Short filmTranscript
00:03Tonight on Highway Patrol, multiple units pursue an out-of-control speeder, a golfer
00:16gets teed off, and a cyclist comes clean.
00:28I break the rules that it's true.
00:36I break the rules.
00:36I break the rules.
00:37I break the rules.
00:38I break the rules.

07:34I break the rules.
07:47I break the rules.
08:03I break the rules.
08:17I break the rules.
08:25I break the rules.
08:27I break the rules.
08:34now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I need a cuppa. Here comes. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Got it. Yeah,
08:46good job. Let's go. Yeah, 626. Excellent hit. Cost me all four tyres. Officers Mick McCran,
08:54Todd Deary and Dale Andrews are in pursuit of a speeder in a stolen car. He's doing 200
09:01kilometres per hour, five minutes before school's out for the day. This driver
09:07needs to be taken off the road. Copy. Just catching up now. Bendigo 652 is
09:13police forward to Commander. Can that 626 take over and initiate a pursuit for me,
09:18please? We have a dangerous vehicle heading into a 40k zone. Yeah, Bendigo 626
09:23taking over in pursuit.
09:34Yeah. Yeah. Get ready.
09:43Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up.
09:53Get on the ground.
09:58I find this ridiculous. Oh, you find this ridiculous. Yes.
10:01I thought you called me something else. I'm in life danger every day. Look how I look like.
10:05Yeah, but you're doing the wrong thing, sir. No, I don't think it was wrong. I was really
10:08careful. What you think is wrong versus what's actually wrong is two different things. Yeah,
10:13Mate, like I said to you, you're riding on the wrong side of the road.
10:15You're right. I didn't stick to the rules.
10:16You failed to stop at the stop sign.
10:18You then rode across the crossing
10:19and then thought you could go back on the road through the red.
10:22You can't do that, OK?
10:24You're putting yourself in danger, and others too.
10:27Yeah, I know I didn't stick to the rules,
10:29but I think I didn't care for you.
10:30Yep.
10:31Why are you filming?
10:33Because that's what cameras are for.
10:35And they're even on the patrol car.
10:37I love the logic of I don't like the rules,
10:40so that's why I'm breaking them.
10:41And now it's time to watch everyone's favourite show,
10:45Highway Patrol Uncut.
10:47Review the footage from our car, mate.
10:50And I'll show you, because I'm happy to.
10:52So we're approaching this intersection here, right?
10:55That's the crossing there.
10:57You're actually on the wrong side of the road, going past us.
11:01You barely use that crossing, and you continue through that red.
11:04That's correct, yeah.
11:05OK.
11:05So what's going to happen today is,
11:07instead of giving you a multitude and a handful of tickets,
11:09I'm only going to give you the one going through the red light there, OK?
11:13I'm not going to give you the one for going on the wrong side of the road.
11:14I'm not going to give you the one for going on a footpath here.
11:17But you need to understand, there will be an infringement notice today, OK?
11:20I understand where you're coming from,
11:22but unfortunately, like you said,
11:23our infrastructure is built a little bit different.
11:25You just still need to follow our road rules.
11:27He's gone straight through that red light,
11:29which is where all traffic needs to stop,
11:31and then continued on his merry way.
11:34He got very close to a pedestrian.
11:36He was crossing with a walker and whatnot,
11:38and he was screaming safety,
11:40and unfortunately, I did not see any kind of safe riding today.
11:45It was just too much for me to not pull him over.
11:56He's got a fellow driving a golf cart here down the road.
12:00Two heads on board, a couple of golf clubs.
12:02Where's the golf course here?
12:06Things you see, eh?
12:07Yeah, I've had to say the things you see.
12:09I'm not sure where he's off to, but let's find out.
12:12Officers Low and Kellis don't know this man,
12:15how far he's driven,
12:16or even if he's had a couple at the 19th hole.
12:20But they are duty-bound to find out.
12:22Hi, mate. How are you going?
12:23Good. My name's Chris. I'm from Westgate Highway Patrol.
12:25Yep. Where are we off to?
12:27Keringo.
12:27Where have we come from?
12:29I'm within one point... I'm within the two kilometres.
12:31Yep, yep. All right, fair enough.
12:33You got your driver's licence with you?
12:33No.
12:34Don't have a licence with you?
12:35No.
12:35Have you got a licence?
12:36Yep.
12:37Excellent.
12:38But I don't need to give it to you.
12:39You don't need a licence, Robert.
12:40Out on the road?
12:43Trust me.
12:44I know the law.
12:45All right.
12:46I'm within two kilometres.
12:48Yeah, that's fine.
12:50We'll double-check it all anyway.
12:52But our job is to check everything, yeah?
12:54The only thing you can do is breath test there.
12:56Can't be able to live.
12:57Easy. No worries.
12:58The gentleman seems...
13:00..off.
13:01That's because this isn't the first time he's been pulled over.
13:04We're obviously in the golf buggy,
13:06driving down the Keringo,
13:09and we get pulled over,
13:10which is the second time,
13:12but you're allowed to drive to the golf corpus
13:16if you're within two kilometres of your home.
13:20And the good thing about it is you don't need a licence,
13:22you don't need to be registered,
13:23you don't need anything.
13:24All good, mate.
13:25All I want to do...
13:26No, no, look, you're right.
13:27I just had to double-check it.
13:28This is bordering on harassment now.
13:30Oh, you've pulled over a few times.
13:31This is the third time.
13:33So this is bordering on harassment.
13:35This is not you guys.
13:36This is bordering on harassment.
13:37Either you guys get educated
13:39or I start writing in complaints.
13:40Oh, mate, look,
13:41if you're riding one of these outside that distance,
13:43then it isn't a fence.
13:44Oh, of course I know that.
13:45And the only way for us to work that out
13:46is to stop you and check.
13:47Well, of course I know that.
13:48But the problem with me is that...
13:50You guys Highway Patrol?
13:51Yeah.
13:52OK, so last time was Highway Patrol as well.
13:54OK, let me ask you a question.
13:55Yeah.
13:56You're driving behind me in the golf cart, right?
13:59Yeah.
13:59There's no identifying points on it.
14:01I can't identify you.
14:02I don't know where you come from.
14:03I don't know who you are.
14:04So the only way for me to work out
14:05that you are doing the right thing
14:06is to stop you.
14:07It is what it is.
14:09You did what you had to do.
14:10Yeah.
14:11And I'm happy with that.
14:12Yeah, thanks, mate.
14:13Everything's worked out the way it needs to today
14:14and you're all good to go.
14:15Thanks, guys.
14:16All right, mate.
14:16Take care.
14:20Drive was quite right when he said
14:21that he doesn't need a licence,
14:23doesn't need to be registered
14:24because the golf carts are exempt.
14:25So in this case, he hasn't done anything wrong,
14:27but we still need to check.
14:31And there's no identifying marks on these cars.
14:33So the only way for us to do that
14:35is to pull him up and have a chat.
14:44Get ready.
14:57Get on the ground.
15:00Cuffs on.
15:03Bendigo.
15:04Six, five, two.
15:05One in custody.
15:06No injuries to members.
15:07No damage.
15:09Kill the sirens.
15:10What do you mean?
15:11You lose some of my cuffs.
15:13Well, everything's contained.
15:14Gloves on, body worn on,
15:16so it's cut.
15:16So the vehicle stopped
15:17as a result of the stop sticks,
15:19and this is intentional, high-risk driving,
15:21putting our community at risk.
15:24But the driver isn't going quietly.
15:27His tyres are in tatters,
15:29but he's threatening more mayhem
15:31if he gets the chance.
15:32Get on the ground.
15:33Like, I'm checking your pockets.
15:35Like, like...
15:37Yeah, stop sticks deployed.
15:38Absolutely effective.
15:40Got it.
15:41Good job.
15:43Deflated all four tyres,
15:45which caused him to pull over the side of the road here.
15:47He couldn't travel any further, so...
15:50Worked well.
15:51Take a deep breath.
15:53You're not going anywhere.
15:54You can swear all you want.
15:56I understand you're angry.
15:57No-one wants to hurt you or fight you.
15:59F***.
16:03Let's see if we can pull up next to her here.
16:07There's P-plates up now.
16:09If the driver in the car ahead of officers Brian and Dupre
16:12is who they think,
16:14then she is in big trouble.
16:16All right, so my off-sider here has just checked a registration
16:18in Pete's Road here in Hoppers Crossing,
16:21and it looks like it's possibly coming up to a learner.
16:24So we're going to pull over and have a look and see who it is.
16:27There's red P-plates up at the moment.
16:28We're not totally sure who it is that's driving, so...
16:32Make the intercept and see how we go.
16:35Hello, how are you?
16:36It's good.
16:37My name's Aaron.
16:38I'm from the Westgate Highway Patrol.
16:39Have you got your licence with you, please?
16:40Yep.
16:42What licence have you got?
16:43I'm an international learner.
16:46International.
16:46Yeah.
16:47Do you have a Victorian licence at all?
16:48Uh, learners, yes, apply for...
16:50You can't be using that one, though?
16:52Oh.
16:52When you've got a learner's,
16:54you can't use your international.
16:56All right, have you got a licence?
16:59I've got any...
16:59No.
17:00You don't have a licence?
17:01No.
17:02Okay, so which means that you're driving unaccompanied as a learner.
17:06So when you did your test, your learners,
17:09they would have told you that you can't use your international anymore?
17:12No, no one told me.
17:13They just are very...
17:14They would have told you that.
17:15Because that's the condition of getting your learners,
17:18is that any international driver licence that you hold is no longer valid.
17:22Just grab your key.
17:23Give me a few minutes and I'll come back with you soon.
17:26We've intercepted this vehicle.
17:27It's got a P-plate up.
17:28I'm not quite sure why that's up.
17:29But she's given us an international licence,
17:32trying to tell us that she can drive in a Fiji licence here.
17:35But unfortunately, when you apply for a learner licence,
17:39that supersedes any international licence that you hold.
17:42So this licence that she holds here now is now invalid in Victoria.
17:48So being a learner, is there any reason why you don't have any L-plates up on the car?
17:53064, no one is there.
17:55Oh, no, I've been...
17:55Oh, no, I've been...
17:56We have it inside.
17:57So you need to display that every time that you drive.
18:01Yeah?
18:01But you also need that authorised driver there,
18:03which is a fully licensed driver, OK?
18:05Hi, it's Natasha on the Altona 681.
18:08How are you?
18:08We're finding more and more people who are driving on learners,
18:13if they receive tickets, they really don't care about those tickets.
18:16So what they do care about is having their car impounded.
18:18So I've called our senior and spoke to them
18:23in regards to the circumstances of this young lady driving today.
18:26And the impound has been authorised
18:28to take this person's vehicle to get them off the road.
18:32It is a serious consequence
18:33and we really hope that people will learn from it.
18:37It is an escalation from tickets.
18:39By taking the car, people are noticing more and more
18:41that it's more of an imposter on their life.
18:44So by taking their car,
18:46hopefully it'll teach them the right way.
19:03Just before 3pm,
19:04multiple police have stopped
19:07the dangerously speeding driver
19:08of a stolen vehicle
19:10only 500 metres from a school in Bendigo.
19:13What happened?
19:14F***!
19:15Thanks to swift use of stop sticks...
19:18Got it!
19:19..he's in custody.
19:20Successful hit.
19:21Take a deep breath.
19:23No f***!
19:24You're not going anywhere.
19:25You can swear all you want.
19:26I understand you're angry.
19:27No-one wants to hurt you or fight you.
19:30Yeah, well, just stop, bro.
19:31You don't have to drag it like this.
19:33I pulled over.
19:33But you're not doing what you're told
19:35and I'm not going to get spat on or kicked.
19:37I'm not going to spit on you or...
19:38So don't.
19:39...like that.
19:39So don't.
19:40I don't know you want enough.
19:41Well, can you loosen this cuff, bro?
19:43I'll work on that in a minute.
19:44Let me give you a pat there.
19:45Where?
19:45That's the car style.
19:47I don't know.
19:48I borrowed it off my mate.
19:49So we've got multiple calls
19:50from members of the public
19:51in regards to
19:52a dangerously driven vehicle.
19:53This vehicle's travelling
19:55at 190 kilometres an hour
19:56as estimated by
19:57off-duty police members
19:58and members of the public.
20:00It's travelling into the CBD at Bendigo
20:02which is currently a 40k zone
20:03at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
20:04on a school day.
20:07It's finally important
20:08that we stop the vehicle.
20:09We've used stop sticks to do that.
20:10And as our community expects us to do
20:12we stop people like this
20:14from getting into the CBD.
20:15This driver has been arrested
20:16dangerous driving
20:18failing to stop
20:19his high speed
20:20and he'll also be
20:21drug and alcohol tested.
20:23This vehicle
20:23is stolen.
20:25You don't have to say
20:26do anything
20:26but anything you can say
20:27do may report
20:27and give an evidence.
20:28Do you understand?
20:29Yep.
20:30Lockie!
20:32We're going to seize it
20:33forensically made
20:34so it gets tested.
20:35So we don't touch it.
20:36Thanks man.
20:37So the vehicle
20:38gets forensically examined.
20:39Once it's examined
20:40goes back to its owner.
20:41We've established his ID.
20:42He's been given a caution and writes.
20:44Has he got any injuries?
20:45No.
20:45Asked him.
20:46Said no.
20:46Righto.
20:48So I can understand
20:49that motorists heading into Bendigo
20:50this afternoon
20:51during peak hour
20:52are going to be a bit
20:52disappointed
20:53with the traffic conditions.
20:54Stand to only one lane
20:55unfortunately.
20:56If these people only knew
20:57what was happening here
20:58not half an hour ago
20:59with a car doing
21:00almost 200 kilometres an hour.
21:01I appreciate their patience.
21:03You never know
21:03when you come up to these scenes
21:04what police have been dealing with
21:05and I'll say to them
21:07thank you for slowing down
21:08when you go past
21:08those police cars
21:09to 40 k's
21:10and appreciate
21:11that sometimes
21:12police have got to
21:13take some action
21:13and close those roads
21:14but it really is
21:15for everybody's safety.
21:24next time

21:29with hot takeaways
21:30You are not my God
