Cops have been slammed after they refused to stop a biker who pulled a series of death-defying wheelies in full view of a police car.<br /><br />A shocking clip shows the balaclava-clad rider first taunting officers before raising the front wheel of his dirt bike high above his head as he motors alongside them.<br /><br />He then holds one hand in the air while balancing on a single wheel before crossing his legs over and kneeling on his seat as part of his hair-raising stunt.<br /><br />The biker, who was filmed travelling along the A58 westbound, in Leeds, West Yorks, later repeated his sick trick for a car filled with lads who roared him on.<br /><br />But when the clip was posted on social media, furious locals asked why police didn’t stop the motorcyclist as soon as he began pulling his alarming manoeuvres <br /><br />One shocked resident simply wrote: “How the hell did he get away with that.”<br /><br />While another added: “Yet I drive slightly over the limit in a 30 and get a fine and points - where is the justice”<br /><br />A further user said: “Wtaf!!!… they need reporting for ignoring that..”<br /><br />And another commented: “Omg why didn’t they grab hold of his leg - cocky f**ker !”<br /><br />Following the incident at 4pm on Sunday (Mar 26), a West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said officers could only pursue bikes if they had the right training.<br /><br />They said: “The pursuit of motorbikes is permitted in West Yorkshire only by officers trained to the required level in a suitable vehicle.<br /><br />“Any potential pursuit situation must be appropriately assessed with full consideration given to the safety of members of the public, the officers involved and the rider of the motorbike.”<br /><br />“We are still looking into the circumstances of this incident, but we have been able to establish that the officer involved had activated body-worn video to capture footage of the suspect and the manner of driving, before making a deliberate tactical decision to deviate from their route to de-escalate the risks around a situation involving a rider who was clearly already driving dangerously and had a high probability that he would fail to stop.<br /><br />“We are aware of the level of public concern that motorbike-related crime and anti-social behaviour causes in our communities and continue to target the issue through a range of proactive operations, alongside our partner agencies.”
