Section 59 Notice (My interptutation of a nasty piece of legislation)

These notices can only be issued by a uniformed police officer.

The officer can issue them for specific reasons:
1, riding off road. i.e. on a public footpath, bridleway or restricted byway.
2, causing, or is likely to cause, alarm, distress or annoyance to members of the public.

For point 1 it's black and white. You're riding where you shouldn't be.
For point 2 a member of the public MUST have reported you to the officer AND be able to identify you.

The consequence?
The first notice is a warning. On the second notice they can take your bike away and never give it back.
