"Cycling Mikey" loses court case.

But it does make we wonder which camera views were shared as evidence, and whether there is any option for the jury's decision to be reviewed.

If those camera views were not admitted in evidence and have now come to light, then I think the defendant can be retried.

The Court of Appeal can only make an order to quash an acquittal and order a retrial if it is satisfied that there is both new and compelling evidence and that it is in the interests of justice.

The bloke is a complete pr*ck in my opinion and hangs around on that corner to simply enhance his ego, I would dearly love someone to come along and knock him out!

I have to agree with this. He is in the same mould as traffic droid. If you want to uphold the law on a full time basis, as these guys seem to do. Go and sign up to become a police officer. They antagonise motorists and that does cycling no good at all.

twollocks. They only antagonise drivers who are already breaking the law.

Meanwhile, cyclists just riding lawfully down the law are somehow antagonising some motorists - they can go screw themselves. Sorry if that offends you Steve.

plenty of police forces have given their support to people like this. Do you know better than them? Are YOU a policeman Steve?

 

[Bonefish Blues]

What sort of support are you thinking about?

I rest my case!

I've seen a few clips by Mikey but what interests me is why a grown man would wish to lurk around bushes in Regents Park to catch motorists committing fairly minor traffic offences. What triggered this bizarre behaviour?

If you came around that corner on your bike and got run over by that twat in the suv, I bet you wouldn't think it was a minor thing.

I couldn't give a toss about either of them but he only chooses people who he knows can't retaliate (due to being filmed) that's why it's cowardly.

Nonsense. The guy retaliated by driving his penis substitute at him. I don't think Mikey's behaviour is cowardly at all, it takes some nerve to stand in front of a random moton like that. The coward is the one who sits inside the metal box and tries to barge him out of the way.

I've been knocked off my bike several times by people driving badly. So far, I've not felt the need to engage in some kind of jihad against motorists.

I might have said this before, but if he comes up to Yorkshire to do his filming there would be no video evidence unless you extract his camera from his arse,

A religious war?

Why "twollocks" when you then agree with him?

One day, you should really come visit planet earth. Things are not as black and white here as you (and one or two others here) would have us believe.

I'm not aware of any police force who has done so.

They give their support to people who video offences and submit that video.

I'm not aware of any police force who support people confronting those who are committing offences.

I don't agree that he is cowardly as Shep suggests, but I have always said that I do not agree with his confrontational stance. Take videos and submit them, absolutely. Take the law into your own hands by stopping them continuing, no.
