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".

You are preventing them being apprehended for their crime.

Invalid analogy. I don't stop drivers and tell them which roads are clear of traps either.

The police will prevent the crime of speeding for good by nabbing them
enough times to get them off the road where they can do the public no
harm. Warning them is obstruction, pure and simple.

You're preventing it from continuing (we're assuming here that speeding should be a crime in the first place).

No, they will nab them enough times to make them buy a satnav with a speed camera database - or at least that's what happened to me.
