Cause Scotland Yard will run you down and take video of it. I bet they don't get a lot of repeat offenders.

This policy isn't aimed so much at people who steal mopeds and scooters as it is at gangs who commit robberies and use scooters as their escape vehicles. Apparently the old policy was that if the perps fled, and especially if they took off their helmets, the constabulary would just let them go rather than engage in a pursuit that might result in an injury to one of the little darlings.
-
Good. Thieves should be dealt with harshly and swiftly.
-
Criminals using scooters, well crime in general really, has been a huge problem there. The videos that have been released really made my day.

"There is a perception that if you remove your helmet or fail to stop for police when requested to do so we will not take any further course of action," Pearson said, in a police statement about its tactics. "This is untrue."

Are GB's testes finally descending?

What I don't understand is why isn't the squishy liberal public going absolutely apeshit about the aggressive, terroristic tactics used by the police, and why isn't the European Union coming down on the British like a ton of aholes?

AH! Here's the weepy squishy liberal bullshit position.

I've seen it a little bit, like your video link, but I think the people are getting really tired of it.

Same video I cited above, where the officer says not catching them transfers the risk to the general public. I chose not to comment on the lawyer-with-the-pink-tie's vapid liberal bullbleep.
ETA Good grief! The exact same video has been linked to three times as if it were an original find.
And Hawkmoon (Reply #1) was right. It wasn't about stealing mopeds per se, it was about scooting away with the loot on mopeds and the police pulling "mini" PIT maneuvers on them.
What the hell ??? Does everyone around here need new glasses ???
:facepalm:

Missed that. Sorry!
"I chose not to comment on the lawyer-with-the-pink-tie's vapid liberal bullbleep."
Come on, let it roll!

Meh. It's OK. Nobody reads my crap anyhow, and I watched about a minute of Pink-Tie's soft and squishy horse manure and figured it wasn't really worth commenting on. That's why I remarked on the LEO's comment about transferring the risk to the general population being right at the beginning.
That was the crux, the point, the impact of my post. (I was going to add something about shooting at fleeing felons in regard to the transferring the risk concept, but deleted it.)
But, yes, let Pink Tie's liberal nonsense roll, if you insist.
Not that anyone's gonna read this post, either. :'(

Not surprisingly, many pantywaist types don't think it's nice for the police to knock robbers off their scooters.

They are right. It's not nice.

Uh, maybe allow civies to KEEP AND BEAR ARMS? ;/ =D [popcorn] [popcorn]

No, no, no! It's better to keep the populace compliant and subservient. If you allow them to be armed, they may rise up and depose you.
A better option is to discourage any kind of resistance to aggression even though there may be innocents robbed and killed.
Be not fooled. Gun control isn't about safety or the children or anything except that the government has the power and doesn't want you to have it.

As I grow older I am getting that drilled into me as an unpleasant reality of human behaviour regarding those of the political class.
