Short filmTranscript
00:00This is Police Interceptors, and you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:14Ace Pursuit drivers, with air support, and a crack dog unit.
00:24They bring down the bad guys, keep the streets safe, and battle 24-7, in the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:47I just don't know!
00:49This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:53Coming up, a slippery customer in Corby...
00:57Vehicles are crash, crash, crash.
00:59...throws up a few problems.
01:01I'm missing, I'm gonna be sick, please.
01:05A smash, a bash, reveals the stash to the Op Revive team.
01:11Oh, that's quite a piece of grunt.
01:13When suspected burglars bail out, Lucy and Bryn go to work.
01:17Ha, ha, ha, come on!
01:20Ha, ha, ha!
01:22Ha, ha, ha!
01:35It's the last gasp of Monday, and Aaron Griff Griffiths is on the hunt for a silver golf.
01:41Got it, I think.
01:446-1, I might have got it in the Corbyhold village, stand by.
01:49The Golf's been seen previously in another county,
01:52with balaclava-clad figures on board who are suspected of numerous car thefts.
01:58I'm unmarked, very slow driving, stand by.
02:02Griff's in the unmarked Beamer 340,
02:05so anyone in the Golf won't know there's an interceptor on their tail.
02:11How are the occupants?
02:12I think it's two.
02:15And he can direct the cavalry without spooking the suspect.
02:19It's not a way of my presence. We're Cottenham Road out of the old village.
02:25I'm not going to make any attempt to stop it.
02:27We'll wait for TPAC mobiles and other resources.
02:30The plan is to box the Golf and two TPAC units arrive.
02:36I will take over from you, mate.
02:38I'll take a picture in this roundabout.
02:40I've got you.
02:42I'm going to have six squawks.
02:44I've got no belt of my own vehicle on the roundabout.
02:49With James and Lockie taking over as the lead car
02:52and a firearms unit behind them...
02:55I'll find the indication.
02:58And it's right, right, right, against the road.
03:01Griff plans his next move.
03:03I'll just set up and get ahead of it, but I think I can.
03:12As well as being an advanced driver, Griff's stinger-trained,
03:15and he's going to lay down a bed of spikes for the Golf.
03:18Going back towards Turner Road in that direction, anyway.
03:23Trying to get a stinger out, stand by.
03:30It's all about predicting the suspect's route.
03:35At the junction, wait.
03:36But unfortunately, the Golf's driver hasn't read the script.
03:41Vehicle's increased its speed slightly.
03:44Long side.
03:45I'm going to assume it's a bit aware of your presence now.
03:49Yeah, OK, so vehicle is now going to stop.
03:52That way.
03:54That way.
03:54The Golf's taken off, and the pursuit is on.
03:58It's going that way.
03:59Yeah, speed 5-4, and the risk is low, approaching Topley Road.
04:05Wait.
04:06As Griff plays catch-up...
04:07Right, right, right, up Topley Road.
04:14In the lead car, James and Lockie are all over the runaway.
04:19Yeah, speed 5-4, and the risk is low.
04:24The suspect driver's not exactly Lewis Hamilton.
04:28Speed is low, stand by.
04:30And it's left, left, left, Cecil drive.
04:32But the roads are too tight to box him in.
04:35Stinging his tyres is still their best bet, if they can pull it off.
04:39I reckon you don't stop stinging there.
04:43Though who needs tactics when your target's driving is this bad?
04:49Vehicle's here.
04:50Crash, crash, crash.
04:54The passengers legged it, but Lockie goes for the driver.
04:59Right, right.
05:00Out the car, out the car now.
05:01Hey, right.
05:02Who's a bit of a change from your typical boy racer.
05:06Right, right, listen, I get hit, I get hit.
05:09Oh, right.
05:11Right, OK, oh, my God, do you have to do this?
05:14Yes.
05:15It's very good time.
05:16I didn't know what to do.
05:17At this moment of time, you're under the rest of the phone and stop.
05:19Give me either a hand.
05:19Oh, I didn't know if you wanted it.
05:22Sorry.
05:24Phone and stop.
05:25Wait, wait, no, you don't get it.
05:27Wait, please.
05:28Who's that?
05:29Who's that?
05:30What's his name?
05:31He asked me to, no, he asked me to let him in the car.
05:33I don't get it.
05:34What's his name?
05:35I don't know.
05:36Sure you don't.
05:36No, I don't know.
05:38Listen, trust me, please.
05:39I'm actually being serious.
05:40He got, he asked me for help, yeah.
05:43I can let him in the car.
05:44This is my friend's car, please.
05:46This is my friend's car.
05:47I feel sick.
05:48I'm going to be sick.
05:48Wait, please.
05:49You're sick, guys.
05:52Perhaps a car sickness was caused by the low-speed skid.
05:58And while they deal with the driver.
06:00I try.
06:01Griff keeps his eyes peeled for the passenger.
06:04But he's done one in the dark.
06:10He's gone into a field, a play park, on a pedal cycle.
06:15He's long run.
06:17So he heads for the stacked golf.
06:20You OK?
06:20You good?
06:22Yeah, yeah, we're good.
06:23She's in custom just to search the vehicle now.
06:27The intel on the car seems spot on.
06:31Passing to the side.
06:32He's tucked down the side of the seat.
06:38Got a black balaclava.
06:41So we've got balaclavas.
06:43We've got a tool at the moment.
06:45A little bit of cannabis.
06:46Bank card.
06:47So that's just from this front area here at the moment.
06:49So slowly clearing our way through the vehicle.
06:53And see what else we can find.
06:56With cannabis in the car, they're going to do a drugs wipe on the driver.
06:59And they suspect she's under the influence of more than weed.
07:06Her purse down the driver's side.
07:08Sorry?
07:09Her purse down the driver's side.
07:12Got that inside.
07:13OK.
07:14It's a small bag of white powder.
07:17I hope you get some evidence bags.
07:19You might need a few of those.
07:22What's that?
07:28It's a crack, isn't it?
07:32Yeah.
07:33The car is like a dodgy Aladdin's cave.
07:35I think we'll have a fence of weapon in a bag as well.
07:38What's that?
07:38Is that a ball in a sock?
07:39Yeah.
07:40Prison style, isn't it?
07:41That's in her handbag.
07:42I'm guessing a pool ball.
07:45Looking at that, looks like it's the sort of size for a pool ball in a sock.
07:50Lockie's seen most things in his Interceptor career, but not this.
07:5418 years in the job and you hear stories, but I've never come across a pool ball in a sock before.
08:02She's already been arrested for failing to stop.
08:04And the charges are starting to stack up.
08:08You're now being further arrested for dangerous driving.
08:11Driving without insurance.
08:12Driving otherwise in accordance with a license.
08:15Possession of Class A.
08:16Possession of Class B.
08:18And possession of an offensive weapon at this time.
08:21So on the floor, we found this.
08:25Which is, I'd suspect to be crack cocaine.
08:28You see it's quite shiny.
08:30And it's in rock form.
08:31That one's found on the floor there.
08:33Obviously next to the vehicle.
08:34And then inside the purse of the subject that's been arrested.
08:37Got two.
08:38An empty bag.
08:39And a bag that's still got powder form substance, which I'd suspect to be cocaine.
08:45Or could be amphetamine.
08:46And that's been found in the purse.
08:48Still two, three.
08:49You still crack it?
08:51Yeah, a pot with quite a few buds of cannabis in.
08:53The drug's wipe result comes as no surprise.
08:59Cannabis and cocaine.
08:59The young suspect will have plenty to think about during her night in the cells.
09:16And it's a welcome, if slightly unexpected, result for the team.
09:20Really tiny little girl.
09:23Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise.
09:25I think she was surprised to see us as well, judged by her reaction when we first got there and started dragging her out of the car.
09:30The male didn't want to hang around and speak to us, so there's enquiries ongoing as to who he is.
09:34But she's got a lot of questions to answer in the morning.
09:37The driver pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and having no licence or insurance.
09:44She received 12 months' imprisonment, suspended for 24 months and a 12-month driving ban.
09:51No further action was taken with regards to failing to stop, possession of drugs, the offensive weapon or the alleged car thefts.
10:00However, for drug driving, she was banned for a further 20 months.
10:03The passenger is still a wanted man.
10:14Coming up, five men went to mow down a cannabis farm.
10:19They're ready to pretty much harvest up the weeks.
10:22Why, what do you want?
10:22Why, you?
10:23Why, what do you want?
10:24And Lucy's faithful hound, Bryn...
10:26Stay where you are now.
10:28Stay where you are.
10:28You've got me and hold him.
10:30Gets his teeth stuck in.
10:32In one month, English and Welsh police targeted cannabis grows run by organised crime groups, or OCGs.
10:55Nearly 200,000 plants were seized with an estimated street value of between £115 and £130 million.
11:07This is on an industrial level.
11:10Often these cannabis farms not only cause a blight on local communities, but also involve criminals exploiting vulnerable people.
11:18Literally, their whole life is just looking after these cannabis farms.
11:26Intelligence suggests there's cannabis grows at two addresses in Rushton.
11:30The neighbourhood's team are tackling one, and the Operation Revive Unit, including Connor and Brad, are heading to the other.
11:39So, we go in, and we see, obviously, hopefully, lots of rooms of cannabis, one room where they live in, which will probably have a farmer, who's normally an illegal immigrant, or someone who's been exploited inside.
11:56They'll probably be there, so they can be unpredictable, because they get told all sorts of rumours about the police, that when we go in, we'll kill them, or subject them to serious violence, and whatever.
12:05So, they can be very unpredictable.
12:08But it's not only angry farmers the team have to be on their guard for.
12:13We know that the OCGs that use these addresses will sometimes place electric wires so that we can get caught on them, or spikes, needles, trapdoors.
12:23They can get very creative, so, unlike our normal drugs where we run in and get hands on people very quickly, once we're in, we're going to go in a bit slower today and just watch where we're going.
12:35Last year's nationwide crackdown saw Northamptonshire coppers carry out 21 search warrants on suspected weed farms and seize more than 5,000 cannabis plants.
12:48And, though the team can't be sure the intel on this property is accurate, it smells promising.
12:56Yeah.
12:56Stinks of weed.
12:57We'll go to Hooli Bar, then.
12:58Yeah.
12:58They use the Hooli Bar first to remove the glass for their own safety.
13:14Glass cleared.
13:16They unleash the 16-kilo key that unlocks every door.
13:20Although this one's proving a tough nut to crack.
13:31Finally.
13:32Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.
13:35Police!
13:36Police!
13:37They enter with caution in case of booby traps.
13:40I've got Parver out.
13:42Police!
13:44One in the address, gone back inside.
13:46Did you hear that?
13:46Yeah.
13:46Someone inside tried to make a run for it.
13:50Police!
13:51Come to the door!
13:52Police!
13:52But the team has the rear covered and the runaway knows the game is up.
13:56Come to me!
13:56No!
13:57Turn around!
13:58Turn around!
13:59Turn around!
13:59Hands beyond your back!
14:01Hands beyond your back!
14:05Right, at the minute you're detained on the Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.
14:08Adam, upstairs.
14:09Okay.
14:10Come this way.
14:11Police!
14:13This could be the farmer.
14:15And the search is on for any others.
14:18Get that room.
14:18Police!
14:20Show yourself.
14:21Police!
14:21Police, officers, show yourself!
14:22Police!
14:26Right, how do you want to go?
14:27Check that door first.
14:30Check that room.
14:31I'll stay out here.
14:32Doesn't look like there's anyone else home.
14:35Police, show yourself.
14:36But they're still concerned about any nasty surprises.
14:40Don't touch the door handle yet.
14:42Satisfied it's safe, they draw back the curtain on this outfit.
14:49This isn't just a bit of homegrown.
14:53It's fine.
14:56Check that.
14:57And it's not just one room.
14:59We can't.
15:00This whole house has been converted into a sophisticated cannabis farm.
15:08Downstairs is one huge grow in the living room.
15:12On the top floor we've got three bedrooms full of cannabis grows, all mature plants.
15:18And then the loft is also covered.
15:20Well, our forensic photo has been taken of everything.
15:22We'll see some of the plants.
15:25And then we'll put it all for questioning to the chap we've rested downstairs.
15:30And then the cannabis will completely be removed from the property.
15:33They nip this in the bud just in time.
15:37Oh, that's quite a decent grow.
15:39Like, lengthwise, they're ready to pretty much harvest.
15:42A couple of weeks.
15:43They're ready to be going.
15:45It's not.
15:47Very, very shortly.
15:48The property wasn't booby-trapped, but Connors found something else potentially meant for
15:53unexpected visitors.
15:57Big stick.
15:58There's not much to it.
16:01It was down by the side of the bed, so he's obviously kept it there in case someone's
16:03coming in that he doesn't want to have come in.
16:06But today he decided to try and run away instead of beat us over the head with it.
16:12As well as the weapon, they've discovered some revealing documents.
16:16Oh, I like this.
16:17You've got an IS-91.
16:18Detention paperwork.
16:19It seems the suspect is awaiting a decision from immigration on whether he'll be allowed
16:24to stay in the country.
16:26So it looks like he was given paperwork, directing him to stay at a place called the Atrium Hotel.
16:32So it's quite possible that he's been contacted by...
16:36Yeah, well...
16:38Been contacted by other members of the same community and basically been enticed from that
16:45hotel to work in a cannabis farm.
16:47Times 9.50, you're under arrest for cultivation of cannabis.
16:50Don't have to say anything, but may I'm your defence.
16:51Do not mention one question.
16:52Something which you later on in court.
16:53Anything you do say may be given an evidence.
16:55Most of the crop will be destroyed, but a few plants are bagged up for analysis.
16:59So they'll go to drug experts in a different station who will then weigh it, and then they do
17:10various tests and all sorts to work out what they think it weighs and how much it'll be worth.
17:15And then that will then be submitted to the courts, give an idea of how much this operation was worth to him.
17:24Although maths wasn't Connor's favourite subject at school, he's a damp hand at totting up the value of a major weed farm.
17:31If they get like, say, three or four crops in a year, and they're getting 150, 200 plus plants in each one, and it's got a rough street value of a grander plant, you know, you are getting into the millions, you know, it's going over a period of time.
17:47And they won't have just one, they'll have, you know, in a couple of towns in the area, they might have, you know, between five and ten on the go at any one time.
17:57It's a massive operation.
18:02But not everyone will be sharing in the profits, with the farmer likely at the bottom of the pile.
18:08Well, he's already told us that he's coming off a boat from the channel, and that he's been asked, couldn't find work,
18:16so he's potentially being exploited into doing this.
18:19So this is as much as safe about safeguarding him as it is getting this to not be allowed on the street.
18:28The farmer of Weed House pleaded guilty to growing the cannabis, and was sent down for 12 months at His Majesty's pleasure.
18:35A total of 200 plants, with a street value of 140 grand, were destroyed.
18:41The Northamptonshire force has 15 dog handlers, including Lucy Sculthorpe, who's on training duty today, with four-year-old German shepherd Bryn.
18:53Come on.
18:55Doug, where is he?
18:58One of the force's top trackers, Bryn sniffed out a rogues gallery in the line of duty.
19:03But even master crime fighters need regular practice.
19:07Where is he?
19:08Drawing the short straw this morning, and playing a hidden suspect, is Sean, an instructor from the dog unit.
19:17Some suspects, especially those on drink or drugs, think they can take on a police dog.
19:22They quickly learn that they can't.
19:26Oi, you! Get away from the dog!
19:29Get away from me! Stay where you are!
19:30Stay where you are now! Stay where you are!
19:33You've got me and hold him.
19:33Aargh!
19:34Aargh!
19:35Good boy!
19:36Aargh!
19:37Aargh!
19:38Aargh!
19:39Aargh!
19:40Man versus dog is usually a one-sided fight.
19:42Aargh!
19:43It's okay!
19:44Okay! Aargh!
19:45Aargh!
19:46Aargh!
19:47Wins!
19:48Ow!
19:49Aargh!
19:50Good boy!
19:51Yes, good lad.
19:52Good boy!
19:53Most bad guys forego the fists, and make good with their legs.
19:59Oi, you in the bushes! Stay where you are!
20:01I've got the dog! Stay where you are!
20:03Hold him!
20:04Usually with a similar result.
20:08Aargh!
20:09Aargh!
20:10Aargh!
20:11Aargh!
20:12Aargh!
20:13Aargh!
20:14Brin's favourite snack is chicken feet, but he'll make do with some padded arm.
20:18Aargh!
20:19Aargh!
20:20Aargh!
20:21Stop fighting with the dog!
20:24Brin!
20:25Ow!
20:26Good boy!
20:27Training course complete.
20:28Good lad!
20:29Yes!
20:30Clever boy!
20:31Real life action beckons.
20:32Good boy!
20:36It's late night in Wellingborough.
20:38And the dynamic duo are after a pair of suspected burglars failing to stop in a stolen van.
20:44Road conditions are bad.
20:46Visibility is poor.
20:47And the suspect's driving is as ropey as the weather.
20:58Cutting through the rain more than twice the speed limit, he's running on borrowed time.
21:04And the inevitable is just around the corner.
21:07Aargh!
21:08Aargh!
21:09Aargh!
21:10Aargh!
21:11Done boy!
21:12Two men out and running.
21:13Go!
21:14Go!
21:15Go!
21:16As the cavalry rolls in, the runners disappear into the woods.
21:22Go round to Lucy!
21:23Get round to Lucy!
21:25They might have a head start, but Lucy and Brin are up for the challenge.
21:30Are you alright, Luce?
21:32One of them's got reflective clothing on them as well.
21:36Oh mate, trust me.
21:38Brin will find them.
21:39Yeah.
21:40The fleeing suspects will have left scent trails as they clambered through trees and vegetation.
21:45To Brin's fine attuned nose, it's a trail of bad guy breadcrumbs.
21:49And the hunt is on.
21:50Fish, yes.
21:51We're tracking.
21:52Standby.
21:54It's tough going, but a few brambles...
21:56And a bit of water aren't going to stop them.
22:05They emerge from the woods into a field next to some houses, and Lucy updates the team with their progress.
22:13Go on somewhere across the stream.
22:15The woods are housing estate.
22:17My location is on the group of the ALVs.
22:20With a sense of smell 10,000 times more sensitive than a human's, Brin's homing in like a scent-guided missile.
22:28Yep.
22:29Yep.
22:30Yep, we're going.
22:34After 25 minutes of tracking,
22:37Brin follows his nose to a back garden that seems deserted.
22:41Come on.
22:42Come on.
22:46But the dog knows otherwise, and leads Lucy to some garden furniture covered by a tarpaulin.
22:52Lisa, the dog, come out now!
22:54Come out now!
22:55Do you understand?
22:56You'll get bitten by the dog.
22:59Right.
23:00The dog's on the lead.
23:01Come out slowly.
23:04Right.
23:05My colleague's going to come in with no dog.
23:08Under the garden furniture.
23:09Hours of training have paid off, and Brin has his man, who was cowering under the tarp.
23:24Good boy, Brin.
23:26Wait.
23:27Watch him.
23:28The suspect sensibly surrenders, and it looks like Brin will be getting his chicken feet tonight.
23:33Good lad.
23:35Good boy, Brinster.
23:36Clever boy.
23:39Brin's undercover runaway turned out to be the passenger from the van.
23:43He was found guilty of an unrelated offence of causing GBH, and was banged up for two years.
23:49Forensics identified the driver, who pleaded guilty to GBH and dangerous driving.
23:55No action was taken against either of them for burglary or vehicle theft.
24:00A good night's work, and dogged determination.
24:03Coming up.
24:07Good morning.
24:08Can you get out?
24:09No.
24:10You can't get out?
24:11There's no escape for a drink driver.
24:13Hello.
24:14Hello.
24:15And Dave and Callum.
24:1696.
24:18Deal with a bloke in a hurry.
24:21He's being pursued.
24:22Yeah.
24:23All over the shop.
24:37According to the UK government, more than 28,000 people a year are convicted of drink driving.
24:43And the interceptors know only too well that drivers who are over the limit are an unpredictable breed.
24:49Sometimes it can be aggressive.
24:50Obviously we're prepared to deal with that if it is the case.
24:51They don't want to be caught.
24:52I understand that there are no implications of what's going to happen if they do get caught
24:53during driving.
24:54Get people that accept it for what it is and are apologetic and genuinely are a morsel with it.
25:09Unfortunately, we still get dealt with the same way.
25:12We've had people last week that just don't seem to care or understand the issues with it.
25:18But then we see it first hand on the roads what the implications of drink driving can be
25:25and the collisions that can occur because of it.
25:28The wee small hours after Saturday night are prime time for drink drivers.
25:36And as Bomber and Rob make their way to an RTC in Kettering, they have low expectations of what awaits.
25:43There's been a report of a collision whereby a little red Corsa has collided with a BMW.
25:58The caller suspects that the driver of the Corsa might be under the influence of alcohol.
26:02Mary, the female has tried to leave.
26:05That vehicle is wedged under another car so she can't leave.
26:10With the suspected drink driver potentially trying to flee, Bomber's not hanging about.
26:18That's one way.
26:22Oh, Karen's road, yeah. Oh, there she is.
26:27Rob sums up the scene.
26:29Oh dear.
26:33The car's wedged facing the wrong way down a one-way street with the driver at the wheel.
26:40Hello.
26:41Good morning.
26:42Can you get out?
26:43No.
26:44You can't get out?
26:45Right, I don't know.
26:47Hello.
26:48Hello.
26:50What's happened?
26:51Right, so basically I've been here and trying to get into my car.
26:55Right.
26:57And that's happened.
26:59That's it.
27:00That's just happened, does it?
27:01Makes perfect sense.
27:02Why don't you come and join me in the back of my car for the time being?
27:04Okay.
27:05And then we'll start going through getting your car sorted, Joy.
27:07Right in here, Ben.
27:09Where are your keys?
27:10Where are the keys for the car?
27:11Here you go.
27:12Take them.
27:13There you go.
27:14So, go around this side.
27:15The best place for this wobbly suspect...
27:18Watch yourself there.
27:20...is in the back of a police car.
27:24I've got my breath box ready.
27:25Fine.
27:26I was going to say, if you'd have given me a minute, I could have got that out your way.
27:31Having been quite chatty, she's now gone all shy.
27:34Doesn't want to speak to me now.
27:37Interesting.
27:40But the onlookers are happy to talk.
27:44Who's...
27:45Has anyone seen what's happened?
27:47We've all heard it.
27:50According to witnesses, the lady has been trying to reverse her courser out for about 30 minutes.
27:56Bomber does some digging.
27:58What's your name?
28:00Are you joking?
28:01No, what's your name?
28:02Is that a joke?
28:03No.
28:05What is your name?
28:07It's hanging right now.
28:09No one's joking here.
28:10Around 260 people are killed each year as a result of drink driving.
28:15And Bomber is deadly serious.
28:17I suspect that you're...
28:19You've been drinking.
28:20I need you to provide a sample.
28:25If you don't provide one though, you'll be arrested.
28:27You know that, don't you?
28:29Yeah?
28:30Yeah.
28:32Failing to provide without a reasonable excuse is treated as severely as being caught driving over the limit.
28:39What is your name?
28:41Sorry?
28:43Hello?
28:44Failing to talk isn't going to help her either.
28:46Phone to the tube tip, please, until I tell you to stop.
28:49No, thanks.
28:50You're not... you're refusing?
28:51Yeah.
28:52Okay.
28:53You're under arrest on suspicion of failing to provide...
28:55Okay.
28:56For...
28:57A spot sample of breath for analysis.
28:58Okay?
28:59You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioning
29:03something later lying in court.
29:04Anything you do say may be given evidence.
29:07Okay?
29:09Right.
29:10Oh, that was simple.
29:11She's just failed to provide.
29:12Oh, that was simple.
29:13She's just failed to provide.
29:14Oh!
29:15Romeo Papal 14.
29:16Another unit will recover the car.
29:18And Bomber seems to be making some progress.
29:19You...
29:20Okay.
29:21That's nothing wrong.
29:22Well, you have.
29:23You're under arrest now.
29:24What have you got?
29:25For failing to provide a suitable sample.
29:26Okay.
29:27Right.
29:28Jump in the car, please.
29:30Bomber's been on the force for nearly 20 years and has zero tolerance for drinks.
29:33Drivers.
29:34But he's giving her one last chance.
29:35Right.
29:36I can do this again.
29:37Do you want to provide a sample of breath?
29:38You're going to be arrested anyway.
29:39No?
29:40Okay.
29:41Fair enough.
29:42This chatterbox is not a problem.
29:43No.
29:44No.
29:45No.
29:46No.
29:47No.
29:48No.
29:49No.
29:50No.
29:51No.
29:52No.
29:53No.
29:54No.
29:55No.
29:56No.
29:57No.
29:58No.
29:59No.
30:00No.
30:01No.
30:02No.
30:03Firebox is off for a trip to the Nik
30:09to blow on the Evidential Breath Test Machine.
30:12What's your surname?
30:13But there's still a wall of silence.
30:16Come on, then.
30:17We'll go and speak to the skipper.
30:19Sergeant, he's through here.
30:23Perhaps she'll open up to the Sarge.
30:26Same desk?
30:27This one.
30:28This way around?
30:29And we're just going into here.
30:31So if you want to just stand up in front of where this gap is, that'd be ideal.
30:34That's it. I'll do.
30:36I don't have to do this.
30:38You do.
30:38Don't worry.
30:39You do.
30:39No, you absolutely do.
30:41Because it's part of the book and the improved process.
30:42But what's that like?
30:43OK, we'll leave handcuffs on now.
30:46Face the desk and speak to the sergeant.
30:49It's a simple request. Act like an adult.
30:55But it looks like this drink driver doesn't want to turn around.
31:01OK, I require you to provide two specimens of breath for analysis by means of an approved device.
31:09This is really important, OK? You need to listen to this.
31:12I warn you that failure to provide either of these specimens will render you liable to a prosecution.
31:19Do you agree to provide two specimens of breath for analysis?
31:24Has she been saving her breath for the evidential test machine?
31:28So do you agree to provide two specimens of breath for analysis?
31:31Does it look like it?
31:35OK.
31:37Right, that's fine then.
31:38There's no point trying to drag this on longer than it needs to be.
31:44One cell.
31:45Good effort, but not the right one.
31:48We don't know how drunk she is, but I suspect she's going to be well over the drink drive limit.
31:53And so she's been put into the cell.
31:57She'll spend the night there.
31:58Then in the morning, we'll stick an interview on her.
32:01But ultimately, she's going to be charged with failing to provide.
32:04And she'll go to court.
32:05And she'll face a disqualification.
32:08So whether you decide to provide an example or not, she's going to lose her driving licence either way.
32:16So I think so.
32:20Little Miss Silent found her voice and pleaded guilty for failing to provide.
32:24She was banned for 18 months and ordered to pay £439 in fines.
32:28Another major contributor to road accidents in the UK is speeding.
32:39We're at 114, 115.
32:42It not only raises the likelihood of a collision.
32:46Speed 1, 1, 0.
32:47No traffic, no bloodstreams.
32:49It also increases the chances of you being killed or seriously injured as a result.
32:54Our speeds, 1, 3, 0.
32:56And interceptors have little sympathy for the speed demons.
33:03I think it's just selfish, really.
33:05It's a little bit like drink driving, isn't it?
33:07People do it because they think they'll get away with it.
33:11And they think there won't be any consequences.
33:15There's no real need for it, you know.
33:17It's shown that speeding by even like 10, 20 miles an hour
33:23doesn't really make that much difference to your journey time.
33:27So there's no point.
33:28You put yourself and others at quite a lot more risk for not really any benefit.
33:34Interceptor Dave Lee and Callum are in the unmarked XC90
33:48with eyes on a nippy Ford Focus ST line.
33:52He's got my interest because he's right at the chuff of that Beamer
33:56and obviously knowing that he's got no plates, number plates on
34:01might make him think that he can drive like a buffoon.
34:06The tailgating driver has trade plates
34:08which allow those in the motor trade to temporarily drive vehicles
34:12without having to register them.
34:14Actually, if he's delivered that to a customer
34:17if that was my car, I wouldn't be very happy.
34:21And Dave's not happy with the bloke's driving.
34:25Well, I've certainly got 19, blocked at 19.
34:29Look, it's just raring up behind stuff, isn't it?
34:3596.
34:37Exceeding the speed limit was estimated to be a contributory factor
34:40in 27% of UK road deaths last year.
34:45Aggressive driving at these speeds is a recipe for disaster.
34:49He's bullying people out of the way, isn't he?
34:51He is, isn't he?
34:52There's nothing smooth about his driving either.
34:54No, there isn't. It's all very, you know, erratic, isn't it?
34:57He's heading for points on his licence
34:59and it's all been pointless.
35:02You know, look, he's taken off again.
35:04Why? Because the traffic lights are red.
35:08He's being pursued.
35:10Yeah.
35:10All over the shop.
35:13The driver's clearly unaware of the unmarked car tailing him.
35:18So, 70 and a 40.
35:1971.
35:20It's time to pull him over, but there's no need.
35:24There he is.
35:24Oh.
35:24Happy days.
35:26As he's pulled into a dealership, thankfully in one piece.
35:31And the penny's dropped.
35:32Well, as now, because I've put all the blue lights on, so...
35:35Hello, driver.
35:42Hello.
35:43Because I need to speak to you about a traffic offence, I'm going to caution you, so you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned, something which you later will iron in court.
35:51Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
35:54Do you know why I've stopped to speak to you now?
35:56I think, yes.
35:59Why am I talking to you?
36:01Maybe I'm speed fast.
36:05Driving fast or what?
36:07Is that a maybe or are you?
36:09I think so, Cynthia.
36:10You are.
36:11Are you in any rush to get anywhere?
36:13No.
36:13No?
36:14OK.
36:14Have you got your driving licence with you, please?
36:18Speeding at over 66 miles per hour in a 40 could mean six penalty points, and it looks like he's just the wrong side.
36:27So we've got you at 67 miles an hour in a 40.
36:32Yes, sir.
36:33You've also been driving up the backside of everyone else and trying to push them out of the way, bully your way through traffic, swerving in and out of lanes.
36:41I know, just so.
36:44Is this your job?
36:46Possibly not for much longer.
36:49The dealership were equally concerned that obviously this is a customer's car and a bit upset with the way that it was being driven, but that sort of driving is not acceptable.
36:59Whether that's how he normally drives or whether, because there's no number plates on it, there would be no, you know, consequence.
37:07He might feel a bit immune to traffic offences.
37:10I don't know.
37:12But either way, hopefully this might change his manner of driving.
37:16And if it changes it and it makes it a little bit better, then, you know, we've done our job.
37:20So you're free to go and drive safe, OK?
37:23OK, mate, it's solid.
37:25That's OK.
37:26Thank you very much.
37:26All good.
37:27All good.
37:29Speedy was reported for driving without due care and attention.
37:33His fate rests with the criminal justice unit.
37:39Still to come.
37:40See the double yellow lines?
37:42If you want a zigzag line, you can't park on zigzag lines.
37:45No, I'm true.
37:45You wait all episode for a zigzag line offence.
37:48Stay there, I'll give you a bit of paper.
37:50And then two come along in the same story.
37:53He's got some materials.
37:55Can you park on zigzag lines?
37:57I can't park anywhere.
37:57Some of the lesser known highway code rules include fitting a sat-nav to the wrong part
38:15of your windscreen, not sleeping in your car under the influence of alcohol, and beeping
38:21your horn when stationary.
38:24But Michael Halliwell is thinking about rule 191.
38:28Not parking on a zigzag line leading off a pedestrian crossing like the driver of the Hyundai.
38:34And there he is.
38:35The bloke makes a half-hearted dash for it.
38:39Excuse me.
38:39Hello.
38:40But it's not exactly the great escape.
38:44On the pavement, shut your door.
38:46Shut your door.
38:49Come over here.
38:50Right.
38:51You've gone into the shop.
38:52Yes.
38:53My baby, my baby speak, he's, he's, he's hungry.
38:57See the double yellow lines?
38:59You're on a zigzag line.
39:00You can't park on zigzag lines.
39:02Oh, I'm sorry.
39:02The reason you can't park there is to avoid blocking the view of pedestrians using the
39:07crossing.
39:08And Michael leads by example.
39:10Do me a favour.
39:11I want you to drive off the zigzag lines.
39:14Yeah.
39:14Yeah.
39:14I want you to drive, because I don't want to park on zigzag lines.
39:17So if you park down behind that voxel, I'll pull down behind you.
39:20No.
39:21Yes.
39:21Okay, sir.
39:22All right.
39:22Do not drive off, or else you'll be in my bad books.
39:26Michael's top policing peeve is this offence.
39:28So he's got some recommended reading material for the driver, who turns out to be from Romania.
39:36Have you read the highway code?
39:40Why, sir, I'm not speaking.
39:41You have no idea what the highway code is, have you?
39:44Really, if you've come from a foreign country, and you want to drive on our roads, you really
39:48need to be reading the highway code?
39:50And something else you need to drive here?
39:54Insurance.
39:55What insurance have you got on the vehicle?
39:57Sorry?
39:58Do you have any insurance?
39:59Yesterday, I...
40:01My car.
40:03Insurance?
40:04No insurance.
40:05The driver's knowledge of UK road laws...
40:09Is as good as his English, so he phones for some family assistance.
40:15Is that your partner?
40:17My sister, I see.
40:18Your sister?
40:19Yes.
40:19Does she speak English?
40:20Yes, I speak English, yeah.
40:21Hello.
40:22Hello, good afternoon, sir.
40:23What's going on, please?
40:25Hello.
40:26Is it your brother?
40:28Yeah.
40:29Can you let him know that he's going to be reported for driving the vehicle with no insurance?
40:33And also, the vehicle's going to be seized?
40:35Please, sir.
40:36He's going to make the insurance.
40:37Don't do that, sir.
40:38No, no, no, no, we'll be taking the vehicle away.
40:42So, just let him know while I fill in the paperwork.
40:47Michael still needs to caution the driver, but the bloke's sister has had to go.
40:53Anybody else that speaks English that you know?
40:54No, I speak my friend.
40:57Okay.
40:57Other friend.
40:58Luckily, his mate is on hand.
41:00Oh, I want to.
41:02Yeah.
41:03Hello, sir.
41:03Good.
41:03Hello.
41:04How are you?
41:05I have to translate for him.
41:06Nice one.
41:07That's ideal.
41:08So, I'll do it in bits and pieces, all right?
41:11So, he's being reported for the consideration of the question.
41:16Do that bit first.
41:17I don't know.
41:18Okay.
41:19So, he's being reported for the consideration of the question.
41:22What does it mean, Dad?
41:24Do you want me to find it so you can read it to him?
41:27And if you've ever wanted to know what zigzag is in Romanian, pay attention.
41:32The offences are, number one, parking on zigzag lines.
41:37Okay, I'm a couple in Russia.
41:38And no insurance.
41:45All right.
41:46Yeah.
41:46Does he want to make any reply?
41:48No.
41:49I'll ask him.
41:54Okay.
41:54Don't say no for him.
41:56What I'm going to ask him is him, not you, I'm reporting.
41:58There's one more bit of bad news for Michael to deliver.
42:01What's up?
42:03This is for the property that you've taken from the vehicle.
42:07I'm taking the car.
42:08Sir, no, please.
42:09Yeah.
42:10Car has to come with me.
42:11Sir, I need to make the insurance for him.
42:12No, but there's no insurance on the car.
42:14Yes, I make now, sir.
42:16You can't.
42:16I'm talking about and I make the insurance now.
42:18No.
42:18Car comes with me.
42:19That's it.
42:20The car's off to the pound.
42:22Stay there.
42:23I'll give you a bit of paper.
42:26Michael's off to see another dodgy parker.
42:28Driver, pull him behind my police car for me.
42:33It seems this place is a bit of a zig-zag offense hot spot.
42:38I've just dropped some materials.
42:42Yeah, but you parked on zig-zag lines.
42:44I can't park anywhere.
42:45Well, I'd rather you park on double yellers than the zig-zag lines for crossing.
42:49So, stay where you...
42:50You are joking me.
42:52I mean...
42:52Well, yeah.
42:53You're a man of an age that you know what zig-zag lines mean.
42:56You cannot...
42:56No one's parking on zig-zag lines, do they?
42:58Well, however heavy they may be, you don't park on zig-zag lines.
43:02Right, so I've reported this chap for parking on them.
43:04So, unfortunately, you're going to get one, too.
43:06So, stay put until I finish with him.
43:10Michael zigzags from one job.
43:12OK, I'll leave you with it.
43:14Thanks a lot.
43:16To another.
43:17So, when you pulled into park,
43:20did you not see the lovely blue lights of my police car?
43:24Well, I did.
43:24That's why I didn't want to park in the bus slot.
43:27So, I pulled up there just to drop some lead, which is heavy.
43:30I couldn't pull down the other street,
43:32because they were all parked up.
43:34I thought, I'm going to go here.
43:35Yeah, well, a few seconds is too much on zig-zag lines.
43:39But there's no need for a translator this time.
43:42So, you're going to be reported for the consideration of the question
43:44because you're the prosecutor for the one offence
43:46that's parking on the zig-zag lines of a crossing.
43:49You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
43:51Do you want to mention analysis later on in court?
43:53Anything you do say may be a bit of evidence.
43:55Do you want to make any comments?
43:57No.
43:57Not what you're saying.
43:58No, no.
43:59Well, you can say what you like, really.
44:01It's your choice whether you want to say something,
44:03but don't worry about it.
44:04And the moral of the story?
44:06You've only got to look at the highway code.
44:08It says you can't do it.
44:11The man with the ban was reported for parking on a Pelican crossing
44:14and attended a What's Driving Us course.
44:16The Romanian driver went to court
44:19and was convicted of parking on a zig-zag
44:21and driving without insurance.
44:23He was fined a total of £1,322
44:26and received six points on his licence.
44:31There's no excuse to park on zig-zag lines.
44:33Why would you need to park directly outside a shop
44:36and run into the shop and then run back to your car
44:38when you could park 10 metres, 15 metres down the road?
44:40Sorry.
44:42Here I go.
