CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK

For riding a bike...

Imagine cycling along happily during a Critical Mass bike ride, providing the tunes with a soundsystem on a trailer, only to be distracted by a wave of fluorescent yellow and stopped by the police - that is, made stationary, against your will - and then be charged with obstruction of a road and cycling without due care and attention.

This happened to one unlucky cyclist in Edinburgh on the 25th. Warning to all cyclists: the hazard of police cars swinging into your oncoming path without warning or reason.
