Motorway Cops Catching Britain's Speeders S06E01 (24th June 2024)
Transcript
00:00I'm just going to push it over there so it's out of the way, do you know what, secretly
00:07I'd love to have a little go at it. Scooter cops!
00:11In Newcastle city centre, the rider of an electric scooter has crashed into a parked
00:18car.
00:19Deep breath in mate, just blow into that for us please.
00:21And the results are in for PC Jan Schiemlischer.
00:25He's hammered, he's blown double over the limit. Not every night you see a 61 year old
00:29drunk on a motorised scooter just flying about the town centre.
00:35He's landed straight on his face, he looks quite sore, but I think his head is going
00:41to hurt more than anything in the morning.
00:49UK police forces have been sent over 100,000 dash cam clips, exposing the most dangerous
00:57drivers on our roads.
01:00All hell has broken loose on our highways.
01:05You on a lesson? At least it wasn't your test.
01:09We join the motorway cops of Northumbria police.
01:12Shall we gun? Why aye, of course we're gunning.
01:17As they drive criminals of the North East off the roads.
01:21Crash, crash, crash.
01:23And put the deadliest drivers behind bars.
01:27Stand still, tears out.
01:29You want to tell us who you are?
01:31I'm a police officer, what do I look like? Am I in fancy dress?
01:34Do whatever you want. Do you want to arrest me? Do it.
01:36I'll let the dog out on you.
01:37I'm getting a little bit bored of you now.
01:39Jazz, watch your moppings.
01:41Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel is dash cam.
01:47It's vital evidence.
01:48Does everyone have any dash cam at all?
01:50And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers.
01:53Bloody idiots.
01:55They are a law unto themselves.
01:58Police one, criminal nil.
02:08Tonight, criminals are taken down.
02:15Means you're tired of me driving it.
02:17Suspected drug dealers dress down.
02:19Underneath your gown or just your trousers?
02:21No.
02:24Do you want to fasten that up again?
02:28What's your name then?
02:29George.
02:30And learner drivers dumbed down.
02:32Spell George for us.
02:34G-E-O-R-G-E-R-O.
02:38George.
02:40Mate, give us your real details.
02:42In their fight against crime, Northumbria police make over 27,000 arrests a year.
02:51And at Etole Lane station in Newcastle, cops know a good time to catch the bad guys is after dark.
02:59Night shifts are definitely the best.
03:01I think you get the more exciting job.
03:03It's a lot of fun.
03:05It's a lot of fun.
03:07It's a lot of fun.
03:09It's a lot of fun.
03:12Tonight, PC Brian Camsell is leading the charge.
03:16Sort of.
03:18This is laser tuner working.
03:20This is the battery spot.
03:27Right, it's all the kit ready, let's go.
03:34Behind every successful motorway cut is a high-tech car.
03:38All me emergency lighting on the top there.
03:41I've got me alarm stack, so all of the NPR cameras across the force feedback into my mobile device.
03:47Not quite a James Bond car. I'd like a few more gadgets.
03:50But if the equipment works well and without it, I wouldn't be as safe as I am.
03:57Tango 1286 on Tango 17, please.
04:00Northumbria's very own 007 could also teach Q a thing or two.
04:05I like mechanics and engineering.
04:07Just all self-taught.
04:09At the age of three, I was a little bugger.
04:12My dad left a screwdriver.
04:14I was caught taking door handles off and electric sockets off the wall.
04:17I still hate to tell the tale.
04:21We're going to do Newcastle today.
04:23It's an area where there's a lot of cars.
04:25We're going to do Newcastle today.
04:28It's an area I've worked for years.
04:30I tend to get some decent results in the city centre.
04:32And during a night shift, it's the highest chance of finding somewhere.
04:35Living the dream out in my patrol car, seeing what I can get a hold of.
04:41Three, I've got a call in, check me out.
04:43Mark, we're in the vehicle scene. It's a pool car.
04:52Across the network of NPR cameras, we've had a sighting for a vehicle.
04:57There's an intelligence on it that it may be a pool car.
05:02We're going to do Newcastle today.
05:04It's an area I've worked for years.
05:06I tend to get some decent results in the city centre.
05:09It's a vehicle that a lot of different people use it.
05:13Quite often it's up to criminality.
05:16Anything from simple shoplifters to burglaries and drugs of some sort.
05:25I don't know whether I'm going to be able to catch up with it because I'm a little bit behind now.
05:29It could have gone a number of ways.
05:39As the suspect's car activates another camera, Brian picks a spot to lie in wait.
05:46Brian picks a spot to lie in wait.
06:06We're in that vehicle now, requesting assistance from tackling trained units, air support and dogs.
06:12We're literally held on the other side of the line. When you turn, we're falling back.
06:24Right, right, right, it's off road. This is now a pursuit.
06:31Coming out onto Richardson Road.
06:34Across Moorbeth Street.
06:37And a right, right, right.
06:41It's going to be a day camp.
06:56When darkness falls on our roads.
07:01Dash cam plays out like a scary movie.
07:07With jump scares.
07:11Unpredictable twists and turns.
07:15Come on, idiot.
07:16And just when you think it's over.
07:18Wow.
07:19There's one last fright.
07:21Whoa!
07:22F*** the bed.
07:27Coming out onto Richardson Road. This is now a pursuit.
07:31In Newcastle, Brian is closing in on the driver of a car who was made off.
07:37It's going to be a day camp.
07:41White male, black tracksuit, white stretch down his sleeves.
07:46Down at the fire, police officer with tears in his eyes.
07:49Richardson Road towards the hospital.
07:52Running again towards the flats.
07:56They got away from us. We don't know where they've gone.
08:00Would you have air support nearby?
08:02Yes, sir.
08:03A police helicopter and unmarked units join the hunt for the runaway suspect.
08:09I think he's gone that way because I didn't see him go that way.
08:12Where you are, that's where I last saw him.
08:16So he's just trying to evade us at the minute.
08:18The helicopter's up, so hopefully we'll get a track.
08:21And we'll get him for our own fingers crossed.
08:28I think I've got him inside.
08:31I think I've got him inside.
08:34Tracksuit top, white stripes on the side of the arm.
08:36Confirmed, double stripe.
08:39He's trying to get into the student accommodation. I've got eyes on him.
08:42I think that's over to my left.
08:54I'm getting back.
08:56You're under arrest for dangerous driving. Feel to stop for police.
08:59Pretend that'll be.
09:01Hey, I'm sorry.
09:05There's some stuff that's come out of his pocket.
09:08And more.
09:10Further arrest on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.
09:13I think they just picked my lad up.
09:16It's for yourself, is it?
09:17Yeah.
09:19What do we do first?
09:21I don't know. I don't know what your previous is like.
09:23Obviously you're in possession of a load of drugs.
09:25You've already said you use drugs and they're your drugs.
09:28So we'll see what comes back on that.
09:34Sounds like you've damaged somebody's car as well.
09:36Have you got permission to use the car?
09:39You have, right.
09:44How come you've not got his number?
09:47Right.
09:49Right, this is your taxi.
09:51Grab yourself a seat.
09:53Are you okay? You seem to be limping a little bit.
09:55You sprained your ankle? Right.
10:08Which ankle do you think you've sprained?
10:10The left one.
10:12Yeah, it's a serious pain, right?
10:21I'm going to drug right while we're here.
10:25It'll give us an answer as to whether you're under the influence of a drug.
10:28And if you stick your tongue out for me.
10:30Stick it right out.
10:32Open your mouth wide. I'll rub your cheeks as well.
10:47Your drug wipes actually come back.
10:51You've tested positive for both cannabis and cocaine.
10:55And I'm further arresting you on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle with a controlled drug over the prescribed limit.
11:02Alright.
11:03So in layman's terms, drug drive.
11:15Can you manage?
11:16You alright?
11:17Right.
11:20Hobble that way.
11:23I've been running across the town more, Sarge.
11:25Is that why you're limping?
11:27I think I sprained my ankle.
11:53A bit of adrenaline kicked in there.
11:55Pursuit in the car.
11:57And then a hunger foot pursuit across the moor.
11:59Is it Steve Crampton aid or is it Usain Bolt?
12:01Maybe not Usain Bolt.
12:03I don't know.
12:05I don't know.
12:07I don't know.
12:09I don't know.
12:11I don't know.
12:13I don't know.
12:15I don't know.
12:17I don't know.
12:19I don't know.
12:21Absolutely no Usain Bolt.
12:23Maybe not Usain Bolt.
12:25I probably would of caught him a bit quicker.
12:27Can't grumble and certainly a lot happier there is wound in the cells because of it.
12:45Smells lovely that now.
12:47Nice and fresh today.
12:49awful smell coming from my locker.
12:52Didn't know what it was, so I've assumed it to be my vest.
12:54Washed it, could still smell the smell.
12:56Turns out that it was a three-week-old pasta
12:59that'd been sat rotting away in my kit bag.
13:01So that's gone, and it's nice and fresh in there now.
13:06Got everything.
13:12When it comes to crimes against food,
13:14PC Martin Anderson's a repeat offender.
13:20If the kids were asked who makes the best packed lunch,
13:23I think they'd probably say me,
13:24because I've put things in that I probably shouldn't put in.
13:27Basically school contraband.
13:29There's loads of times where they've come back home
13:31with little treats and sweets that I've put on the packed lunch
13:34and they've been like,
13:35the dinner nanny wouldn't let us have it because it's sweet.
13:37So I've probably just got my face up in the staff room.
13:40Dinner lady's most wanted.
13:44Today for us, it's gonna be patrolling.
13:47Using our own sort of copper's nose
13:49to see what we can spot, anything that catches our eye.
13:52Get the cars stopped that need to be stopped.
13:54Raring to go, which is bad news
13:56for the criminals of the world.
14:06I've just spotted a black Renault Laguna.
14:09It's just caught my eye.
14:10It's got a couple of young lads in it.
14:13I'm gonna go and have a look at it.
14:15It's just caught my eye.
14:15It's got a couple of young lads in it.
14:17The car looks to be of a bit of a poor state of repair
14:20as well.
14:21We're just gonna try and get caught back up to it now.
14:26Angle 461, Albie.
14:28Go ahead.
14:29Vehicle check, please, on Station Road.
14:31Sure, it's a sell.
14:33That's received.
14:34It does come back as registered and insured,
14:36but I'm still not 100% happy with it.
14:38A lot of this role is, you know,
14:40things will catch your eye and you sometimes do rely
14:42on your sort of gut instinct a little bit
14:44that if something doesn't quite look quite right,
14:46it usually is the case.
14:49We'll get it stopped and make sure it is the person driving
14:52that should be.
15:07Afternoon.
15:09Handling that, you'd like?
15:09Aye, sorry, mate.
15:11No bother, mate.
15:12Is this your motor, is it?
15:13I'll include my name as well.
15:15What's your name, then?
15:16My name's George.
15:17George.
15:18Come and have a seat in here.
15:19Let's just do some checks on you, mate.
15:22Have you got any ID on you at all?
15:24No, no.
15:25What's the crap with your licence?
15:26I haven't got one, mate.
15:27Have you not?
15:28I don't know how your teachers drive, mate.
15:30Well, so without help plates?
15:39Have you got anything ID-wise at all?
15:42A bank card, Facebook, out like that to show your name on?
15:45Just so I know that you are who you say you are.
15:47I haven't got my phone on this.
15:49I've got my wallet on this, mate,
15:50but I don't think I've even got any ID on me.
15:52Out in there or not?
15:53No, no.
15:55So, George, spell George for us.
15:58G-E-O-G-E-R-O.
16:04G-E-
16:06E-R-O, George.
16:09Mate, give us your real details.
16:13Oh, there we go.
16:16What you're not giving us your details for,
16:17then, are you wanted or you're disqualified or...?
16:20No, no, I haven't been disqualified.
16:21I've never been driving before.
16:23Right.
16:24I just can't be arsed for getting locked up.
16:26Well, you would have got locked up
16:28if you'd continued giving the false details, mate.
16:29Would I?
16:30But we can potentially deal with this at the roadside
16:32if it's just a case of no licence.
16:33That's a lie.
16:34Right, let's...
16:35Shall we start again?
16:36Right.
16:37Right, what's your address?
16:39Is it the one that's on here?
16:4032 or 33?
16:46No, cos I'm thinking the next door,
16:47cos I always put it in the next door's bin,
16:49cos their bin's just outside my door.
16:53Are you on the insurance for this to learn to drive, then?
16:55No, mate, no.
16:57Tell you the truth.
16:58Is he the proper owner of it as well, then, or not?
17:00No, no, he's just insured on it.
17:01Right, OK.
17:03Well, we'll deal with you first,
17:04and then we'll decide what we're going to do with him
17:06and do with the car.
17:07To drive a car, you have to have a licence.
17:09To drive a car on a public road, you need to have L plates on.
17:13Here, you've not got L plates.
17:15You're not on the insurance or anything like that.
17:16OK, mate, so I am reporting you for the offence of driving
17:19otherwise than according to the licence
17:21and driving a motor vehicle on a public road
17:23without insurance, OK?
17:26Mate, just learn how to drive properly.
17:27Just, I know it's expensive,
17:28but just get added on to the insurance,
17:30or get the L plates on and stuff like that.
17:32I didn't even know about that, mate.
17:33I just thought it was L plates, truthfully.
17:34I didn't know about the insurance.
17:35I thought as long as he was in the car with us,
17:37I could drive.
17:38I'm going to let them jump out, because you're sorted.
17:41I'm going to have a bit of a crack with your mate
17:43to see what he's got to say.
17:46All right?
17:48Why are you letting him drive the car?
17:49Teaching him how to drive.
17:51Why have you not got L plates on?
17:52They were on, so I had one on the front and one on the back.
17:55Right.
17:55Came off yesterday, we were meant to be picking up new ones.
17:57But the auto shop was shut.
18:01Have you seen the state of these tyres?
18:02The cords are all exposed.
18:04All right.
18:05I can get them changed today.
18:06My dad owns a garage.
18:08Well, it shouldn't be on the road with them.
18:09I can get new ones put on immediately.
18:11Right.
18:12Really, we should uplift the car,
18:13but I'm going to give you some benefit of the doubt.
18:14Yeah, yeah.
18:16Obviously, he can't be driving it without the L plates.
18:18You need to get him on the insurance and things like that.
18:19Yeah, yeah.
18:20How much does that cost?
18:22Got to weigh it up compared to normal lessons,
18:24haven't you?
18:25Because they're about 40, 50 quid an hour, aren't they?
18:27Oh, you're talking to the guy.
18:28Right.
18:29I'll be putting something on the computer.
18:30If I see this or anyone else sees it with that tyre on,
18:32it's three points and a fine,
18:34which you don't, no one wants.
18:35Oh, definitely.
18:36They'll have to give us an hour, though,
18:37in case we pull out and another one attacks us.
18:39They'll just, they'll not.
18:40I'll hear it if it gets checked again.
19:00We've used a little bit of discretion, to be honest.
19:02We could have seized the car,
19:03but they were pleasant enough with us.
19:05We got there in the end,
19:06after a little bit of storytelling.
19:10Driving lesson gone wrong.
19:12I don't know when I learned to drive.
19:14It certainly wasn't with someone
19:15that was sad vaping out the window,
19:16in a car that's of a very sort of poor state of repair.
19:20I don't think that lad's going to be getting headhunted
19:22by the British School of Motoring anytime soon,
19:23put it that way.
19:35See you out there.
19:40Oh, sign of things to come.
19:49I think it's dead.
19:52That's what you need for the start of the day, yeah?
19:54All right, I'll see if they've got any jump leads.
19:57PC Jan Schimlischer is more at home
19:59charging criminals than he's charging the police.
20:03He's more at home charging criminals than cars.
20:06Red to red, black to black.
20:08This is one I'm not colour blind, eh?
20:12More than a trick.
20:19Hey, it's alive!
20:23This cop car isn't the only one running on empty.
20:27Just tired, spent days off decorating.
20:30Strip paint and then repaint, move furniture.
20:33I haven't got the patience for it, it's not for me.
20:36Yeah, I'll stick to policing.
20:37Get out then, save the world.
20:49Today, Jan will be painting North Tyneside blue.
20:53And he's due a good day for brushes with the law.
20:56Sometimes you go through a spate
20:58of just finding everything every day,
21:00but going through a bit of a dry spell at the minute
21:03is starting to bother us.
21:05I'm sick of looking for things and not finding it.
21:08This must have been what Peter Crouch must have felt like,
21:10going through his dry spell at Liverpool
21:12when he didn't score for ages.
21:15I wouldn't mind being a couple of quid behind Peter Crouch.
21:28I'm just going to spin round for this van.
21:30There's a marker on it for drug supply and drug use.
21:37If the intelligence is correct,
21:39then it's important for us to stop these vehicles
21:41and carry out drug wipes, any searches,
21:44because a lot of the times,
21:46the information that we receive is bang on correct.
21:50Drivers involved with drugs are a danger on our roads.
21:54In Selby, unmarked cop cars from North Yorkshire Police
21:57are trying to stop a black 4x4 containing a wanted drug dealer.
22:04But as they go to block the car...
22:08..the pick-up truck makes a break for the hills.
22:11It's a black 4x4.
22:13It's a black 4x4.
22:15It's a black 4x4.
22:17It's a black 4x4.
22:19It's a black 4x4.
22:21The pick-up truck makes a break for the hills.
22:24It's a field. It's a field.
22:26The cops struggle to keep up with the off-road vehicle.
22:30He's got a suit. He's objectively covered.
22:33He's going cross-country, cross-country.
22:36But eventually, corner the driver, ram the car
22:39and force the wanted man to flee on foot.
22:42He's got a tailor! Stop where you are!
22:44Stop! Stop!
22:46However, his getaway is short-lived.
22:50He was found guilty of supplying heroin and crack cocaine
22:54and sentenced to five years and nine months in prison.
22:58The driver also pleaded guilty to failing to stop
23:01and was given a conditional discharge.
23:12I'm just going to spin round for this van.
23:14There's a marker on it for drug supply and drug use.
23:18Back in North Tyneside, Jan's tailing a van linked to drugs.
23:32Yes, which way's he going?
23:37Straight back out? Oh.
23:41Have a little bit of a chat with the driver.
23:43See what he's got to say for himself.
23:49When bad drivers cook up a storm on our roads...
23:54..it has all the ingredients for total carnage.
24:02It doesn't take much for anger to boil over.
24:08And there's no way to stop it.
24:11It doesn't take much for anger to boil over.
24:17And those with too much on their plate...
24:23..have plenty of food for thought.
24:26Stupid cow!
24:32Have a little bit of a chat with the driver.
24:34See what he's got to say for himself.
24:36In North Tyneside, Jan's hunted down a van linked to drug supply.
24:47Hey, mate, you all right? Yeah.
24:48Am I just knocking the van off for a second? Yeah.
24:50Is this your van? Yes.
24:51All right, can I borrow you for two minutes?
24:53We'll just sit in the back of my car. No problem.
25:00Strange attire to be driving in.
25:02Just jump in there for us, please, bud.
25:07Right.
25:10The reason I've stopped here is we've got intelligence to suggest
25:13that whoever's using this vehicle may be involved in drug supply.
25:17Right.
25:18With any drug involvement, usually comes drug use as well.
25:22Do you use any drugs, or...? No.
25:24No? Definitely not? Definitely not.
25:26OK, mate, couldn't drug wipe you as well.
25:29It's a test for cannabis and cocaine.
25:31Just lean forward, mate, and stick your tongue out.
25:35Thank you very much.
25:39It's my mate's van, like...
25:41Does he know you've got it? Yeah.
25:43Right. But you're insured to it?
25:45No. You're not? No.
25:47Right, OK. Have you got a licence?
25:49No. No? Right, OK.
25:51That van's going to have to be uplifted, mate,
25:53cos you're driving without insurance and licence.
25:56That's positive for cocaine, so I'm resting on the suspicion
25:59of driving whilst over the prescribed limit for cocaine,
26:02driving without any insurance and driving without a licence, OK?
26:05Right. Do you understand that? Yeah.
26:09Right, OK. Do you want to pop out? I'll give you a quick search as well.
26:12Have you got anything on you that you shouldn't have? No.
26:15Out underneath your gown, or just your trousers? No.
26:20Right, OK.
26:21Just cos of the information, I'm going to give the van a quick search as well.
26:24Is there anything in the van that this shouldn't be? Yeah.
26:27Where? In the back, on the shelf.
26:29Right, OK.
26:32Interesting stop for a quarter to nine in the morning.
26:35He's got strange attire. I mean, each to their own in that.
26:38But I wouldn't be driving dressed like him.
26:40Anyhow, I'm not here to get my licence.
26:42I'm here to get my licence.
26:44I'm here to get my licence.
26:46I'm here to get my licence.
26:48I wouldn't be driving dressed like him.
26:50Anyhow, I'm not here to judge.
26:52That was sent them all. Not illegal.
26:56Oh, there we go.
26:58There's more than what looked like for personal use.
27:01I'll have to sit down and count all that up.
27:03Potentially possession with intent to supply there.
27:08There we go. Who carries these round as well?
27:10That's another one he can get locked up for.
27:13Got the keys, got the secret.
27:15Got a lovely knife there.
27:17A load of snap bags with loads of white powder.
27:22So good at my job, aren't I?
27:24Yeah, I definitely deserve a coffee after this.
27:33Right, mate, so you're further under arrest for offensive weapon
27:36and possession with intent to supply, OK?
27:39Yeah.
27:47Hi, mate. All right?
27:51Well, it's nine o'clock, isn't it?
27:53Should be here any minute, I guess.
27:55If you wait long enough, you might get yourself some breakfast.
28:03Not what I was expecting on a Friday morning.
28:06I know.
28:07Were you going there for your breakfast or something?
28:09It's my mate's place. I thought it would have been open.
28:12Oh, right. I'm surprised it wasn't.
28:14It does do good pie, mate.
28:16Right.
28:24Don't let that door over there, please, mate.
28:47Ooh...
28:53Who goes out driving in their dressing gown, pyjama bottoms and slippers?
28:58He hasn't got the right footwear for driving, for one.
29:01It's certainly a nice way to get rid of a little dry patch at work.
29:05It's nine o'clock in the morning, drug driver off the road,
29:08and to top it off, a load of drugs found in the car.
29:13A little pat on the back, good work, a treat to myself.
29:17A little bit of chocolate and a long overdue coffee.
29:26Oh, it's nice.
29:29HE SIGHS
29:40Feeling good. Blue skies and the sun's out and everything.
29:43Another three degrees, we might ditch the jacket,
29:45but if it gets any warmer than that,
29:47we'll be swapping the jacket for Factor 50 suncream with my colour,
29:50and it's very sensitive.
29:52It doesn't take much for me to go all red and sore.
29:56Martin's been a cop for eight years,
29:59but his passion for police work started young.
30:02He was always destined to do this job
30:04because I used to be a massive fan of the Bill.
30:06My mum and dad apparently used to have to turn the music for the Bill down
30:09on their night-time because I would come running downstairs to watch it.
30:12But since doing this job, I don't watch that much police stuff on the TV
30:16because I get wrong off my wife because I'm like,
30:18oh, that would never happen. She's like, we just don't watch it.
30:22If anyone wants to approach us in some sort of advisory capacity,
30:26then give us a call.
30:28It'll save more marriages.
30:33We'll be south of the Tyne today.
30:35Gateshead, Sunderland, South Shields.
30:38Could be a slow day, could be a busy day.
30:40You never know which is the beauty of this job.
30:42When you get up in the morning and you genuinely don't know
30:45what you're going to be dealing with.
30:52SIREN BLARES
30:59We're looking for a black Ford Focus.
31:01It's potentially heading in towards Sunderland city centre at the moment.
31:06There's some intelligence that suggests
31:08that when officers try to stop it previously, it's made off at speed.
31:11Obviously, if it's failed to stop previously, it's got something to hide.
31:15But we'll get in the area, we'll see if we can get it stopped.
31:19Drivers who won't stop for police are a coppers' worst nightmare.
31:30In Newcastle, Martin's fellow motorway cops are in hot pursuit
31:34of a thief in a stolen Mini Cooper.
31:38The driver hurtles through the city at breakneck speeds,
31:41on the wrong side of the road.
31:43More patrols race to end his reckless driving.
31:47A roundabout puts the suspect in a spin,
31:51bringing the mayhem to a close.
31:55The driver was found guilty of burglary,
31:57aggravated vehicle taking, driving without insurance,
32:01driving while disqualified and drink driving.
32:05He was jailed for three years and banned from driving for four and a half years.
32:11We're looking for a black Ford Focus.
32:13It's potentially heading in towards Sunderland city centre.
32:17Martin is on the lookout for a car that's made off from police in the past.
32:22It's failed to stop previously, it's got something to hide.
32:30The driver was found guilty of burglary,
32:32aggravated vehicle taking, driving without insurance,
32:35driving while disqualified and drink driving.
32:38It's potentially heading in towards Sunderland city centre.
32:43It should be in this sort of facility really.
32:48There it is there, just passing us now.
32:53This is him.
32:54Hi mate. Can I just switch this off?
33:11Yeah, yeah.
33:12Well the reason I've stopped you in the way I've stopped you is
33:14apparently this car's made off from police in the past.
33:16Made off?
33:17Like took off at speed.
33:18It's just been bought by my partner.
33:23Has it?
33:24Yeah, because he's just opened a car garage.
33:26Right, it could be that it's been a previous keeper then that it's happened on.
33:30Can you come take a seat in the car?
33:33Have you got your licence on you?
33:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:35Take a seat and I'm going to put my car behind that one.
33:38Can you get me a phone and ring the partner on that?
33:40I'll grab it for you. Take a seat, let's move my car.
33:49Give me that.
33:50Right, I'm just going to shift this out of the way a bit just so we're in a better position.
33:58One second.
34:02I've been pulled over by the police for this car.
34:05Apparently it's made off by the police in the past.
34:08Do you want us to pass you the phone over to them?
34:11There you go.
34:13Hello.
34:14Are yous in the motor trade game?
34:18Right.
34:19So apparently this vehicle's previously failed to stop for police, but how long have yous had it?
34:23About two and a half, three weeks.
34:25Right, that predates when yous have had it, then it might be the previous keeper.
34:29I'll run everything through, I'll make sure it's all in order.
34:32Thanks for your time. Cheers now, cheers.
34:35When's it made off from you like?
34:37It's been back in January, so I think it's only well before yous have had it.
34:40Right.
34:41They've probably took off in it and then got shot with it straight away, so...
34:45That's the reason they've wanted to stop it to see yous driving it,
34:47in case it's the same nuggets that are using it, you know?
34:50Well, definitely not me.
34:53Have you got your licence on you?
34:54Yeah.
34:55Cheers.
34:57It's an old picture, isn't it?
34:59Oh, yeah, I know.
35:00I look fresh there.
35:02I've aged.
35:08Brilliant, that'll do me.
35:09LB, can we get that marker taken off?
35:12Just to stop them getting pulled over.
35:14The intelligence predates this new keeper.
35:18Is this a T8? V90, this, isn't it?
35:21V60, this one.
35:22I want one of these.
35:23They're nice, aren't they? They're all right.
35:25What's it like on diesel?
35:27It's a petrol one.
35:28It eats the petrol away.
35:29Does it?
35:30Yeah, we do a lot of miles.
35:31Do you get a fuel card, though?
35:32Oh, I've got a fuel card, aye.
35:34Oh, really?
35:35Oh, I wouldn't like to be paying for it myself.
35:37Right.
35:38Sorry I've stopped you in that way.
35:39I've done that because I thought if it's going to go,
35:41I'll try and stop it from taking off.
35:43I didn't know what you wanted intentionally.
35:45I thought you wanted me to mount the kerb to come on,
35:47but then I didn't know whether you were trying to ram us in.
35:50I didn't know what was going on.
35:51I just wanted to stop.
35:52No, mate, that'll do me.
35:54I can't guarantee you'll not get stopped again,
35:56but I'll put something in to say that it's been checked,
35:58it's all in order, it's got a new keeper.
36:00Not really asked, as long as I'm not getting locked up.
36:03No bother, mate.
36:04Thanks for your time.
36:05See you later.
36:08Bye.
36:17With any sort of intelligence that there's someone using the car
36:20who's willing to do stupid things, we've got to stop them.
36:23You know, that's us doing our job.
36:25But it's always nice to find that it's changed hands
36:27and it's now with someone sensible.
36:29He was a nice guy, had a good, big conversation with him
36:32about fuel consumption.
36:34I don't mind admitting that I'm quite a boring person,
36:36so fuel consumption gets us going, you know.
36:55Are you going to be getting into the gym then?
36:57What do you mean, man?
36:59What's that filled with, helium balloons?
37:01Just, like, loads of clothes.
37:03Are they ones that you're hoping to fit into eventually?
37:05You've inspired us, Jamie.
37:07I'm sure I've got something saved on my phone,
37:10just accidentally on purpose.
37:12Back at Eagle Lane station,
37:14Jan needs PC Jamie Leslie's help to identify a person of interest.
37:21Who's this?
37:22Proper handsome lad, isn't he?
37:24I'd just like to say that isn't my hand.
37:26I wasn't that size and have really small hands.
37:29It looks like Jamie's here. Jamie, I think, there.
37:32How much weight have you lost?
37:3450 pounds.
37:35Have you?
37:36Oh, yes.
37:37You'll not understand, there's a place called a gym where you can go,
37:41you do your thing and then you look like this.
37:43I thought every time you mentioned Jim,
37:45that was just, like, your best mate.
37:47Well, yeah, yeah.
37:48He's sometimes there and we just go into the vending machine
37:50and stuff like that.
37:52Oh, car's nice and clean.
37:54Oh, I'm high up.
37:58Oh, goodness gracious.
38:00Great balls of fire.
38:09Where are we going tonight, then?
38:11We'll go round North Tyneside.
38:14Just cos we know them really well, don't we?
38:16Yeah, just be alert, see what comes out of the play.
38:19Not much moving at the moment, though, is there?
38:21No, it's pretty quiet.
38:22We'll find something, though.
38:30What was that?
38:31A car?
38:32Yeah.
38:36It's absolutely flying.
38:40It could have so easily killed somebody.
38:45It's wanting to stop quickly.
38:47It's just...
38:48If it's wanting to stop quickly,
38:50it's certainly not going to do it.
38:52Tango 10-50.
38:53A red Honda Civic Type R.
38:55It is recorded with intel,
38:57but it was stopped travelling at excessive speed.
39:02Is that it down there?
39:03Yeah.
39:06Does he know what to speed behind him yet, or not?
39:19Some drivers behave like naughty kids.
39:23What are you doing?
39:26They refuse to share.
39:30Never do what they're told.
39:32Double red light, you f***ing idiot.
39:36They've now got a red light, that's why they've stopped.
39:38Watch the cyclist, you should be good to go.
39:40And love to tell tales.
39:42The cyclist is going to go through.
39:44The best way to deal with childish drivers,
39:46give them a time out.
39:48Oh, thanks so much.
39:58What was that?
39:59A car?
40:00Yeah.
40:01It's absolutely flying.
40:04In North Shields, a sports car has blown past Yankee.
40:08In North Shields, a sports car has blown past Yan and Jamie.
40:11You could hear them before you saw them, couldn't you?
40:13Aye.
40:15Does he know what to speed behind him yet, or not?
40:19Give him a little shout in his ear.
40:23Get them stopped on their normal.
40:30I'll just wait here, just in case he does decide to do something silly.
40:34I'll just wait here, just in case he does decide to do something silly.
40:42Hello, mate.
40:43You all right?
40:44Can you knock my engine off for us for two seconds?
40:46Just come and have a sit in the back of the car for two minutes, thanks.
40:50Have you had anything to drink or anything to eat?
40:52No, no, I've just got your flute working back.
40:54Hiya, mate, you all right?
40:55Hello, mate.
40:57The reason that stopped is obviously just the impossible quite quick there, mate.
41:01It's the ABS, it's my traction control, and that's not got on the car.
41:06So every time that I go up the revs, it, you know...
41:11The what?
41:12The wheel spins and stuff when I go up the revs.
41:17As I come up the roundabout, I was in third gear and I put my foot down a bit.
41:21But that doesn't explain your speed.
41:23I wasn't going fast.
41:25You were going so quick that I couldn't tell when you went past me
41:29whether it was a motorbike or a car.
41:31So that might give you an idea of your speed.
41:34Have you been stopped before?
41:35No, I didn't.
41:36What was that for?
41:38He says I was going fast, but I wasn't.
41:41Right, OK.
41:42Is that the same at night?
41:43Yeah.
41:44It's that exhaust, I need to take it off.
41:46Honestly, it makes it sound like you're going faster than you actually are.
41:49You've had nothing to drink, have you?
41:50No, no.
41:51It's how I fly to work.
41:52All you're supposed to do is work and that's it.
41:54So where do you work?
41:55I'm just a bus driver.
41:58So you're a professional driver?
42:01Just to make sure that you haven't had a drink,
42:02I'm going to require your roadside specimen of breath aid, OK?
42:06Deep breath in, mate.
42:07Just blunt it like that, I'll hold it.
42:12Excellent.
42:14That came back as a positive reading, OK.
42:19So I'm arresting you on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
42:24I'll just move that so it's not blocking that.
42:26Right.
42:31I'm going to request your roadside specimen of breath aid, OK?
42:34Deep breath in, mate.
42:35Just blunt it like that, I'll hold it.
42:38Excellent.
42:44We do, mate.
42:46I'm probably soberer than you.
42:47How could you possibly be more sober than me?
42:49You've just blown 58 on the...
42:5058?
42:51Yeah.
42:52The legal limit's 35.
42:58That's even more concerning to me.
43:01Maybe you shouldn't have drunk before you got behind the wheel.
43:04You've made the decision, haven't you?
43:06And it's more concerning that you've just told us
43:08that you've actually been driving buses for the last three, four hours.
43:13You've already been spoken to in relation to your speed.
43:16Yeah, you've decided to continue driving that manner, haven't you?
43:21That's not the case at all.
43:22That doesn't control your speed.
43:27It doesn't control your foot on the accelerator, though.
43:29More excuses?
43:30I think you need to start thinking and taking a little bit of responsibility for your actions.
43:37Cheers.
43:41I used to have one of them.
43:42It was mint.
43:43I had the Vekra for four years.
43:45Hadn't any bother.
43:47As soon as I've had that, everybody I'm getting pulled.
43:49Just because I've got tinted windows is a god-spoiler.
43:52That wasn't the reason you were stopped, mate.
43:54It was just due to the way you were driving.
44:13What's his problem?
44:15Right attitude problem on him, didn't he?
44:17He had every excuse going in the book tonight.
44:20I can't comprehend why people still get behind the wheel, like drunk.
44:25Especially doing a driving job.
44:26Like, there's only one word to describe him.
44:29Silly sausage.
44:31Yeah, that's two words, isn't it?

    34:20: Why in the world would the cop bother speaking to somebody on the phone who he doesn't know? How does he know that anything the person says is valid, never mind who (s)he is!
  • skaizun6 months ago
    26:00: WHAT?!?!? But, the unlicensed, unregistered, driver said he doesn't use drugs!!! HOW could he POSSIBLY test POSITIVE for COCAINE??? :p 26:25: I, sometimes, wonder why cops in the USA, UK, and, probably, elsewhere as well, bother to ask perps whether they have something on them, when they've already lied, or otherwise, as if they're going to be honest! Regardless, the pajamaed, overweight, geezer, is a bit of a surprise, drug-wise!
  • skaizun6 months ago
    25:00: I truly don't understand the background country/western muzak; so annoying and totally unnecessary!
  • skaizun6 months ago
    14:45: No ID whatsoever? And he can't spell his own name? Gor, that's not suspicious at all! :p 18:00: Tyres? What about the indent between the headlight and tyre well?
  • skaizun6 months ago
    11:45: What about the mysterious friend of a friend who "gave" him the car? Wasn't it more likely a pool car? Stolen? TWOC?
  • skaizun6 months ago
    10:30: So gross that cops don't use gloves when doing a drug swipe in perps' mouths!
  • skaizun6 months ago
    9:00: Why do all criminals apologize after they're caught? Are they sorry they were caught? :p Don't do the crime, and you won't have to apologize! (never mind that cops ignore such)
