A motorcyclist has told how he was electronically tagged for four months and given a 36-hour community order – for dropping mint imperials while riding.

Thomas Payne, 19, must be at home from 8pm till 6am under the terms of his...

Yeah, the cops were gutted that it wasn't doughnuts, if it had been he would have got away.

He was tagged because he drops sweets onto the road? They are not very dangerous at all, i hit a stone (big enough to cause the front wheel to phyisally leave the road for a split second) this morning on the way to college this week on the connor downs road.

On a road nearby me, some guy has his driveway marked with big (maybe foot wide by half foot high) stones, and he drove over it (could see his tyre tracks going through where the stones were). Needless to say two of these huge stones were deposited right in the middle of the road. I moved em out of the way and reported it and they could care less, that would have been an instant off im sure!... Lost all faith in british police
