Default Police pick on cyclist

Rough translation:

"the cyclist got lippy and tried to be clever by shining the "light" in the
officer's face" so they nicked him.


You mean, the police picked on someone they thought would be an easy
target [1] and when he wasn't supplicant enough they got annoyed at
not being shown "respect". No-doubt they thought this would be an
easy one for their box ticking targets.


[1] the police in Edinburgh are noticeable for not turning up with
the same zeal to attend assaults, neds drinking Buckie and being a
nuisance, the activities of the bankers in Edinburgh and a whole
host of other things.
