Motorbikes to be crushed after Burnley crackdown by police (From Lancashire Telegraph)

It'snot the motorbikes fault they're driven by idiots. Why don't the Police sell the bikes instead and give the money to charity?

There's a crackdown everyday !
Shame it does nothing positive to society

I agree with full-sized bikes being sold, but the mini-scrotos should be crushed because the only people who are going to buy them are other scrotes who will just make someone else's life a misery.

This would only add to the problem if resold.

It must be positive if it means that people are not kept awake all hours of the night by these morons riding bikes.

How about charging the culprits with driving an unroadworthy vehicle, having no licence or road tax, no insurance etc?

I won't hold my breath...

Or give them back to their rightful owners

Yes but they will just go and steal another bike

Agreed. If an offence has been comitted then prosecute. The police should not have a mandate to steal and destroy private property

They aren't "stealing" property, section 59 of the Police reform act and section 165 of the road traffic act Gives them powers to seize and under certain circumstances destroy any vehicle being driven/ridden by uninsured persons or persons driving otherwise in accordance with a driving licence or if it is being driven / ridden in such a way that it is likely to cause annoyance to others.

If you think this is wrong and the cops shouldnt have the right to take these motorcycles being driven by sub human fu*kwits off the roads then write to your
MP.

If you or your car was hit by one of these idiots you'd be the first to whinge and moan that the cops aren't doing anything about them.

So "Bucko" prosecuting minors is nigh impossible, it’s about time the police got tough on scrotes like this, let’s look at what these law abiding citizens where up to, continually using these bikes time after time, not using crash helmets, having no insurance, causing upset to ordinary people and you think the police should not destroy these bikes after their owners!! have been warned several times, you will be quoting “Human Rights” next, get a life man.

If there is such an issue with these dirt bikes then why is there not a dedicated track where these people can go and have a blast? simply because people would object to that as well! These young people are only doing what comes naturally to them and having some fun, whilst i agree that it can be annoying if someone is racing past your front door on a loud bike time and time again but i think that the police's time could be better spent on other crimes.
For years i spent scrambling around Paragon off watery lane and jacks key then up on to cranbery lane moor but try that today and you get your bike crushed is rediculous.
The farm in feniscowles just off sandy lane was a good track and recently he tried to open it up again but only to get the residents in tockholes which is around 2 miles away saying it was to noisey and spoiling their peace and quiet......aw bless.
Give the kids a proper track to play on and then problem is massively reduced for all concerned.
You want kids to grow up with respect for the law and what does it do but take their toys and smashes them up...and you want kids respect well no chance cos your going about it the wrong way.
As for the argument about helmets and insurance you do not need them on a field and for kids you had better learn to ride your bikes better cos if the cops can catch you without the chopper then your a crap rider!
Watchout tockholes cos i'm comin for your bunnies soon so that should give you all something else to moan about.

"They aren't "stealing" property, section 59 of the Police reform act and section 165 of the road traffic act Gives them powers to seize and under certain circumstances destroy any vehicle being driven/ridden by uninsured persons or persons driving otherwise in accordance with a driving licence or if it is being driven / ridden in such a way that it is likely to cause annoyance to others."

They have given themselves powers but it's still nothing more than theft.

"If you or your car was hit by one of these idiots you'd be the first to whinge and moan that the cops aren't doing anything about them."

I would insist the damage is made good, just like I would if a car hit mine. I would not be demanding punitive police powers to steal property

"do you live any where near these little a holes that screem up and down on fields,main roads near kids etc the law is simple no licence,no mot ,no tax,no insurance no bike simples if i drove my car without the proper paperwork then i would expect to lose it"

Yes I live near scrotes. Anti social behaviour has laws to deal with it through effective policing, which is what we need more of. If you would expect to loose your car because of a bit of paper then you have been totally brainwashed by the state.

"not using crash helmets," Ahh didums. What a serious crime.

Are you just pretending or are you genuinely thicker than Whale Sh1t ?

Police giving themselves powers? Tell me just one instance of when that has ever happened?

You have clearly been a naughty boy in the past and have some form of axe to grind.

I sincerely hope that the next time you are out walking an off road bike being ridden by mungo with no licence or insurance ploughs into you and breaks your leg (I would of course wish you a speedy recovery). I would love to know your opinion on this subject then. Especially if the Police turned up and seized it off the rider. Would you be so scathing then?
The point is that these people who ride in such a manor are a danger to road users and pedestrians. These powers exist to prevent them from causing injury. If you cannot see this and think that the Police response is in some way disproportionate then there is very much something wrong with you.

I don't really want to get into a debate with someone so insulting so I'll keep it brief.

Police lobby for, and are often given, extra powers that make their job easier at the expense of some liberty. It's called lazy policing.

Can you provide one incident of a biker breaking someones leg while out walking? It doesn't happen does it. Even so, I wouldn't change my opinion just because I had become personally involved. Same with the "what if it was your kid / mum / sister" etc arguement that always gets trotted out.

The police already have powers to prevent them causing injury but they prefer to take the lazy option.

And by the way, I have not clearly been a naughty boy in the past. I have no criminal record. Just because I speak out when I see an injustice, doesn't make me a criminal unless you live in a brainwashed world where the state can do no wrong.

Well you have straight away contradicted yourself. The Police often lobby for and are GIVEN extra powers. They don't make them up as you have previously claimed, there is a system in place where such changes to legislation are sanctioned by a due process.

As I have said so many times recently to others who moan about the Police and the authorities, if it displeases you so much in this country go and live in North Korea or Syria and see what things are like over there.

Positive action at last. Now let's see the police doing something similar with cars when the driver has been caught using a mobile phone while the vehicle was in motion.

There's no contradiction there if you read it properly and apply a little understanding.

Why North Korea or Syria? Are you seriously saying that we should be thankful, simply because we have it better than those hideous countries?

Why not Switzerland or Greece? Are you only able to pick seriously oppressive countries as a comparison to make your case? It can't be a very strong one then, can it.

You seem to be the only one on here that has a problem with the Police seizing problem vehicles. That speaks for itself really.

The likelihood is that you've probably just received three penalty points on your licence for speeding and you want to blame others apart from yourself.

I'll look forward to reading your "reasoned" comments on other stories on here.

Yes, it says that i'm in a minority. Us Libertarians usually are. It doesn't necesarily say I am wrong.

I love the way you think I must have broken the law in some way to disagree with this. I take full responsibility for my own actions.

I'll look forward to debating with you on other stories, just as long as you leave out the personal insults in future.
