The angry driver is denying vine's version even though it looks quite obvious on film but then during the miner's strike all footage was filmed from behind the police so it always looked like miners were the aggressors and you never saw it from their perspective. This was a matter of dispute for people on the ground. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16795#post-229822 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 22:16:52 +0000 gibbo 229822@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo</p> <p><em>No need for corroboration from witnesses in England or famous people land? </em></p> <p>IMO, the real mystery is why, if something's caught on camera, there'd be a need for witnesses.</p> <p>Surely footage is more reliable than, "My mate backs up what I'm saying." </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16795#post-229817 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 21:26:07 +0000 gembo 229817@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No need for corroboration from witnesses in England or famous people land? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16795#post-229815 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 21:12:40 +0000 chdot 229815@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>BBC story also had this link -</p> <p><a href="http://think.direct.gov.uk/cycling.html" rel="nofollow">http://think.direct.gov.uk/cycling.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16795#post-229807 Mon, 05 Sep 2016 20:31:11 +0000 nobrakes 229807@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37277374" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37277374</a></p> <p>Wonder if being a public face helps your prosecution chances.
