It is illegal but I think it was more an attempt to extort money from me.
However, I was in a very bad mood at the time so I hopped on the back of the cop's moped and said "fine, take me in. I don't care any more. I'll pay the fine." and he & his partner let me go in return for a couple of 50 cent cups of coffee at a kiosk.
They also gave me their phone number in case I wanted to go party with them later that night
great Monday morning laugh! So did you go party with them

.. careful they may have had you lined up to take part in their Ukrainean sideline movie 'Cops & Throbbers' !Not sure what to do with self now the olympics are (almost) over.
No, I was in town with a bunch of friends for my mate's bachelor's party trip so I had to carry on with them (although, as noted, I was in a foul mood so I ended up bailing out of the festivities around 2am that night
)This all took place in Odessa, Ukraine.
moscow always seem such a mad place.
i was there about 7 years ago, great trip, (bar gettign chased about red square at 4am by a pack of wild dogs
its like Durham on steriods with the egotistical prices of London
..
If someone recommends York - tell them to jog on.....
I remember going there about 10 years ago and thinking exactly the same thing - haven't been back since ! The only good shops there were selling natural stone flooring at Knightsbridge prices
I had about £500 to spend - someone told me the shopping was brilliant so i decided to go a bit mad - I bought some nougat from a special nougat shop!!!
.. guess all those loaded Yorkshire farmers who feign things are always so "tight" when it comes to paying need somewhere local to be relieved of their suppressed desires to splurge. Oh - and apparently it's London-commutable (so I'm told) and so you may as well be in Henley-on-Thames as far as prices are concerned, eh ?
Not been one this this week?
Moi:
Tonight - Newmarket for a Tom Jones gig at the races. Corporate shizness
Tomorrow - pick up £700 worth of lighting for new front room, quick hello at a mate's kid's 1st birthday, followed by goodbye lunch with my childhood best friend before he heads back to NYC. Then drive to Oxfordshire for dinner with the missus' Mum.
Sunday - mate's kid's Xting. Will try and duck the church.
Where did the rock and roll go?
All said with such understatement!
I hope it's tasty!
I am off to Newcastle on Wed to spend in proper shops 8)
