This is actually quite comical.

"Police in Cambridge issued ten fixed penalty notices last week
in a crackdown against cyclists riding the wrong way up a
one-way street last Thursday, but were unaware that further up
the street, a woman was warning other bike riders of the
operation."

"police say that they would have arrested the woman for
obstruction had they known what she was doing."(!)

So, someone is telling cyclists that if they ride up a one-way
street they are liable to get a ticket, and the police want to
arrest her. This sounds totally bizarre. It means stopping
someone from committing an offence, is an offence, because the
police cannot issue a ticket. Talk about the police having their
bubble burst.

Drivers do this all the time when there is a speed trap, drivers
coming the other way flash their lights ferociously as a warning
to others. What a bunch of ******s the police have become.
=====================================

Why, because they are enforcing the law?

One of the nonsensical laws.

Say I see someone about to commit a murder, and stop them from
doing so, would the police arrest me?

Preventing a crime is not the same as assisting someone to avoid
detection of their crime.

Flashing your lights at someone who is speeding (which everybody
does by the way), stops them speeding. You're preventing the
"crime". --http://petersparrots.comhttp://petersphotos.com

No you are helping a criminal escape punishment.

By preventing the crime, not moving it. Twit. READ what I write.

if they are already speeding then the crime has already happened, therefore
you cannot prevent it.

How would you know that a "crime" "has already happened"?
