00:00I
00:14Derbyshire traffic cops. It does have warning markers for potential firearms
00:20Don't do the rest and supply class it's all police a thousand square miles
00:26It's a crash crash you've got any other injury other than your head
00:32With some of the UK's most dangerous roads. I don't know what has been killed out of this. I don't know
00:39It's scary when stuff like this happens in life-and-death situations
00:44Get on the ground you'll be tainted. We've got runners
00:51Yes, yes successful state
00:54Around every corner
00:57Great acting mate
00:59There's a new challenge for the traffic cops
01:15Coming up
01:17God six
01:18The drink tonight at all probably more than I should have to young drivers
01:22We've been through the M.A.T.F.
01:23We've been through the M.A.T.F.
01:24Clicked the near side curve and it's on to the island
01:26Stay where you are
01:28Losing control
01:30Listen, I'm in charge, not you
01:33And repeat offenders
01:35Hang on, I've been arrested
01:37I've been arrested
01:38Drink driving
01:40I've literally had two points on the shanty and that's all I've had
01:43Putting lives in danger
01:45People spinning out of control
01:47We've got an RCC where a vehicle has smashed into three of the parked cars
02:01The offenders left the vehicle but there are a set of house keys in the vehicle
02:04Would it be possible for you to assemble these?
02:07Yeah
02:08I've got an RCC, thank you
02:10I'll put you to
02:10PC Alex's head starting a weekend shift
02:16A peak time for drink drivers
02:19We've got an RTC with a vehicle
02:23Which has crashed into some parked cars
02:27And then the driver's made off
02:29And they've done a runner
02:31Key things which are causing collisions
02:34Alcohol and drugs
02:36Blatantly intoxicated
02:39It affects their judgement
02:41It affects their reactions
02:42And unfortunately there's too many fatals that happen in Derbyshire
02:46Where drink or drugs plays a huge role
02:49Get to the scene and find out how much damage and carnage they've created
02:52It's everybody
02:55There isn't a set type of age range
02:57It's young, it's old
02:59It's male, female
03:02It's across the board
03:04Yeah, that's what it's here, thank you
03:06People are still thinking
03:07It's okay to go out
03:10And take a little journey
03:11When you're absolutely bladded
03:13Or you're higher as a kind
03:14So that's the vehicle there
03:18What vehicle's it cresting to?
03:25A damaged 4x4's been abandoned
03:27And its drivers disappeared
03:29He's hit multiple cars down this road
03:32And then his car's come to a stop just there
03:35I think he's lost control of the car
03:37And that's when he's sort of skirted down the side of the kerb
03:39Scraping those two cars back there
03:42And then come to a rest here
03:44A lot of it will come down to laziness
03:48It's too easy to jump in your van
03:51Or your car
03:52Or your 4x4 from a pub
03:53And just drive home
03:54Rather than organising a taxi
03:56Or getting a mate to come and pick you up
03:58Or a family member
03:58It's just laziness
04:00And he smashed his front wheel off
04:02And then dragged it all the way down this road
04:05Covered tomorrow
04:07We'll send out an NOIP for him
04:09And then he's got to identify the driver
04:11Oscar Foxtrot Sierra 2
04:16Receive it
04:16At Force HQ
04:17Reports are coming in of a high speed pursuit
04:21In neighbouring Nottinghamshire
04:39A suspected young drunk driver
04:41Is failing to stop for officers
04:43So we've just been contacted by Notts
04:49They've got a pursuit coming into our force area
04:52It's heading into Derby at the minute
04:54Chris is just up ahead
04:58Fellow traffic cop Chris Wells-Jackson
05:00About five minutes away
05:02Is also heading towards the Mini
05:04I think jobs like this as well
05:06Just show how important it is
05:07To have quite a few units
05:08In an area together
05:10Because it just means
05:12That if somebody picks something
05:13Or we've got enough resources
05:14To go in the system
05:15There's certain places
05:26That you don't want that vehicle going
05:28Vehicle behind it
05:29The Notts Pursuit vehicle
05:31Is only initial pursuit trained
05:32So obviously with our TPAC training
05:36Gives us a few more tactical options
05:38If we can get behind the vehicle
05:40We do not want that vehicle
05:42Entering the city centre
05:43Their people are milling around
05:46And they've gone out for a drink
05:47So the last thing they want
05:48Is a pursuit
05:49Racing through Derby city centre
05:51At 60-70 miles an hour
05:52Passing chariots to the offside
05:54Continue in to be 115
05:57In a 7-0
05:58We want to put preemptive tactics
06:00To get that vehicle stopped safely
06:02Without causing any damage
06:04We're coming here to the ring road
06:07A5-1-1
06:08More things being thrown out the window
06:11We're just heading into Derby
06:15Now we need to get to the
06:19Ideally bottom of the A52
06:20Because that's the route it's coming in on
06:22So if we can get there
06:25And intercept it
06:26Potentially we can set up a stinger side for it
06:28As Alex races ahead to set a trap
06:31The Mini's travelling
06:37At nearly 100 miles an hour
06:39It's just trying to get us to Derby as quickly as possible
06:51So we can intercept it
06:54And whether that be a stinger
06:56Or join up with Chris further up
07:12Get it boxed in
07:13This continues
07:18I'm trying to get a stinger
07:19So...
07:20Here we see
07:20Point to the red ATS
07:21And we're going to the McDonnell
07:22Temporarily high risk
07:23It's about 5
07:24It's going through the red ATS
07:26Take the near side further
07:28If we want to the Ivan
07:29Take them out of the side
07:30Take sure you're going to decam shortly
07:32Local Nottingham officers make the arrest
07:47You wait there
07:52The dogs come in
07:54So you can get bitten by the dog
07:55Got any description
07:57Nearby
07:58Alex and an armed response unit
08:01Are searching for a runaway passenger
08:03Stay where you are
08:04Come back out now
08:07Walk back out
08:09Coming up
08:10I've been arrested
08:11I've been arrested
08:13Young suspected drunk drivers
08:15Have you got any ID or anything?
08:18You're having a laugh?
08:19Mate I'm a cop
08:20Learning the hard way
08:22Obviously alcohol and the road conditions have played a part
08:25And we just lost it
08:27And repeat offenders
08:30When was your last drink mate?
08:31Breaking more laws
08:33Not long ago
08:33Not long ago
08:35In Derby
08:46Straight through the red ATS
08:48Clipped the near side curb
08:50And it's gone to the Ivan
08:50Taken out the side
08:52Potentially going to decam shortly
08:53After a 12 minute cross border pursuit
08:56Officers have arrested the suspect driver
08:59Coming out of the car
08:59I'm in the back of the car
09:01Stay where you are
09:03Come back out now
09:06Walk back out
09:07While traffic cop Alex Head
09:09And an armed unit hunt down a passenger

09:17Hand behind your back
09:18Hand behind your back
09:19Hands behind your back
09:21With all of the occupants under arrest
09:31The suspect driver is still refusing to cooperate
09:35He's gone to the back

11:39See you sucked that one
11:42I definitely didn't suck it
11:44Right

11:51They'll chat to you in a second
11:52There is some drinking car

12:20That's on the roadside
12:21I know I know I know
12:22It's not me telling you it sucks it's to the machine
12:24I did not suck
12:25Like the last time I didn't suck
12:26£56
12:28So you're further under a suspicion of drink driving as well
12:30Yeah no way
12:31And how many detained have we got?
12:35I think we've got one here potentially one there
12:36Yeah two
12:37I'll drugs wipe them quickly as well
12:39Okay
12:40I'm going to do a drugs wipe on you as well
12:42Test a cocaine and cannabis
12:43From the sounds of the pursuit commentary
12:46They've tucked a load of things out the window
12:47Down the A52
12:48Which are potentially going to be drugs
12:50Just for good measure
12:51You've also tested positive for cannabis
12:53So you're further under a suspicion of section 5A drug driving
12:55Still under caution okay?
12:56No problem
12:57From the sounds of it
12:57They've been in a nightclub in Nottingham
12:59They've got a couple of bottles of spirits in the car
13:01So it sounds like they've had a good night
13:04Which is ended very badly for them
13:06Oh yes
13:07Cognac yes
13:08They said he paid £100 for that
13:10That's a robbery isn't it?
13:11You'll have to crime that
13:12£100
13:12What's that?
13:14A bottle of Hennessy
13:15I'm not being funny
13:15He's not really drank out has he
13:17Let's be right
13:17Yeah
13:18Cognac it
13:19We are going to take our gentleman off to Notts
13:21Thank you for your help
13:22All right
13:23I appreciate it
13:23All right
13:24Good work
13:25The young driver's being taken into custody in Nottingham
13:30For evidential drink and drugs tests
13:32And could now face at least a year's driving ban
13:35And a large fine
13:36From an A traffic unit start making the way please
13:49We've got a report of hip RTC
13:50Appears to be a young lad
13:52Single vehicle
13:52No other details at this time
13:54We've just had our way to Derby
13:58There's been a report of an RTC
14:00So we're going to have a look and see what the score is
14:03With incidents involving the under 25s on the rise
14:06Traffic cops like PC Nick Rice
14:09Are increasingly dealing with young drivers
14:11The informer's not seen it happen
14:13And hasn't seen anybody get out of the vehicle or anything
14:16If it's going to be anywhere
14:17It's going to be somewhere around here
14:19Yeah, got it
14:29It's almost come around to bend too fast
14:32It's on the flyover near the river
14:36Hello
14:44How are you?
14:46Yeah, very kind
14:47Are you injured at all?
14:49No, we're okay
14:50Hello
14:50Both driver and passenger walk away from the smash unharmed
14:55Sorry to be a pain
14:57But have you got any idea or anything
14:59To just
15:00Are you having a laugh?
15:02No, I just
15:02I'm speaking to my mum
15:04Mate, I'm a cop
15:06I know that
15:08I don't mean to be disrespectful
15:09But
15:10You know
15:11I've not been in this situation before
15:13You know
15:13Not like that before
15:15I'm really asking
15:17I'm stopping here to help you
15:19I'm in full uniform and everything
15:21I could probably count on one hand in 16 years
15:26How many times I've been asked to prove that I'm a police officer
15:29While I've been in full uniform
15:31I think it's pretty obvious when I'm in full uniform what I am
15:35Two five
15:35Can you close the over slip?
15:38There's a lot of debris in the road
15:39I take it you just come round too fast and lost it on the
15:44In the wet
15:45Or the ice
15:45Yeah, I should have said
15:46Tell you what
15:48Just come and join me in my car for a couple of minutes
15:49It's a bit warmer in there
15:53I know
15:53Have you had a drink tonight at all?
16:07I have, yeah
16:07How much have you had?
16:09Probably more than I should have to be honest
16:11Okay, alright
16:12Yeah, I can smell it on you mate
16:14So, because I can smell alcohol on you
16:16Yeah
16:17And because you told me you've had a drink
16:18I'm going to require a specimen of breath for analysis, alright?
16:21Yeah
16:22Alright
16:22Just have a puff into that then
16:24Blow into that
16:25Yep, blow into that, yep
16:26Go on, keep going, keep going, keep going
16:29That's it, thank you
16:30So you're blowing 44
16:36Alright, the legal limit's 35
16:38So you're under arrest at the minute
16:40Just got to caution you and tell you
16:41You don't have to say anything
16:42But it may on me defensive if you don't mention
16:43When questioning something you're left to rely on
16:45In court, anything you do so may be given evidence
16:46If there's that suspicion that you know something's gone wrong
16:50It's gone wrong for a reason
16:51It just goes to show that
16:53Even just a little bit over
16:54You know, it can affect your driving
16:56And have the consequences of crashing your car
16:58He's come round the corner there
17:00And he's lost it
17:01And spun out
17:02And hit the barrier somewhere
17:04I was just up there, look
17:06Yeah, I don't think they'd be going too fast
17:09But obviously alcohol and the road conditions have played a part
17:12And he's just lost it
17:14So
17:14Whereabouts do you lift up?
17:18Right, because I've got another officer coming
17:20That can take you home
17:21Nick's taking the male student to Derby Police Station
17:24For an evidential breath test
17:26Am I allowed to call mum?
17:29When we get to custody
17:31You can have somebody notified that you're there
17:34Okay, because she's on her way up
17:36What, from Norwich?
17:37Yeah
17:37Honestly, she doesn't need to be
17:39No, I know
17:40But she will
17:41She's a bit worried
17:42Her and her on her way up
17:44Oh, crikey
17:45Right
17:45You got everything, yeah?
18:04Got him in my car, could smell alcohol
18:07And provided a positive breath test
18:09So he's been arrested for a prompting and effective investigation
18:12I don't mean to be rude or question or anything
18:16But is it alright to just ask a couple of questions?
18:18Yeah, question
18:18Has anyone called mum yet?
18:21Yes
18:21And she answered and was like
18:23Do you know if she's on her way?
18:25She said she's gone away
18:26Yeah
18:27Has anybody spoke to the girl that was in the car?
18:32No
18:32Drink drivers to me are selfish
18:36They don't see beyond their little bubble of what they're doing
18:41And now might you take a seat on that chair
18:44The results of drink drivers who get it wrong
18:49Who have accidents
18:50They change lives
18:54They ruin lives
18:55They take lives
18:56I've seen it countless times
19:02Where lives have been ruined or taken
19:05Because of the selfish acts of drink drivers
19:07Yeah
19:08Am I able to ask a couple more questions?
19:11Yeah, of course
19:11Is it on my own, Sam?
19:14Yes, doing great
19:15Yeah
19:15And I'm allowed to toilet on another blanket as well
19:20Because of my colds
19:21Yeah, of course
19:22If that's alright, thank you
19:23I'll show you how to work everything down here
19:2844 is obviously over the limit
19:30And that will have long lasting implications
19:33I thought on a young lad
19:34Who has been drinking and driving ultimately
19:36This is your en suite
19:38Thank you
19:39That's yours
19:39Can I have a two?
19:42No, Sam, Sam
19:43Coming up
19:44Have you been drunk for drink driving before?
19:47Convicted drunk drivers
19:49Okay
19:50It's a fail
19:52Failing to learn lessons
19:54Are you on bail?
19:55Um, yeah
19:56He's on court bail for drink driving
19:58There is a pub just back there
20:17It's almost like a real ale tap house
20:21Ten miles north of Derby
20:22PC Nick Rice is back on patrol
20:24Looking for motorists over the limit
20:27He might even be a drink driver, you know
20:30He's got no lights on
20:31It's not often you see
20:34Work vans out and about at that time
20:36And generally if they are
20:37You get a suspicion that they might have been to the pub
20:40Straight from work
20:41And then he's pulled into the local takeaway
20:43Which makes me think even more
20:45That he might have, you know
20:46He might have been to the pub
20:48He might have the munchies
20:48Pull it around the corner, mate
20:56I've seen the reg plate
20:58It's clear that it has been altered
21:01How we doing?
21:05Alright
21:06Alright
21:06Yeah
21:06Mate, do you know why I've stopped you?
21:09Number five
21:10Yeah
21:11Do me a favour
21:14Just put your flag out
21:15And just come and join me in my car
21:16I can chat with you then
21:17So what have you done to it then?
21:19I haven't got a pen on me
21:22You just coloured it in?
21:24Yeah, we put tape on it
21:25Right
21:26Or if you look, the black lines
21:29This chap's an electrician
21:30For some reason
21:32Has decided to
21:34Doctor his number plate
21:36To make it read sparky
21:38You want it to read something
21:40Get a personalised plate that resembles it
21:42But you can't go colouring in your number plate
21:44To make it read something that it doesn't
21:46Have you had a drink tonight at all?
21:49I've had a couple
21:49Right, okay
21:50Whilst he's speaking to me
21:52I've got that smell of alcohol off him
21:54So
21:54Come and join me in my car a minute
21:56It moves to the next stage from there
21:58Oh, I
21:59It'll be a few minutes
22:00I'm staying here
22:01Yeah
22:02Yeah, there's not room for you at all
22:03Oh
22:04Oh dear
22:09Right
22:12When did you last have a drink, mate?
22:14Within the last 20 or not?
22:15Probably, yes, mate
22:18Right
22:18And how many have you had?
22:21Two pints
22:22Is that two pints
22:23Or is it
22:24Because a lot of people just say
22:25I've had two pints
22:26Well, they've had more
22:27It is a couple of pints, mate
22:28I can smell alcohol on you
22:30Oh, I know that
22:30Yeah
22:31So, of course, I'm going to require you to provide a
22:32Best spin of breath for analysis
22:33I've got no problem with that, mate
22:35I've just got to go through this with you, alright
22:36Just got to tell you that
22:37Failing to do it or refusing
22:38Is an offence which can be arrested, right?
22:40I'm refusing or failing
22:41Happy to do it?
22:42Yes
22:42Lovely stuff
22:43So, what I'm going to do
22:44You're going to get a ticket for that plate anyway
22:45She can go home, yeah
22:47Can I tell her?
22:48Yeah
22:48You can go home
22:51Pardon?
22:52Just go home
22:53And I'll be home
22:55I'll walk home
22:56From where?
22:58Go home
22:59It can be difficult
23:05Have you done it?
23:08Are you known to us?
23:09Er, very well
23:11Very well, okay
23:12We're not going to have any trouble though, are we?
23:14No, mate
23:14Good
23:14I ain't got a problem with you
23:15Good, good
23:16You've been fair to me
23:17Absolutely
23:18Have you been done for drink driving before?
23:20Er, yeah, about 16, 17 years ago now
23:23Yeah, we're a while off then, right
23:24Yeah
23:25Drink drivers, they're a ticking time bomb, really
23:28They will come to our attention at some point
23:30Might be alright with just two
23:32I doubt it
23:34It affects everybody different, mate
23:36You'll be surprised
23:37Let's have a look, shall we
23:40Everybody says they've had two pints
23:42Some people might have had two pints
23:44But you can tell when somebody's not had two pints
23:46Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
23:48That's it, mate
23:49Lovely
23:49That's it
23:50Let's have a look and see
23:52So it's just testing at the minute
23:54Let's see what we've got
23:55Yeah, mate
23:58You've blown 63
23:59All right
24:00Which
24:01Might be more than two pints on 63
24:04That's quite high
24:05For two pints
24:06Honestly, yeah
24:07I've literally had two pints on the shambly
24:10And that's all I've had
24:11All right
24:11The time now then is 21, 23
24:13And at the minute you're under arrest
24:14For providing a positive broadside breath
24:15That's all right
24:16I would still think that 63
24:18For a chap like him
24:19Is
24:20Definitely more than two pints
24:23Mate, just pop me a scribble
24:25At the bottom of my desk
24:25I'll explain that to you
24:26And then I'll give you a copy of that
24:28That's for the
24:29No, not all over
24:30That's my ticket
24:31Thank you, mate
24:32Well, it does matter
24:34It doesn't
24:35It doesn't allow
24:36The time I do this time
24:37I'll
24:37Put that down there for now
24:39And put it with your property, all right?
24:41I'm not being awkward
24:42Well, you are
24:42You've just done all that
24:43But we're being all right
24:44And then you just started being a bit daft
24:45Mate, I really need to pee
24:48That's all I'm having
24:49Well, that's fine
24:50But there's no need to do with that, is there?
24:51I'll just ask you for a quick signature
24:52Not to scribble a lot of ticket
24:54I'm not being awkward
24:55I really do need to pee
24:57I'm not lying
24:59I don't for one second
25:00I think that you are
25:01You just let Ripley know, please
25:04One on the move
25:04Big down
25:05It's blowing 63
25:08I can do with getting in
25:10You can swing your legs out if you want
25:17It's just really nippy really bad
25:20Yeah, I know
25:20Can I go in that corner?
25:22You can't go in that corner
25:23It's not
25:24I'll just do it here
25:25No, you can't do it there either
25:27I'm going to get us in there as quickly as I can
25:29Yeah, go up there with us
25:31We've got a couple of the counter
25:32Okay
25:33The custody suite is also full
25:35I'm just going to go in there
25:36No, you're not
25:37Yeah, I am
25:38No, you're not
25:39I can't just let you have a slash here
25:41Can I?
25:42Yeah, I'll have one
25:42Can he just come in and use toilet quickly?
25:47Yeah, no, I can't
25:48He's Boston, thanks
25:49Come on
25:49The statistics and experience and jobs that I've gone to tell me that it's not okay to drink drive
25:59And that people have been seriously hurt or killed because of the couple that somebody might have had
26:07Generally when somebody says they've had a couple or two pints, you usually know that it's more than that
26:14Ready?
26:15Flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow, flow
26:23Keep going
26:24Stop
26:24Let's go and get this finalised
26:29The test confirms the man's nearly double the limit.
26:33And he's now looking at losing his licence as a result of his actions there.
26:3958 and 54.
26:40OK, so you've provided us a positive sample,
26:43so I'm going to authorise food detention at police stations for a couple of hours,
26:46like the half I'll ever do somewhat, and then you can be charged with offence.
26:50That's led to him being in the cells and ultimately end up in front of a court
26:55and potentially losing his licence.
26:57Oh, yeah, it's a church.
27:01Oh, yeah, it's a church.
27:03Oh, yeah.
27:04But I do need to have a camera on the show.
27:11Apparently there's a house party around 43.
27:17It's after closing time, and for PC Paul Barker,
27:20it's a chance to catch drunk motorists heading home.
27:24Drink driving is a big problem in the county.
27:27It is getting more prevalent, and we are locking up a lot more people.
27:32A silver BMW travelling in the opposite direction raises suspicion.
27:38When somebody's driving towards you, they're travelling at speed,
27:41it tends to make me think that they've been drinking,
27:44especially late at night.
27:45They've no concept of anybody else's speed,
27:48and no concept of their own speed.
27:50Therefore, I want to have a word with those people.
27:59After a quick U-turn, Paul pulls the BMW driver over.
28:03Hello, is it your car?
28:13Yeah, yeah.
28:14It won't.
28:15Your driving licence, please.
28:18Is the car in your name?
28:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:21Everything's legit.
28:22I know, but what's the speed limit on the road before the roundabout?
28:25Before the roundabout?
28:27Yeah.
28:29I don't know.
28:30Where are you on the road?
28:31Where are you past me?
28:3414?
28:3630.
28:36Have you had a drink at all tonight?
28:37Yeah, I've had a drink.
28:38Just switch off for me, please.
28:41Come and take a seat in my car for two minutes.
28:44Grab a quick breath test.
28:47When was your last drink, mate?
28:48Right.
28:49Not long ago.
28:51Not long ago.
28:52Just sit in the front for me, please.
28:55I've been doing this job for over 35 years now,
28:58and it still surprises me that people will take that risk
29:01and drink and drive.
29:04When you say not long since you've lost alcoholic drink,
29:06are you long?
29:07I think you've got time to come back to you, Dave.
29:10Just take a deep breath and go until three to stop.
29:14Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
29:16Lovely.
29:17Okay.
29:19Okay.
29:21It's a fail.
29:23Okay.
29:24So what's that now?
29:25It means you're under arrest for provoking.
29:27I'll sort all that out for you.
29:29No key.
29:30There's your key.
29:30There's your key there.
29:31I don't know.
29:34I don't know.
29:35Just wait there.
29:36I'm not going to go there.
29:37I'm not going to go there.
29:38No, no.
29:40I'm thinking he might start running.
29:43I'm not the quickest of people.
29:45Just put your hands out for me, please.
29:48Okay.
29:49Bring that down for us.
29:52What I'm going to do is just set you in the back.
29:53Do you need anything out of the car?
29:55I need my medication from home.
29:56Okay.
29:57Okay.
29:57All right.
29:57We'll sort all that out.
30:01Just sit in there for us now.
30:02So you're all blue.
30:0589.
30:06So you're under arrest providing a positive sample of breath.
30:08Okay.
30:09You don't have to say anything about how I'm your defence.
30:11If you don't mention when questions or something, which you'll later land in court, anything you say may be in evidence.
30:15Clearly, see, he'd been drinking a lot and you could just tell by his eyes, you could tell by his demeanour that he'd been drinking a lot.
30:23He just put his car around the corners for us.
30:29Yes, ma'am.
30:29Alex arrives to provide backup.
30:35So what?
30:36Where are we going?
30:37We're going to go to the police station.
30:38Okay.
30:39You're going to take another test.
30:40Mm-hmm.
30:41All right.
30:42You said he'd been at a birthday party.
30:44I think the birthday party's over for him and he might be going to many now where he's driving.
30:50Not for a while anyway.
30:52The man may also be committing other offences.
30:56Are you on bail?
30:59Yeah.
31:01All right.
31:01For breach of breach.
31:06All right.
31:07Are you on curfew?
31:08No.
31:09No.
31:11Yeah, or do you?
31:15Why'd you stop?
31:16Well, you mean you've breached your bail?
31:18He was at court the day before.
31:21He just showed what he thought of the judicial system, that he'd been given bail by court and decided to go out to drink driving straight away.
31:30If I've breached my bail, that means I'm getting remanded.
31:32You're on a curfew?
31:35No.
31:35No? Okay.
31:36Well, if you're not on a curfew, it's not for...
31:38As a repeat offender, another positive breath test means the man could be facing a custodial sentence.
31:44You're all right, I like you.
31:49Yeah, everybody likes me.
31:54If we catch a drink driving for a second time and you're on bail, or you drink driving and you want to just come out for a ban, then the courts will hammer you.
32:04They'll give you a longer sentence and, ultimately, we might decide to keep you in custody to protect the public.
32:10Come on then, let's go to the machine.
32:14Come on, let's go to the machine.
32:16Me?
32:17This is the best method of mine.
32:19Coming next level.
32:20Because I've been doing it a long time.
32:22Really?
32:23Yes.
32:26Unlike a roadside breathalyzer, results from an intoxalyser test are used as evidence in court.
32:32Right.
32:34Again, hold it there.
32:36Deep breath.
32:38Harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder, harder.
32:44Lovely.
32:45I can't breathe.
32:46That's right.
32:46But, Paul, thank you for being, um, like, normal.
32:50Yeah.
32:51I want to be normal with you, mate.
32:53What have I blew?
32:54You've blown.
32:55The lowest one's 83.
32:59Yeah.
33:00Hold on.
33:01From what he blew at the roadside and in the station,
33:04I couldn't say how much he had to drink,
33:06but he was quite a fit bloke.
33:08He was an instructor in martial arts.
33:11Therefore, that affects your metabolism as well.
33:13I don't know how much he'd drunk,
33:15but his readings showed that he'd had a lot.
33:20See ya.
33:21He wants a blanket as well.
33:31Had a look on his previous,
33:35and he was in court yesterday
33:38for the same offence of drink driving.
33:43Looking at the result of that,
33:45he was bailed from there
33:47after pleading not guilty for trial
33:49at the end of this month.
33:51So, he's obviously been to court for the same offence
33:54and has then gone on to commit the same offence today.
33:58Right.
33:59So, with that in mind,
34:01we can remand him in custody.
34:03Thank you very much.
34:04The only way to stop him is to lock him up
34:06and remand him into the magistrates,
34:08because he's going to carry on drink driving
34:10and it's proved that he will do,
34:12because he's already on court bail for drink driving.
34:16So, therefore, we'll keep him till tomorrow
34:19and let the magistrates decide what they're going to do.
34:22Thank you. See ya.
34:24Coming up...
34:25So, you're under arrest
34:26providing a positive sample address.
34:28The end of a long night shift.
34:30Listen, I'm in charge, not you.
34:32Okay?
34:33Another party-goer faces the music.
34:35My daughter is at home.
34:37So, you've left her on her own, have you?
34:39Well, I might have to speak to social services about it then.
34:41I'll get there.
34:54This is really tight.
34:57Nearing the end of his night shift.
34:59PC Paul Barker Is looking out for drunk drivers.
35:02When somebody's driving towards you, flashing the lights, when there's no reason to flash
35:09the lights, it tends to make me think that they've been drinking.
35:32Hello, in a rush? Right, well when you passed me, you were flashing your lights at me, you were going, it was, yeah it was you, I know it was you, okay, have you had a drink at all tonight, have you had a drink at all tonight, one and a half, just switch your engine off for me please.
36:00I could tell when I stopped her that she'd been drinking and that the driving was impaired.
36:06Take a deep breath and blow until I tell you to stop, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, lovely, thank you.
36:12Drink affects people in different ways, it all depends on your size, it depends on how much you've eaten, what you've had with your drink, whether you've had a mixer or anything like that.
36:20Okay, you're providing a positive sample of breath, it's positive, just step out for me please.
36:29Okay, so you're under arrest, providing a positive sample of breath, you don't have to say anything, I'm your defence.
36:36Can I speak to you in a minute? Can I speak to you in a minute? Yeah, I know, no I'm not going to argue with you.
36:41Just put your hand over here. Can I just tell you something?
36:44Yeah, you can tell me whatever you want in a second. Yeah.
36:47Okay. So you don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence.
36:51Right, no, this is something that I need to do.
36:53Something which you later rely on in court and if you do say maybe the evidence. Right.
36:57The necessity is for you to be prompting effective investigation and to stop you disappearing, okay?
37:03No, I'm not going to disappear. Listen, there's something I need to do.
37:05What?
37:06Can I sit in my car?
37:07No, you have to sit in my car now.
37:09Yeah, but my bag's in there.
37:10I'm going to get your bag. Listen, I'm in charge, not you, okay?
37:15You drink driving. You're well over the... You're wrecked.
37:18I didn't say... Listen, my bag's in the car. My bag's in the car.
37:20Sit in there.
37:21Sit in there.
37:27Let me put the seatbelt on, people.
37:28I don't need the seatbelt on. Can you get in the car so I can tell you all?
37:31You will do as you're told.
37:32Yeah, I'm going to do as I'm told, but can you get in the car so I can tell you all?
37:40N8, hang on, two.
37:41Excuse me! Excuse me!
37:43Excuse me, come here.
37:50Can I talk to you, please?
37:51Put your seatbelt on and put that back on.
37:53Can I talk to you a minute?
37:54I'm not messing about here.
37:55I didn't say you was messing about.
37:56Right.
37:57You are going to end up in a cell, okay?
37:59You carry on.
38:00I'm not messing about with you.
38:01Put that back on.
38:02Can I talk to you, please?
38:03No.
38:04Yeah, but I need to talk to you.
38:05Don't be horrible to me.
38:06About what?
38:07Please don't be horrible to me.
38:08About what?
38:09What do you want to talk about?
38:10No, listen.
38:11I'm just asking nicely.
38:13I'm not going to cause any argument.
38:15Go ahead.
38:16What?
38:17Go on.
38:18My daughter is at home.
38:19Yeah.
38:20She's 12 years old.
38:21Yeah.
38:22And I just want to make sure my dad can go there and see me well.
38:25Yeah, well...
38:26So you've left her on her own, have you?
38:28She's 12 years old.
38:29She's very mature.
38:30Right.
38:31It's not a problem.
38:32I've left her at home before.
38:33Okay.
38:34I would like to contact her to let her know what is going on so she doesn't get scared
38:37in the morning.
38:38Right.
38:39Okay.
38:40Well, you can do that at the police station.
38:41You're not doing it now.
38:42You can do it at the police station.
38:43I'm not...
38:44You're not demanding stuff.
38:46I'm telling you what's happening.
38:47I'm not demanding.
38:48I'm not demanding that.
38:49Okay.
38:50You'll be able to phone her at the police station.
38:51But I...
38:52I don't know.
38:53No.
38:54I've just told you.
38:55No.
38:56If you've left your daughter, a 12 year old, on her own all night, then I think I might
39:00leave...
39:01I don't know.
39:02Okay.
39:03Well, I might have to speak to social services about it then.
39:04Yeah, that's fine.
39:05Okay.
39:06That's perfectly timed because, do you know what?
39:07I haven't been a problem.
39:08Eh?
39:09I haven't been a problem.
39:10No.
39:11No.
39:12The problem is you drink driving.
39:13No.
39:14That's your problem.
39:15You're speeding in the fog.
39:16Okay.
39:18I had a drink.
39:19I had one drink.
39:20You've blown 54.
39:21I couldn't have blown 54.
39:22Well, we'll see when we get to the police station if you have another test.
39:25Watch your leg.
39:26And don't open the door again.
39:30The legal drink drive limit is 35.
39:37Right.
39:38Okay.
39:39You can explain all that to the custody officer when we get two into the custody suite that
39:44you've left your daughter on her own.
39:48The driver's main focus was the fact that she didn't think she'd done anything wrong.
39:52She couldn't accept that she'd been drinking and driving.
40:01And then it was all on us because we were stopping her getting home to a child.
40:06When in fact it was down to nobody's made a drink.
40:09And certainly nobody made a drive.
40:11Listen.
40:12I want to speak.
40:13I want to make my phone call.
40:14Until then I'm not speaking.
40:15You've got what you need in front of you.
40:17You're not necessarily going to get a phone call?
40:19That's fine.
40:20That's cool.
40:21Where are you going?
40:22I just want to make my phone call.
40:25Right.
40:26No comment.
40:27No comment.
40:28No comment.
40:29Are you working at the moment?
40:30No comment.
40:31So I'm going to walk through our board's attention here.
40:33Tell us to be secure and for your resident.
40:34We'll go through a little procedure with you here where you'll be able to provide an
40:35evidential sample of breath on our machine here.
40:36It depends on that reason.
40:37It will depend on what you're following that.
40:38Okay?
40:39I've no respect whatsoever for drink drivers.
40:54They deserve everything they get.
40:56You drink and drive, you put yourself and you put everybody else at risk.
40:59And you don't care for anybody else apart from yourself.
41:02Come in here if I'm pleased.
41:04Take a seat on that.
41:05Drink drive suspects are required to undergo another breath test in custody.
41:10So when I tell you to do so, relax, take a deep breath, place a mouthpiece in your mouth
41:14and make a good feel around it with your lips.
41:16If this reading is also over the limit, the woman faces a minimum one year driving ban.
41:21Take a deep breath.
41:22As well as a fine.
41:23Blow till I tell you to stop.
41:24Blow.
41:25Harder, harder, harder.
41:26No.
41:27People try and cheat the breath test by blowing down the side of the tube.
41:30Not blowing it off.
41:31Sucking.
41:32It doesn't work.
41:34How hard do I have to blow?
41:35Like blowing up a balloon.
41:37Okay.
41:38The machine's a lot more intelligent than these drink drivers and it can work out.
41:42You're trying to cheat it.
41:43Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going,
41:46keep going, keep going.
41:47I can't.
41:48I'm so small.
41:49I've got small lungs.
41:50Right.
41:51You might get one more chance.
41:53Otherwise you're going to be charged with feeling to provide.
41:55Well I might as well get charged with feeling to provide then because I can't do it.
41:59You're not filling your lungs up that's why.
42:00So what?
42:01So I don't think it's going to, you're going to have another chance.
42:06Nope.
42:07Out of time.
42:09The drink drive legislation is the most tested legislation I think we've got to make sure
42:14that people can't get off with drink driving.
42:16If you fail to provide your sample of breath, the machine times out.
42:21Which means it's a fail to provide where the courts don't look at it very lightly.
42:27And they tend to disqualify for a bit longer than if you're just over the limit.
42:32Failed to provide.
42:35Come on then.
42:36Come on then.
42:37C7, er, S7.
42:39People still believe that they'll get away with it.
42:42They'll take that chance just because they don't want to walk home and they don't want
42:45to get a taxi.
42:46There's a buzzer butt on the side there.
42:48You might get away with it today.
42:50Next week you might hit somebody and kill someone.
42:54So, don't do it.
42:56Because you'll remember every single day what you've done.
43:00Don't do it.
43:01That's the simple thing.
43:02Don't drink and drive.
43:05In this episode...
43:06Smashed his front wheel off.
43:09And then dragged it all the way down this road.
43:11The owner of a 4x4 that was abandoned after colliding with parked cars
43:15received six points and a £440 fine.
43:20Following a high speed pursuit into Derby city centre...

43:31He was jailed for nine months and banned from the roads for two years and four months.

43:48Yes.
43:49He was banned from the roads for 12 months and fined £300.
43:55When was your last drink mate?
43:56That...

43:59Not long ago.
44:00The driver out on bail, arrested for the same offence twice in 24 hours,
44:05received an eight-week suspended sentence and was disqualified from driving for three years.
44:11No, not all over it, that's my ticket!
44:16The electrician was disqualified from driving for 12 months and fined £120.
44:24And the mum caught driving over the limit on her way back home to her child.
44:28So you've left her on her own, have you?
44:30Was fined over £250 and banned for three years.
44:34No comment.
44:35She was also issued with a public protection notice and is due to meet with a safeguarding team.
