Transcript
00:01Scott straight to the red line.
00:04Damage.
00:05Damage.
00:06Don't do that!
00:07Stay still!
00:08Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:10It does have warning markers for potential firearms.
00:15Stand over!
00:16You under arrest.
00:17Intent supply class is a drug.
00:19Police a thousand square miles.
00:23It's a crash, crash.
00:25You got any other injury other than your head?
00:27With some of the UK's most dangerous roads.
00:30Oh, no one's been killed out of this.
00:32I don't know.
00:33Do you know how fast you were going?
00:34It's scary when stuff like this happens.
00:36In life and death situations.
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be chasing!
00:41We've got runners.
00:43Face down.
00:45Yes, yes, successful stick.
00:49Around every corner.
00:51Great acting, mate.
00:54There's a new challenge for the traffic cops.
00:57They're part of the vehicle now!
01:00I'm going home.
01:01David!
01:02Stop grabbing me like that!
01:06It's crash, crash, crash!
01:10Coming up.
01:12Get mails out and running.
01:13Standby.
01:14Police cameras.
01:16It's quite disturbing intelligence.
01:17We cannot let this vehicle leave Derbyshire.
01:21Identifying criminals.
01:22See, your brother from another mother has got the same date of birth as you.
01:25And high-tech intel.
01:29If you're spitting my face, you're on the floor.
01:32Leading to arrests.
01:33Get out!
01:34Get out of the car!
01:35We've got two stolen vans.
01:36There's a strong smell of cannabis in there.
01:38Get in there, drop.
01:474-3 still receiving.
01:49I've gone back to the seventh.
01:51There was one hit, which is a Hampshire camera.
01:54There's been no hits until today.
01:55It starts hitting cameras at 13.09 in Derbyshire.
02:00Every day, 16 million number plates are read.
02:04Comes out Lester than West Mids.
02:08By a UK-wide network of traffic cameras.
02:12Last hit was 2107.
02:14Helping police identify offenders.
02:26From an eight-to-wall units monitoring this channel, we've just had a hit for a vehicle.
02:30Stand by for details.
02:31I don't know if it's further down there or here.
02:34I'll pull up down here and I'll have a look.
02:37PC Andy Swift's being directed by control towards an illegal van.
02:42The vehicle you're after, it's showing us driver disqualified.
02:46No insurance.
02:48So, we've just got some of the units to come into the area.
02:51Trying, obviously, to get this vehicle accepted and stop it one way or the other.
02:55So, I'm just going to sit up here and hopefully, we'll be able to get it stopped.
03:00Something's going in a certain direction, so you can obviously plan and prepare for it.
03:04And you've got a bit of time to sort of try and deal with the situation and get things in place.
03:10This vehicle is a blue transit van with go-fast and white stripes down it.
03:14So, if it decides to make off, it'll be a bit of a task.
03:17Because, obviously, it's a big vehicle.
03:18Not way much, it's just a big vehicle, that's all.
03:24Dan, I'm just going to have to see if I can find a spot for a stinger, mate.
03:26It's too wide a road where I am.
03:31Roger.
03:34Swifty, give me a point, please, mate.
03:39There's going to be nowhere suitable, mate, for me to do a stinger.
03:41It's too wide a road.
03:44Just done it, mate.
03:45Andy and other units are moving into position.
03:48Received.
03:49Ahead of the van.
03:50No starting of it yet, mate.
03:54It's just going to hit up the return Camry.
03:56So, I expect to hit up in the next minute.
03:58You're a bit unsure with disqualified drivers, whether they're going to stop or not.
04:04You're just in the back of your mind, you sometimes think,
04:06well, is this person going to cause damage to our police vehicles
04:09or even cause damage to other people's vehicles?
04:11Just try and get away.
04:13All right. Contact, contact.
04:15One for cover.
04:17To the right-hand way.
04:18There's a single male occupant.
04:31Towards the right-hand-down.
04:34And one behind you, mate.
04:38Where are you, Jack?
04:41We'll follow it.
04:42Three traffic cop units are tailing the suspect, right, right, right.
05:02If we're going to struggle for the time, given the speed bumps and the number of junctions,
05:08we're still being driven normally at this time, speed 25.
05:12It's a bizarre way to go, mate, this is.
05:16Yeah, I'm suggesting I didn't take on because you haven't got an opportunity to put it on.
05:22And we've got a left.
05:23So we're going back up the hill.
05:27I should be able to cut him off, mate, potentially go head on with him.
05:33Have you turned right yet?
05:34Sorry, sorry.
05:45Hello, vehicle is based off. It's currently off-road. Stand by, stand by.
05:48Let's go down the hill, down the hill.
05:53Let's go down the hill, down the hill.
05:56Let's go down the hill.
06:03Let's go down the hill.
06:08He's gone down the hill, down the hill
06:21He's down the hill, he's down the hill, he's wearing all black, taking left left left
06:30Get on the ground now
06:33Get on the ground you'll be tasing, get on the ground
06:35Get on the ground
06:49Can't you back then?
06:59So my friend, what have you done that?
07:01What, can you disc well?
07:03Yeah, that's true
07:05So my friend, this time you're under arrest for driving back to your care and attention
07:07Yeah
07:09You're under arrest for driving back to your care and attention
07:11Failing to stop
07:13And for driving back to your care and attention
07:17I don't think they actually care about other members of the public
07:19I think in their mind they're just thinking I just need to get away
07:21Because they don't want to be caught
07:23Is it your van or have you nicked it?
07:25Is it your van or have you nicked it?
07:27No, it's mine
07:28Your van
07:29So is it because you're disqualified then?
07:31That's what you've got a van for, isn't it?
07:33Yeah
07:34Why'd you crash your van? Why don't you stop?
07:36I don't know
07:38That'll be road top now, wouldn't it?
07:40I don't know
07:42How did you get in front of this?
07:44Because I wanted to cut him off
07:45Well, I know what area, wouldn't I?
07:46Yeah, right
07:47You've been here for years, haven't I?
07:48Very good
07:49Come on then, you're burned up
07:50You know what the best part about it is?
07:52If you just stopped, we're docked at the roadside
07:54If you can't stop now, we'll be remanded to the court tomorrow morning
07:57Probably to prison
07:58Why don't you just stop?
08:00Good, you
08:01Come on then, pal
08:05Oh dear
08:10I tell you pal, when you went down that alley there
08:12I know that alley
08:13I've chased many a drug dealer down there
08:16It ain't very wide down there
08:18When I thought you were going down that van
08:19I thought it's not going in one way this is
08:22Oh dear
08:23He's failed to stop because he's disqualified
08:25He doesn't want us to try and get away
08:26He knows he shouldn't be driving
08:27If he'd have stopped
08:28And he'd have his day in court in a couple months' time
08:30But now
08:31Obviously when he's tried to get away
08:32He's obviously failed to stop for a very short amount of time
08:34And crashed into this tree
08:36I don't know if he's not damaged their fence
08:38That'd be criminal damage he'll get done for at all
08:40He'll be obviously taken to custody
08:42But he'll most likely be remanded overnight
08:43And I'll be in court tomorrow morning
08:45Probably sent to prison
08:47So
08:48A good result in one way
08:49But he's just made it a bit worse for himself really
08:51Pot you send in there
08:52Swing your send in
08:53Couple of my colleagues are going to
08:55Like that?
08:57He'll most likely just be charged
08:58I doubt he'll be interviewed
08:59It's all police evidence
09:01And he's been caught red-handed
09:02So
09:03Oh no, not a bad result
09:04No one injured, no damage
09:05Bit of damage to his own vehicle
09:07We'll go
09:09Right
09:10Come on, tea and medals
09:11Coming up
09:15Get out
09:16Get out
09:17Get out of the car
09:18Traffic cameras tracking criminals
09:19It's got a large amount of money on them
09:21There's a strong smell of cannabis in there
09:23Helping officers to protect lives
09:26Quite disturbing intelligence
09:27It's quite disturbing intelligence
09:28We're under arrest on suspicion of a child
09:30Sexual exploitation, okay?
09:31I'll clean this filthy windscreen
09:32Traffic cop Matt Cork is heading out on patrol
09:48Officers like Matt use a national network of number plate reading cameras to identify criminals and illegal drivers
10:02Recently there's been developments in the technology used around AMPR
10:06They're obviously of vital importance
10:08They're a really, really useful tool to the roads policing unit
10:12It enables us to hold up and tell pictures around criminality and criminals
10:16And I joined this job to catch bad guys, to catch bad people
10:19From an A to all units monitoring this channel, we've just had an AMPR hit for a vehicle
10:26Standby for details
10:27It's going up now
10:32Not bad
10:34Information from knots of a vehicle passing through the county
10:40It's quite disturbing intelligence
10:43And the understanding is that the vehicle is being used to transport
10:48A female
10:50And this female is being transported for
10:55Child sex offences
11:00Five miles ahead of Matt
11:03Officers from two forces are tailing the suspect car
11:07It's knocked in behind it
11:10I'd be naive to think that it never happens anywhere
11:15But I was certainly surprised when information came in to suggest that this innocent child might be being trafficked by somebody known to them
11:27We cannot let this vehicle leave in Derbyshire
11:30And this child needs safeguarding
11:33I've all on subject vehicle
11:36If we make three of them all
11:38Obviously not made any of them
11:40We've got a girl who's not going to be able to defend herself against an adult
11:48The risks can't really get much higher than this
11:55Still in here
11:58Lane four is flowing
12:03Lane one to three is locked currently
12:06Vehicle stop lane two of four
12:11No contact no damage
12:13We've got driver secured
12:28We've got a young girl secured from the car
12:30And trying to ascertain what's happening
12:33A male suspect's being held at a service station
12:47Along with the young girl
12:49We've got the vehicle stopped
12:51The adult was being spoken to by officers
12:55Have we had any details off him yet?
12:57Yeah, I've got all of you
12:58Nice one dude
12:59So it was trying to establish the facts really
13:02Because the information at that point was sort of a bit hit and miss
13:06That's the details he's provided
13:12Has he said who she is to it?
13:14Daughter
13:15Right, okay
13:16As we've been taken out of the car she's been screaming daddy, daddy, daddy as well so
13:19Doesn't mean it's not happening though
13:21No
13:22Yeah, no
13:23So have we got little and in traffic car?
13:26I think Joe Sargent's just trying to get through to boss
13:31But I think ultimately we're going to look at taking young and into protection
13:38It was clear that the child was unsurprisingly quite scared of the situation that she'd found herself in
13:45While we wait for daddy to finish speaking to the other officers
13:50Can I get you a drink or anything like that?
13:52Do you want a bottle of pop or some water?
13:54No
13:55We're just having a quick chat with your dad
13:58He's okay, he's safe
14:00Just trying to talk to him and check that everything's alright with the car
14:04And everything's alright with you
14:06Hello
14:07Don't need
14:08You don't need to be scared
14:09He'll be back soon
14:10You can tell that she's petrified
14:13She doesn't really understand what's going on
14:16Where are your shoes?
14:18In the car
14:19Okay
14:20Priority being making this
14:23Making this child feel safe and more comfortable in the situation they've found themselves in
14:29But at the same time we still need to ascertain what details we can from this child
14:34Where were you and daddy off today then?
14:37Some people need help
14:39Two people need help
14:41What do they need help with?
14:43Daddy works with them
14:44And what do they do?
14:46They do massages
14:48They both do massages at their massage shop, do they?
14:51So you were driving from your house to help them?
14:55Right, okay
14:56Does daddy help them out lots?
14:58Yeah
14:59There's something not right about it at all
15:05No
15:06Something a bit weird about it
15:07Mum's at work
15:08Dad's a driver, that's what he does
15:09He just drives
15:10I think, yeah
15:11There's probably more to it from what they've just told me
15:13Yeah
15:15Right buddy, listen to me
15:16At the minute you're under arrest on suspicion of child sexual exploitation, okay?
15:20You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention one question
15:24Something which you later rely on in court
15:25Anything you do say may be given in evidence
15:27The necessity for your arrest is for prompting an effective investigation
15:31And to protect a vulnerable person, okay?
15:36So what's going to happen is
15:37So that we can hear ourselves
15:39Because again, the lorries and the road is really noisy isn't it?
15:42We're going to go down to the local police station
15:44Which isn't far from here
15:46Where rather than having to just get stuck in the back of a car like this while we talk
15:49We'll be able to have a lot of room with some seats and bits like that
15:53Daddy will go down to the police station as well
15:55And we'll have a quick chat with Daddy
15:59And we'll just figure things out from there alright
16:01What are you eating anyway?
16:02It looks very blue
16:04I think
16:06This car here is going to be your carriage
16:09I'll get my
16:11Colleague to just grab some shoes
16:13Are these your Crocs?
16:20You didn't tell me they were Crocs
16:22Where's the lights on the front?
16:24I'd have lights on the front of them
16:26Not in sport mode?
16:28No, you slip them on though
16:30Thank you Sergeant
16:32Nice one, cheers
16:33We've taken the girl into police protection
16:40She's gone to the nearest police station to sort of be cared for there
16:45Where we'll get specialist units to come and have a chat with her
16:49And the driver, the male driver has been taken to Ripley police station
16:55Having been arrested on suspicion of child sexual exploitation
16:58Across the UK there are 11,000 ANPR cameras
17:06It has come down from GMP into West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire
17:13Monitoring vehicle movements and feeding plate numbers into a shared national database
17:18Bill, thank you very much, I'll let the team know
17:34In central Derby, Matt's back on patrol
17:38Attention, due diligence, no insurance
17:45Code 2 please, Derby
17:48His onboard cameras identified a suspect car
17:52The Voxel's affair in beige, no reports on it, no insurance, do not help
17:582-4, he knows it
18:00Matt signals to the driver to pull over
18:13The reason I've stopped you, have you got any insurance?
18:27Can I have a look?
18:29Insurance for you to drive this car?
18:32To be honest with you, I don't make insurance
18:35I don't know how to make insurance
18:37Okay
18:38Somebody make it for me
18:39Okay
18:40Have you got a driving licence?
18:41Yep
18:42Can I have a look at that?
18:50Just pop these on top of the car
18:53What sort of driving licence have you got?
18:55Romanian
18:56Romanian one?
18:57My information here says that you don't have a driving licence
18:59So you don't have to say anything, but it may have to say anything
19:01But it may have to be defensive if you don't mention now
19:02Something which you later are lying in court
19:04Anything you do say may be given in evidence
19:06Matt's accessing the police national computers driver and vehicle database
19:11It's not English licence?
19:12No
19:13No, I get that
19:14It's a Romanian one
19:15But unless I can see it
19:16I don't know that you've even got one, do I?
19:19You could just tell me
19:20Yeah, I've got a Romanian one
19:21But it won't show up on my system
19:24Have you already been dealt with for having no insurance in this country?
19:27No
19:28Because I already have
19:29165 please, no insurance
19:31And no licence
19:32You say you've never been dealt with in this country for no insurance?
19:36No
19:37Right, have you got any other ID on you?
19:39I've got this on
19:41You've got no identification with you now?
19:44Right, okay
19:45I'll tell you what, jump out
19:46We'll do some biometrics checks in the car, mate
19:49I'll tell you
19:50What do you mean?
19:51What is that?
19:52I'll tell you
19:53Have a seat in there
19:55No, it's a fingerprint test to find out who you are
19:58Police computers hold more than 8 million sets of fingerprints
20:03If the driver can't prove who he says he is
20:05Matt will take him to the station to be identified
20:08You've got absolutely nothing on you that can prove who you are
20:12No
20:13No?
20:14I find it strange that you've given me one address
20:16Yeah
20:17That is the same address that somebody else has been dealt with
20:19With a very similar name
20:21I already told you my name
20:23I know you've told me your name
20:24But things aren't adding up
20:25People aren't always straight up with us
20:28They're not always honest
20:29And there's still plenty that think that they can pull the wool over our eyes
20:33Yes, my brother, this is the same name
20:35So this is your brother?
20:36Yeah
20:37Yeah, but it's not, you know, the blood
20:40Yeah
20:41The blood
20:42He's not blood brother
20:43Do you understand what I'm saying?
20:45I think so
20:46He's not real brother
20:47You don't have the same parents
20:49My mum
20:50Yeah
20:51And his mum are not the same
20:52Yeah, stepbrother
20:53Yeah, yeah
20:54Okay
20:55Right
20:56So this is your stepbrother
20:57This is not you
20:58But you've got the same date of birth as your stepbrother
21:01I don't know because he's from another mother
21:04Yeah
21:05Your brother from another mother has got the same date of birth as you
21:08So it happens to be that your stepbrother is exactly the same age as you
21:14Do you see how things are sounding a bit funny?
21:17No, because I've got another mother
21:19Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah
21:20But what you're telling me, the details you've given me
21:23Yeah
21:24Do you have the same date of birth? Born on the same day? Imagine that?
21:29It surprises me in this day and age that people still think that they've got a chance
21:36And still think that they might possibly get away with this simply by giving somebody else's details
21:43If we get to the police station and it tells me that you are somebody else and that you've been lying to me and that it's wasted my time
21:50You will be in a lot of trouble
21:52Whereas if you tell me now if that you've happened to give me some different details by accident or being panicky
21:58It can be dealt with by way of paperwork here and we don't need to go anywhere
22:03Right, the car's going, the car's coming with me, okay
22:07But, listen, it's 2.30 in the afternoon
22:09You're going to be arrested on suspicion of driving without licence and driving without insurance
22:14Okay?
22:15I told you that I had a licence
22:16Hear me?
22:17So, you don't have to say anything
22:18Put it in my army defence if you don't mention when questioned
22:20Something which you'll let rely on in court
22:21Anything you do say may be given in evidence
22:23The reason for your arrest, the reason you're being arrested
22:26Is so that I can confirm your identity at the police station
22:29Marvellous
22:30Right, sit tight for me a second, alright?
22:32Hey matey, I've got no paperwork for you yet
22:39Because I haven't been able to write it out because I don't know who he is
22:42So I will send it through to the office
22:44As I usually do, alright?
22:46Essentially, as much as this chap's provided me with some details
22:50He's also telling me that a similar name is his stepbrother
22:55And his stepbrother happens to live at the same address
22:58Has a different mother
23:00And shares exactly the same birthday
23:02So essentially they are step-twins
23:05Which I find hard to believe
23:07So we're going to go down to the police station
23:09And he's going to be putting the biometric checker there
23:13To see if we can ascertain his true identity
23:16There's a fine balance between somebody trying their luck
23:20And giving a wrong date of birth
23:22And coming clean after a couple of minutes
23:24When they're realising that it's not washing
23:26And somebody that is so adamant that they are telling the truth
23:30That they're so intent on deceiving you
23:33That they're using up valuable time
23:35That I could be, you know, out on the roads
23:37Providing a service to other people
23:44Super!
23:46Yeah?
23:54Yeah
23:57Yeah that's fine, left hand four fingers
24:05Then just your two thumbs together
24:08This one?
24:09Yeah both
24:10Yeah
24:11Now we're just going to roll each one.
24:16The custody staff have just done a biometric check of this chap, so we are now just waiting for the results to come through.
24:27Not right details.
24:29I don't think so.
24:31Ah, yeah, the name that his friend was calling him.
24:34Quite a few mark-like driving things before.
24:38Yeah, it's across the line.
24:41OK, cool.
24:43It still amazes me how far people will take a lie.
24:47So why have you wasted my time?
24:50Scared of what?
24:52I've already told you that it could have been dealt with there and then, but instead you've taken me off the streets, wasting my time dealing with you here.
25:02You can.
25:03I'm really sorry about that.
25:05It's the first time with the police.
25:07It's not the first time with the police.
25:09You've been dealt with before for driving without licence, without insurance.
25:12No, no licence.
25:13So what will happen now is, you're also going to be dealt with for wasting police time.
25:17It's up to you.
25:18I'm really sorry about that.
25:20There was absolutely no need for the last hour of my time to be spent with you and we could have done what we've done now in five minutes.
25:26Yeah, I'm really sorry.
25:28OK.
25:29So, let's go and sort some paperwork out, shall we?
25:33Follow me.
25:34Follow me.
25:40No surprise, he doesn't have a twin step-brother and he has essentially wasted my time.
25:49Now that we've got this gentleman's genuine details, it's come up as a non-licence holder and he was disqualified for six months in 2020.
26:01So, this is probably a case of...
26:04I'll try my luck.
26:07So, you're going to get nine points and there's going to be a hefty fine to go with it.
26:11What's that?
26:12Perhaps £300 for no insurance, it'll be £300 for no licence and then whatever fine the court gives you for wasting police time.
26:20Alright?
26:21So, you don't have to say anything but it may only be defensive if you don't mention now something which will allow any court.
26:25Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
26:27Give me fine bigger than £300 and less points.
26:32No.
26:33It's not how it works.
26:35OK.
26:36Watch your toes.
26:40I'll obviously be putting a case file in with regards to the fact that he's wasted police time.
26:44Time that I could have spent assisting others, people that needed us as opposed to wasting your time with somebody who's telling fibs.
26:53Coming up.
26:54He shouldn't be driving now.
26:56ANPR camera hits.
26:58I need some assistance please.
27:00Everyone.
27:01Lead to arrests.
27:02Get out of the car!
27:03Undo the door!
27:04And seizures.
27:05It's got a large amount of money on them.
27:07Sorry?
27:08It's over a ground.
27:09It's been past information.
27:10It's possibly a clone van.
27:11So we're going to go and park up and see if it comes up and try and spot it.
27:27And we'll get it stopped.
27:29Traffic cops like PC Craig Dawes use police cameras to track vehicles on false plates.
27:35So a clone van up is when somebody's changed the ID, identity of the car.
27:42So it could be that they've changed the number plates.
27:46It could be they've got no insurance, no license or it's stolen.
27:49So you tend to find that when we get a clone it might lead to other jobs, what they've been up to.
27:542-2 from 2-3.
27:57Yes, just to let you know I've moved down to just in the highways pull in there.
28:05We're out somewhere in knots but we've not managed to locate it yet.
28:12So we've got several units doing area searches.
28:15So I'm now parked up out of the way, waiting for that call.
28:19But that few minutes can sometimes seem like an eternity.
28:23Yeah, go ahead.
28:25Yeah, it's past observations for a vehicle.
28:27We're looking for a clone.
28:29Just get eastbound.
28:30What's the risks?
28:32Who are they?
28:33What markers do they have?
28:35And ultimately, what have they got to lose by stopping that vehicle?
28:39How long has it gone?
28:41Told it's roughly five minutes.
28:45If they're carrying a large quantity of drugs or cash up down the country,
28:49what are they prepared to do to get away from police?
28:52See you now, I think.
28:54So it's a 63 and two.
28:57From Tanger 2-3.
28:59I would imagine it would have been here by now if it's not turned off.
29:02We've got the other one with the marker on as well, the one in convoy.
29:06I've looked at that and that's gone all the way around.
29:08Police believe there are two vans using cloned plates travelling together.
29:13I think I've just seen it.
29:16Yeah, one is going to come in and it's just gone up southbound.
29:19I didn't see the one in convoy with it.
29:22It's just an emotional one.
29:26I've been diving for traffic.
29:27I'm just coming up to you.
29:28Where do you want me?
29:29Two Nottinghamshire units are tailing one of the suspect vehicles.
29:33But so far, the second is undetected.
29:36Two Five, we can take race safety.
29:38We're car two at the minute.
29:40But we're not TPAC.
29:42We can do race safety.
29:44Derbyshire, I can come through and assist on your TPAC.
29:47I'm just passing the entry.
29:49Yeah, if you've got the truck on eight then you're TPAC.
29:54You've got, you're behind the first subject vehicle.
29:57Just come up with a plan.
29:58You've got Derbyshire units, Notts units.
30:00We'll be talking to get the speed down.
30:03From Tanger 2-5, we've got the matrix board illuminate in rear safety.
30:07We do not pass.
30:08So where we are, we're trying to create some sterile area.
30:13Yeah, from Derbyshire.
30:14Do you want me to come pass you then to assist?
30:16Yes, yes.
30:18Can you just get me up to the location, please?
30:21You've got 2-5 behind you with that convoy vehicle.
30:26With the other van sighted behind,
30:28Craig's closing in on the suspect ahead.
30:31At this point, I've taken the lead role.
30:33And will they be coming on to Derbyshire?
30:35Derbyshire will always kind of want their officers
30:37to take charge of the incident.
30:452-3, I'm behind you now.
30:47What vehicle are you in, please?
30:53I can see you. I'll drop in behind.
30:55Got you now.
30:56It's committed, committed.
30:57Lane 2.
30:581 for cover.
31:01Vehicle is slowing.
31:021-8, we can take rear.
31:06Move up, Dave, move up.
31:09Let's lose this heavy.
31:10Lose the heavy.
31:11It's still rolling, mate.
31:13It's going to create a gap in two after weeks.
31:15We've got some stop.
31:17The risks of putting a box on in a motorway are always high.
31:20You are using three or four vehicles to stop another vehicle
31:24but whenever you're using two, three tonnes of combined metal
31:28to try and stop something, the risk is always there.
31:32Come in front of it, Dave.
31:33Come in front.
31:34Come in front.
31:36Block on, block on, plate on.
31:45Take your head off, take it off.
31:47Get it off.
31:49Give me the keys.
31:50Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:51Get out.
31:52Get out.
31:53Get out of the car.
31:54Undo the door.
31:55Undo the door.
31:56Get to me.
31:57Get to me.
31:58Right, get out.
31:59Get out.
32:00Get out.
32:01Get out.
32:02Get out.
32:03Get out.
32:04Get the sirens off, mate.
32:09It's not a key on it.
32:10No, it's not got a key on it.
32:11Barrel's been screwed.
32:16Sitting there, fella.
32:17Sitting there, mate.
32:18Can we get anything on to ERA? Put it on to there.
32:30You're under arrest at this point on submission of theft of motor vehicle and to deliver it by means of questions.
32:35Do you understand that? Okay, the time is at 11.28.
32:41Other units have detained three more suspects.
32:45The second van's coming down as well.
32:47So, at the moment, we've got two vans stopped, one just further up the motor.
32:51I believe they've been in convoy together.
32:53This is confirmed stolen from Milton Keynes a couple of days ago.
32:57Anything in the back of this one?
32:59Yeah, it's a convoy van.
33:01Yeah, he's out in.
33:03There's a strong smell of cannabis in there as well, but this is confirmed clone as well.
33:09We've got two stolen clone vans.
33:12We've got barrels here that we believe could be used for theft of diesel.
33:17And then you've got your ramps.
33:19And what's been happening is they've been putting plant in here, so road rollers, micro diggers and so on.
33:24Or just dropping the back of that and they'll be off.
33:29And here's a thing of two, three.
33:30Can you see if that's come up in convoy with the other vehicles?
33:36Yeah, it was in convoy with it, looking at it.
33:41Yeah, all day it's been in convoy with it.
33:44All day.
33:45Yeah, they can come.
33:46All day it's been in.
33:49It's got a large amount of money on them.
33:51All four suspects now face questioning at the station about the cache and cloned vans.
33:57Sorry?
33:57It's over a grand.
33:58I've nicked mine for theft, so we can do that.
34:01Yeah.
34:02And he's got a grand on him in cash and also can explain that away.
34:05All the information that we'd had and the suspicions that we'd got with the vehicle coming have paid true.
34:11And that makes you feel even better when you know that what you've just done has been successful.
34:15I'm going to follow you down with him, is that all right?
34:19Coming up...
34:20Stopping you!
34:21A police camera alert...
34:23If you're spitting my face, you're on the floor.
34:25...leads to an angry...
34:27Climb yourself down.
34:28...and illegal driver.
34:29Is there anything in this car that shouldn't be?
34:31No.
34:31Just...
34:32You shouldn't be in it.
34:34That's fair enough, isn't it?
34:45There's a vehicle, a transit tipper, that's knocking about, and it's got a disqualified driver linked to it,
35:06who's also wanted for a serious domestic assault.
35:10PC Carl Jackson's patrolling central derby.
35:14It's activated a camera on another police car, but going in the opposite direction.
35:19A lot's changed from when I joined the police.
35:21We're not too far away, we'll see if we can come across it.
35:24You still get criminals committing the same crimes, but we have different ways of finding those criminals, I suppose, now.
35:31And a lot of that's down to technology.
35:36Attention. Derby niche stoppings.
35:40There's no sign of the wanted truck driver.
35:44Drug docks.
35:48That's going to be pulled over, isn't it?
35:50But Carl's patrol car is fitted with its own high-tech ANPR camera.
35:55That car there.
35:58Why has everything gone at once?
36:00She's sat in that waiting for her fella.
36:08And he shouldn't be driving that.
36:15So let's just hope it comes this way.
36:17I can't hide him in a flipping great big marked police car.
36:20The traffic cops on board computer is linked to Control's national intel database.
36:25As traffic cops, we stop numerous people daily.
36:30You've got no idea what you're dealing with.
36:31Whereas if I'm stopping a vehicle that's got an ANPR marker on it already for, let's say, drugs,
36:37then I've already got an insight into what it might be that I'm dealing with.
36:42It's facing this way, so I'm hoping it's going to come this way.
36:50That's it.
36:52And he's driving.
36:53What are you doing?
37:10Stopping you.
37:11Why?
37:11Yeah, but you're driving this on the road.
37:13Have you got any documents or any insurance?
37:14Not on the car, no.
37:15I'm going for a meal.
37:15Not on you at all?
37:16You haven't got anything on you at all?
37:17I'm going for a meal.
37:18No, you're not.
37:18The car's insurance.
37:19I guess I am going for a meal.
37:20You're going to deal with me first, then you go for a meal.
37:22Am I detained?
37:23Yes.
37:24So, I'm going to put some handcuffs on, yeah?
37:25Or I'll spit in your face.
37:27If you spit in my face, you're on the floor.
37:29So?
37:30Simple as that.
37:31And you'll get locked up for assault.
37:32Where are you at as well?
37:33Where are you at as well?
37:33Where are you at as well?
37:36I need some assistance, please.
37:38Everybody go in.
37:38I'm at the...
37:39Go.
37:40I think part of his act of being in my face straight away and causing me issues was so that
37:46the female in the car could leave.
37:50And she was frantically fidgeting and gathering whatever she was in the car.
37:55It was hard for me to see what I was dealing with him.
37:57And then promptly left.
37:59So, call me suspicious, but I think if there was anything, it probably went with her.
38:05Stay there.
38:05You're not giving anything to her.
38:06A female passenger and two children are free to go.
38:11An A27.
38:12The other occupants of the car are leaving.
38:15I've got the male detained.
38:17It's just been a bit threatening.
38:19Working on your own, single crewed, has its own challenges.
38:22The safest thing to do is to get hold of the person.
38:25If you could do a little bit of help, that's all, because the guy's not happy.
38:28Challenging behaviour can very quickly turn to aggression.
38:31And so, if you don't get control of that situation quickly, you risk getting hurt.
38:35Is there anything in this car that shouldn't be?
38:37No.
38:38Me?
38:39Well, you shouldn't be in it.
38:40That's fair enough, isn't it?
38:42You know you're not.
38:43Have you got a licence?
38:44No.
38:44Exactly.
38:45So, why did you make out that you did?
38:47Because, actually, I didn't.
38:48I said it was just for someone else.
38:49And I said, have you got a licence?
38:51You said, yeah.
38:51You said, of course I have.
38:52I'm going for a meal.
38:53I just told you I didn't have a licence.
38:54I'll take my six points.
38:55Go on.
38:55If they're bouncing around all over the place and appear aggressive, then I've got to reflect their behaviour with my own behaviour.
39:16When you talk to me and you breathe on my face, you stink of cannabis.
39:20Do I?
39:20Yes.
39:21You're mad, mate.
39:22Which is part of what they test.
39:24They're trying to see if I'm weak, if I'm not going to do that.
39:27If there's no drugs and we're all calm by the end of this, you can go on your way with your six points and your £300 fine.
39:32There's no drugs in my car, I'll just tell you.
39:34But if you fail a drugs wipe, then you're going to have to come to custody, aren't you?
39:37Do a drugs wipe, please.
39:38I'm going to do one now.
39:40Another unit is backing up car.
39:42It should be open.
39:44I've got the key.
39:44While officers search the suspect's car, Carl tests the driver for drugs.
39:49So stick your tongue out for me.
39:51You need to go a bit further than that, mate.
39:59I'll keep the device on me, but I'll show you the results of it.
40:06You've passed that, though, pal, like you thought.
40:09So you're going to be reported for no insurance.
40:11If you haven't got a licence, then no licence.
40:13So you don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you're going to mention now something which you'll later rely on in court.
40:19Anything you do say may be given evidence, all right?
40:21Yeah.
40:21So you'll get a notification in the post for those.
40:23I'm not bothered about any paperwork.
40:24No, that's fine.
40:25So you'll get a letter in the post, because now it's all electronic, you'll not receive out, yeah?
40:30Okay.
40:32Yeah, yeah.
40:33He's changed his tune.
40:36We're best mates now.
40:38He's passed the drugs wipe, and it's a negative search.
40:41Car is a mess.
40:44It's got a completely flat front tyre as well, so it's been seized anyway, and he's saying he don't want it back or want any paperwork.
40:50So she's leaving with nothing.
40:53I waited up the road in a pub car park, and he drove past and ended up pulling into the same pub car park for his Sunday dinner.
41:02So, which I spoiled, because he didn't get it.
41:07Look at this for a car.
41:08I mean, you're telling me that this isn't going to draw attention to police.
41:14It's got no handles on that side or that side.
41:17Nearside tyre is completely flat.
41:19It's a mess.
41:23ANPR has helped take more than half a million uninsured vehicles off UK roads in the last five years.
41:31We live in a world that's full of CCTV cameras.
41:33If you go out for a drive, you're likely to drive past people's houses, even people's doorbells have flipping CCTV in them now.
41:41So it's very unlikely your journey's not going to be captured on a camera somewhere.
41:46That's the world we live in.
41:49Technology on the whole is ever improving.
41:52Certainly in policing, it's come on leaps and bounds in recent years.
41:55We've got our fingertips on mobile devices.
41:58We've got access to automatic number plate recognition, cameras, police national computer, which holds data on not only vehicles, but also people, whether they're wanted, missing, whether there's concerns for them.
42:13And all this is readily available straight from our mobile phones.
42:18In this episode...
42:19Get on the ground, you'll be tasing!
42:21Get on the ground!
42:22The runaway driver who crashed his van was prosecuted for disqualified driving, failing to stop for police, and no insurance.
42:30You're under arrest for driving while disqualified?
42:31At court, he received a community order with a rehabilitation and unpaid work requirement, and was banned from the roads for a further 16 months.
42:41You're under arrest on suspicion of child sexual exploitation, OK?
42:45The man arrested under suspicion of child sexual exploitation was released without charge.
42:51Think this car here is going to be your carriage.
42:56Police confirmed the child was not harmed in any way.
43:01Your brother from another mother has got the same date of birth as you.
43:04The man arrested by Matt Cork for not providing his identity was prosecuted for no license, no insurance, and obstructing a police officer in his duties.
43:15There was absolutely no need for the last hour of my time to be spent with you, and we could have done what we've done now in five minutes.
43:21He received fines and costs totaling £842, and was disqualified from driving for six months.
43:28Get out! Get out! Get out of the car!
43:31Undo the door!
43:32Three men arrested in two cloned vans stopped on the motorway remain under investigation for theft.
43:39One of the drivers also remains under investigation for drug driving, whilst police await the results of a blood test.
43:46The other driver has been reported on summons to court for no license and no insurance.
43:51Another male was released without action.
43:54You spit in my face, you're on the floor.
43:56And the angry motorist, who Carl Jackson was forced to put in cuffs, was reported to court on summons for uninsured driving.
44:05Look at this for a car. I mean, it's a mess.
44:07If found guilty, he's likely to receive six points and a £300 fine.
44:11The other driver has been found fine.
