It is good to read your local police taking an interest and doing something about it, shame it's a postcode lottery when it comes to police action/inaction.

My local police do not give a sh1t unless I'm lying in a pool of blood, they have even made it more difficult to report anything.

Thats a big shame. I have no issue at all with them. Very cycle friendly however i have camera footage so not sure what it would be like without. i suspect not as productive which i would expect for good reason. Northumbria police is very good, must be a reason they are one of the best in the country.

I always ride with camera's a helmet camera and a rear camera, both 1080p HD.
Sadly, motoring offences are basically ignored by the local police unless someone is injured or it is causing traffic delays.

1st . nice braking... dont think mine would have stopped so fast :-/

the 2nd... beggers belief she didnt think anything wrong.. as for "why did you shout", jeez... again nice manouvering :-/

reasonable response from the coppers it would seem as well...

Likewise with BSRU, postcode lottery indeed, I was actually hit by an overtaking (into oncoming traffic, everything clearly visible) HGV last week, suffered minor scrapes and bruises. Police not interested in viewing footage, no cycle racks at police station, yet plenty of free-on-pavement parking outside, blocking pedestrians from visiting the station too, guess they don't want us there at all, seemed annoyed at me even wanting to get it logged, didn't want me speaking to a traffic cop to get his opinion. Response, "we only do that if we attend the scene". Although my plan at the moment is to push a bit harder through their online reporting tool, since those at the local station aren't interested.

Hard to believe there's such a difference.
