A recent week of action in south Bristol saw the local Neighbourhood Policing Team work with our Roads Policing Unit to focus their activity on motorcycle-related crime and anti-social behaviour.

Glad something is being done.
But more needs to be done to stop motorcycling being associated with criminality. In London, The Imps motorcycle club/display team was set up over 50 years ago so young people who wanted to get involved in motorcycling could do so in a disciplined and controlled setting. Still going strong today.
We should have one in every town. Also BMX/cycle speedway etc.
Lets not associate motorcyclist with scooter and ev bike riders, very rare is a motorcyclist antisocial and especially in the manner that this video shows. These criminal joy riding just the same as they use to joy ride the old fords in the 90’s motorcyclist as a whole are law abiding citizens.
What about COLSTONS STATUE.?
We have a lot of issues with off road bikes in my area. I think one possible answer is having community police who spend time talking to people in the areas where the problems exist. Developing personal relationships with residents is a very important part of effective community policing.
101 is a waste of time it takes too long to get through. You know the problem areas people are telling you.
and the police go door to door and get forensics for graffiting a gay flag
It takes the same amount of time to watch paint dry as it does for 101 operators to answer the phone.
Actually spend some time on Melvin Square and you will see what goes on from drug dealing to stolen EBikes, funny thing is, the police station (Broadbury Road) is quarter of a mile away. Only yesterday there was a red scrambler riding around for hours doing wheelies down past Newquay shops with a balaclava on. They know who the offenders are yet do nothing, this YouTube vid is just another propaganda stunt #notrustinpolicing
MSM stereo typing again. 🇬🇧
Well it aint Millbrook Southampton. The police just sit and watch. 😅😅
The problem is, when they are caught, they are let off with a slap on the wrist, so no consequences…
We need Avon and Somerset police in hull.
Why not follow London and get fast ebikes cheap to run and you will catch them
Thesee are all e-bikes not motorbikes . Please don't label us with these scum . Shame on you for using click bait.
Our UK cops need to take some crime-fighting tips from US cops – that would sort out the bike-crime problem! 👮🚓👍
Ok
No
Dear Avon and Somerset Police,
Thank you for your lovely video of electric bikes being lawfully ridden by some youngsters having a bit of fun.
Where were the motorcycles mentioned in the title of your presentation?
Or are you just lying again, as you are constantly trained to do?
Since when is an e-bike a motorcycle?
How can we trust the police now, when there is so much evidence of two tier policing. The police have lost the trust of the people.
101?.. great joke.
