In one of the papers today a high ranking copper is complaining about horse riders wearing high viz with the words "Polite" or "Please" on the back and saying that they could be arrested. Many years ago a friend had a big white motor bike with a white fairing, he was riding somewhere well South of Scotland and he was wearing a high viz jacket. He was pulled by the police who said he had been watched by CCTV (probably a novelty in those days) and was asked to remove his high viz as he could be confused with a police motorcyclist. He refused and was threatened with arrest. His response was OK which police station do you want me to drive to, at which point the police told him to go away. That must have been at least 20 years ago, I wonder if it is the same plod?
