Again, I don’t have a date for this footage, but it was posted on Facebook yesterday. The location is the A13 eastbound, heading towards the Tilbury slip road. Whilst your eye is naturally drawn to the biker, there are two shots of the speedometer of the car from which the footage was filmed. One shows 130mph, the second 137mph. So you can make a pretty reasonable guesstimate of the minimum speeds the bike is travelling at. Although this isn’t Metropolitan Police ground, it is not far from it. It beggars belief that, because of cuts, the number of traffic officers in London who are trained and equipped to deal with pursuits is being reduced, with officers moved into other duties. One of the solutions apparently put forward to justify reducing traffic policing is the increased use of automatic cameras. Sorry, but that is total BS. As this clip — and the one I posted yesterday — demonstrates, many of these bellends don’t have visible number plates in the first place. They are either hidden using folding mechanisms or simply aren’t attached to the bike. You can’t enforce against a number plate that isn’t there. Cameras have their place, but they are not a replacement for properly resourced traffic officers who can actually stop, pursue and deal with this sort of behaviour. And to be clear, this isn’t a pop at Metropolitan Police or the officers themselves. They can only work with the resources and numbers they are given. The criticism is aimed at those who decide the budgets and ultimately make the political decisions about policing priorities. There are obviously many factors behind the rise in anti-social behaviour and the increasingly brazen behaviour we are seeing on our roads and public places. But I would suggest that one serious contributing factor is the reduction in the number of police officers per head of population. When you reduce the number of officers available to deal with this behaviour, whilst simultaneously expecting technology to fill the gap, is it really any surprise that some people become increasingly confident that they can get away with it? And whilst the sane and law-abiding majority look at this sort of behaviour with disbelief, there is also a significant number of people who follow, celebrate and produce social-media content around this stupidity. They treat it as entertainment. They glorify behaviour that can ultimately cost lives or result in life-changing injuries — not just to themselves, but to completely innocent people who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That, in itself, is another part of the problem. When dangerous and criminal behaviour is rewarded with views, likes and followers, there will always be people willing to push the boundaries even further. 🎥Tee Onsight.
