Best way to send Youtube footage to the Old Bill?

Maybe its time we all got "You are on video" printed on the back of our cycling jerseys!

If it was last week, you've probably already ran out of time to report it. Experience by Police force varies, but read about the issues here -> http://beyondthekerb.org.uk/2015/09/03/guest-post-nipping-it-in-the-bud/

Post it to one of the Journos here - they love stories like that and Video goes down well. 

I'm sure they can work out who it goes to.

 Good footage - they're utter c*cks. 

Burn it onto a disc or a USB, you can then produce it as your exhibit when you make a statement. This produces the physical evidence rather than rely on crap police IT & poor IT skills. Once burnt to disc, phone 101 to report it and ask for an appointment to see an officer. Some forces run decent appointment systems, others will just put you on the waiting list to be seen.

In terms of dealing with offences - the issue you may have is identification. Whilst you've got the registration of the VW, and footage of the driver, you cannot ID the driver from the footage. So the police will need to serve notice to the registered keeper to identify the driver, and then interview the driver. (Obviously the keeper could be driver). If the person thought to be the driver denies being the driver you may well have to conduct an identification procedure. No big deal, but you can see how this isn't as straight-forward as just passing the footage to the police.

It's a shame you feel you have to ask 'whether the police will give a toss', but honestly, it's probably going to depend on who (the specific officer) you speak to.

Also don't stick it on YouTube or other similar sites. By all means do it after a court case though.

Depends on the force but most traffic depts run operations to target these type of drivers. My force, Northumbria, has op dragoon where they collate the evidence then target the drivers. Don't take it to your local nick as odds are it will go the way of the driver getting a bollocking and that's it.

Most forces are behind the times with social media, it's often corporate communications that run the feeds. Best thing would be to go into your local station with an appointment. Take your laptop with it downloaded ( don't rely on them having a useable internet service ) and showing it to whoever sees you. Then get them to write the link down or you do it. The only issue comes from rules about the storage of media, a YouTube link might not be sufficient as they should have the original standalone media I.e. Memory card. Because even though it pretty much never happens, it stops any edited footage and as such closes down an avenue for unscrupulous defence solicitors. 

Dangerous driving, definitely serious enough. 

You can tweet now to local police forces. I'd probably go with that. Tweet a link to your vid.

Idiot even spins off after the chat, so clearly he's a permanent idiot and shouldn't be on the roads.

I guess it varies from force to force but mine take it very seriously. You could phone the none emergency number, 101,  and ask if they have officers who deal with cycling issues. You could then email them the link.
