Obstructing the police is.

What if they are, as in this case, being over zealous or do you
consider everything the uniformed police do is perfect.

All I have seen is that single video. There is no evidence there that
the police were being over-zealous. If you have other evidence, what
is it?

The statement made by the police themselves, which cited an act that
has already been held not to apply to CM and claimed powers that the
police do not posess.

Do you have a linky?

No, because he's lying. Cyclists are no more exempt from the Public
Order Act than they are from gravity. They have a standing right in
respect of one particular clause only, regarding prior notice of route.

I usually try to be polite, so I ask for a link rather than saying that
someone's (ahem) mistaken.

In any case, there's no evidence in that video showing what the arrest
was about. The woman being arrested may have been a mugger for all we know.
