IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

Using the off-road bikes will enable specially trained officers to enter and patrol public parks, paths and waste ground providing a regular presence which will disrupt large-scale disturbances and discourage large groups congregating.
Officers will use the bikes to patrol hotspot/targeted locations at key days and times, especially at weekends, when residents experience the most distress from the anti-social behaviour of illegal off-road motorcycle use.

If the dirt bike plod have the magic spray this might make a difference. However I'm kinda concerned at the need for them to be dirt bikes. Yes, it gives the coppers the capability of skipping off-road but as the bampots tend to do this in areas where that is forbidden and decidedly unsafe, do we now have to be wary of both the cops and the robbers screaming by in parks? Are they allowed to actively pursue on these?
can't they just use specially adapted ravens ?
I think they felt that @Iwrats made excessive demands of Police Scotland as part of the raven training / deployment contract.
i think we could probably crowdfund anti-thieving ravens for PS as it'd be popular, leaving the current flock to concentrate on anti-social feral latchkeys.
Remember all - IWRATS' Law allows only one offence against heaven for which pinning and exposure to corvids is the sole and correct punishment. That offence is the theft of a two-wheeler.
We can't have bands of vigilante ravens getting bogged down in paperwork and demarcation disputes.
I'd still be willing to watch a feature about a maverick raven who rubs people up the wrong way but gets results.
Yes! Can her partner be a straight-laced green parakeet up from London determined to prove herself to the local birds?
And a stool pigeon. This stuff writes itself.

You're all too late. JK has already written it, but starring a Cormorant.
