somerset police speed vans can catch bikes!!!

I think you'll find that's obstructing the police which whilst still a criminal offence, is a much less serious one.

I think you'll find that's written by some lefty tosser of a lawyer who writes for a blog. It was infact a one off case, and the original 'offence' is still perverting the course of justice, especially where the speed vans are manned by non police staff. This case was possibly a 'police' speed trap.
He was probably charged with obstruct police due to as the blog says "were not sure what was said during the conversation between him and the police officer". It speaks books to me. A lawyer skimping on detail only means one thing..... Lies/hiding the truth!

Don't take one side of a story, especially where media is involved.
