Any of you guys seen this fellas You Tube channel and whatever other platform he posts on? I'm all for seeing road users who break the laws/rules get punished, but this guy goes way to far. I should point out before anyone gets the wrong impression that I do believe if someone is breaking the law they should be punished. While I have absolutely no sympathy for some of these drivers, it's Mickeys attitude and the way he goes about his business and some of his "collars" is what I despise.

The first few of his videos which I seen left me kind of impressed with him to be honest, but that's because they were genuine enough going about his daily business and coming across absolute assholes.

But then you look at what he actually does, he has targeted a few locations where he can shoot some fish in a barrel. He purposely just goes out to catch motorists breaking the law, which some will commend him for and some of the absolute tossers he has caught most definitely deserved their punishment, but most of them are quite innocent and Mickey is just on a bit of a power trip. He cycles up and down gridlocked traffic to try and catch someone who might be checking their messages/maps whatever. These are stationary cars who are not moving anywhere. He sneaks up on them and if they don't twig him looking through their window he might read out their text/private information. He calls out their reg number in the phonetic alphabet as if he is on the Bill. He stands behind bushes with his helmet cam on ready to jump out at unsuspecting road users. He speaks to them like he is their superior.

I am surprised I haven't seen any comments on his videos which slate him off for what he does, but I guess he probably just gets them deleted. I have only seen one video of his where someone shouted some stick at him for doing what he does. I'm surprised he hasn't had more threats, although maybe he just keeps those clips to himself or I'd say it would be more likely that he is trying to get people prosecuted for threating behaviour.

I'm surprised he hasn't been slapped around a bit or had his bike nicked (although maybe he has). All in all, I find him to be a very unlikable person, slithery and sneaky.

What do you think of him and they way he conducts his operations?

Don't underestimate stupidity, we have a drug dealer in Dublin turn up at the station to report his gear taken. It was the Gardai who cleared it in a raid.

Now that, is a special kind of stupid. I hope he was arrested on the spot

Now, in fairness, he reported a break-in at his house. He didn't mention the 'gear'.

You have obviously audited him so we'll take your word for it.

Knockout result for Mikey

Apparently Chris previously killed someone in a crash but has obviously managed to recover from that trauma.

What you make of this one? for me the police were completely at fault. Pretty petty to turn around and follow

Surprised he didn't get done for impersonating an officer as well, I would have thought the Met would be unimpressed with that.

Cop is completely in the wrong, but I bet he believes he wasn't.

Maybe he's the C.E.O. of some company.

Fair play to yer man for standing up to the copper. Ridiculous to suggest that the cyclist was accelerating in the second or two that he was in view.

So he killed a man previously while driving, and still hasn't learnt the basics of complying with traffic law. There's something wrong here.

too many knocks to the head I'd imagine

Just looking at his reg I kinda wish we had personalised plates in Ireland, I wouldn't begrudge someone driving a nice car but it would make it easier to sport the dickheads

Cycling Mikey is not very funny really, Dom Jolly is way better

At least in Chris's case the personalised plate is on a Bentley- He clearly has money to burn. Always amazes me when I'm in London how many people have splashed cash on a personalised plate to slap on a dingy looking BMW 320d turboclacker.

I'm guessing we don't have this in Ireland, where videos can be sent to the Garda and the offenders get points/fined.

If we could do that, would you report people? I don't mean hiding in the bushes the way he does, but if you could send a video into the Gardai when you saw someone on the phone, would you?

It can be done here, and is being done here.

You need to submit video on USB stick here.

Why are posts being deleted?

magicbastarder

a post which called for GBH on someone was deleted, so further responses to that were also deleted.

Seve OB

Hmmm to be fair I don’t think anyone was calling for GBH.

I think what was said was that some day the lad is going to cross the wrong person and will suffer the consequences.

Honestly I don't see the issue with Mikey,

Some people waste their lives watching tv or gettin drunk in the pub, if he wants to catch people doing illegal/dangerous stuff then so be it. If it saves a few lives by getting people to stop driving on wrong side of the road or to stop driving with mobiles then its all good.

One thing thats evident from the videos and from my own personal experience....many motorist see no wrong in the outright dangerous and illegal things they do. It's important they come to realise that people can and will report them for these things.

One for those who tell us about how Mikey is bound to get murdered by an affronted aggressive driver one day - this is what we're up against;

TBF, I spent my lockdown and a bit of time since targetting KOMs on Strava. This is infinitely more useful to society, so long as he isn't hurting anyone, let him at it.

I cant conclusively say he is of benefit. Maybe if he reported without the backchat, but his ego really gets in the way sometimes.

What does his ego get in the way of ? Not his reporting or police or court actions, given that he has over 1,000 penalty points issued to his name.
