Comment | When I said civil, I did not mean civilians. I mean civil offences which is what a lot of these offences come under. My view is to create almost a 2 tier police force, 1 of which spend the time only going after these types of offences. they would still have the same authority as a cop in terms of stopping, requiring ID and so on. if a situation became hostile while dealing with a stoppage of a dangerous cyclist for example, they would have the power to hold them and call for 'real' police to come and arrest for the relevant offence.

not saying its perfect, but something has to be done imo. |
