If the incident was taken to court and the evidence was presented to a judge then the verdict would be not guilty, that is what i have an issue with.
The british justice system is supposed to be about a fair trial and a decision should be made by somebody who has studied and trained to become qualified to make that decision. If the police were to be driving round in one of their unmarked cars with video filming equipment and followed a motorcyclist "performing a prolonged wheelie" then i am sure they would take the offender through the court system as they know a conviction would be guaranteed, these section 59's are just something that is issued based on the opinion of a police officer when he knows that the correct and respected legal procedures of going through a court of law would fail to get a conviction.
