Now when I used to watch Alister Smarmy Stewart on police camera etc, the one thing plod would desperately try not to do is hit the vehicle they were chasing.
Seem though time have changed, and now they just use GTA style enforcement, like the American police.
Any ideas when they started using these methods ? I’m surprised just it seems it is just ripe for a million lawsuits from criminals with whip lash.
Had to laugh at the guy at the end though who drove into a parked cop car.

Some pursuits are called off if it gets too dangerous. They’ll back off and the whirly bird will keep an eye on you. If the whirly bird ain’t there and the offence they originally wanted to stop you for is only minor, if you drive dangerously enough, there’s a chance you’ll get away.
However, if you attack plod with a samurai sword (like in the video), you won’t be getting away.

If the chase has the bird in the sky they will call the cars off so the crooks think they got away but are really being tracked by the bird who is relaying info to the ground. Its almost comical watching crooks trying almost everything to get away from the cops. I remember seeing one hide in a pond or in a wheelie bin. Its funny to see all the bins in the street show up black on the thermal bar one that is glowing like a light bulb.
Makes me laugh on programs like these when they trot out the same old lines like “professional drivers”, “highly trained”, “best drivers on the road”, “highest standard” and make out that only traffic police are capable of driving fast and safe- and then show clips like this which just shows them as complete fecktards who given any excuse drive like they’re on the xbox
This clip is very old, just look at the cars. I know the traffic sergeant who was on duty that day. He said the paperwork was immense and Ronnie got sent back to driving school for a re-course. To be fair, if you’re at work and one of your mates was attacked with a sword, you would go all out to catch the scum, what ever your profession.

‘Award for their bravery’, bunch of tossers:lol:

the best bit for me is once the 6 plods have got the dude on his knees and subdued,then the plod wifey eventually catches up with him,and to get her point made that shes one of the guys… she prods the scumbag in the belly with a telescopic baton.( ive got one in my cab,but apparently they are classed as illegal offensive weapons,must be diff rules for plod.),to me its really funny,mabey or mabey not you don’t see it…plus…how fat and unfit is the 25 stone motorbikeplodblob who got the sword waved in his face… he could hardly speak for being out of breath…britains finest…
To be honest if there was a guy with a sword who had already swung at a copper i’d rather they did whatever they had to do to stop him rather than worry about petty issues and paperwork

They obviously don’t want to go through the discomfort of “smearing themselves in cold mud” like in that film “Predator”…
