Motorway Patrol S23E09
Transcript
00:00Coming up on Motorway Patrol, crazy antics.
00:03Let the dogs out.
00:06How far away are the lights?
00:08Just get warm towards us.
00:10And erratic behaviour.
00:12Are you on drugs?
00:14Are you on drugs?
00:16Has serious consequences.
00:18Hey, hey, you're under arrest for failing to comply to my request.
00:23Come on, out of the car.
00:24Out of the car.
00:42On Auckland's myriad of motorways, Sergeant J.D. Koppel knows no two nights are the same.
00:48On an unusually quiet Friday, you've got stuff going on at home, but if you crash at high
00:53speed, you might not be getting home, which isn't going to help the family, eh?
00:57Yeah.
00:57The night is no longer quiet.
01:00Another patrol unit lasers an SUV at 146 kilometres per hour.
01:05J.D. responds to the call-out that the driver hasn't stopped.
01:09Driving dangerously.
01:10J.T.O.K.
01:11He is lights off, lights off.
01:13As the driver turns his lights off, his driving becomes even more dangerous.
01:17Atock continued to track the SUV.
01:20Off her, **** driver.
01:22Roger.
01:22J.T.O.K.
01:23It's been tracked by Atock CCTV cameras exiting here.

02:39J.T.O.K.
02:44a month have you ever been New Zealand before how old are you now 20 what's the
02:53name on your passport there's nothing in the system even with the immigration
03:00check so you're either telling me lies about who you are or something else is
03:07going on you need to prove to me who you are if you've got your passport or your
03:11Australian license at home so we need to go back to your house and we need to go
03:19in and see their passport all right so you can either do that voluntarily or I
03:26place you under arrest with false details now and we do it the harder way so what
03:30would you want to do the driver sticks to his story and opts to retrieve his
03:41passport it's coming this way I think I should just say him you're telling me
03:47porkies so what's your real name sergeant Campbell needs to find out why this
03:55driver's telling porkies the thing is when you speak to police even if you've
04:03made mistakes or done something wrong you need to tell the truth because the truth
04:06is always going to come out so why did you give me false details so I just want
04:12to call this been that for three months Simon standby I've got his real name now
04:19he's suspended apparently providing false details and driving while suspended is
04:24not the smartest game plan turns out the sober driver came to rescue his friends
04:29commendable unless you're suspended if you're stuffed up just tell the truth okay
04:34because it's gonna come back and bite you in the bum this young drivers having a
04:37rough night so sergeant Campbell offers some seasoned advice you've made a
04:42mistake tonight and there is going to be financial pain and of course the car
04:46getting impounded but I can understand they're trying to do them a favor and
04:51that kind of thing but you need to think about yourself though hey as the Toyota gets
04:57impounded everyone needs to get home safely
05:01it's our first night going out at the bars so we thought we'd have a nice night you just got
05:07to
05:07make sure that whoever's driving your car has a license honestly next time I think we're just
05:12going to catch an Uber yeah yeah that's the safest way I think that's the safest way the reason why
05:17he
05:17gave me a false name is because he's actually a disqualified driver he was disqualified 12 days
05:21ago in court he seemed pretty apologetic really when he realized he was in the wrong he's going to get
05:27out he's been summoned to go to court now for driving was disqualified third and subsequent
05:32and he's going to be getting a fine for giving me the false details which is quite hefty at $750
05:37so
05:38that could have been avoided if he gave me his name straight up it's just no point in line to
05:42the police
05:51in Auckland's northwest sergeant JD Cople is responding to a call out for a fleeing vehicle
05:57CCTV has captured it doing speeds in excess of 140 kilometres per hour and fleeing a police stop JD and
06:04other officers attempt to stop the driver with a cordon on nearby roads but with no sign of the SUV
06:12JD
06:13abandons the road spikes and waits for further updates K9 dog unit has managed to pick up a scent
06:19from the dump vehicle and track through some pretty dense bush for about half an hour a result in
06:25him locating two of the other passengers from the vehicle the K9 team tracked two of the vehicles
06:33occupants hiding in nearby bush I'm straight through with Delta to in custody at the moment

17:47For everyone's safety, the driver needs to remain in the back.
17:51Stay still. All right?
17:52Well, he's grabbing me.
17:53Just stay there.
17:59Victor, are you still at base?
18:03Yeah, I'll just get a stop at all, won't you?
18:06Yeah, copy. This guy's pretty erratic.
18:09Erratic.
18:22Police station arriving now.
18:25Send.
18:26The camera. Still rolling.
18:31Yeah, but like the sun.
18:37God, am I going to call this later?
18:39I think you want to.
18:39Finally at the station, Chris's concerns are confirmed.
18:43OK, close your eyes.
18:45Close my eyes.
18:46Close my eyes.
18:47OK, and open your eyes.
18:50Open your eyes.
18:52No?
18:52OK, that's a fail in that area.
18:54I failed.
18:55Can we start it again?
18:56No, no, no, we can't fail.
18:57Let's start it again.
18:58You go out like this.
18:59So standing on your foot.
19:05OK, so that's a fail.
19:08You can heal the toe.
19:10With the impairment test failed,
19:12there's now the option of a blood test.
19:14Do you consent to a medical practitioner to come and take a blood specimen?
19:18Do I consent to a medical practitioner to take the test?
19:23Are you serious?
19:27All right, good evening.
19:29How are you?
19:31The gentleman's parents have just come and picked him up from the station.
19:34He's been summoned for two offences at the moment.
19:37It's refusing officers' request for blood after failing a CRT test.
19:42And also for driving while suspended.
19:45So he'll be appearing in court on those two charges.
19:55Sometimes even the simplest of instructions are lost on motorists.
20:00Constables Ran Lee and Sam Singh are trying to pull over a car with the universal sound of a siren.
20:06No.
20:09Come on.
20:12Move to the left.
20:14Left.
20:16Left.
20:20Move left.
20:24Finally, the driver gets the message.
20:27I just recorded this car doing 122 rather quickly than other traffic.
20:33And before some people comments, they said not that common.
20:39Hey guys, how's it going?
20:40It's good, thank you.
20:41Hi.
20:41What made you think you could pull over to the right?
20:44Oh, no, sorry.
20:45Um, I was just stressing out and so I wasn't sure like if I was supposed to...
20:47Yeah, we were stressing out as well.
20:48It could have killed us all.
20:50Yeah, no, sorry.
20:52It's just very unsafe and the reason I can tell you is because that's called a fast lane.
20:58People drive fast and if someone's not paying attention, they could rear end our car,
21:05which then rear ends your car.
21:07Yeah.
21:07That's not going to be pretty.
21:09Yeah, I'm done.
21:09Have you got your license?
21:10Yeah, I'm done.
21:11Okay.
21:12We lasered you during 122.
21:15What's the reason?
21:16Honestly, I don't have an experience for losing, sorry.
21:19I'm giving him the restricted, obviously not qualified, not compliance.
21:24As Ran runs the details, the duo are keen to chat.
21:28I'm an artist.
21:29What sort of artist?
21:30I paint Freddy Fazbear and Hatsune Miku.
21:33Oh, lovely.
21:34Yeah, yeah, I love them.
21:35I love Five Nights at Freddy's.
21:37Oh, very good.
21:38Here's your license bag.
21:39Yeah.
21:39So there will be a speed infringement for exceeding 22 speed limit and there will also be a infringement
21:45for you're not qualified and you can't have anyone that's not qualified as a passenger.
21:50The driver's given Furman's .
21:52The driver who was telling Porky's was convicted for driving while disqualified,
21:56third and subsequent, and sentenced to 150 hours community service.
22:01The erratic driver was fined $900 plus court costs for refusing a blood test after failing his
22:06impairment test and for driving while suspended.
22:08He was also disqualified from driving for 12 months.
