This is great work by the police. Way better than investigating break ins and stabbings. Get those villains doing 35 in a 30
By traffic police?
Good on you Archie, road safety is paramount- all of us petrolheads need to appreciate that.
Not round my area it isn't. 😔
No police officer has ever improved road safety.
They’ll also never have a big manly 10 incher like I do.
Driving in an unmarked cop car - 'were not trying to hide from anyone' LOL
If they were attempting to hide, they wouldn’t be in uniform, however they are attempting to be stealth.
@@almostanengineer Hide/stealth, stealth/hide.
No mate that's plain clothes police, they don't use that for traffic stuff.
Obviously they were attempting to hide/stealth cause the car is unmarked.
@@tedtheturbot there’s a difference between being hidden and wanting to blend in
@@lordvaspy8914 What's the difference when your driving down the road?
@@tedtheturbot your not hiding when you’re driving they wear high vests
These are genuinely some of your best videos. No BS and No waffle. Actually interesting stuff to watch! Keep them up
He talks about outdated legislation a lot, I personally think speed limits are outdated and should be raised. All modern cars vans motorcycles and even lorries stop 100x faster and short distances than ever before.
Me to but the exact opposite is happening in most places the speed limits are getting less a lot of towns now have 20mph limits. And some dual carriageways are 50mph.
But there is more traffic and distractions
@@rvineyard5770 when there's more traffic you generally can't get to the speed limit let alone exceed it.
I agree about speed limits in some places, although I think motorways you already get enough people bumbling along in the middle or outside lanes and nowhere near 70mph as it is. Also it’s less about how quick vehicles can stop and more about whether people are paying attention to the road around them and/ or reacting to hazards. A huge amount of collisions happen because people simply aren’t paying attention.
Every vehicle is 100x time more environmentally friendly than they we're also. I'd like to see anyone get away with doing 85.
Keep these police episodes coming Archie!👮
Awesome video... Did you know that most of viewers really like these sort of videos? We really hope for more like these in the future please. Thank you.
Great video as always! The Surrey police are so good with this kind of thing! The other day they gave me a tour of Reigate Police station. Keep up the great work Archie 😀
First time channel viewer here 👍🏻 That first stop just shows what the cops always say on TV….. you pull someone over for something and then find all the other things as well, however that car really did need taking off the road for safety. Those back tyres were cracked up so must have been well old. Good video 🙂👍🏻 I keep thinking of a ride-along in Nottm.
Tyres are so vital, they are literally the only thing connecting your vehicle to the road, those and brakes should be the number one thing you look after on your car. Great video.
Another interesting Surrey Police film, more watchable than the edited stuff on TV. Cheers Archie.
Same clip played twice at the end
Police do check up on how your mot advisories are doing and if theyve developed into dangerous. Example my car PASSED the Mot but had 1 advisory that 2 front tyres had 2.0mm tread depth. I wasnt driving much and was gonna replace the tyres 2 months after but 1 month after im driving at night and i get stopped. All my details clear but the officer sees the advisory and checks the front 2 tyre tread depth. They were still above legal so i was told im free to go. But its proof police do check on advisory even though it technicslly passed and was good for another 11 months "technically".
@@cephasmakuzva surely they aren’t good for 11 months, wouldn’t they be good until the tread is below 1.6 because car has be mot worthy all year round not just at time of inspection?
@@user-ef7qh6qm5w no they wouldnt at the time i was doing like 20 miles a week. Works up the road from me and i walk so only used the car for 2 miles to the grocery shop and back weekly and small other bits probably 20 miles a week. Hence i could last with 2mm tread until 1.6mm for 2 months. But any advisory like tyre suspension anything police do see your passed car but they do stop you to see if your advisory has developed into dangerous and undriveable. For that reason I try to get advisories sorted as soon as i get the money or if i have immediately.
@@cephasmakuzva thats fair enough mate! Makes total sense
@@user-ef7qh6qm5w ive bought used cars quite a lot too recently changing my car since i got offered more than i paid to get out of them and everytime i buy a car i get one recently serviced and get the guy selling the car to sort out any advisory on the mot so i buy clean recently serviced recently mot'd no advisory.
love these type of vids
Archie, good to see you point out at 08:00 how good infrastructure design or lack there of it can affect the safety of others. Wonder of the police track intersections that have endless repeat accidents so to motivate the government to make a change to improve safety, because that would be at least retroactive of them?
I don’t think the police track that, but accidents are recorded at local council level, and they do drive changes to infrastructure, it’s just not always as fast, or simple as people would like.
This type of videos are very interesting because the road safety is absolutely important. Congrats Archie!
Love the content different and fresh!
A great insight, unfortantely we dont consider the impact on others by not having an MOT, TAX or Insurance and or driving/riding above the speed limit.
I think this is the least of the UK worries don't you think?
My car doesn't have sat nav and use my phone? More points for tints or phone?
We like it Archie. More police camera action please
I like this series Archie!
Biggest question we need to know are police cars remapped 😂
Not normally
Remapped? No.
Do they have other upgrades? Depends, but often yes.
I.e Firearms vehicles get upgraded suspension. They are driving around at speed (with majority of them being advanced drivers) in an effective "boat" usually an X5 or an XC90, with typically three assault rifles, ammunition and attachments locked away into a very sturdy, tough and secure gun safe either in the boot or built into where one of the rear passenger seats would be. That's before you factor in any other kit, such as the officer's kit bags (which can weigh up to 20kg each depending on how much the officer carries with them in their kit bag), first aid kits, crime scene tape, 5L of water for acid attacks etc.
Wow! Exciting to watch!
999 mode activated!! Such a epic video , I love seeing how the police work. That car they pulled with those tyres wow! So dangerous. One of my favourite videos to watch! More please
999 is what they dial as we in US dial 911, I guess that was coming from his computer in the car, interesting how the radar gun read MPH instead of kilometers
@@toddt6730 that’s how we read speed over here in MPH, I don’t know if it’s a cross all countries but here everything’s MPH
At the biker crash did they breathalyze the driver and rider?
The problem is an everyday person can’t afford to go on a track day every week so often the road is the only place to test there car you don’t get a buzz out of speeding on the road because your a racing driver I’m not saying it’s right to speed in public but I see why it happens
Problem is there will always be idiots who speed on our pic roads for fun and careless driving. That’s why they enforce speed limit’s throughout.
Oh well. Anyway…
To me I don’t see much issue with a nice country road blast when the traffic is light but people who fly around in 30 zones with people out and about are stupid
If you can afford to buy a really fast tuned modified car, you can afford to go on a track. If you can afford to by upgrades for your engine what not cheap you can afford a track ticket..
If you see what I mien.
But if you are buying a slow standard shxt box car and you like going fast in it then yes you could be poor for a track ticket lol
@@adamcowell7847 what if you can afford a decently quick car but the tax, insurance, fuel and maintenance costs are already a lot then on top of that to go to a track day where you go through a set of tyres, brake pads, full service, however much fuel etc plus the cost of actually getting the on track time
Top video Archie lad
Nice one Archie !!
Like these Archie...a little different but good...!
Great flog archie. Keep doing these videos.
I'm a retired truck HGV driver. AND MAYBE YOU COULD DO A VIDEO ON HGV. NEXT. 👍👏
Check out ashville aggregates
Need more of there brilliant
this is chaos Archie
They are not trying to hide yet it’s a unmarked car 🤔🤔 😂😂
Lol as it’s so easy to spot his jacket 😂 builders don’t wear them either 👍👍
I’ve been pulled by one of these the bloke was massive. He sat so low in his seat I didn’t see his jacket 🫤
confused now , if the peugeot had no mot or tax would that not invalidate the insurance
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a MOT?
Love how the cop almost hits 80 on the motorway and doesn't care. One rule for one not for the other. If i didn't have a life i would report him😂
Seen it a few times, but God forbid you do that!!
@@g.jeffreys9397 trust me mate i would love to.
What a superb video , credit to The Police Force for allowing you to show us an insight . It would be good if they let you could join them whilst they train their policeman and policewomen for advanced driving [ for example pursuit of other vehicles etc
Too dangerous. Advanced driver training is a whole new level, and as a serving officer myself, around 50% of advanced driver candidates fail to make the grade because they don't make sufficient progress. These 50% are often experienced officers who've been blue lighting it around as standard response motorcar trained drivers for years.
I used to work with an officer who had 15 years in the job, this was 5 years ago now. He was a quicker standard response driver and confident, on the first week of his advanced car course he dropped out of the course through his own choice, he was uncomfortable with just how much progress he was being expected to make. It's a very fast course.
Standard response driving is much quicker than most of the public would ever feel comfortable driving at, advanced is even quicker than that.
In years gone by, they might have allowed ride alongs on training courses, not anymore.
Hey archie could you find this one out as I read a couple of articles saying if you are parked up at the side of the road out of gear handbrake on or in a parking space out of gear handbrake on and use your phone that's an offense?
If the engine is on, it can be deemed an offence.
You are technically deemed "driving" a vehicle if in control of the steering and brakes. So if you are sat in the driver's seat you have control of both of these things.
This is why you can still be prosecuted when sat at a red light with the engine running, whilst you flick through your phone. Everyone says "But i've stopped".... in the eyes of the law and the true wording you are still "driving", you don't have to be moving.
What about if your phone falls out of the cradle and you pick it up to put it back?
Why you gone with a meet the fockers trim ?
What I want to know is about Apple Watches because I get emails and text’s is it similar to phones or is it different I don’t use mine but I know people do
Police banning the use of mobile phones is purely a money raising exercise. Cars sat navs and media controls are fair more distracting than your phone.
@@freddiejones4598 Your argument is moot.
You can still be prosecuted for using a car's inbuilt system if it distracts you from driving so much that your driving is questionable, i.e you start weaving in and out lane or swerving.
As they said in a previous video - the systems should only be used on the move IF it involves a quick change, i.e pressing one button. If you have to start flicking through menu after menu and inputting an address on the car's built in infotainment system then you should pull over and stop to do so.
Nice one lad, yep we’re have some of that. Question for Dan next time your out. So it’s clear about mobile phones but what about the smart watches especially I watch how is it possible to stop that 🧐
*I don't know how you managed to do this I'd love to do something like this* 😍
Contact your local station and ask, they generally welcome the idea!
Say if you're going 5 to 10 mph above speed limit but you have good insurance MOT and everything do you still get points and also are Chameleon tints legal my tint place said it's not
Go and watch a video on gcm channel he recently done a video about exactly this. It's worth a watch.
Depends on the cop
@@Hesus_ exactly and what's the better that Joshua failed the attitude test at the roadside and that is why he's so salty
Great job PC Hamilton!!! Awesome video. I’m in the Army but have always wanted to work with the police, especially traffic/automotive side. That A4 was a beaut!! Got to have a blast in an unmarked BMW 3 series with a Police Sgt when he came to my camp a few months back, was pretty sick!! Keep up the awesome content Archie 👌🏻
Thanks 👍👍🏿👍🏼
As a biker, the new phone law is super 👍👍👍
Quality 🤙🏼
I am spending the day with MET police Quicksilver patrol Haringey to get a clear insight into the role of a police officer. I am undertaking my final police interview and will be using the experience for my interview preparation. Cannot wait….so excited🎉
Any news?
I've been in the Met for over 7 years now. Was a special constable for 2 years prior to that.
@@thefiestaguy8831 Hi, just waiting for confirmation of interview date. The recruitment process is now slowing down. I have been allocated a new buddy and she has been setting me interview preparation homework and I am doing mock interviews. I have been through a final interview in December but failed. I failed on two things…the example I gave was not recent enough and the second was about the rape case scenario…as an officer you are at a party…undercover reporter asks you about a court rape case you are currently dealing with..you accidentally release confidential info…next morning it is in the papers..what do u do? I explained a similar work scenario and explained I would expect an investigation..give my point of view..speak to all involved etc…no…I was told..you would be immediately sacked for DPA and that would be it. No investigation.
Anyway, I appealed the fail but was told no. Lots of very high ranking personnel stated that the question should never be asked to a member of the public who is untrained…the question has now been removed from the interview process..it is what it is…
I am now in full prep mode for the next attempt. I have undertaken 4 ride alongs, two with Luton and one with Herts and one with MET quick silver..I became a very popular crew member and was asked to return the next day by the officers!
The one very important skill I learnt was the use and change of tone of the voice…how it influences the outcome…Inspector Vick at Luton police station said the officers must always approach the public at a low level and never allow the voice or action to escalate to a higher level. All MET officers carry a taser, parva spray and of course cuffs. I was amazed at how proud they all were that they have never used their taser..red dotted people..but never discharged because they used the power of their voice.
I will drop you a message with the outcome. I am giving it 100% and will try to sell myself at the interview. This is what I want and it has taken time to get to this stage but sometimes things happen for a reason..I come from a recruitment background but yet failed….I hope that I am the candidate they are looking for..I can only try my best.
It is interesting though..I was in Hoddesdon on Thursday…I had a meeting with the commander then went out to the shops. I turned the corner walking along the high street and clocked two female officers entering the coffee shop for a natter. I then turned the corner by the clock tower and saw a real aggressive bare knuckle fight. The gypsy guy had scrapped his van into the side of the fancy Audi. The Audi young driver saw the damage then started to box fight. It quickly escalated and the gypsy guy got the head of the young guy in a full head lock and was using his head to smash his own Audi car window screen. I ran to the coffee shop asking for the police officers…everyone said they were getting into an unmarked car over the road. I ran to them and said there was a serious bare knuckle fight getting out of hand and very serious. The officer said ‘okay.’ They then walked the slowest pace I have ever seen…the public were going mental..people in the cafes were screaming ‘ you are police..you need to run..’ .The older officer said, ‘no we are walking.’ Everyone was screaming at the police to run. I got in the middle of this fight as they were going to kill each other..I had my handbag and told them they were both too strong and would kill each other..I told them how sad I was to see them fighting..they both stopped smashing and beating each other to a pulp and looked at me very confused..the police arrived..the new recruit looked like a ten year old. Then all of sudden all police swarmed the area of the clock tower. I thought the female officers handled the situation very badly. It was embarrassing.
I assumed the phone laws were already like that so I'm good haha. Title made me think you'd be driving though so that's a bummer
Nothing to be proud of.
can you ride with a dog unit?
The Police =biggest gang in England
Archie you should join the special constabulary then you get a uniform as well 😀
He’s look lovely dressed up
Hello again. 'Archie' what if you use your mobile phone for navigation ie Google Maps. Regards, RichardA.
It’s ok to use as a Satnav so long as it’s in a cradle or phone holder. If it’s in your have you are guilty of the offence
in a bracket / holder ...
I wonder sometimes if there should be a scheme to give out some replacement tyres for people who are unable to afford replacements. Something like a super cheapo but legal alternative like a '70s council loaf of bread. It frustrates me the general mechanical ignorance of Uk drivers, but I wonder if that would help some people not drive clearly dry rotted tyres. I used to work in an MOT centre and saw some good ones! I personally think if you can't maintain a car you should not drive it, But I understand plenty of people are in a pinch and we are in a society where some people need them to get around as the other services are so crap.
Would love to see you do a shift following an SO19 ARV just for fun lol
Considering it's Surrey that's not likely. It's also "SCO19" and has been for some time following the merger.
What If I wana use the GPS !!
is the audi modified
doing 50 in a 40 isn’t much of a problem but the tyres were shocking.
Combine the two though and you have an accident waiting to happen.
Rubbish
The total distance to stop in an emergency is a lot.
The ground u cover during reaction time, between 40 & 50, plus the extra distance to pull up between 40 and 50 is a lot.
Most definitely the difference between stopping in time, and not.
@@StephenFogarty2023 That is true however if you’re going 50 in a 40 it means the person in front of you is also going to be doing 50 or more.
I don’t condone excessive Speeding but you can go slightly over if it’s safe to do so.
@@WarrenF
It seems as though u have a raft of excuses that justify speeding ?
Just because the person in front of u is exceeding a posted speed limit, it doesn’t mean u have to.
If u r on a dual lane road, then stick left, drive to the posted speed limit.
Stay out of the way of others who might be driving at above the speed limit.
IMO driving at 50 mph in a
40 mph zone, is excessive, and u should get booked.
1 or 2 mph over is ok in good weather and light traffic, and I highly doubt u would get booked for that.
@@StephenFogarty2023 What you don't seem to understand is that the speed limit is an arbitrary value determined by some unknown person probably from the council as a cautious estimate for what any imbecile can drive at without crashing. Actual safe speeds are fluid with many different variables and "safe" is a judgement call open to debate. A skilled 30 year old driver in a new Ferrari 488 who has never crashed in good weather with no pedestrians around is a completely different scenario from a dithery 77 year old brainlet in a Clio with bald tyres and expired brake bads in rain at night. To the point where they are far more dangerous at 30 than the other guy at 50, despite which you'll claim the first guy is a danger and the second is a safe driver. I mean this video is a great example - no one would accuse the probable 80mph+ the officers were going in this video as dangerous. Why? Because we know they have a level of skill, that their cars are properly maintained and they have cars with decent stopping power. The speed limit is crafted with the idiots in mind, who can barely dress themselves let alone operate a vehicle.
I was just wondering why are they not carrying a belt or like a gun or something is that a regular thing in Great Britain?
the Police officer featured in the piece has a baton, incpacitant spray and a taser
@@nicolajaynehodson9223 Ok well thats not answering my question
Should check on leatherhead road I see loads of people on there phones MAINLY VAN DRIVERS AND 4X4's outside garrison Lane. Most locals know where your usual spots are and put there phones down around them areas
Although I live in Kent, I know the Leatherhead area of Surrey fairly well. The M25 goes round the area and so it is very busy!! We once went to a College in the area and were turning on all sorts of roads there, and I remember it was pretty hairy then!! Thank you of course anyway.
This road from Newlands Corner was 50mph until recently
Archie I ride a motorcycle, what is the law for using mobile phones and motorcycles ?
Are you a genuine police officer and if so what is your rank
Interesting to see the thin blue line union jack patch. That's very controversial here in the states.
Squeeze that spot on your ear mate 😂
Driving while on the phone connected via a Bluetooth system and hands free.
Surly spotted the same clip at the end????
Our friends live in the house opposite the junction anf he used to be CID police commander
On way to bike crash he over took a car on double solid white lines I am sure they have to turn there lights and sirens off till it’s safe
The car in front should have, but didn't.
As the Audi is unmarked and the following vehicle, it's safer to leave the lights and sirens on.
A) people don't usually expect 2 cars in tandem
B) people aren't looking for an unmarked car
Great
Being blessed with exceptional eyesight means I can spot unmarked cars from great distances. Checklist: 1) Is it a relatively new car < 6 years old. 2) Does it go fast? 150mph is probably a prerequisite 3) Is it within police budget (£30 - £45k 4) Does it have unusual, sometimes tiny lights on the grill, back bumper or by the indicators? 4) Is there a 2nd rear facing mirror? 5) Is there a central unit on the dashboard stuck to the window? 6) Are there any tiny aerials? 7) Can you see anything unusual on the parcel shelf? Stay safe and always be observant. Don't be tempted to use your dopamine addicting mobile phone.
You'd be awful at spotting unmarked cars in the force I serve in. A lot of our unmarked borough cars are cheap as chips... i.e £10-£15k tops. Typical standard unmarked Focus, or Vauxhall Astra hatchback. Some of the unmarked cars have no visible lights at all.
I drove one the other day and you really wouldn't know it was fitted with blue lights until you activated them, there were literally no giveaways at all.
None of the unmarked cars i've been in or driven in have a second mirror, none have a central unit stuck to the dashboard or the window, some of them have a DIN panel (control panel) in the centre console to control the lighting and siren, but that only lights up when the engine is on, and the unit itself is no bigger than a phone. Some just have two VERY discreet switches mounted into the roof lining, that literally just look like two buttons, one for rear lights and one for front, not labelled with anything that would give it away at all. There's nothing on any parcel shelves and very few unmarked cars have a secondary aerial.
The only unmarked car I've seen recently that is a dead giveaway is an unmarked Mondeo dog unit, Ford Mondeo estate, relatively new, 68 reg if i recall, plain colour but it's got a white dome antenna on the roof which stands out like a sore thumb and gives it away to those "that know".
@@thefiestaguy8831 Thank you for that, very interesting. I must be 20 years out of date. I'm talking about traffic cars really. I have a few friends in forces around the country, must ask them for more useful insights.
@@hollowskull4666 A lot of the unmarked cars now aren't easy to spot. Especially a lot of Kent and the Met's X5's and Skoda's, that said I drove behind an unmarked Surrey police Ford Focus hatchback a few weeks ago and knew it was an unmarked the moment I saw it. Confirmed about 10 minutes later when it spun round and stopped me, as I was unfamiliar with the area and drove into a closed retail outlet at about 11PM at night when nothing was open that wasn't brilliantly signposted.
is importing a American suv ever made known as a Ford Excursion that has an American license plate to the uk for example let's say I wanna move to the uk and I get my American car to the uk and I have an American license to drive and an American license plate and registration am I specifically allowed to drive that suv
are you a british citizen ?
are you a US citizen covered by a NATO or Uk -US SoFA provision ?
You can drive in the UK on an international license for up to 12 months, after that you must exchange it for a UK license, which usually requires you to take and pass a UK driving test.
So many cars come with hands free as standard, yet drivers won't use them hansfree is so cheap, my car will send a text without touching the phone, even voice operation.police could catch so many more.
and it's not like it's new or strange , i drive a 65 plate car and that full handsfree functionality built in using bluetooth or cabled carplay andorid /auto
is archie a police officer now or what?
Archie have you though about becoming a special constable
I Really wish more members of the public would go on these "ride alongs" to demonstrate how the police are there to Help and don't go out just to Ruin your day.👍
Looks like somebody's had a little too much to think.
Your comment is hurtful and offensive. The police will be round shortly to check your thinking.
That Officer has a high visibility jacket over his high visibility jacket
Nobody gonna mention that the video repeats at 19:00 ?
Fire up the Quatro 😁
wait they use miles per hour?
It's the UK you cretin.
Ive caught so many Responses from burpham while its change of shift but ive never cuaght you in one of the cars
What's the law regarding touch screens in cars because to me they're just as dangerous as phones in some ways having to take your eyes off the road
I think you can get done for driving without due care and attention if your looking and touching the touchscreens for a long period of time
@@WarrenF 👍
Seems only fair you should take Dan racing sometime!
Wow
I would of said he over took the silver Peugeot on a blind bend which I don't think is that safe??
I think it is....... a BRITISH UNMARKED CAR!
Road safety adverts should be more regular and the Highway code should be compulsory advertising too on all platforms. Road safety and people understanding the Highway code like the new rules on mobiles and pedestrian right of way and cyclists changes are not being advertised in a way to help people better understand them and people get confused and that causes incidents that could otherwise be avoided. I love your message of Road safety 👍 if only everyone had that attitude
We never saw you shifting your man friend!
Anyone else notice the double play at the end of the vid or am I crazy🤣
Are you changing your site name to Archie Hamilton not racing 🤣🤣
12:07 E46 M3 👍👍
Archie was sat in the back 😳
what did u expected
@@rtds2024 in a booster seat
Dan loves that car Ive caught him responding out of Burpham twice while doing spotting at change of shift and both times he was in the Audi
You sure? Burpham is in Sussex, Dan works for Surrey police. Yes I understand the two forces are partnered like Kent and Essex are but usually they'd deploy from their own forces base. I'm in a different UK force and we don't really have a "partner" as such although we do work closely with another neighbouring force.
lad ye fed
Question, Why do UK officers not carry a firearm?
idk to can you pls tell us
Because they very rarely have to deal with firearms - gun crime is uncommon here. They carry batons /cs gas/ taser routinely instead. There are dedicated specialist firearms officers (ARUs) armed with sidearms and carbines that attend the rarer dangerous calls.
Great insight Archie. As a fellow cyclist my closest calls have been with people overtaking from the opposite direction or cutting corners on hairpins. Nice to see the traffic plods policing that aspect too.
You shouldn't be on the road
Where the Sitting up !!!! pulling over drivers for speeding doing 5 over a speed limit or pulling driver over for crossing a white line its not realistic at all
19:04 - Sloppy edit lad
Interesting. He sits quite close to the steering wheel. Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong.
