01:39Rominator, all Derbyshire units.
01:50Standby for observations.
01:51Would you mind creating an incident, please?
01:53Yes, go ahead.
01:54Incident location.
01:56Postcode.
01:57Yes, yes.
01:59PC Martin Carter is starting a shift
02:02and heading out on patrol.
02:05Are you monitoring?
02:06Yes, sir.
02:07All right, let's go.
02:08Martin is one of eight single-crewed officers
02:11covering the county's 1,000 square miles.
02:15Being a traffic cop and being single-crewed,
02:18you're always on your own,
02:18so you've never really got that immediate backup.
02:23There's always going to be an element of risk
02:24to being single-crewed.
02:26You're never really sure what you're going to be faced with,
02:29so there's always that apprehension of
02:31who am I going to be dealing with
02:32and what reception am I going to get?
02:35LA, Skatango 25.
02:36Contact to contact with that vehicle.
02:39As he patrols the suburbs of Derby,
02:41Martin spots a suspect car.
02:44I've run the vehicle through YBMW,
02:46allegedly being driven without insurance
02:48and without a valid MOT.
02:50From an A, the driver of this vehicle
02:52is showing to have no insurance.
02:53Morning.
02:58Morning.
02:59Morning.
02:59Morning.
03:00Your vehicle's showing it's got no insurance
03:01and an expired MOT.
03:03I know my expired MOT,
03:04but my insurance,
03:05I'm sure they literally just run out now.
03:07So it's expired?
03:08Yeah, literally expired.
03:08So you've got no insurance
03:10and you shouldn't be driving anyway
03:11because you've not got an MOT.
03:12It's literally booked in for MOT.
03:14Well, unfortunately,
03:15you're not going to be driving this vehicle away
03:16because it's going to be seized under section 165
03:18with the road traffic act.
03:19Please.
03:22Come on.
03:25Look, come on.
03:26But you shouldn't be driving this car.
03:27Come on.
03:28I've been driving too long.
03:30I can't let you drive the vehicle
03:32if you're not insured.
03:32Come on.
03:33You must have a heart.
03:34I do,
03:35but unfortunately,
03:36my job is to do stuff like it's seized,
03:39uninsured,
03:40and vehicles without an MOT.
03:41I have a job to do,
03:42a delivery job.
03:43I'm going to lose my job.
03:44Why are you going to lose your job?
03:45Because I have to drive.
03:46If I get these points,
03:47I'll lose my license.
03:48Your vehicle's been seized
03:49under section 165 of the road traffic act.
03:51Okay?
03:52You can take any...
03:53Yeah, I am seizing it.
03:554.
03:58And I'll ask a tango,
03:591-4.
04:01Section 165 of the road traffic act.
04:05You're also going to be reported
04:07because you've got a bolt tire as well.
04:09Bolt tire.
04:11You do not have to say anything,
04:12but it may harm your defense
04:13if you do not mention,
04:14won't question something
04:15which will later align the court.
04:16Anything you do say,
04:17may be given evidence.
04:18Do you understand?
04:20I'm not bold.
04:21Okay?
04:21You are basically bold.
04:22I've shaved it.
04:24Don't tell me to shut up.
04:25You're being disrespectful.
04:28Personal insults,
04:29not an issue whatsoever.
04:30Take it with a pinch of salt.
04:31There's nothing I've not been called
04:33as being a traffic cop
04:34with ginger hair
04:34that I've not heard before.
04:35I'm more bothered about
04:36the offenses you're committing
04:38and the lack of respect
04:39and the lack of respect
04:39towards authority.
04:41What a nuisance.
04:43Trust me!
04:44The incident attracts
04:46the attention of a local resident.
04:48What are you doing?
04:50Put that down now!
04:5210-0-1-4.
04:53Could you start getting
04:54firearms officers
04:55by location?
04:56A member of public
04:57has just come out of his house.
04:58He's holding a firearm.
04:59He's just made a threat
05:00towards the person
05:01that I'm dealing with.
05:02Yeah, that's received.
05:02My initial response is just
05:05what on earth are you doing?
05:07This can't really be
05:08a real pistol, can it?
05:09Surely?
05:10Surely someone's not
05:11pointing a gun
05:12at a policeman
05:13in broad daylight.
05:14Drop that now!
05:15Put it on the floor!
05:17Puts it on the floor!
05:20Babe!
05:20Don't start.
05:22Babe!
05:22Occupants in possession
05:23of a firearm.
05:24We've got reports
05:25that they've evolved
05:26with a bus for ARB.
05:27Are you able to attend, please?
05:30Yes, sir.
05:31If you do ask for help,
05:33you know you're going
05:33to get it at some point.
05:34It's just how long
05:35it takes to get there.
05:36With firearms officers
05:37dispatched...
05:39Yeah, I'm shouting
05:40to Oscar Tango 1-3.
05:42Traffic cop Rich Morris
05:43is also racing
05:44to back up Martin.
05:47Hey, now, can you also see
05:48if 1-3 needs anybody else
05:49down to assist?
05:51Yes, sir.
05:51We work together
05:52as a close team
05:53and we know each other
05:54inside out
05:55and you can kind of tell
05:57by the tone of somebody's voice
05:58when they're in a bit of trouble.
06:01How are we supposed
06:07to get through this, then?
06:09Honestly.
06:14Tango 1-0 out of state, sir.
06:17As Rich and a firearms unit arrive...
06:20The chap that was waving
06:21the pistol around,
06:23he's chucked it back
06:23in his house.
06:24Yes, yes.
06:25Martin is trying
06:26to calm the man.
06:28You can't just pull out the gun
06:29and start making threats
06:30with him.
06:30It's an airsoft.
06:31How is members of the public
06:32supposed to know?
06:33It's supposed to know.
06:34I've been firing
06:35into that bucket
06:36every single day
06:37and no-one's making a comment.
06:39Right.
06:40Police shouldn't listen
06:40to you then, should it?
06:41Yeah, I understand that.
06:42I was actually helping you out.
06:44You don't need to do it
06:45in that manner, do you?
06:47By pulling out a weapon.
06:49Firearms officers
06:49begin a search
06:50of the property.
06:52You claimed it's
06:53an airsoft pistol
06:54but I've not examined it,
06:55obviously.
06:56Yes, yes.
06:57If someone's pointing
06:58a pistol at you,
06:59you're going to be in fear.
07:00You don't know
07:01whether it's a real gun
07:01or not, do you?
07:02Until it's been examined
07:03by an expert.
07:05What's that?
07:05Red and black thing?
07:06Yeah.
07:07I can't put it
07:08on the bench or whatever.
07:11In total,
07:13three guns are found.
07:15It's the first time
07:16anyone's pulled a gun
07:17out on me.
07:18I don't know
07:18whether it's a viable
07:19firearm or whether
07:20he intends to use it
07:21against the female
07:22or the driver
07:23or even me.
07:26Professionally done.
07:28It's just a
07:29spring-loaded BB gun
07:31that fires plastic
07:32forbearance.
07:34So, you know,
07:35it ain't going to cause
07:35anybody serious injuries.
07:37However,
07:37circumstances where
07:38it's threatening
07:39somebody in public
07:40place, it is a firearm.
07:41We'll get rid of it
07:43and we'll be dealt with.
07:45Currently under
07:46arrest on suspicion,
07:47I've been in possession
07:48of an imitation firearm
07:49with intent to cause
07:52immediate fear of
07:53violence to another
07:53person.
07:54Can I just do my
07:55wife?
07:56We'll tell her.
07:57No, she needs to
07:58know that.
07:58Don't start.
07:59Pulling away.
07:59Don't start.
08:00Stop pulling away,
08:01chap.
08:02She needs to know.
08:03Hey!
08:08Now!
08:09Stop shouting.
08:10What the hell has
08:11happened?
08:11Well, because I got
08:12me hair soft,
08:13dar.
08:13We're not here to
08:14discuss what's
08:15happened.
08:18We're entitled to
08:19your opinion,
08:20but it's not going to
08:21change what's
08:21happening.
08:30I've got another
08:31issue on here.
08:34Put them tiles down.
08:35There's no need to be
08:36walking around with
08:37them, is there?
08:39Please put the tile
08:40down and we'll talk to
08:41you.
08:41We're going to get
08:41you some help.
08:44Listen to me.
08:45What would you think?
08:47I'm supposed to leave
08:48my temperatur?
08:49No, you're not.
08:51Please put the tiles
08:52down.
08:53I want my husband
08:54back.
08:55Your husband is going
08:56to be back later on.
08:57You're going to end up
08:58getting yourself in
08:59trouble and we don't
08:59want that.
09:00You seem like a good
09:01person.
09:02So please put that
09:03down.
09:05Listen.
09:09You're all right?
09:15We've managed to calm
09:16her down.
09:17It's been supported by
09:18the girl who lives
09:20next door.
09:21Yeah, that's lovely.
09:23All right.
09:23You take care.
09:24Bye.
09:26I think a partner who's
09:27been arrested has got
09:29mental health issues and
09:30we're going to make a
09:31referral.
09:32Fortunately, she has got
09:33a caring, compassionate
09:34neighbour and that's
09:35helped to resolve it.
09:36With the firearms
09:38incident over, attention
09:40finally turns back to
09:41the uninsured driver.
09:43I'm really angry and I
09:44call it that.
09:45I don't mean what I
09:46say.
09:47What did you say?
09:48I called him
09:48baldy.
09:50He's not baldy.
09:52What's wrong with you?
09:54Come on, dude.
09:55What's the point to get
09:55for the title?
09:56It'll be at three.
09:57Yeah, it could be.
09:58I work for the living.
10:00Right.
10:00Because now I've got
10:00some points I can't do
10:01anymore.
10:03You've got through
10:04already?
10:04Yeah, I've got three.
10:05It's unlucky then for
10:06you.
10:07But what can I say, dude?
10:09Look, you need to get
10:10your house in order.
10:11That car has to be 100%
10:13safe.
10:13It is what it is and the
10:15recovery is here to take
10:16your car.
10:17So can you do me a
10:18favour and get your stuff
10:19out that you need?
10:20Yeah, yeah.
10:22He's trying to keep
10:23working for his family.
10:24Unfortunately, due to his
10:26tire being less than 1.6
10:27mil and no insurance, he's
10:30going to accrue some
10:31points on his licence, which
10:33may ban him from driving
10:34for a while.
10:36It's unfortunate and I
10:37have sympathy for him.
10:38However, the rules of the
10:40road are that, you know,
10:41you've got to get your own
10:42house in order.
10:43With the car heading to
10:45the depot, Martin can
10:46resume his shift.
10:48It's the most bizarre,
10:50unusual scenario that I've
10:52ever been involved in as a
10:54traffic cop.
10:55They say expect the
10:55unexpected, but no amount
10:57of preparation could prepare
10:59you for someone pointing a
11:01gun at you for essentially
11:02what appeared to be a
11:04routine traffic stop.
11:10Coming up.
11:10It's made off for speed.
11:12Speed's in excess of 9,500
11:14miles an hour.
11:15Suspected thieves make a
11:17run for it.
11:18Put it into a head.
11:20It's only to stop.
11:22And a dangerous driver.
11:24Taser!
11:24Taser that!
11:25Taser!
11:26Threatens a lone officer.
11:28Get on the floor now!
11:29The End
11:34Taser!
11:42Officer Tango 1-5, go ahead
11:44of us.
11:45It's made off for speed.
11:46Speed's in excess of 9,500
11:48miles an hour.
11:49Yes, sir, receive.
11:52Put it into a head.
11:54Run off into the field.
11:56Near Derby, four suspected
11:58thieves are on the run after failing to stop for a lone officer tango one zero troubling
12:05i'm about four minutes out traffic cop rich morris is on his way to assist colleague dave
12:11shaw search for the suspects the car is closed he's had a short pursuit with it it's crashed
12:19for d camp from it all wearing balaclavas baseball caps have led into fields because you know you're
12:29on your own you don't know how far away your nearest backup car is there's three or four of
12:34them and there's one of me i've got to be a little bit careful dave's on his own up here basically in
12:39the middle of the field in the middle of nowhere in the last year single crewed officers were over
12:4550 percent more likely to suffer an injury than those in pairs you okay mate right where do you
12:52want me right well gone that way over the field like diagonally across over that way right i want to
12:59take this next right here dave while colleague dave continues the search on foot rich begins circling
13:06the area now where they're going to be going through all these fields we know that for sure
13:13we can't put the dog in the fields because there's cows in there that's just going to be carnage for
13:20everybody it is very difficult trying to catch this type of criminal when they run off because
13:26they've run off into the dark there's cover on the ground there's bushes trees from tiding they tend to
13:32wear black clothing anyway all the time so at the end of the day we've got limited resources pitch black
13:37so it's very difficult after 40 minutes there's no sign of the suspects yeah it's a bit bittersweet
13:46really because we've got the vehicle well we haven't got the offenders
13:53at the moment there's a group going around hotels and residential areas car parks
13:58looking for vans to target the cutting holes in the side removing the items from within and
14:02they're gone very very quickly there's hundreds and hundreds of pounds worth of stuff in here drills
14:06there's a speaker set there's what's this is specialist equipment here and quite a bit of it we've
14:12identified already has been stolen thanks we've got the car we've got all the stuff out we're subject to
14:18a full forensic examination tomorrow hopefully come back with some names there were occasions where
14:25we perhaps felt more vulnerable than we would have done had there been two of us in the vehicle
14:31i remember the good old days where we were double crewed every night there was two of us in the
14:35traffic car some of those days are long gone dave is back on patrol they asked tango one part one came
14:50past that was showing no insurance right his onboard computer alerts him to another suspect car
15:00just have a look at it for me yeah pass details and now there's no insurance hold on the vehicle
15:06it's stopping at astro on london road i know yes it's family to stop london road and high performance
15:18vehicle suit management trains speed is 55 miles per hour yeah that's just it thank you i've put the blue
15:26lights on the police vehicle in the attempt to stop the car and immediately he's failed to stop and we're
15:32into a pursuit from an a we've got a vehicle failing to stop traffic because without making the way into
15:36the area i've seen the old dri on the offside wrong side of the road it's high risk speed eight zero
15:48mountain road being single crewed i'm having to do the driving i'm having to pass the commentary through
15:54to the control room and i'm constantly having to make sure that above all it's safe and that nobody's
16:00being put in harm's way this should stop got alongside it white mail one occupant it's wanted
16:07to pull over it's made off speedy seven zero we've got a unit with stinger able to make the way to the
16:12location yes sir tango three i'm in a high performance marty vehicle pursuit management track
16:20fellow traffic cop nick rice heads towards the pursuit we've got a unit with stinger traveling towards
16:26location now we're just making our way to try and catch up with it working single crew it's quite
16:35dangerous if they don't want to stop if you then got a pursuit on your hands you've got to think about
16:39bringing that pursuit to a safe conclusion and you can't do that solely by yourself with backup still
16:45several miles away so the wrong side of the carriageway with speed 80. dave's on his own again so right
16:53right right right through a red ats straight over roundabout speed is 75 it's heavy braking standby
17:03and we've done a left left left here collision with an oncoming taxi speed increases to 65
17:11by you pursuing a driver through the streets of derby on my own it's not a nice place to be i don't know
17:19who i'm pursuing i don't know whether there's any weapons in the car i may be required at a split
17:24second to stop the police car and get out and deal with you on my own speed 75 in a 310 road it's on the
17:32brakes stand by it's a crash crash crash stand by with concerns for his safety dave draws his taser

18:55one male detained ops unit standby for observations
19:01officers have detained the suspect nearby
19:04located next to the side of the bridge that's the fella yeah that's it 100 percent right at the
19:12moment you're under arrest all right because we think yeah you can drive in a vehicle that's failed
19:16to stop the ah deep breath keep going to stop keep going keep going keep going that's sick you're done
19:23thank you marvelous legal limits 35 you're telling me what you're going to get you scored 83 at the moment

19:37all right all right all right all right all right all right i know this is what's happened at the
19:43moment a little new lessons you're driving whilst you're on okay hey no i've seen it just a little
19:48covered i just told you a lot of people just see the taser and they've had enough and they don't want
19:54any more involvement with it but it takes a very different individual to ignore the fact you've got one
20:00and ignore the fact that you're prepared to use it right yeah yeah yeah five he kept coming at me
20:06and i tasered him twice didn't he didn't even blink yeah i think it'd be fair to say that i was
20:11slightly shocked he should have felt a very nasty sting because he's got 50 000 volts going through him
20:17and that's considerably painful he nailed it up the bus lane pulled alongside him at the search
20:21and pull alongside daddy looked at me he went what me i went yeah just pull over there
20:25i just went there are 110 assaults on police officers every day all right yeah i'm fine
20:33yeah all right thanks working on your own you are conscious of every vehicle that you stop
20:41you're conscious of every person that you speak to and you've always got to be on your guard but we
20:46worked together as a team and we ended up with the right result another selfish road user that's been
20:51second off the road coming up you're not going anywhere with this it's been prohibited that
20:59gluten's pure another officer it's fine stop it's fine stop alone and outnumbered
21:08squad units restinger please felt stop onto the roundabout shedding a severe amount of its load
21:14speed is 110 there's a hgb in front of us now and a high speed pursuit with a burglary suspect
21:23i believe this is a dead end comes to a crashing end
21:44one maker model is it please catching criminals when single crewed relies on teamwork and tactics
21:57it's literally heading back towards halfway near sheffield pc nick lovett and other road crime team
22:05officers are hunting for a suspect car linked to a spate of burglaries
22:12we are single crewed but we are affected because we are a team and we are
22:16allowed to hunt as a pack it is a massive team effort
22:20and have you seen oscar romey victor two
22:24yeah current behind the vehicle it's got a felt stop marker on it
22:27i'm in a high performance or more vehicle pursuit management trained i'm waiting for oscar romey
22:32victor one to arrive uh the intention is to cause the vehicle to start using preemptive tactics
22:38so i'm directly behind the vehicle now the vehicle initially slows starts to pull over but something
22:45at that point isn't right and i just know that that vehicle is going to make off
22:48yeah it's towards the police station it's going it's going but i've come to a complete stop we're
22:55already off and a uh oscar romey to do vehicle now failing stop then stop
23:01it's left left left
23:03suits are inherently dangerous by nature and they're not fun to places to be in especially if you are
23:09single crewed i have got the driving to do but be aware of what the vehicle's doing or the vehicles
23:15or the members of the public but also i've got to give commentary all the way through it's currently
23:20high street high street losing sight of it losing sight uh speed nine zero so overtaking a vehicle
23:33speed is now eight zero or no reason for failing stop where the conditions find dry
23:40visibility is clear no other people on the road no pedestrians
23:45speed now one zero zero
23:53well coming up to a crossroads lights have now changed to amber and now to red standby standby
24:05the array is now high through the reds through the reds we are now eight zero in a five zero we're
24:12traveling at high speed on unlit country roads cutting bends and not stopping at junctions going
24:17through traffic lights on red the main issue for me was his manner of driving his ability to keep that
24:23vehicle on the road and not go off the road injuring himself or any other passengers he got in that vehicle
24:29into a three zero on the wrong side of the road speed six zero and a three zero into the 50s
24:35we are now we're on approach to the uh roundabouts heavy braking standby standby standby it's not one not one
24:45not two not two it's not three not three it's the fourth the fourth can we get a stinger header and fennie please come on
24:56we're traveling back towards the motorway i know i've got other south koo vehicles heading towards me
25:01i also know i've got road policing assisting
25:03and i can hear on the radio of a setting up of a stinger location so that's good news speed is
25:15one one zero entering the 30s there's a htv in front of us now he's going for the overtake on the htv
25:24we are clear of the htv
25:26we are now left left left i believe this is a dead end the vehicle's not stopping and i know we're
25:37running out of room there's a parking area right down at the bottom so i think there's going to be a decam
25:56so i am joined very quickly by roads policing and local policing units
26:17get here now get here here towards me now have you got cuffs yeah yeah the driver is detained within
26:24the woodland right have you got anything on you that can you hit me or my colleague are you sure
26:30any drugs or anything like that right onto your side onto your fingers right let's lift you up guys
26:37one two three up
26:44this lad is very lucky not to be seriously hurt or or fatally injured three feet to the left is a tree
26:50had you taken off and landed and hit that tree before landing we could have been looking at a
26:55very different outcome
27:02on the search of the vehicle we found lock picking kit and ultimately this lad is involved in criminality
27:08and he's willing to drive in a dangerous and reckless manner so the fact that we've detained him
27:13arrested him and are now going to put him before the courts is a real result
27:27in that case
27:32yeah go on past details i want to see the unit i've got a shed of a van five or overloaded yes yes we do
27:40company can the unit start making the way please yes yes ten miles south of derby traffic cop rich
27:47morris is responding to a call from a single crewed officer the van has got a trailer overloaded and
27:53and they shed a lot of its stuff all over the road so we're going to go and just back up with
28:00this job loan officers reportedly face more pressure and stress than when double crude
28:07that is absolutely ridiculous you've watched on the roundabout and then you've watched about six
28:13there you're not going anywhere with this it's been prohibited that
28:19right since pure yeah you've got your driver's license
28:31why'd you have to think about that i'm dyslexic uh
28:36further to last uh appears this vehicle is a possible cloned van naq relay last with a clone
28:42vehicle you don't know who the register keeper is you really don't have a lot of intelligence to go on
28:48all we know is that people claim cars so they can go out and commit crime

29:48what sort of weight size is this
29:51it's a transit van three and a half ton speed is 39 onto the roundabout
29:57shedded the severe amount of its load it's gone left left left under the railway bridge
30:02received
30:06tango one zero traveling well i'm about four minutes out
30:13it's got some of its load hanging over the near side
30:16dra is still low yeah it's right right right
30:23decam

31:13hey all of you come here i didn't say you could go
31:17we don't
31:19well i suspect it's supposed to be stolen at the minute
31:23it's hard to say this van's stolen lads

31:28do i want to investigate where this has come from all that stuff in there the scrap
31:32for what mate first
31:33sir i'll do your checks on it then i will
31:37with backup yet to arrive the four passengers also decide to leave the scene
31:43working single crew when it goes a bit wrong or you need some support it is a dangerous place to
31:48be a lot of the time and it's difficult it's challenging tango one zero on state six
31:53minutes later traffic cop rich and the police dog arrive to help search for the driver
32:01white male really scruffy looking skinny build wearing like a blue tracksuit
32:09he's gone there and then right and i've lost him okay we'll give it a go he's run up here mate
32:16he's come around that bend and then come up here but as i've come around the bend i don't he's just
32:20finished so makes me think you could be in these gardens here
32:28they can manage to walk and run through all this without tortures and here's us stumbling over everything
32:35we've got a drone up right above us big grounds though it's difficult
32:50you're saying there's a heat signal to the other side of the fence
33:00got someone yeah the drone has located a heat source
33:05the heat source he finds is ridiculous yeah anything but a human
33:24unbelievable they're not here now mate are they with no sign of the driver this vehicle shed a lot of
33:34its load so it's going to need urgent recovery from highways please officers turn their attention back
33:41to the van is it on its original plate it checks it's on false plates and the vin's been scraped off in
33:49the window what a surprise no insurance no motion on it as well never going back on the road mate
33:56that is it so yeah fair one what a mess good stop there that mate cheers mate
34:04so it's had that number plate on it covering that it's a poor attempt at a clone
34:10it wouldn't surprise me if all these are stolen scrap metal has a decent value nowadays
34:15it's ridiculously overweight not sheeted down it's just a mess isn't it look at the state of it
34:23there's no fuel cap on it um there cord exposed on this tire it's an absolute death trap
34:33the vehicle will be seized unfortunately we've not located him so he lives to fight another day but
34:42it's off the road i'm happy with that coming up of course if you could give it a stop a solo officer
34:52don't get back in the vehicle battles with a belligerent driver
35:12it's been a report of a stolen vehicle it's been sighted in the chesterfield area
35:38this is eastbound seven three minutes ago it could be coming back down lone traffic officers like andy
35:46rely on technology to help keep track of suspects on the move
35:50four units of the vehicles hit ampr they have several tactical units they're close by to engage
35:59yeah it's a contact contact just behind it yes thank you as another officer spots the car
36:06it speeds off with a high chance of a pursuit and he's racing to provide backup come on get out
36:19the way get out of the way move when you're on your own you try and always back your colleagues up just
36:25so that you can at least try and mitigate any risk towards you with andy close by the suspect pulls over

38:10an hour later andy's tailing a suspicious van

38:19well yeah it's registered i'm sure it's held there's no reports on it i'm putting an order
38:29aside from the absent number plate and a faulty light everything else checks out

38:40just want to see if you can give it a stop
38:46have a word with the chap
38:52you are on your own you're always aware of that fact no matter how good you are at your job you're
38:56always going to find yourself in a situation that would be easier with more people that's just the
39:00nature of it
39:04you just never know what you're going to come across
39:06hey you're all right just stop you because you've got a light out on the back and you've got no

39:45okay
39:48from an a can units please start making the way immediate with andy struggling with the driver
39:54you're safe colleague chris wells jackson is racing to provide backup
39:59put your hand out for us please and behind your back
40:02hand behind your back please
40:03what you're asking me for this time yeah you're under arrest
40:15use your phone thank you i've got hold of the driver and by that point there are other units
40:21that are coming towards me but you've got to focus on the fact that you are still with someone now who
40:25even with a pair of ankles on they can still cause issues for you and you're on your own so you've just
40:29got to be paramount in your own safety and deal with this person's in front of you as chris arrives
40:36andy has managed to get the driver safely handcuffed
40:39go and sit in the back of my car right sit in there
40:50should we watch this video no good here we are anyway what's your vehicle
40:58that my friend is a red light isn't it yeah right power of video eh
41:03i was wrong you were right and i apologize do you know there's a lesson to be learned from this
41:10what is it just be right with cops and be right with you because i don't even know ticket fit
41:13number plate do apologize i think before red if you're going to do me dummy as we've come to an
41:18agreement all we'll deal with your thought is red light all right you'll probably get a driver
41:24improvement of course there's no points and no fine stick the plate on get it stuck on yeah light on
41:29back stuck on all right you have a good night see you later it's very bizarre he doesn't feel that he
41:38was right to be stopped i think that was his main issue but he has admitted the error of his ways it's
41:43just very unnerving when people going to get back in their car you don't know what they're doing and
41:47they've got the key he's already been a bit up and down about it so it's just you're not sure what's
41:52happening i think anyone that does our job and says they don't get scared i would say he's probably
41:57not being totally truthful it can go wrong so quickly you just become very very wary of what
42:03people can do and what they're capable of because sometimes people just get red missed research shows
42:10that the chances of an officer being assaulted increased by as much as 40 percent when they
42:15are working alone i do think those policing is the most dangerous job in policing where we're single
42:23crude all the time got to use the team uh use our tactics use our experience and knowledge to do it
42:29it's a team sport policing is in this episode put that down now the man arrested with a replica gun
42:39remember a public's just come out of his house he's holding the firearm was charged with possession of
42:44an imitation firearm you can't just pull out the gun and start making threats it's an airsoft
