What a prick.

OK he had stopped and put a hand down - but not a foot.

(PS He is an A* knob as he has to have two cameras)

the police driver would have been able to see that the cyclist had stopped
completely (and well short of the centre island, well done!), which means
the cyclist is NOT about to wobble all over the road or suddenly jump 5 feet
to the right, and therefore can be passed quite closely without any
significant danger.
if it was a horse then yes, the police should have passed much more
carefully, but this is an obviously (from the recumbent) experienced
(probably adult) cyclist that has completely stopped.

If we assume that it were safe would it still be good manners to give
someone who expects not to be seen this kind of fright?

He had stopped, the police car passed in a safe manner, the police
driver would have seen that the cyclist had stopped.

What a prick.

Well known one. Talk about being a natural victim.

What has that got to do with it? As soon as he heard the sirens he would
have needed to pull over as far left as possible anyway.

Why was it a fright? He must have heard the sirens.

The man is a well known knob. He has posted dozens of films on youtube to
show how hard done by he is. Bit like Doug, but with a camera.
