I'm sure someone's already made the connection, but if not: how on earth can the CPS square thier response to this with their prosection in the 'blow up Robin Hood airport' Tweet case? <br /><br />Like you, I've been 'radicalised' by abusive motorists and find it increasingly difficult to 'shrug off'. Some days, it just seems like a war zone...<br /><br />All the best and hope you get a result.ericonabike2004https://www.blogger.com/profile/02403342635924165887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651597981151570147.post-69011736988719396682010-12-07T16:35:24.962+00:002010-12-07T16:35:24.962+00:00It is interesting that they cite only the evidenti...It is interesting that they cite only the evidential burden instead of the legal issue. <br /><br />I agree that there seems - at the very least - one criminal transgression one behalf of the driver.<br /><br />With regard to the evidential burden, do they cite the problem. I cant imagine what it would be unless there are concerns about the clarity of the video.<br /><br />The terrifying conclusion of this is of course what needs to be done PRIOR to serious injury for the CPS to take some action. This would appear to be at the apogee of both criminality and evidence thereof.<br /><br />ShameRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542313786341633656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651597981151570147.post-12673159082719033142010-12-07T12:27:36.891+00:002010-12-07T12:27:36.891+00:00Good luck with your campaign.

Are they effectively saying: "not my fault, guv, blame the other guy!"<br /><br />Interestingly this article seems to show how things have become: http://www.bracknellnews.co.uk/news/bracknell/articles/2010/08/04/47726-injured-cyclist-ignored/<br /><br />In many people's minds its a case of perhaps we dont matter and that we might just go away. A failure of logic on their part, sadly. <br /><br />This "evidence" problem also raises questions for non-cycling related incidents. Say for example someone records evidence of a drug deal, the dealer gets in their car and the whole thing is caught on camera. According to the CPS practices that wouldnt be evidence.Downfaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184133679478493276noreply@blogger.com
