Traffic Cops S13E05 (5th November 2025)
Transcript
00:00Police have some data! Stop!
00:02Driving is making off.
00:04Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:05Pull over in here now!
00:07Might be game on for something here.
00:09It's just gone. Go, go, go, go.
00:12Patrol some of the country's most dangerous roads.
00:15Speed is 4-0. The vehicle's all over the road.
00:19Driving head-on.
00:20He's up the kerb.
00:21Into danger.
00:22Just have warning markers for firearms.
00:25Vehicle's stolen.
00:26Get out of the car!
00:28Wow, good.
00:29Designed to look like a mobile phone.
00:31Don't pull away, fella.
00:33With rising crime rates.
00:35Here you go, here you go.
00:36Officers are under pressure.
00:38Stop! Get out of here!
00:40You're doing it!
00:41Come out here now!
00:42You're under arrest.
00:45Police!
00:46With lives on the line.
00:47We're going to need at least three or four ambulances.
00:51Is it fuel?
00:52Right, move away from this car now!
00:54The stakes are high.
00:56It isn't looking good at the minute.
00:57For the traffic cops.
00:59He's blown 128.
01:0011 minutes past two in the afternoon.
01:02You're under arrest.
01:03Conspicion of theft of motor vehicles.
01:05Tony, do not run.
01:07Swap the officer!
01:09I made a promise!
01:10Alright.
01:10Coming up.
01:17I want to fight it.
01:19Police officer with a duck!
01:21Cracking down on drugs.
01:23Line your front!
01:24Put your hand behind your back!
01:25I've got a broken shoulder.
01:27Some deals with cannabis.
01:28Disrupting suspected county lines.
01:31He's got your own kid to plug it then.
01:34Hunting down suspects.
01:35You're under arrest of suspicion of possession of class A.
01:37On the road, that's either Kendall mint cake or crack cocaine.
01:42This was the coat that she's got.
01:44It's more cash in it, shall we say.
01:46Taking off.
01:46And on the run.
01:48You're down to detail.
01:49Yeah, I'm going to go back down that way now.
02:05Hey, can I tell you something to do there?
02:08The aid call of interest has gone past me.
02:10Traffic cop Craig Dawes is responding to a call from local officers,
02:15tailing a suspicious car.
02:16Are you wanting me to make my way over and stop it, or are you behind it?
02:23I'm behind it.
02:25The car is suspected to have links to drug dealing.
02:28The mental, uh, from a few days ago.
02:31It was seen as possible in a bundle of cash.
02:34And then, uh, packets of bleed with cocaine.
02:38I don't think it's going to stop.
02:42Yeah, I'm just going to pick it up.
02:44And then, uh, from two, three, I'm going to try and make some ground.
02:49I'm five minutes away.
02:51Across Derbyshire, officers like Craig deal with around 3,000 drug offences every year.
02:58Yeah, it's showing no insurance.
03:00It's back to where, yeah, and now I'm from Bradford.
03:02The car's linked to an address in Bradford.
03:05And it's suspected it may be being used to transport drugs into the county.
03:11We're kind of a small town.
03:13We border on Sheffield.
03:14We border on Knott's.
03:15We border on South Yorkshire.
03:16So, sometimes Derbyshire's vulnerable where you have people coming from the outside to supply your drugs into the local areas.
03:25We try and control that.
03:27But there's so many roads in and out of the counties, it's, you know, it's kind of like pushing water uphill, really.
03:32Not too far away from anything.
03:34The vehicle has collided with a parked car.
03:49All right.
03:51It's made off.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Got behind it up here.
03:54As I've lit it up, the driver's got him back.
03:59Whilst it's still going.
04:02I think he's disqualified.
04:03But both occupants and applicants have retained him.
04:08Because of what it's been not.
04:10It's only a time for your place.
04:11The reasons are.
04:13No, we may not.
04:14Criminal and drug dealers are coming over from your neighbouring big cities and trying to take over the drug supply.
04:19That normally involves them recruiting younger people, possibly some people that's never ever been in trouble.
04:25As the men are not from Derbyshire and suspecting they're transporting drugs.
04:29The car does smell of cannabis a little bit.
04:31The cops turn their attention to the car.
04:35And there's Vaseline in there.
04:36And there's Vaseline, so...
04:37And you reckon he's got your own kid to plug it, then?
04:41I bet they've plugged.
04:43Yeah.
04:43They could possibly plug something.
04:47I mean, you've got the Vaseline there.
04:49Any little nut and cranny will try and put something in it.
04:52Plugging is when drugs are hidden within the body.
04:55You've got the apps and it's for robots in the room.
04:58Yeah, I reckon I have.
05:02How old are you?
05:06Lee.
05:07I just took right under the driver's seat at the back.
05:11A bearer phone.
05:12That's normally a drug dealer phone.
05:14Phones like these are untraceable because they don't have a contract.
05:21It's got no SIM card in.
05:22That's took right down under the back seat.
05:25But after a thorough search of the men, there's no sign of any drugs.
05:30There's no indication that there is.
05:31It may be just that, see, it's driving offences.
05:35But, you know, we'll always have a good look over.
05:38Neither of them's got licences.
05:39Neither of them's got insurance.
05:44It's like to run for the troops now, isn't it?
05:46Nice.
05:46It's slowed right down.
05:47It's gone on.
05:48It's made.
05:49He's bagged something.
05:51With suspicions that the suspects threw drugs away during the chase...
05:55Right, we'll scout.
05:57You need an Acer.
05:58Officers begin searching the street.
06:05If drugs are deposited from a vehicle and it's involved in a pursuit, it's difficult.
06:10Especially when they're deposited over grass or a large area.
06:14It's an absolute nightmare.
06:26Found something.
06:28They were right at what he said.
06:31They believed that it slowed down before they crashed and, see, some deals with cannabis.
06:37Fingers crossed there is no more around.
06:39I find it sad that these people are being targeted to become involved in a life of drugs.
06:47Unfortunately, once they're involved, they then can't get back out.
06:50And, you know, they're forever in the debt to the bigger drug dealers.
06:54It's a spiral down for them.
06:56Right, matey.
06:57You're under arrest.
06:58All right.
06:58Let's give them our possession.
07:00Well, yeah.
07:00We'll have to take a sense of that tomorrow.
07:01We'll do not say anything at my own defense.
07:03We're going to have to request them something to me.
07:04All right.
07:05The suspects are being taken for a strip search at the police station.
07:08Drug trade in Derbyshire has become a big problem socially.
07:16It's quite worrying that drugs are so openly available.
07:20People sometimes have to commit crime to buy the drugs, which then has a knock-on effect.
07:24People who's not involved in drugs are then becoming victims of crime and suffering from it.
07:29So it has a knock-on effect to everybody.
07:34Coming up.
07:35That's either Kendall mint cake or crack cocaine.
07:39A stop check.
07:40This is going to be the gift that keeps on giving, I'm afraid.
07:43Uncovers some suspicious items.
07:46And that's just from under the seat.
07:48Busy boy.
07:50Yeah, contact, contact with it.
07:52And officers.
07:52On the hunt for runaway drug suspects.
07:57Here you go, here you go.
07:59Here you go, here you go.
08:29No problem.
08:30You all right?
08:31Yeah, no problem.
08:31You know speed limit on here?
08:3330.
08:34That's your speed.
08:3538.
08:3638.
08:36Oh.
08:39Combinate all units, if there is any units, please.
08:42It's like a 2-6, I see if it's a one.
08:46Traffic cops Dave McAllister and Adam Shipley are on their way to join officers doing speed checks.
08:52Any reason you're doing 38?
08:57No, I'm feeling it's not going to be there.
08:59Well, still doesn't appreciate you going 38, does it?
09:02I don't know.
09:03It's good enough, man.
09:03Turn your steering full lock.
09:05Let's have a check around your car.
09:07Every vehicle stops different.
09:09You genuinely just don't know what the outcome is going to be.
09:12We will always carry out the same checks when we stop a vehicle.
09:15And you'll be amazed what we turn up.
09:16With the driver now off the road, Adam arrives.
09:24Evening.
09:24You all right?
09:26Mate, have you had any drugs or anything this evening?
09:29Use any alcohol or anything?
09:30No, no.
09:30Okay.
09:31More information on the vehicle comes in from control.
09:35Somebody reported that it was driving erratically and smelt of cannabis.
09:38Have you had any cannabis?
09:39No, I don't smoke.
09:40Have you smoked?
09:41With record highs of drug driving and speeding,
09:43traffic cops are increasingly doing roadside drug tests.
09:48Mate, what are you going to do?
09:48I'm just going to do a quick drug wipe on you then.
09:51Last year, there were 73,000 tests done across the country,
09:55with over half proving positive.
09:58Do you agree to give me a specimen of saliva?
09:59I'll make sure you do that.
10:00Thank you, my friend.
10:02While Adam waits for the results.
10:07Officers run checks on the car.
10:11Is this insurance?
10:13Let's have a look.
10:13We've just started it.
10:19You've just took that out then, haven't you?
10:21So it wasn't insured, were it?
10:22I'm not going to lie.
10:23I honestly thought it was.
10:24I honestly thought it was.
10:26I honestly thought it was.
10:27All right, but the time I've stopped you, it's not insured.
10:29So you've insured it now.
10:31I'm not.
10:31Only for a week.
10:32I'm not bullshit yet.
10:33I've honestly genuinely forgot.
10:35We've heard it all.
10:36We'll get every excuse in the book,
10:39but you tend to be able to spot it straight away.
10:41As soon as you get that little spidey-sense tingle that something's not right,
10:47you start to think there's a few more red flags than there should be here.
10:51No, no, no.
10:51Mate, you can't drive with no insurance and just insure it when we ask you to provide insurance,
10:55can you?
10:55Right, listen to me.
10:57I'm not going to drive like this without no insurance.
10:58Well, you clearly have been doing it, haven't you?
11:00So what we'll do is we'll give you a ticket for driving with no insurance.
11:04You can have six points, but we'll not take your car off you today.
11:07After eight minutes, the results of the drug swipe are ready.
11:11Ah.
11:12What's up?
11:13All right.
11:13Everything all right?
11:14So you've tested positive cocaine on the drug test machine,
11:18so it's 17 minutes past nine.
11:20You're under arrest.
11:27Take your bag off your head for me, dude.
11:32And then I'm just going to put some cuffs on.
11:33Not because I don't trust you.
11:34It's just we have to.
11:36With the driver detained, Dave arrives to help search his car.
11:40That's not going to be gear, is it?
11:47It is, isn't it?
11:48Drug driving is an incredible frustration
11:51because we see the outcome of it.
11:54We see the absolute devastation it causes.
11:58Families just ripped completely to pieces
12:01because of somebody's selfishness.
12:03That's all it is.
12:05It's literally just selfishness.
12:07That looks like it.
12:08Yeah.
12:09Depends, so you're further under arrest
12:11on suspicion and possession of controlled drugs.
12:13Based on that, we're also going to search your vehicle
12:15under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
12:17Do you understand that?
12:19We're doing Section 23 car.
12:21Yeah.
12:22So is there a likelihood we're going to find out else?
12:26Give a chance to be straight up, please.
12:27No, I'm not personally.
12:29No.
12:29What about in the car?
12:30What about in the car, yeah.
12:31No, no, no.
12:32I'm jumping back forever.
12:37Was it, um...
12:38Just speed a stop?
12:4038, yeah.
12:48He's got the car for me.
12:48Oh.
12:54Sarge.
12:55Yes.
12:56Right, yep, get that bag.
12:58That'll be quite a large quantity of heroin then.
13:00This is going to be the gift that keeps on giving, I'm afraid.
13:07Oh, bless you.
13:08I'm used to searching vehicles for drugs,
13:11and you tend to find that if you find one exhibit,
13:17you're going to keep finding more.
13:19It's rare just to find one.
13:22And again.
13:24Lovely.
13:24People always hide things in the same places.
13:27Um, you know, it's accessible to them.
13:29Uh, it's easy.
13:33Lies.
13:35It's always the same.
13:37I'll tell you what,
13:38that was an unfortunate speeding incident,
13:40wasn't it?
13:40It is.
13:41Heroin.
13:43Correct.
13:44Probably heroin again.
13:46And that's just from under the seat.
13:48You know, it's a busy boy.
13:51All of a sudden,
13:52you're now dealing with
13:53concern of the supplier, Class A.
13:56That's either Kendall Mint Cake or Crack Cocaine.
13:59Is that it?
14:00Mate.
14:01That's as far as we've found so far.
14:04That's what you turf up on traffic stops.
14:06You genuinely never know what you're going to get.
14:10As he's been arrested, he's been searched,
14:12the quantity of drugs found in his pocket.
14:14Then as you can see,
14:15there's further quantities of drugs found within the car,
14:17so he's got a quantity of cash in his man bag as well.
14:20All from a traffic stop.
14:2138 miles an hour in the 30.
14:28That'll be a crack pipe, that one.
14:30Crack pipe?
14:31He's using and running as well, isn't he?
14:35Filter for your crack pipe.
14:36Exactly.
14:38The man will now be taken to custody for questioning,
14:41and Dave can go back on patrol.
14:43I'll have these back at Ripley for you.
14:45Cheers, mate.
14:47So vehicle stops,
14:49they're what we call a gateway offence.
14:52They tend to be just a speeding stop,
14:55and all of a sudden you find an awful lot more.
14:58So this chap's got pre-wrapped crack and heroin.
15:04Heroin again.
15:05Lots of pre-cut into deals,
15:10white and brown,
15:12so that's cocaine and heroin,
15:15and yet more unwrapped heroin.
15:20Beadsides is a little bit like a spider's web.
15:23You never know what you're going to snare in,
15:25and you genuinely never know
15:27what that next car alarm is going to contain.
15:29I thought my batteries were feeling a bit flat.
15:56Five hours later,
15:59Dave's halfway through his night shift.
16:02I'm going to go back down the track.
16:03All right.

17:26your resources thank you to on any local units coming towards us just monitor
17:35channel 2 and I'll pass commentary on that
17:38take a 2-1 it's a right right right it's very info fully marked high performance vehicle advanced

18:03it's a massive balancing act you've got to control you've got to make sure that
18:08adrenaline doesn't give you red mist it's probably the most dangerous thing a
18:12police officer would be expected to do it's hard hard work
18:1624 and the local units monitoring this channel that can get up towards village
18:27there received thank you speed is 43 now braking braking it's gonna be a right right

20:23the woods
20:28traffic cop Adam Shipley launches a drone
20:32we have all the resources available to us drones helicopter dogs however they have a
20:39finite window in which to locate these people you've got basically like a golden hour where you have to try and find somebody
20:52we're just waiting now for the drone
20:55you can hear somebody in there
20:59there's somebody moving through the bushes like literally there I don't know how you get in there
21:05it's in there somewhere
21:08one of them
21:08you can see them pal
21:16they've gone up that way but
21:20there's been one
21:22crushing through the woodland in there
21:24dust
21:25yeah but I think they've gone to ground now
21:28they've gone up there and then in
21:30you've got an eye in the sky
21:32winner
21:33a lot of policing involves trusting your instinct
21:37and believing in what you've perceived
21:40I was certain that I'd heard something in the woods and I didn't stray too far away from it
21:45is there any problems with Peter now?

22:11it's in the hole, I'll take my entry
22:12our drone operators are trained search cops on the same radio channel as you
22:19so they're an absolute gods
22:22it covers
22:22it covers a massive area
22:23that it would take
22:25cops on foot
22:26a massive amount of time to cover
22:28also with the heat vision
22:29they can spot something that
22:31be very very difficult to see for the human eye
22:33as Dave is directed from the drone above

22:40in the woods
22:41just knocked the path
22:42the dog handler closes in on the ground
22:45there's probably no one coming in from the far side

22:51just to your left
22:52just to the left and straight up
22:55there's at least three movements in that hedgerow
23:02at least one that's probably gone to ground somewhere there

23:15like this, it's pitch black
23:17you can't see your hand in front of your face

24:46my shoulder
24:48what's your name?
24:49Ah, ah, my shoulder mate, can I ask what's going off these?
24:55Give me a hand to the rest of the night.
24:57That's fine, but I just want to know what's going off my shoulder mate, I'm being serious.
25:01Ask him where he's been bitten other than his foot.
25:08Good work that dog.
25:13When you hear the dog make contact with that suspect,
25:17um, yeah, it's really rewarding.
25:20It's satisfying and it bears out that, you know, I was right.
25:24That's fine, man.
25:25Can I get off my shoulder, please? That's all I'm asking, man.
25:29That's my boy!
25:34Three, two, one, up.
25:37Sorry.
25:38Come on then.
25:41You've been arrested on suspicion of theft of a vehicle.
25:43I believe you've run from a vehicle.
25:45Jesus Christ.
25:47You've also been found in a woodland, exactly where the offenders have run to, so...
25:50I've got my, I've got my excuses for that.
25:53I'm sure you have, aren't you?
25:54You're right, aren't you?
25:55I'm sure you are.
25:57It'll be a very interesting tale, er, when he tries to explain why he was lying in a wood full of thorn bushes
26:04in the early hours of the morning for no reason whatsoever.
26:09Perhaps it's his hobby, I don't know.
26:16Mate, cracking find?
26:17Yeah, it was decent.
26:18Really good find for the dog.
26:20Thank you for that.
26:21No worries.
26:22Cracking job.
26:24With one suspect heading to custody, Dave turns his attention to what's in the car.
26:31There's a stink of weed in there, lots of evidence of using.
26:35This vehicle's got markers on it for using drug supply.
26:39Dare say this car's just being used for a manner of criminality.
26:42What we have at the minute is at least two lads hiding out there in all those thorns, getting cold and uncomfortable.
26:53As the suspect heads to custody for questioning, the search for the other runaways continues.
26:59Hopefully they'll find them.
27:01If not, there's plenty of forensic opportunities in there, there's drinks, bottles that are open.
27:06There's loads of stuff that they've touched in there.
27:08And you can see when they get out, they've not got gloves on.
27:12So, forensically, we should be able to idea.
27:15So, good job.
27:16Got the car back.
27:17Got one locked up.
27:18Hopefully more will come.
27:20Yeah, winner.
27:38It's been shocking it down. There's a lot of water on the ground.
27:48Across the country, drug dealing is worth an estimated £9.4 billion a year.
27:55There's nothing so far.
27:57But we'll have a look around.
28:00With drug runners often using cars at night, officers like Paddy Shambrook are always on the lookout for suspicious behaviour.
28:06You might be out at early hours or very late at night enforcing debts or, you know, things to do with drug dealing.
28:14Certainly a lot happens overnight.
28:16Paddy spots a car ahead, quickly turning off the main road.
28:21Just a little cheeky vehicle stop.
28:23But if you just see something and you just get that sense that something's not quite right, it's worth checking it out.
28:34Blue lights go on blushing around in the dark.
28:40The likelihood is that the police behind you want you to stop straight away when it's safe to do so.
28:45Well, they're not stopping, are you?
28:48I don't know who these people are at all.
28:51I don't know what weapons, if any, they're carrying.
28:53I've got very little information, apart from two people in this car, to make a decision on what to do.
28:59Why is it with people not just pulling over?
29:00With no chance of catching the runners, Paddy searches the car.
29:18Left keys in.
29:21Any else, Katanga 13?
29:23Yeah, go ahead.
29:25Yeah, you're right, I was just trying to shout up, because I'd activated blue lights and this car wasn't stopping.
29:29But they've stopped and run off.
29:32So we can have recovery, please, for no licence, no insurance.
29:36A couple of young lads have just run straight off over the main road in front.
29:40Red Vauxhall.
29:42Yeah, that's received.
29:44Couldn't see if they were dead.
29:45So I thought driver originally had just jumped across to pretend he wasn't driving.
29:49And I'd run off out of the passenger side.
29:52I'm just going to search car, there's a small bag in the middle here that's got something left in it.
30:02Some drugs or something like that, only a very small amount.
30:07But yeah, it was just a routine stop.
30:09There's a small white bag there, which I'll see shortly, and it's got a bit of white powder left in it.
30:13Just in a small clear wrap, so that's either something like amphetamine or cocaine.
30:18They're either just using or actually dealing drugs, which is obviously why they didn't want to hang around.
30:24And obviously there's a main road just there, I didn't want to really be chasing them across there and take some silly risk with the traffic passing by.
30:32So here we go.
30:36We'll get some gloves and we'll start searching properly.
30:38Bit of a cannabis smoking kit, it's got a bunch of Rizzlers in here.
30:43And a lighter cannabis grinder.
30:45That's all full of cannabis.
30:47Smells a little bit, it's not as...
30:49I've smelled much stronger stuff than that, but...
30:50It's just got the remnants in it.
30:51There's some amphet or cocaine.
30:52And there's actually left a bank card with a name on it.
30:53And a driving licence.
30:54I don't know.
30:55I don't know.
30:56I don't know.
30:57I don't know.
30:58I don't know.
30:59I don't know.
31:00I don't know.
31:01I don't know.
31:02I don't know.
31:03I don't know.
31:04I don't know.
31:05I don't know.
31:06I don't know.
31:07I don't know.
31:08I don't know, I don't know.
31:09But I don't know, I don't know.
31:13Vitamin Bitches' police department.
31:15It's just got the remnants in it.
31:16There's some amphet or cocaine.
31:19And they's actually left a bank card with a name on it.
31:22And a driving licence, which is to the same person.
31:26So they'll be interesting for enquiries.
31:28That was Driver who since enjoys cannabis as well, and...
31:30Cocaine and stuff, there.
31:31driving under the influence as well so it's good to have them off the road i'm not coming across
31:36many people that have left quite so much of a treasure trove inside the car in terms of id
31:43and drugs and have just run off it's why my job can get quite interesting quite quickly because
31:53we've got some cash here you know could well be quite well they're there dealing they've got small
31:58notes and stuff but in this pocket here
32:03we've got like a monodoc similar to what the police carry so that's an extendable baton
32:12and then right here next to driver's side you've got a baseball bat and i'm not sure he's out to
32:19play baseball tonight i think when you find weapons i think it just helps reset your focus on
32:28the real risks that obviously we go about doing our job every day and the possible dangers you face
32:35well it's gonna be a door knock to start with linked to him obviously we don't know necessarily
32:40who was driving with a bank card and a driving license and a car linked to this chap it's more
32:47than likely that one plus one equals two so yeah we'll go start with the door knock and see how we
32:51get on uh this was the coat on the back seat which has got some more cash in it shall we say
33:01so they've had to leave behind i've been busy tonight
33:06don't appear to be that many drugs left in the car but obviously all helps the case doesn't it if
33:10you've got that amount of cash there's a few drugs left now in the car weapons and stuff it all ties
33:15together we will book these in and see how we get on we've gone from a simple traffic stop to getting
33:25offensive weapons and drugs off the street they've certainly been disrupted with what they've been
33:30doing whatever it was that evening with drugs and a suspect's details found in the car they'll be
33:37arrested and questioned on suspicion of drug dealing it's been a good stop you get a result
33:42like this it's really good um i'm pleased and um yeah on to the next ones coming up there's a female in
33:52the car who looks asleep down and out i've just found a purse what i suspect to be some cocaine as
33:59well a young mum risks losing everything against the cocaine there's a red mark there to drugs at
34:06this time you're under the suspicion of possession of class a
34:12that's what's happening in chesterfield traffic cop paddy shambrook is back out on patrol
34:35just had a call come in about female in a car park uh slumped over the wheel
34:40uh of her car they're not sure what's up with it we'll just head there and see what we've got
34:48when you get a call in the middle of the day and someone's asleep and slumped at the wheel
34:51your mind is obviously going to whether they've literally just fallen asleep because they're tired
34:56or whether it's to do with some sort of impairment from drugs or alcohol or some sort of medical
35:02episode they're having more than a hundred drivers are convicted of getting behind the wheel
35:08whilst drunk or drugged every day so officer that's going to be also turn them on through
35:13state six just looking for the car oh it's there even though the car is stationary if paddy suspects
35:22the driver's unfit to drive he can take action to prevent an accident from happening yes yes i'm with
35:29it there's a female in the car who looks asleep
35:41hey up are you all right just switch your engine off a minute yeah sorry all right okay
35:48what's what's going on well someone's rung in concerned about you that's all
35:52right so you've just driven here then hey yeah
36:04yeah well jump in my car then for a minute just check your driving license etc
36:11just hold on to your case so no one else takes it
36:15one three females are right she's just gonna come and sit in my car and do some checks
36:18you know is it your car ducky yeah come sit in my car mate if you've got someone asleep at the wheel
36:25and the engine's running there's always a risk there that the vehicle could be in gear without
36:29the handbrake on and they could just press the accelerator you know and they could be off
36:35how are you feeling at the moment you just fell asleep yeah right so obviously because you've driven here
36:42the wheel there with the engine on i'm going to require to provide what's called a sample of breath
36:48for analysis um are you willing to provide a sample of breath for analysis yeah as paddy tests for
36:54alcohol traffic cop matt cooling arrives to assist so you just lean forwards and blow when you're ready
37:02that's it keep going keep going keep going keep going yeah that's clicked thank you all right
37:07all right morning cool
37:12right you've blown zero there okay the next thing i'm going to do is what's called a drug wipe with
37:19you okay this here is a drug wipe all right and it tests for cannabis and cocaine do you use any
37:26cannabis or cocaine or anything like that yeah i've done in the past yeah right if you are someone
37:33who is going to take recreational drugs then you just can't mix that with driving you can still be
37:37under the influence you know days later which can impair you because you've said you previously used
37:43drugs i'm going to require to find a sample all right for analysis on here obviously you've been seen
37:48driving obviously when i've arrived and you've told me you you you have driven here earlier okay so required
37:54a sample of saliva for analysis all right are you willing to do so yeah okay if you're over the
38:00drink drive limit or under the influence of recreational drugs then you risk still a driving
38:06ban because of the high risk you pose so if you just lean forwards and just stick your tongue out
38:12i have to just take some swipes off here that's it just open your mouth have to do the side of your mouth
38:16as well the vehicle doesn't have to be moving to be an illegal and to be an offense
38:20the reason i expect someone's called us in the first place is because you sort of just
38:27slump there with your seatbelts on the engines running we don't know if you have a diabetic episode
38:32whether you're on drugs alcohol or you're just tired you know we don't we don't know that's all
38:36but um we just have to rule rule out drugs and alcohol be just tired if you just had not much sleep
38:42overnight right leave for us you can see this so against the cannabis it's clear but against the
38:54cocaine there's a red mark there okay so it's detected some cocaine in your saliva all right this
39:01can't tell me how much cocaine you've had so what we do is we go down to the police station and we
39:06request an evidential sample of blood from you and then that will get sent off and a few months later
39:11it will come back to me it's 11 o'clock okay so i'm just telling you at this time you're under arrest
39:15on suspicion of drug driving i think we have seen an increase in drug driving i think it's very very
39:21common for people to use recreational drugs and unfortunately decide to drive as well you know
39:27why risk a driving band for a selfish short-term decision like that to drive whilst under the influence
39:41i've just found in her purse what i suspect to be some cocaine as well you know it's a single deal
39:55bag there and there's obviously some still left in it whether she's had more than what was originally
40:01you know a bag full or not we don't know but she's obviously had some which is why she's positive on the
40:05saliva test we see all too frequently the utter devastation that drug driving can cause to people
40:12whether you're hurting yourself or you know more often not it's other members of the public
40:17it's just awful at any second she could have driven off um and we don't know what to what level
40:24she's impaired at the moment and you know you can see there's lots and lots of people around there's
40:27families walking around the cyclists going past it's a big lump of metal at the end of the day and if
40:32you're impaired um you're more likely to have a collision the number of collisions caused by
40:38drivers high behind the wheel has nearly tripled in less than a decade
40:45inside your purse um is where i found this which obviously i suspect that sorry
40:51okay well it's in your possession so we'll be interviewed about that but i suspect that's
40:55cocaine so this time you're under arrest of suspicion of possession of class a
41:07right i'm paddy we're going to drive now to ripley and go through it all right i'm not going to keep
41:12you any longer than is necessary all right i've got absolutely zero tolerance for drug drivers because
41:20it's just simply uh dangerous you have a much higher risk of causing serious harm but ultimately
41:30many people that use drugs are you know by definition vulnerable is there the opportunity to try and have
41:37that intervention educate them and take them away from it or at least try it's always worth trying
41:43last year derbyshire police carried out over four and a half thousand seizures of illegal drugs from
41:55dealers and users drug use is massive in the uk it's a huge crime problem in terms of drug dealing and
42:03drug users but obviously what we see is the end result is those people that suffer at the end of that
42:10the drug supply uses the road network they have to transport their goods their dealers their money
42:17from point a to point b and they use cars to do it one of the main jobs of a traffic cop is deny
42:23criminals the use of the road we're getting a lot more serious and fatal collisions involving drug drivers
42:30because i don't think they realize the effects the drugs can last it causes a massive problem both from
42:36the rose policing aspect and a local policing aspect in this episode the two young men from bradford
42:48arrested on suspicion of drug dealing are currently released under investigation whilst the police await the
42:55results of forensic phone analysis find something some deals of cannabis no drugs were found on the men
43:02when they were searched at the station it's 17 minutes past nine you're under arrest
43:10the man who tested positive for cocaine at the roadside is currently released under investigation
43:16under suspicion of drug driving no insurance and drug dealing that's either kendall mint cake or crack
43:23cocaine while the police await the results of forensic tests on his phone and the suspected drugs found in
43:29his car the runaway suspect caught by dave and the team was arrested under suspicion of car theft
43:40but released without charge
43:48he was not linked to any drug offenses despite the intel on the car
43:52after two men ran from paddy leaving drugs cash and weapons in the car one man has been charged with
44:01possession of class a drugs failing to stop for police uninsured driving and possession of offensive weapons
44:09you got a baseball bat and i'm not sure he's out to play baseball tonight
44:13the second man was charged with obstructing police cannabis possession and allowing uninsured driving
44:20both are due to appear at court the female in the car looks asleep and the woman who paddy arrested
44:28after failing a roadside drugs test against the cocaine there's a red mark there was reported to the dvla
44:36and her license has been revoked police were not able to take any action against her for the suspected
44:42drug driving as they were unable to obtain an evidential blood sample
