police over-reaction

[ScooterChic]

just read this in mcn

so there we are hundreds of bikers enjoying a drink and a chat at the Bassetts pole bike meet on a fine summer evening,
no fights,muggings or anti-social behaviour,when at around 8.30pm,the police to block all public entrances to the public house and mcdonalads car park,and stop any one going about their lawful business of buying a drink or something to eat.
When asked why,a copper replied “wE have,because we can,it’s a saftey issue.”
there was only one wheelie, and a few loud-ish exhuaust,but by riders that were actually going home at the time.

Thats disgraceful, Sounds like the police could do with taking lessons from Poole council, Every Tuesday eve, they shut the town quat off to cars etc and bikes and trikes only to park on the quay, Theres plenty of drink and food to choose from and even though there are thousands of bikes, there is no trouble and thats why it has been allowed to go on for years and at the same time each bike pays £1 topark along the quay and all monies raised goes to local charities!
