How the stop criminals in mopeds.
Yesterday’s episode of BBC’s ‘Critical Incident’ showed our officers keeping London’s streets safe from moped crime.
Help keep moped crime down. #LockChainCover to deter thieves.

In tight and congested cities, two wheeled vehicles provide a great tool for criminals…as long as the cops are not allowed to play pinball with them.
Here is a BBC video about Moped Crime that will give you an idea about what is going on.
And remember, this is London which probably has more more surveillance cameras (private and government) than possibly any other city in the world. Depending on the source, the estimates are between 500,000 and 600,000 + cameras or one for every fourteen Londoners. But vigilance can only go so far and then you need action.
And playing interception with mopeds makes for great video.
Oh to walk around with a crappy cellphone containing a few oz of explosives and another cellphone in your pocket to remotely detonate the first one after some moped assholes swipe it.
You can be sure that in that case the whole weight of the juridical system comes crashing down on you.
Because defending yourself is bad for a subject of the crown.
Yeah, cameras are great for.figuring out what happened and backtracing … after the dust settles.
Wait…. Watching that video, I saw moped riders carrying hatchets (probably illegal), machetes (definitely illegal), and even a handgun or two (“holy s@#t!” illegal).
How’s all that “weapon control” working out, huh?
As “well” as it works in any other liberal hellhole.
BTW, I found it bizarre that criminals caught on tape had their license plates blurred out. I guess that’s like other odd practices in Europe, where for example it may be illegal to print the names of defendants in newspaper reports about their trial.
