You can see the cop in the back cringe when he slams the baton on the door like that. I couldn't stop laughing.

Matey with the white shirt and earring thought he was in a bad cop drama. "I WANT SOME IDENTIFICATION! I WILL SPEAK TO YOU HOW I WANT! YOU'RE AT MY STATION..."
Yeah the Bill 😂😂💯👍
Good for him! Right on.
@@disneyfanatic9658 uh...... i don't think so lmao
Good policing, using strong verbal skills to intimidate a suspect. Only the most hardened street minds can withstand such verbal confrontation; most people would just fold and comply.
@@ralphrepo except hes not a copper
The ticket man in the creased white shirt so badly wants a corporal stripe.
Saw one documentary where on national rail a revenue protection officer was gloating on charging a woman over a hundred and fifty pounds as she made mistake on date of ticket. He bullied her into paying on the spot when he had no duristriction to do so. She wasn't fare evading it was a mistake which should of been dealt with better.
Yeah their attitude is appaling, all inspectors think they got authority over anyone else and can shit on people how they like.. about this is my station
@@vincitveritas3872 duristriction , i think you mean jurisdiction, but frankly i m a judge dredd fan, shoot them on the spot. lol
Oh I remember ticket inspectors like him when I lived in the South of England. They'd stop trains and keep the doors locked until BTP arrived over a hungover teen without a £3.20 ticket.
I couldn't believe the difference when I moved to Wales, so much more relaxed! They actually listen to people like human beings if someones made a mistake or if they've got no money they'll turn a blind eye. It's like night and day.
Where I used to live if you got on a train without a ticket or permit to travel they'd try and fine you straight away. Where I am now noone buys a ticket before getting on the train (no machines or if there is one people aren't used to it) Everyone travelling on the trains round here recently have been getting free travel cuz there's no guards or anything cuz if the 'rona.
@@fads6645 Your station? Really mr failed policeman, do you have the deeds to prove that this is your station? No? Oh you mean it's not your station? So you were committing fraud by misrepresentation? I'm so sorry you never the part of an extra in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Now fuck off you fake twat. Lol.
The Irony of the Rastafarian Ticket Tout caught with extra tickets being 5p short for the Bus to bet home was priceless.
If only he had a ticket!
The undercover in the white shirt is like a budget version of Danny Dyer.
Danny Dyer is a budget version of himself
Isn't Danny Dyer about as budget as you can get??
Ahh,cmon! Hes much better looking than Danny! boseyed and fat! ROFLMAO!
And a wanker to boot!!
Definitely voted Leave.

Daniel Halpin (born 1985), also known as Tox, is a British graffiti writer. He has found fame for adding his tag, always simply the word Tox followed by a number indicating the year, in a very large number of locations across the London Underground network and walls around London and Glasgow.[1] He was convicted of criminal damage in June 2011[2] and imprisoned after a history of ignoring ASBOs. Prosecutor Hugo Lodge told the court: "He is no Banksy. He doesn't have the artistic skills, so he has to get his tag up as much as possible." After his trial Ben Eine, another graffiti artist, criticised his work, saying: "His statement is Tox, Tox, Tox, Tox, over and over again." he said that the tags are "incredibly basic" and lacking "skill, flair or unique style". A sentence of 27 months was later passed, the judge commenting "There is nothing artistic about what you do".[3]
Banksy created a mural in Camden Town, close to Halpin's home, showing a small boy blowing bubbles that formed the Tox tag[4] after his imprisonment. It is not clear whether the image was a sign of support or further criticism of his simplistic style.
huh. cool. thanks for the info. yeah that's not really original like, make really art something cool looking at the very least. Nice paintings or whatever. Hire em to paint stuff maybe? One area I knew had murals done, and people do not tag them (typically).
So he is 33 yr old going to the undrground putting tox01/tox02/tox03/tox04

Clearly a desk-boy out in the city for the first time, as he heard the cameras were coming that day.
Big man... Very big man.

These ticket inspectors treat people like dirt and then wonder why they get assaulted. This "my station" line gives the power trip game away.

You have no idea about safety.
@@TUTENSKENGSwhat?
If have fuckin knocked his fat ass out if hed spoken to me like that!
I mean he’s doing his job
Man, those ticket inspectors seem like nasty people on a power trip..
Except they have sod all power and you could simply walk away. There isn't a thing they could do. They have no powers to detain you at all, they cannot even stand in front of you. I don't agree with dodging fares but thats taking the piss completely.
Well the more intimidating the better in a ticket inspector job
He's on tv, probably playing up for the camera. Can you imagine the amount of shit they get everyday. They can't be timid in that job.
I've bunked trains 🚂 many times, as a kid & adult. Although I don't do it much these days, too many computers 💻 & electric gates.
Cellar Door when you ever had a ticket inspector who's lovely and accommodating, if you have bunked the fair??
Fuck I’m from London and these people are assholes
Looks like MC Grindah got himself a job as a ticket inspector... good lad.

Lol! not only one to think the same! "tune into 108.9 Kurupt FM the rest are irrelevant" whilst giving someone a ticket

Can't the judges send him to "DE-Tox"?..... :)
LMAO!
Omg this made laugh hard 😂😂😂
Great pun bro
I know its a year to late but very good sir. Andy England 🇬🇧👍😂🤣
Ticket inspection people need a ego check
Thank God I am not one. I would crack their bones.
This is 17/18 years old, I seem to remember watching this when it was on tv.
You know it's a few years back, when a Cavalier is in the background.
Seeing all the old adboards are so nostalgic
Season 2 was filmed in 2003/4 I think. Season 1 was filmed in Summer 2002 and Season 3 was filmed in 2005.
These children that scribble everywhere should be fined a minimum £10000 everytime they get caught.
PompeyChris71 they cantbstart by fining you for this stupid comment okay
@Ian Brown WTF does that even mean? Seek mental help.
No, £100000000000000000 pounds
You cant fine someone something they cant pay. Debt doesnt work like that. If they dont have the cash, they cant get anything off you.
TheFreshSpam Yes exactly, which is why they should be placed in a compulsory program to clean off what they’ve defaced. It would drive home the point much further than a fine they’ll never pay.
That segment were they showed the young offenders putting up the mural would have been more apt for him.
Bet that Tox guy is having a laugh watching this video. :))))))
7:50 - you on my station?
he owns the station does he?
Actually, he was about to say 'you're in my country' lol
BEDI V u will, you have to pay, why do people expect to get free travel
The ticket man in the white shirt thinks he comes across as a hardman. He actually comes across as a complete 🔔 end.
lmao I went to London for 2 weeks and took the metro everyday and never once have I come across a ticket inspector.
@Cadefero literally. I always pay for my journeys, the one time my oyster was low on money after a long day at college, I bumped the bus for 3 stops on a route I've never seen inspectors...and they showed up, in a group of 15-20 with police officers
I've personally never seen a ticket inspector on the tube and I use it 3-6 days a week
they havent been around since oyster was introduce, everyone uses contactless now and theres no tickets
@@PoilyGames there are around, check out fare dodgers on channel 5
this video is quite old, we have oysters now
The cop raises his arm as if to say “alright mate calm down it’s not a bloody enforcer Jesus”
That undercover fake wanna be police guy in the white top really needs a slap. If he spoke to me like that i would slap him to the next station.
And you'd end up in prison, or with a major fine. Sounds like a plan...
Army of Romanians Professional Pickpockets operating everywhere in London,they work in groups of 3-4 and will play some theatre around you distracting you,your purse is gone,you noticing when they left,be on guard people.😇
Yes and they also do gown the tubes leaving a piece of paper by each person begging for money and then come back and collect the paper. never give them any money.
They sure get around, one week in one area then moving on elsewhere. I recognised a group on the bus once-they've not tried begging from me since
‘This is my station’ no it’s not, you just work there.

Did A-Stock trains run through Kensington?
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed
we must respect those who died in the disaster
R. I. P
“It’s the police, can you open the door please” so polite! Lol what if the guy came to the door and said “no thank you”?
The Police have the right to "open by force" using whatever tool is necessary.
They would open the door by force, probably using the 'big red key' which is a battering ram.
11:33 that nokia 3310... Not quite sure was it for communication or self defense??? . LOL... 😂
This film's been recorded in the early 2000s you muppet.
There is alot of country's that can learn how to treat respect people like they do in UK America and Canada plus others can learn alot thanks to all the staff who protect the people and tourest of the UK and l feel more safe to go here then to USA or other country's 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇲
I'm just wondering about the wisdom of telling Tox's story. These guys are in it for the notoriety. Many an aspiring graff artist will be inspired.
I think he is likely in prison or moved on by now. This episode was over a decade ago
@@icarus_falling He's dealing NOS these days
www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/notorious-graffiti-artist-caught-selling-2111073
@@icarus_falling Oh... so he's moved on? Well that must mean graffiti is dealt with. Great stuff.
@@vdotme He went to prison, but for awhile he actually started to sell canvases with his tags for 75 quid a pop. His real name is Daniel Halpin. Selling tags with his canvas is, in my view, much more productive than damaging other people's property, or even Government property.
What an extremely rude ticket inspector! No-one needs people like her.
Both of them the bloke as well. Strange because he wouldn’t speak like that outside the job because he knows he will get a slap
He is a very strong one he knows when situation get out of hands he is right there don’t ever try to get out of trouble from him he gave you every-time this is a lesson if you do not bring id when asked you going no where.
Why the man in the white shirt so aggressive it’s not his station and he has no right to search anybody or detain him.
In the USA, city hire independent contractors to clean up the graffiti. Interesting thing is that those contractors hire local gangsters to do the graffiti. No graffiti no easy money for them. What those contractors do? They brush some paint on the graffiti.
Isn't this the same thing that happened in India with the snakes?
"stonks" 🤣
It's funny, in Taiwan where the price of a ticket is 50p no-one fare dodges. Well one it's the culture but also it's a fair price and is a much nicer train network to me. Also when i did do the london train, i went to heathrow but went up the wrong line to rayners lane then had to wait to get back to acton town, 2 trains didn't come so i was late by about 15 minutes to where i should have been, this charged me another ticket without me even knowing until i looked at my bank balance. Taiwan you can be in the train system for 2 hours without being charged another ticket. Anyway at least TFL refunded me after emailing them but it would be nice to know there's a time limit by posting it in obvious places
Im not surprised that the U.K. lacks in public transportation than even more poor country (not a diss)
But that has to happen, when you use most of the public's tax money on military upgrades.
Or use the money for lobbying laws that protects big corps like the few guys who runs the U.K.'s public transport, so they can raise fare prices without delivering a better experience.
@@blameTheDane The govenrment wants the subsidies on the udnerground to be as small as possible, hence it has one of the smallest subsidies in Europe.
Same in NYC
One you enter the system you won’t have to pay again unless you go back to the street
@@Stefan-jk5gx They don't receive *any* subsidies for day-to-day costs if I'm not mistaken. The GLA or DfT can decide to pay for new infrastructure, but operational costs have to be covered by fares.
@WorldAviation 4K Taipei's MRT has much more significant subsidies, and (because the network is smaller and more modern) each passenger costs less to move. The PPP- and subsidy-adjusted fare to go a comparable distance on the Tube is not that expensive.
Lol I remember seeing Tox everywhere on the tube
Camden Town! My old neighborhood when I use to live in London. That place is ridiculous and I loved it there. 😂
A few years after this program was made;
I was visiting Royal Leamington Spa PSB (Network Rail), as part of my duties, and across the tracks and station there was a derelict site with screenings boards all around it.
On the Railway side, hidden from the road, were several vandals (now called artists!!) tagging the boards.
I called the local Police in the hope they could catch these vandals and associate them with their tags that "decorate" the Railway and lineside structures.
But guess what; PC Plod was not interested; easier ways to fill their quotas with speeding tickets!! without the hard work!!
Jobsworth
I'm so happy there's a second series! Does anyone know how many they made?
A total of twenty-one episodes exist.
S1 had seven, S2 had six and S3 had eight.
This is an entertaining series😊👍👏👏👏
Thank you for keeping us safe underground
17:35 I love that ticket geeza, proper Danny Dyer vibes 😂😂
Those ticket inspectors have the most pointless job but act like they are special lol.
Thanks for letting us know!!
6:40 That lotr poster :D
Choo choo! Time for the train show :D love this show :D
It isn’t a steam engine though so there is no choo choo.
Are we just going to ignore that hand at 12:48
Haha crap attempt at photo bombinging aye 🤣
Oh Edgware Road station! The memories here aghhh
I remember the TOX tag. It was literally everywhere you went in London.
The days when the underground was staffed
I’ve not been to London in a decade. How has it changed?
At 22:03, you can see a copper sitting under the tox tag!!
The white shirt ticket inspector is a bit too aggressive tbh.
I Seen a Tox 22 tag west of Acton Town on the Piccadilly line’s Heathrow branch at Acton District line depot a few days ago. I also seen a couple of Tox 22’s east of Ealing Broadway on the Elizabeth line as well well I think he’s back until he gets caught and given a CBO order
I don't think grafiti is a crime if it's done nicely it's an art.
Plot twist the train driver is tox
£10 penalty fare there's no way this is recent the penalty fare since 2016 has been like £50
That's because you're an idiot.
11:32 Nokia 3310! That thing probably still has about 60% battery today!
😂😂😂😂
😂
LOL
It’s a bit of paint😂 reminds me of the cctv guy in hot fuzz and the crusty jugglers
Tox is watching this with the biggest smile on his face.
what I don't understand is why it's such an issue of ppl don't wanting to show stuff to the ticket inspectors... in my country each train in the country is manned by 2 or more inspectors checking tickets, if you don't have a proper ticket you get the chance to pay the ticket price plus fine on the train, if you don't want to you get escorted off the train at the next station and waited on by either railway police or the national police and you'll have to pay an even higher fine... if not, you'll get prosecuted... and get a criminal record... a few years ago things changed to the point that you can't enter or exit most stations without a legal ticket (the gates check the dates on the tickets automatically to see if they're legit or not)
Probably because the bloke was being aggressive and a total cock, power trip
Bloke in white top got his met police application refused lol
So whats wrong with the old dude selling tickets? As long as theyre real and been paid for, it should be fine. thats capatilism.
RedstoneRelic Re-selling tickets inflate prices.
Awesome. So that's how London's Subways look cleaner than most American Subway services. Apparently Philadelphia's Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford El has a bad graffiti problem in their tunnels and New York's subway tunnels have an even worse problem.
well you've given Tox exactly what he wants! Well done
He was imprisoned back in 2011.

Im sure tox is going to split while on bail. Hes not going to stick around. After all that searching , time, investigation and capturing and hes let go, wow.
Oh I bet if Banksy did one it would all be OK
At least Bansky creates "meaningful" art, and not just rude words.
And worth loads a money
Hard job fare dodging graffiti and the public get lumbered with the cost through fare increases
This is actually hilarious. Everyone thinks they are in a drama. THIS MAN HAS BEEN CAUGHT WITHOUT A TICKET!!! SOMEONE CALL THE COPS!!!

I’m proud of the police in London for cracking down on people who have no qualms about spraying graffiti
on Tube carriages! This scourge needs to stop. Seriously.
Tox 04 on top of the bus with what looks like a policeman sitting underneath it lol!
Artists? No. Thieves that steal everyday from the hard working men and women who pay their fare, don't wreck the place and do life well. Those poor blokes breathing those toxic cleaning fumes every night. Actually, it's evil.
What if Banksy tagged the underground?
That would greatly raise its value
Graffiti on Australian trains is mainly done by scratching into the windows instead of spray paint. You wouldn't be able to get onto any train without seeing graffiti in the windows
This episode in particular is funny because it shows a time before cards really took off and the ticket apps were only beginning to become a concept. I don't think the paper ticket system will be missed by the police all things considered.
they think they have the right to see peoples ID lol. The cops also illegally driving an car without plates on
I had to look hard but it does have a plate on, just blurred to match the colour of the rest of the car, 15:47 is a good example of this where the other car appears not to have a reg, also 16:23 - the red honda has a front reg but after the red focus drives past, it's covered up. Pretty good editing in my opinion, very subtle you can only tell if you know what you're looking for.
The good old days, when there was actually investment in enforcing laws. Imagine a vandal being held on remand and prosecuted these days.
Those ticket inspectors came straight out of a comedy sketch.
The ticket inspectoros are commiting a criminal offense
I swear to god if a ticket inspector acted up on me like that just cos he got a camera crew and officers nearby....
9:16 "Have you been rewarded?" strange coincidence...
Yoooo get em TOX! Lol these guys.....just puttin on a show for the camera haha wow...
“If I saw him I’d giv him a kicking” crazy the amount of stuff you could get away with saying back in the day, he’d be out of a job if this was made in 2019.
Question is: How is the police keep London in general running?
Spoiler: They don't.
I have never has any problems on the underground.
A few people tried to cause me problems - they learned more in 30 seconds than they learned up to that time in their life.
Aw, they missed out a special one off episode between Season 1 & 2 broadcast on TV :(
We have a similar graffiti problem in Kamloops’ North Shore with the “Rotten Hood” guy
"Problem"? How is having art and culture a Problem?
I wonder if these touts still exist nowadays with oyster card and contactless
Touts, not fare dodgers.
@M K I had that almost happen to me, fucker pushed me as I was entering with my opal card (Australias version of oyster card) so I socked him in the face and kept going
