the cop was just trying to stick with him for the camera,entrapment is what id call it

Yep the cop was squeezing in here there and everywhere. Why couldnt he get his rewgistration number and catch up with him later instead of putting together a massive rap sheet

right on its about common sense. Im lucky where we live now...they country life
If no one is around, I can gun it
and there are a couple of spots we bikers kind of know that the cops don't really patrol
I hate to see guys riding like assholes around traffic, Im all into being a daredevil sometime with my own life. But you are a selfish prick if you endanger stranger, possibly a mom with kids in a minivan.

Most of the time i would stick up for the cops. However, what i dont get hear is, why doesnt the cop just pull him at the first rounderbout and do him for speading? By following him that closley on an undercover bike he is simply bate'ing the rider to go faster. The guy on the bike being chased must have thought someone was after a race.
The police should have eaither pulled him early on, or, follow him at distance untill a helecopter and sufficent traffic cars can get in position to stop him
