Video: Bike cop chases after Lamborghini to ticket driver

YouTube footage of incident in Japan gets more than 2 million views

Footage showing a bike cop in Japan chasing after a Lamborghini Huracan to issue the driver a ticket has gone viral since being posted to YouTube last month.

The officer, riding a bike that wouldn't look out of place on a quick trip to the shops, complete with front basket, leapt into action after the driver apparently ignored a traffic signal.

After catching up with the £180,000 supercar, the office told the driver to pull over, then knelt down to be at eye level with the motorist as he wrote out the ticket,

At least the officer didn't attempt to ride his bicycle over the Lamborghini - unlike a BMX rider in Portland, Oregon who did just that in 2015 when he spotted Italian cars parked outside a local restaurant.

Amazing what happens with some actual police to enforce the rules isn't it?

And that cop looks the business as well ... boots, smart uniform, cap.

Not like the poncey twits in the UK with their size XXXL fleece jackets.

And this shows the difference in thinking that leads to far worse motoring crime.
You run a red light here and motorists are pretty sure they'll never be caught, they speed and they think they'll never be caught, they drive like cunts and think no one will catch them or even if they do get a slapped wrist at best.
Again dealing with broken windows and having a zero tolerance to motor crimes changes the way of thinking and from that not only does motor crime become less frequent it's looked upon as anti social if not an attack on society and policing becomes easier.
