What, it's on her way to the station where she catches the train to work
every day and she "had not realised it was one-way"?

Yeah, right.

fro m the article in question it seems that an officer for the crown
collection agency believed that the cyclist's thinking be wrong and
decided he could arrest despite there being no evidence that any
signage (whether or not exists) was contravened with intent, or
otherwise. By all accounts presented, this appears to be an unlawful
arrest causing personal injury and unnecessary detention.

appropriate signage.

The witness was the person that detained her. tTaffic signage and the laws
applicable to them applies to traffic, bicycles are traffic. Would you like
a longer shovel?

Apart from the police officer who witnessed the (alleged) offence, you
mean? And apart from her trying to abscond?

A police officer, you mean?

believed that the cyclist's thinking be wrong


You have no reason for it to "seem" that way to you. Thinking is a
personal matter. The cyclist was arrested for seeking to leave the scene
of her observed breach of the law - that is, her illegal *action*, not
her improper thought.

and
decided he could arrest despite there being no evidence that any
signage (whether or not exists) was contravened with intent, or
otherwise. By all accounts presented, this appears to be an unlawful
arrest causing personal injury and unnecessary detention.


Really?

Do you believe that she didn't know that the street was one-way, despite
signage to say so (as there always is) and the her going that way to
work every day?

She should be convicted of attempted insult of the intelligence (I'll
exempt you from victimhood there - it seems that it didn't insult
yours), let alone anything else.
