Dyfed/Powys Police at their finest - Bikers stopped for going too slow!

A funny take on being stopped by Dyfed/Powys Police for going too slow on our motorbikes!
This is where the power of Youtube comes in to expose this waste of Police resources, surely in 2024 (OK this happened in 2023) the Police have got better things to be doing?

Just one point to answer a few comments, the camera is fitted to my mirror, I’m not holding it!
I don’t think it’d be possible to ride and hold a camera without crashing👍

Enjoy.

Rural single lane road. Free roaming sheep on the road… but you’re going too slow. Police man is a prat.

Good to see the Welsh police are as big a waste of time as English police

[arniesbox]

You know the Police have lost all respect when even a middle class couple are back-chatting at how daft the cop is being.

[colinmiller]

Is this in the same Wales that introduced 20mph limits to slow traffic down to reduce accidents?

[mickangel]

He's a perfect example of the sort of person who should not ever be allowed to be a police officer or be in any position of authority.

[Banditmanuk]

Thanks for giving this officer the publicity he deserves.

As a retired cop of 30yrs I’m astounded and disgusted at this utter TRIPE ! Is this what policing nowadays is all about?
Why is this cop out in the country/ snowdonia doing checks like this ? Ffs !

[nevillewalker]

As a retired police officer, ten of those as a traffic officer(car and bike) this really is disgusting.

I am a retired Met Police Officer and I could not agree more. Total waste of everyones time and public money. A pointless venture that he had to see through because he knew he had started off on the wrong foot and realised he was on the cusp of some deep doo doo. What we are seeing is damage limitation for some bad policing; trying to find something to prosecute to justify this rubbish. Non-conforming plates are an advisary. Tinted visors are not illegal, I use one all through the summer months, because not being able to see properly in bright or low sunlight IS hazardous.

You can put a police costume on a clown. Underneath he's still a clown.

Going too slow in a Country that has blanket 20 mph speed limits in the towns. This cop is an utter bell end, typical modern copper.

'We're off to do some real policing'. Priceless!!😅😅😅

Got stopped on my bike for going through a red light at a pedestrian crossing. I suggested that the light was actually green and there was no one at the crossing to push the button to activate it. The fine officer was insistent it was red and wrote a ticket. I asked what would happen if I refused to accept it. "Court and your funeral" was the reply. Didn't turn out quite as he'd expected. All I'll say is he hadn't noticed the Gopro on the front of the (and yes the light was very, very Green!)

Once they pull you, their massive ego's kick in, must find a fault !

[DamienFroody]

This is absolutely insane! This guy should be fired for abusive conduct.

[richardgiles]

He was disgraceful and really hope you have made a formal complaint about him.
Problem with officers like him is he gets everyone a bad name 😢😢

[peterforfun]

Cop make up his own illegal laws shows he is a Muppet

I bought a new car and wanted to see how fuel efficient it was so one night after a 12 hour shift and with a 5 hour drive home at 3am I decided to just put it into 6th gear and coast down an empty dual carriageway doing about 40mph at low rpm. I got pulled over by the police for going suspiciously slow. I explained that I wasn't in a rush to get anywhere and wanted to see what mpg I could get. He asked me how much and so I said 75mpg to which he just said 'Oh nice' and he just left.

The standard of policing in this country is pathetic. They can't find time to investigate assults, burglaries or rapes but can waste time on petty things like number plates which then turn out to be legal after all

[clivebrown]

How sad is that. Retired police officer of 31yrs I had a few oddballs to manage but he takes the biscuit, the whole packet. What a complete t....! There was no reason to issue a ticket, having stopped you, that is two sensible riders he has now successfully alienated a huge section of the motoring public against the police. His bosses need to have a word with him. Perhaps you should show the video to the police to demonstrate he ignored some clear offences to pick on bikers. Shame on him, you showed calm restraint well done you.
