Imagine all the costs of repairs to the police cars, motorbikes, property etc just to chase a kid on a moped
For those not from the UK who may need some context, in the UK the police would very rarely engage with motorcycle offenders because if the police where to chase them and the motorcyclist get hurt or killed, the officers would be liable. So for years and years police would not chase motorcyclists, especially if they were not wearing a helmet etc. This then lead to a point where robberies where happening all the time and thieves making off on scooters, knowing the police would either give them a wide berth or not chase at all. But eventually things got so bad and there were so many violent robberies with offenders on scooters/motorcycles the government changed practices and law to allow officers to 'safely' make tactical contact. It had to happen.

The fact that "I was just robbing a single mother with a baby at knife-point and all of a sudden I'm in a high speed motorcycle chase and this asshole police officer gently knocks over my motorcycle and I got a bruise on my leg" was a valid defense at one point is crazy!
This is the kind of effective policing that people are crying out for.If the criminal gets hurt in the process then that is very unfortunate, but they are putting innocent lives at risk and so it is the lesser evil in my opinion! Well done to all the officers involved and I am confident that the 99% of the public are 100% behind you!

This is direct action to stop a fleeing suspect. We don't know what crimes these riders committed that caused them to be chased, it's safe to say they do take this direct action with 'types of crime'. Scooter riders often mug people on the scooter. They may be wanted for various crimes including drunk or drug riding and they made off to avoid arrest.

@@FishOnTwoWheels I lived 8 years in Guatemala in my early 20's so probably more then you? just because you've been bullied by your neighborhood tough guy at school doesn't mean that tough on crime works. Try being racketeered by the "Authorities" and see how nice it is giving them absolute power. Allowing barbaric laws, results in a barbaric society. If the thief knows he might get his hands cut or get executed, then he might as well execute the victim to prevent a witness. Let's face it, you've probably lived a very sheltered life, with most of your crime experience being on KZread or the TV. Maybe you've had the occasional pick pocketing? plausible one fight? It's unlikely that you've been mugged, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Chances are that you've only experienced a very mild form of crime in a very safe country. I doubt that you've had much real life experience, and seen how brutal mob justice is when you let morons like you decide what's fair, and how it can ruin communities. Try living in a country that is real tough on crime and see how your life will surely improve, hey at least there's no crime left right? To be fair I've also grown up very sheltered and in a very safe part of Northern Norway where violent crimes or general crimes are non existent. but unlike you, it seems like I've been able to think beyond my neighborhood and had experiences that tells me that you can't justify crimes and violence with more crimes against humanity and violence... Now days I still live in Northern Norway because violence either by the public or the authorities is un bearable, and living with people like you who think everything should be punished by a more severe punishment is very exhausting.
Mijn complimenten, in Nederland zijn ze helaas te voorzichtig met dit uitschot. Wie steelt neemt risico's en die kunnen ook heel pijnlijk zijn. 🎉
This should be the preferred way of stopping criminals like this in America! There's so many positive scenarios than negative ones!
Brilliant. About time.
Great work from our police officers. Criminals who knowingly endanger the lives of ordinary passers now know that they will be stopped by force. Sooner or later this will result in the death of a criminal. That is regrettable but preferable in my view to the death of an innocent bystander

3% of police officers were charged with a crime in the uk the yr before last.. thats 3% of 155 thousand which = 4650 officers. there are 43 police forces, roughly thats 116 from each police force as an average... these figures dont include civil cases. nor do they include the police officers that were not caught breaking the law. 6 million crimes on average are reported and 1.35 million taken to court.. so, the same percentage for the police officers would mean there were 21000 officers committing crimes... divide that to each police force and you have now 488 from each police force. and thats just the crimes not the civils...

In Washington DC it is illegal to give chase unless they are suspected of committing a felony. Sad times we live in where criminals are more protected than the law abiding citizens.

Thankfully we don’t have many of these scooter thieves in Birmingham. They mostly have hot hatches. I’ve seen pursuits going at over 60 mph on busy roads. On one occasion I had the urge to manoeuvre my car close to the oncoming car that was being chased but decided against it in case the idiots decided to swerve and hit somebody else. It’s not worth trying to be a hero and put other people in risk. Sometimes unfortunately, it’s best left to the police to apprehend these twats.
I guess you can't leave a bike anywhere in London that isn't in a locked garage and even then probably still shackled to the ground with heavy duty chains, disc locks and whatever else. In my area, bikes can be left in the street without an issue.
