00:00It's gone straight to the red line.
00:03He's got damage.
00:05He's got damage.
00:06Don't do that!
00:07Stay still!
00:08Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:10It does have warning markers for potential firearms.
00:15Turn over!
00:16You're under arrest.
00:17Attentive supply capacity to get drug.
00:19Police a thousand square miles.
00:23It's a crash, crash.
00:25You've got any other injury other than your head?
00:27With some of the UK's most dangerous roads.
00:30Oh, nobody's been killed out of this.
00:32I don't know.
00:33Do you know how fast you're going?
00:34It's scary when stuff like this happened.
00:36In life and death situations.
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be tainted!
00:41We've got runners.
00:42Face down.
00:45Yes, yes, successful stink.
00:49Around every corner.
00:51It's a great acting, mate.
00:53There's a new challenge for the traffic cops.
00:57They've got a vehicle now!
01:00I'm going home.
01:01David!
01:02Stop grabbing me like that!
01:06Crash, crash, crash.
01:08Coming up...
01:09You're all over the place there, aren't you?
01:11Yeah.
01:12A drink and drug driving crackdown.
01:15At the moment, you're under arrest on suspicion of driving whilst unfit.
01:20Officers targeting risk-takers.
01:22Speed increase to 7-0 in a 3-0.
01:25Through a set of red traffic lights.
01:27Standby.
01:28And dangerous drivers.
01:29Show me hands now!
01:30Show me hands!
01:31Show me hands!
01:32Get on the floor!
01:33Get on the floor now!
01:36Trying to escape justice.
01:38It's a crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash.
01:41All right, mate.
01:42Driver is unconscious.
01:43You okay?
01:45Need an extinguisher.
01:47From an observation, South Mobile's observations for a DIC.
02:01Currently drinking.
02:02It's a possible DIC.
02:04Informant said that she believes that the driver would kill someone with the manner of his driving.
02:10With just a few weeks until Christmas, Derbyshire police are running a crackdown on drink and drug drivers.
02:18I know you're taking a 3-3.
02:19Are you running through ANPR to see whether it's in the cameras?
02:23It's 21-47.
02:25Yeah, 24.
02:26Over the weekend in December, drink driving increases.
02:30It's one job after another.
02:32And it's just constant.
02:33Drivers being reported drink driving.
02:35Collisions where the drivers are drunk.
02:38You can definitely see there's a huge increase during the Christmas period.
02:42Traffic cop Stuart Smith is looking out for suspects around Derby city centre.
02:47Oh, dear.
02:48An eye on your tank, go over 3-3.
02:55Color, left.
02:58Go to, vehicle check, please.
03:00Color 1-4-105.
03:02That's the view, sir.
03:05The compact, speed, red-o-feetal, silver, ensure impelled M.O.T.s in order to report.
03:11Vehicle insured down South London way.
03:15Yeah, I'm down off London way.
03:20Yeah, 24.
03:23He's just looked at me.
03:25Yeah, for Tango 33.
03:27I blit him up.
03:28At this time, he's failing to stop.
03:30Albeit at very low speed.
03:31Still behind him?
03:34Yes, yes.
03:35Speed is 2-0.
03:37I suspect he's probably a drink driver.
03:40Yeah, 0-2 initial to be authorised.
03:42Yeah, he's still failing to stop.
03:46He did look back at me, so he's very much aware of my presence.
03:49A lot of the time, with drink drivers,
03:51even when you put the blue lights and sirens on,
03:53if they're that drunk, they won't even notice
03:55that you're trying to stop them.
03:58Vehicle's now excess speed.
04:00Driving back into the estate.
04:02It's now left, left, left.
04:04Still low risk, no other road users.
04:07Speed is now 4-0 towards 5-0 in a 3-0.
04:12The area is momentarily high
04:14as it goes through a red light, through the lights.
04:21He's got no control over his car.
04:23I mean, he's driving two tonnes worth of metal
04:25down residential streets.
04:26He don't know what he's going to do.
04:28I don't even think he knows what he's going to do.
04:30He needs to be stopped
04:31before he's involved in some horrendous collision.
04:34Stand by, I'm just trying to make some ground
04:35on the vehicle it's got ahead of me.
04:38Wrong way up or one way.
04:39It's a crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash.
04:52Driver is unconscious.
04:53You all right, mate?
05:07You OK?
05:10Yeah, airbag's deployed.
05:12Driver appears unconscious.
05:13More units to me, please.
05:15Yeah, units on route.
05:16Do you want to bring him up?
05:17Yes, yes.
05:25And fire service, please.
05:27Vehicles catching fire.
05:31Need an extinguisher.
05:32If a car catches fire,
05:34you've got fluids leaking out of the engine,
05:36we've potentially got fuel lines that have ruptured.
05:39You've got to act fast.
05:44You're looking at a car
05:45that's going to go up in flames very quickly.
05:47Within 30 seconds,
05:48the whole car can be engulfed.
05:54Stay where you are, mate.
05:56Stay where you are.
05:56You've been in an accident,
05:59if you haven't seen notice.
06:00Have you hit your head?
06:00Yeah.
06:01You've crashed.
06:02Yeah.
06:04You OK?
06:05I've got an ETA for it to my unit.
06:09Yeah, I can hit sirens.
06:10This driver is not unconscious.
06:12He's now awake.
06:13He's used a fire extinguisher to put the vehicle out.
06:17Just need another unit to me.
06:19Eh?
06:20What's your accident?
06:21What's what?
06:22Accident.
06:23Are you OK?
06:24Are you hurt?
06:25Yeah, I'm right.
06:25You just realise you've been in a crash?
06:28Yeah.
06:29Yeah?
06:29Is he still in the driver's seat?
06:31Yes, yes, still in the driver's seat.
06:33It is a bad situation,
06:35but you're just relying on your colleagues
06:36getting to you as quickly as they can.
06:38You can hear sirens in the background.
06:39You know that backup's coming
06:40because they've all heard the pursuit.
06:42How are you?
06:43Are you hurting anywhere?
06:45I'm on the park.
06:46You're not, eh?
06:47I'm on the park.
06:48You're parked?
06:49Yeah.
06:49You're far from parked?
06:51As well as a van.
06:52Two other cars are damaged
06:54and a telegraph pole has been knocked down.
06:57How are your legs?
06:58Oh, the parking.
07:00You're not parked?
07:01No.
07:02No.
07:03Do you not, do you not remember?
07:06Have you had a lot to drink?
07:09No.
07:10Eh?
07:11No.
07:14Three, three, we've got plenty of units with me now.
07:16Does the door open on the other side?
07:18Are you able to get out?
07:24Right, I'm just going to handcuff you, mate.
07:27At this time, you're under arrest.
07:29Dangerous driving.
07:31Fairly stop.
07:32For police.
07:33Section 4.
07:34Unfit to drive through drink or drugs.
07:36You okay?
07:37You understand that?
07:38The airbag smoke and the smell's starting to move away.
07:40You can smell a bit of booze now.
07:42The way he's acting, the way he's speaking,
07:44he's absolutely off his tree.
07:46He's had far too many sherbets, as it were.
07:50Just sit down with your bum on there.
07:55Touch.
07:58That looks new, doesn't it?
07:59Yeah.
08:01It was always, his head worked foot well when I got to him.
08:04Yeah, he's sore.
08:06Have you hit your head?
08:08You've got a headache?
08:09No.
08:10Eh?
08:10He's definitely going to have to go to hospital.
08:14He's definitely going to have to go to hospital, yeah.
08:17He's got a lot of luck on his side.
08:19I think the fact that what he'd crashed into has saved him.
08:22That transit, folding up the way it did,
08:24has brought all the speed out of the crash.
08:27Had he have crashed into the wall, the telegraph pole,
08:29any of the other cars that were parked on that street,
08:31or a house,
08:32we were potentially looking at a fatal collision.
08:35That transit has literally saved his life.
08:38Are you happy to provide me with a breath test?
08:40Yeah.
08:41Yeah?
08:41All good.
08:42All you need to do is put your lips around the tube
08:43and blow through the tube.
08:45I can feel your breath coming out the other side, all right?
08:48So you blow through that when you're ready.
08:49I don't know.
08:51I'll tell you when to stop.
08:52Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
08:53Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
08:55Keep going, and stop.
08:57Coming up.
09:00That's why I couldn't stop, look.
09:01I've got a whiskey bottle on the brake pedal.
09:03Officers picking up the pieces.
09:05You know where you are?
09:07No.
09:08Oh.
09:09Dealing with a trail of destruction.
09:11He's basically hit two cars, hasn't he?
09:14What a nightmare.
09:15Show me him!
09:16Get on the floor!
09:17Get on the floor now!
09:18And more chaos on Derbyshire's roads.
09:21Absolutely stupid.
09:23I was panicking.
09:40It's a crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash.
09:43Eight days before Christmas, during a crackdown on drink and drug driving,
09:47traffic cop Stuart Smith is dealing with an emergency.
09:51After a fleeing driver crashed and knocked himself unconscious.
10:00At this time, you're under arrest.
10:02Dangerous driving.
10:04Fairly stopped.
10:05Unfit to drive through drink or drugs.
10:07Are you happy to provide me with a breath test?
10:09Yeah?
10:10All good.
10:11Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
10:12Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
10:14Keep going, and stop.
10:17Okay.
10:18So you've failed the roadside breath test.
10:19So you're over the drink drive limit, which is 35.
10:23So you're further under arrest on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed alcohol
10:27limit for the road traffic act.
10:29Drink driving.
10:30You're under arrest for drink driving.
10:32Okay?
10:34Do you understand that?
10:35We need the paramedics to have a look at you, and then eventually we'll need to take
10:38you to custody.
10:39Come on, then.
10:40Stand up again.
10:41I want the one.
10:42Yeah, yeah.
10:42Yeah, yeah.
10:43Because we need to check your head.
10:44You had a bunch of head.
10:45Well, let's see what the...
10:46Yeah, I'm not actually...
10:48Your car's in pieces.
10:49No, I've been in this one sitting in.
10:51You don't think you've been in an accident?
10:53No.
10:54You have?
10:54No.
10:55A big one?
10:56No.
10:57Your car was on fire.
10:58What's wrong?
10:59Do you know where you are?
11:01No.
11:01No?
11:02Oh.
11:03It'll all become clear in the morning.
11:06Being drunk and slurred speech and confused can quite easily come about from a head injury,
11:12but he had nothing really apparent.
11:13With the level of intrusion in the car, I've more come to the conclusion it was through drink
11:18rather than a head injury.
11:22With the driver going to hospital for a checkover before being transported to police custody,
11:28Sergeant Mark Gould arrives to help with the clear-up.
11:31How are you doing, all right?
11:33I'm going to cry because broadband will be off over Christmas.
11:35Oh, no.
11:36Goodbye.
11:37Can't be having that.
11:42Well, he's come round at quite a speed, hasn't he?
11:45Considering it started off as like a really slow pursuit, then obviously decided to go for it.
11:51As is usually the case, ran out of skill, didn't he?
11:56They're not particularly worried about him.
11:58They've had his arms in air.
12:00Yeah, he's got a couple of light bruises or lumps that are probably going to come up a bit worse.
12:04He's bullseyeed the window because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
12:08Ah.
12:09And he was head down at footwell, at passenger side, when I got to him, unconscious.
12:13I was like, ugh.
12:14Cart's caught fire, then I've had to worry about getting a car.
12:17Did you pull him out of the car?
12:18No, he woke up and he walked out himself.
12:22What a nightmare.
12:25I'll just have a quick nosey at this.
12:27That's why I couldn't stop, look.
12:30Got a whiskey bottle under the brake pedal.
12:32Well, vodka or whatever that is.
12:36Vodka.
12:36Yeah, that's a proper strong drink.
12:37You can tell I don't drink, can't you?
12:42Wow, wow, wow.
12:45Unbelievable.
12:46It could be that it was literally drinking and driving.
12:50The fact that it's in the footwell, it's pretty poor, really.
12:54It's a worst case scenario, isn't it?
12:56Someone who's as drunk as that, still drinking, continuing to drive around.
12:59It's just dangerous for everybody.
13:02What's happening with this post?
13:05Yeah, highways, I guess.
13:07Is it highways?
13:09Here.
13:10I don't know.
13:11Is it like a communications company?
13:13Well, it's a phone line, isn't it?
13:15Yeah.
13:16And I don't even know whether internet would be off that as well.
13:18Can we get the necessary people out for the telegraph poll?
13:21Wow, I'll be wording it.
13:22NA Tango CO3.
13:23I think that people don't realise how much carnage they create.
13:28I mean, it's not just one officer dealing with a car
13:31and arranging for a tow truck to come and collect it.
13:34There was three cars destroyed, telegraph poles.
13:37We've had to get emergency services.
13:40We've had fire engines out, ambulance crews.
13:43Over 10 officers present because we're having to close the road.
13:46And then you're having your telecoms agencies having to come out
13:51and make lampposts and telegraph poles safe
13:54because we've got electrical wires hanging out.
13:56The manpower and cost involved is huge.
14:00It's an absolute nightmare when these things happen.
14:03Yeah, I reckon we could do this.
14:09Look.
14:10Yeah.
14:12To me, to you.
14:14I mean, I'm not saying that...
14:17I mean, at the moment, it's just kind of pivoting.
14:21Oh, Stu's doing it on his own.
14:23He's not even heavy.
14:24I think you'll find it would be heavy
14:27if you actually wanted to lift.
14:29Yeah.
14:32I mean, they're big.
14:36Right, let's get recovery for the Audi as well.
14:40Well, I saved his mirror.
14:42Well, I think we're pretty much done for.
14:44It is awful that other people's cars have been damaged.
14:47All these cars, apart from one,
14:49it's certainly going to be a write-off.
14:52Bit of a mess.
14:55None of his documents are in order.
14:57He is a high-risk road user.
14:59It's a full house, really.
15:00No licence, no insurance.
15:02Completely drunk.
15:03Shouldn't be on the road.
15:05It's drink driving.
15:07This is a result.
15:09You drive in excess of the speed limit
15:11under the influence of alcohol.
15:13You're going to have a collision
15:13and quite a severe one, like this one.
15:16It's a messy job.
15:18He's lucky to be alive.
15:24With the Christmas crackdown continuing,
15:32the first two weekends of the campaign
15:34have already led to more than 70 arrests.
15:37Have a look at this car, this seat, Leon.
15:41It's just zipping about a bit.
15:44Excess speed, really, coming out of the city centre.
15:48It's a bit of a strange route it's going.
15:51Traffic cop Jack Pressland
15:53is another officer taking part in the operation.
15:55Mate, 1040.
15:57Drink drivers and drug drivers are dangerous.
16:01They kill people, mainly kill other people.
16:03They don't think about anybody else
16:05other than getting home, getting into the warmth.
16:07It's just a lottery for them.
16:09They get home.
16:09If they don't, they're going to either come to the cells
16:11or potentially go into hospital.
16:13It's extremely dangerous
16:14because one day they will end a life
16:17or end their own life.
16:17Something is telling you to stop that vehicle
16:34and the good old saying is
16:36copper's nose, follow it and you'll get a result.
16:42Vehicle is failing to stop.
16:44I'd like to drive it, take back trains.
16:47Approaching red set traffic lights
16:50on red, DRA temporary high
16:52and it's a left, left, left.
16:58Through another set of red traffic lights,
17:00nearly missed a member of public.
17:02DRA back down to medium.
17:06No conditions are damp.
17:08We are 86 in a 40, DRA medium
17:11towards the city centre.
17:13It only takes him to loose concentration
17:19driving at them sort of speeds
17:20to kill somebody, kill himself,
17:23members of public walking on the street.
17:25It's just so dangerous.
17:27It's through a red traffic light.
17:29Temporary DRA is high.
17:31Safely through.
17:33DRA back down to medium.
17:34Can I have local with Stinger, please?
17:38Cars make off from us all the time
17:39but when they do make off
17:41you're thinking, is this drugs?
17:44Is it a disc wall driver?
17:45Are they impaired?
17:46Is there a weapon?
17:47There's a lot to think about
17:48in a short period of time.
17:49Speed increased to 7-0 in a 3-0.
17:54Through a set of red traffic lights,
17:55DRA temporary high, stand by.
17:58Safely through.
18:00Speed 1-0-0, 7-0.
18:03DRA still medium.
18:06Vehicle straddling both lanes.
18:08Now to lane 2.
18:10Speed 7-0 in a 6-0.
18:12Passing the petrol station to the near side.
18:15I've got hazard lights.
18:17Stand by.
18:19Show me hands now.
18:24Show me hands.
18:25Show me hands.
18:26Get on the floor.
18:27Get on the floor now.
18:31Get behind.
18:35Coming up.
18:36Got one detained.
18:37Drivers in denial.
18:39Mate, you're not in charge in this situation.
18:41You've just drove like an absolute clan.
18:43Now get in the car and do as you're told.
18:46Out of control.
18:47You're weaving all over the road there.
18:49And over the limit.
18:51You know we haven't failed our test.
18:54You've failed our test.
18:56You know it, boss.
18:58Get up.
19:14Get up.
19:15Get up.
19:15Get in there.
19:16You're under arrest.
19:16Dangerous drive.
19:17With more than 70 arrests already made during the first two weekends of a Christmas crackdown on drivers over the limit.
19:26Got one detained.
19:28He's pulled over.
19:29There's a passenger also.
19:31Derbyshire traffic cop Jack Pressland has caught up with a fail to stop driver after a dangerous pursuit across the city.
19:38Get in there.
19:39Get in there.
19:40You're under arrest.
19:41Dangerous drive.
19:42Fail to stop the police.
19:43What was that about?
19:45Panicking.
19:46I don't know what happened to you.
19:47I don't know.
19:48I was panicking.
19:49I don't know what's happened.
19:50I was panicking.
19:51No.
19:52Absolutely stupid.
19:53I was panicking.
19:54I was panicking.
19:55Is it your car?
19:56Yeah.
20:00Got out on you shouldn't have.
20:01Thank you so much for the change.
20:04He's failed to stop and took me on a dangerous pursuit.
20:06I'm not a happy chappy.
20:08He's put my life at risk as well as other people.
20:11Can I sit up?
20:12My arm's hurting.
20:13You can stay like that, mate.
20:14If you just drive like that, you can sit there.
20:17He says he's just panicked and then failed to stop.
20:20And there's clearly more to it than just panicking
20:23to take us around Derby for five minutes or so.
20:26So we'll drug swipe him, breathalise him,
20:28and we'll go from there.
20:29You had a drink tonight?
20:33Got a lot of cash on you, mate.
20:38Are you alright just to take him down to custody for us?
20:40And then I'll follow you down.
20:42Jump out, mate, you're going in this car.
20:43Because you've committed a moving traffic offence
20:45and you're manually driving,
20:47I'm going to require you to provide my specimen breath for analysis, OK?
20:49Blow on that, mate, until I tell you to stop.
20:55Stop.
20:59Right, that's zero.
21:00Two more.
21:01I'm also going to require you to provide me a specimen of saliva
21:03for the purpose of a roadside drugs test.
21:05Are you willing to provide a specimen of saliva?
21:06Yeah.
21:07Good man.
21:08Stick your tongue out.
21:11Open wider.
21:18This takes eight minutes but we'll go to custody.
21:20So that goes flat and then we'll test it and go from there, OK?
21:25Right, jump in this car.
21:27I want to watch it.
21:28You're not watching it.
21:29Mate, you're not in charge in this situation.
21:31You've just drove like an absolute clan.
21:33Now get in the car and do as you're told.
21:35Can I not see...
21:37I don't think he understood fully what offences he was looking at being prosecuted for
21:43and how dangerous the situation was.
21:45Mate, do you have anything in the car or something?
21:47No.
21:48No?
21:49No?
21:50Any weapons, knives, needles?
21:51No, no.
21:52Any drugs, anything like that?
21:53No, no.
21:54OK.
21:55I'll see you in a minute.
21:56He's tested positive for cannabis.
21:58So when he gets to custody, he'll get locked up for over the prescribed limit for cannabis
22:02and we'll go and take some bloods from him.
22:04Regarding the failure of the vehicle, the intel regarding property then,
22:10the car has previously been stopped by police.
22:13So intelligence is a massive key.
22:16It's that missing piece now that we've got of, as he failed to stop, has he got drugs on him?
22:21Why?
22:22What's in this car?
22:23What's he got on him?
22:25Let's game search.
22:26We've got the grounds now.
22:28So there's intel on who we think the driver is, that he could be involved in the supply
22:33of Class A drugs and drugs around the Derby area.
22:36So we found a quantity of cash in the car, a mobile phone.
22:41So it might be that he gets further locked up in the interview.
22:44Concerning the supply of Class A drugs.
22:50Jack arrives at police custody to process the suspect.
22:54As well as giving a blood sample to confirm if he is over the drug driving limit, the man
23:14also faces questions about the drug intelligence and the cash found on him.
23:20The stop is a massive result for the drink drive and drug drive campaign that we've got.
23:24It's potentially a drug dealer off the street, we've took his cash off him, we've disrupted him.
23:29And now, hopefully, once we get the bloods back and the driving offences, he'll lose his licence.
23:46If I have got any traffic units in the area, we have got reports of this male, he's going
23:49to be drink driving.
23:50He is believed to be leaving shortly, if anyone can make the way.
23:53With only two more weekends before Christmas, a total of 140 arrests have now been made during
23:59a crackdown on drink and drug drivers.
24:02Just had a call in about a possible drink driver, so we're just trying to catch up with it now.
24:11Only just left the hotel.
24:15Near Chesterfield, traffic cop Paddy Shambrook is acting on a tip-off from a member of the public.
24:21White Kia Nero.
24:23Almost every force, and certainly Derbyshire, we will run a drink drive campaign in the run-up to Christmas.
24:35One threat.
24:38And that's not just by chance.
24:40That is just because, statistically, the volume of drink drivers that we deal with, unfortunately,
24:46increases even further around the lead-up to that holiday period.
24:50And people just don't seem to learn.
24:55We're just seeing if we can catch up with it.
24:59It may possibly have gone this way.
25:02What's this?
25:14It's all over the road.
25:17Anyone else nearby?
25:20Yeah.
25:23Pretty bad. I'll just put a follow-me on, see if I come into this next parking.
25:31I thought it was going to hit me.
25:35Nick will stop.
25:37Are you all right?
25:38Slippin' door, mate.
25:39Sorry, boss.
25:40Right.
25:41At the moment, you're under arrest on suspicion of driving whilst unfit.
25:49You're weaving all over the road there.
25:52Oh, what, sorry?
25:54Use in front of me.
25:55Yeah.
25:56You're funny.
25:57Right.
25:58Put that, go of that.
25:59I don't need that anymore.
26:00Yeah, any mailing cuffs.
26:02Use in front.
26:03I've got someone just joining me so I can, er, breathalysin'.
26:07All we're going to do, mate, is we'll just do a breathalyser with you in a minute.
26:09My colleague's coming.
26:10Okay.
26:11When was your last alcoholic drink today?
26:14What time do you know?
26:15I don't know.
26:18Well, what does it say on your car?
26:20I don't know.
26:21Two hours ago.
26:22About two hours ago.
26:23All right, okay.
26:25Is it your car?
26:27Company car.
26:28Company car.
26:29Right, okay.
26:30Have you got a driving licence?
26:31Yes.
26:32All right.
26:33Have you got it with you?
26:34It's got my licence, yeah.
26:36Right.
26:37Okay.
26:39All right.
26:41My breath box is just in my door pocket there.
26:44You're not.
26:45Yeah.
26:48Obviously, as you go into the holiday seasons, like Christmas, when people just are partying
26:54more, people are still choosing to make that terrible decision to mix excessive drinking
27:00with driving.
27:03I have reason to suspect you've been drinking.
27:05You've been swerving all over the road.
27:06I require you to provide a roadside sample of breath.
27:09Are you willing to provide one?
27:11Yes.
27:12Okay.
27:13I'll be swerving.
27:14Right, okay.
27:15You almost went into the back of me.
27:16All right.
27:17So, just seal your lips around there and give us a good blow.
27:23Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
27:25Right, that's it.
27:26That's it.
27:28So.
27:29So, there's a fail, so.
27:30All right.
27:31So, at this time, you're under arrest on suspicion of drink driving.
27:32Okay?
27:33All right.
27:34So.
27:35I think every drink driver who's in prison for the consequences of their drink driving,
27:44having been involved in a collision, at some point, will have thought, I'm fine.
27:48I can handle this, and is now just simply contributing to being a statistic.
28:05Paddy takes the suspect into custody for an evidential breath test.
28:10It's not too far.
28:12She's got to go down the motorway.
28:14It's the closest one we can get you to, and get you on the machine.
28:18All right.
28:19So, what are you driving, boss?
28:21The way I'm driving?
28:22Yeah.
28:23Okay.
28:24No concerns on anybody.
28:26Me?
28:27Yeah.
28:28You're not driving properly, man.
28:31So, you explain to me, though, what you've arrested me for.
28:36Yeah, drink driving.
28:37And the way you were driving.
28:38Yeah.
28:39On suspicion of drink driving.
28:40Yeah.
28:41So, all lights on.
28:42I have no lights on.
28:43You haven't?
28:44It's all lights on.
28:47You're doing over 30 mile an hour.
28:49Yeah.
28:50Which will, I will be telling the sergeant.
28:54That's fine.
28:55Yeah, you tell him.
28:56Yeah.
28:57But you will not do the job efficiently.
28:59I will start driving properly.
29:01I will follow up with it.
29:03I want everything I'm saying quoted.
29:07Okay?
29:08So, he's got a lot to say for himself, including some criticism of my driving,
29:13which is interesting coming from the state that he's in.
29:17But I've got a job to do.
29:18I've got to get him into custody safely.
29:20I've passed that test in the area.
29:25I've just been decided to take him to.
29:29No, the breath roadside tests had failed.
29:31So, at that point, you were over the legal limit.
29:35But we need to see what the machine in custody says.
29:38Just go on and shoot.
29:39Yeah.
29:40Yeah.
29:41And laugh in the face.
29:42Okay.
29:43I don't take it personally.
29:45I'm ruining his night.
29:46But obviously, he's put himself in that situation.
30:01And he's going to try and lash out any way he can.
30:06Do you know what I think, you know?
30:09Right.
30:10We started off really well.
30:12Yeah, we did.
30:13And now I'm getting insults for some reason.
30:16For some reason.
30:18I don't tend to rise up and start trying to have arguments with people.
30:23It's Paddy here.
30:24We've just got a drink driver in the dock.
30:27When you're ready.
30:28You know we haven't failed our test.
30:32He's a failed our test.
30:34Oh my god.
30:35As soon as I can help us, they know.
30:38Right.
30:39You know it, you know it, boss.
30:44Are you going to get out?
30:46Yeah, let's jump out.
30:47I'll get out, boss.
30:48All right.
30:50It's fine.
30:51Right.
30:52Oh, what up, mate?
30:53Let's close this door.
30:54Apologies.
30:55Are you all right?
30:56You're good.
30:57You sound, mate?
30:58You sound.
30:59It's all right.
31:00I don't take it personally, mate.
31:01It's all right.
31:02The light light, I'm sorry.
31:04I know.
31:05We've apologised now.
31:06We're a bit up and down, so.
31:07Sergeant, I've had some information that the male of this particular car might be under
31:12the influence of alcohol.
31:13I've caused the vehicle to stop with my blue lights.
31:16And then we've done a roadside breath test procedure, which has come up as a fail on
31:23the device.
31:24It's not given a number.
31:25So, let's not jump ahead.
31:27We haven't got a result yet.
31:28Hey, fella.
31:29Do you want to speak to a solicitor?
31:31Come on.
31:32You can have a solicitor for your charge if you want.
31:35Come on, mate.
31:36Relax.
31:37Come on, solicitor.
31:39We don't like drink drivers.
31:42We don't like drug drivers.
31:44It's a completely and utterly selfish thing to do.
31:47And it's extremely frustrating how often we see it.
31:50And obviously, the build-up's Christmas now.
31:51You know, there's that temptation more and more and more to do it.
31:54And we don't like it.
31:56It says 84.
31:5974.
32:00So, is that double the limit?
32:02That's double the limit.
32:04So, what does 74 mean, boss?
32:0635 and 35 is 70, isn't it?
32:08So, it's just over double the drink driver limit.
32:12Just very grateful to have him off the road because that dual carriageway,
32:15doing a decent speed and just weaving all over the road and across the lanes.
32:25Can't believe he didn't have a crash before we've got to him.
32:28Just frightening.
32:29Just frightening.
32:34Coming up.
32:35Bingo.
32:36Contact, contact on this drink driver.
32:38It's just moved off.
32:39A drink driver with a big problem.
32:42I can smell alcohol on your breath.
32:43You look dazed and you've got alcohol in your car.
32:45Okay.
32:46The gentleman's clearly got a few issues.
32:49We've had an activation for potential DIC.
33:04We've got intel on the vehicle stating this driver regularly drink drives.
33:10As part of the Christmas crackdown, traffic cop Jack Pressland and his colleagues have arrested around 200 drink or drug drivers over three weekends.
33:20We've just had a report of a drink driver.
33:23So we'll make our way down there, see if he's still present and then, if he's not, we'll go towards the home address and see if they're making their way back.
33:30I know of people who think they're a better driver once they've had three or four pints. Unfortunately, they're not. The reactions are slower.
33:39They're potentially going to kill someone one day. It's only a matter of a time.
33:42I think they just need to wake up a little bit and realise that they can't do it anymore.
33:51I think people just chance to look until they get caught.
33:55They're going to get caught one day.
33:57They're either going to get caught when they crash or they write the car off. It's just not worth it.
34:05The suspect has reportedly bought alcohol and is now drinking it in his car.
34:10For a Volvo.
34:13There he is. It's parked up there.
34:19I couldn't see anyone in the car, so we'll give it a little bit and then we'll go and have a look.
34:25Might be topping up.
34:28With no sighting of anyone in the car, Jack calls the person who reported the drink driver.
34:33Hello?
34:34Hiya mate, it's PC Preston from Derbyshire Road's police unit.
34:40You alright, Volvo?
34:41Hiya mate, that Volvo's still parked up, isn't it?
34:44Yes it is, he's in there now.
34:45He's in his car, is he?
34:47Yeah, he is. All windows are fogged up in there.
34:52I'll warn you, sometimes he doesn't leave till 10 o'clock at night mate.
34:56He sits there drinking all that time.
34:58Right.
34:59So, is it a case that he buys his drink from co-op and then just sits there and drinks and drives off?
35:06He'll sit there for hours, three, four hours.
35:09Always having drinks, then he'll take a big passenger seat.
35:12Yeah.
35:13That's about all you can see.
35:14And then he'll often drive off, park outside the pub opposite and go to the chip shop or just go straight home.
35:23He actually right now looks like he's passed out in the driver's seat.
35:28Right, leave it with me.
35:29Cheers mate.
35:31Bye.
35:33I'd rather be out there being proactive.
35:36Sometimes that's part of the parcel of the job.
35:38You've got to do it and the rewards when you do get a result is brilliant.
35:44What's that?
35:45Bingo.
35:49NA 24's out.
35:54Contact, contact on this drink driver.
35:58Try and put compliance stopping shortly.
36:14Mate, turn your engine off.
36:32That's your key.
36:34Jump out of your car, come and take a seat in mine.
36:36I'm fine.
36:39You had a drink mate?
36:42Come and take a seat in my car.
36:43Got out on you shouldn't have.
36:45Oh.
36:47Take a seat in there for us fella.
36:48An 8, 10, 0.
36:49I've got the mail stopped.
36:50Okay, reason I've stopped you fella.
36:51Yup.
36:52I've had information and intelligence to suggest that you might be over the drink drive limit.
37:03Okay?
37:04So, because of that, I can smell alcohol on your breath.
37:05You look dazed and you've got alcohol in your car.
37:06Okay?
37:07I'm going to require you to provide me a specimen of breath for analysis, okay?
37:08Lovely.
37:10Is it your car fella.
37:11Yup.
37:13Good man.
37:14Okay.
37:15It's like blowing up a balloon, right?
37:16Yeah.
37:19Yeah.
37:20Yep.
37:21It's a good idea.
37:22Definitely.
37:23You know, I'm not sure, I'm afraid...
37:25...and I'm sorry.
37:26We've had information and intelligence to suggest that you might be over the drink drive limit.
37:28Okay?
37:29So, because of that, I can smell alcohol on your breath.
37:31You look dazed and you've got alcohol in your car, okay?
37:33I'm going to require you to provide me a specimen of breath for analysis, okay?
37:34Yeah.
37:35Lovely.
37:36Is it your car, fella?
37:37Yeah.
37:38Good man.
37:39I'll hold the machine just keep blowing until I tell you to stop keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going stop
37:44That's it
37:45So what this does it analyzes how much alcohol is in your breath?
37:50Have you had quite a lot can smell it on you?
37:53enough
37:54She failed okay, you've blown 89 the legal limit being 35
37:59So you are under arrest for providing a positive roadside breath sample drink driving so he's blowing quite a lot over
38:05You know it's frustrating
38:07We've all got to abide by the rules and the laws
38:11You being arrested for drink driving or anything for me
38:15No, no, okay, so what happens now take down to Darby custody put on an evidential breath machine
38:21That's where you you're reading matters. Okay
38:23Bear with me
38:30So as you can see gentlemen's clearly got a few issues
38:37skull
38:38Carlsberg special brew
38:40Clear signs of an alcoholic
38:42Someone's need some help
38:44Clearly living at his car
38:46Drinking himself and then sleeping and eating KFC
38:49It's cheap
38:53Strong lager
38:55Which telltale signs of most alcoholics go for because it's cheap and get some drunk quicker
39:01Alcoholics who continue to drive you know you've got an issue you know you're unwell
39:07So why take that risk and hurt somebody else other than yourself you're already hurting yourself by drinking
39:13Get the help try and stop but just don't drink and drive
39:18Of course I'm transporting you on your own just step out to the door mate
39:20I'm just gonna pack you down okay make sure you got nothing on you that you shouldn't have
39:24I don't intend to put handcuffs on you you're gonna be sparring with me
39:28Got no sharp syrup like that have you mate
39:32Struggling at minute mate
39:33Yes
39:34Fair enough
39:34Totally
39:37Try and get you some help for it
39:37I can't even
39:38I can't even
39:40Like I've seen the amount of cans that's in your car is worrying isn't it
39:44Spin round for us buddy
39:49Lovely mate you're gonna be bob on aren't you
39:51Jump in buddy put your seatbelt on for me
39:53Mate if you're struggling at the minute
40:03We'll get you some help yeah when I'll put you some referrals in whatever I can do
40:10Drink drivers repeat themselves constantly
40:13They'll get away with it or try and get away with it daily
40:18Once they've been caught it might stop for a bit but it's that addiction they're always going to go back to
40:23It
40:28Come on fella let's go and get it sorted
40:31Let's just walk to that gate mate
40:41Hey up Jack you're a drink driver
40:43Let's come in and take a seat on that bench for us mate
40:53He's got his own issues which we'll try and address and get him some help
40:59We've got a duty of care of other than prosecuting people but end of the day he could have killed someone tonight
41:06So he's got to protect himself as well as other people protecting them
41:09On average
41:123,000 people are killed or seriously injured each year as a result of drink driving
41:21Personally it makes you feel angry frustrated
41:23You should see his car
41:26The front of it is just covered in cans
41:30You want to tell them your true feelings but you've got a job to do you've got to remain professional
41:34And the main outcome is to get them to court get them prosecuted and get them disqualified and get them off the road
41:40They're out there they're out there to be caught i'm always going to try and capture drink drivers if i know there's one around
41:48There's too many people get killed by drink drivers so if we can stop them before a collision occurs and put that down to a win
41:55That false sense of
41:57Security that people maybe build up themselves because they've got away with drink driving once
42:02Doesn't mean the next day that if they're drink driving that they're going to be safe. It's not a safe
42:08Situation it's what ends up killing people
42:11in this episode
42:13vehicles now excess speed
42:15The driver who failed to stop for stuart smith
42:18It's a crash crash crash crash crash crash crash driver is unconscious
