Once saw one of these Police TV reality shows quite a number of years ago before they all got popular an officer pulled over a motorcyclist for having no lights. The rider argued he didn't need them so the officer radioed in for clarification. The Sergeant on duty advised that he would have to send over a traffic officer to inspect the motorcycle, which he duly did & once the officer was there after further discussion it was agreed that the said motorcycle was in fact legal. Unfortunately this whole process took quite a long time & by the time it was agreed it was legal it had passed the point where it would no longer be legal to continue to ride it, he therefore had to push it the last 2 miles home. Now whether this was real, a setup or not i have no idea, but I have often wondered exactly what happened, me I'd have told them somebody was coming to pick me up, wait 15 minutes & ride home
