Astute observations, really enjoy your commentary.
You the best man! Appreciate you 🙏🏽
When someone says i can see you're upset they are giving the person talking to them a few seconds to gather their thoughts and communicate better. The call handler can tell theyre agitated and acknowledging that can help. I think they're trained for that as part of their basic communication skills.
There trying to keep them calm.
I remember Andrew Harper: he was 28 Policeman died after being dragged behind car for a mile,
I think he assumed the dispatch was being sarcastic 😂
theyalso usually say that after the caller has reported the situation, they do start the call with some sort of "what is your emergency", and after the initial assessment then they will try to have a more calmer talk to the caller so that the caller can feel less stress and maybe remember details that could be missed when stressed out.
If the caller is distressed, then giving some empathy will actually elicit more detailed information and quicker
The "zig zags" are each side of a pedestrian crossing.....cars are not permitted to park within the zig zags to ensure good visibility for approaching cars and crossing pedestrians
I thought they were for taxi drivers to park on :)
@@iannorton2253
@@iannorton2253 the taxi rank lines are yellow I think
I was being sarcastic @@callum4796
You forgot the second part of the road code - overtaking (like parking) on "zig zags" is strictly prohibited :) . It has sense because the most serious accidents on the pedestrian crossing are while overtaking cars which stopped and give pedestrians way
I once was a passenger when my friend got pulled over by the police. We had just finished work and gone to fill up the car with petrol (gas). When my friend started driving again, she had forgotten to turn on her headlights. It was after 3am. The police pulled us over, looked at our shocked faces, couldn't smell alcohol and laughed at us. We had realised when she pulled over the headlights were off. At least the police were good about it and had a laugh with us
That sounds like the UK police
With the UK police much more focused on communication skills to de-escalate situations then the US, it's no wonder that more of that bleeds through into other interactions with suspects (and the public in large), to present a friendlier image then what you would get in say America, where more emphisis is placed instead on threatening escalation (firearms) to subdue a suspect.
UK police are nothing special, they use bullying tactics to intimidate the public and don’t actually stop crime at all. I’d rather have the US cop 🤷🏼♂️
Definitely not in West Yorkshire 🙈 they just arrest autistic children for words nowadays.
To right buddy
@Michelle-vu3fe it's a bit hard when you guys presume we're all American when online, and bombard us with your politics and lives - it's a bit hard to not take notice and then form an opinion.
Additionally, your country, at last estimate, had about 335 million according to your own Census Bureau - you're off by about 55 million people.
@Michelle-vu3fe also, you're commenting on a video on an American commenting on the UK and police training in the UK. Why would we not then compare how police are here to the US, where the RUclipsr is from.
The provlem with drink drivers is that they loose all concept of reality and reasoning. I've actually taken the spark plug leads off a mates car because I knew he would try to drive while he was really drunk. No point in trying to talk sense with these people.
💯 and they get so defensive that they are good to drive
I know there's a fair number of people in the UK who wouldn't dob their friends/relatives in for pretty much anything but drink driving is an exception. It's an absolutely stupid thing to do which could lead to so many deaths of innocent people - as well as the idiot themselves. Somehow it always seems to be the innocent people who die in these situations though.
You're his best mate, even if he doesn't know it!....@coot1925
I’m from the UK, the officers chasing the red fiesta were not armed, armed police in the UK are rare to see. They are normally called for organised crime or for people suspected of carrying a firearm. Even if someone is carrying a knife, armed police are not usually called unless they are the closest unit. Police chases usually consist of 3 TPAC vehicles and a dog unit, more units are called depended on how dangerous the situation is. These officers may be carrying a taser but although tasers are becoming more and more popular with the police most police do not have them. I found out that officers have the choose if they wish to carry a taser or not, so most officers will only carry them if they believe it’s integral to their safety on that shift. This means many officers still don’t carry them. Hope this helps
There were armed officers there, the BMW SUV which ends up blocking at the very end is armed police; one of them is the guy smashing the front windscreen. I believe the unmarked BMW SUV was also armed response.
Whilst what you say is correct; firearms are rarely used, unfortunately due to an ever increasing under-staffing and under-funding problem, armed police units are being used for more regular calls. Many police forces have merged their firearms units with other units, sometimes this could be with the Dog Section, or sometimes the Roads Policing unit.
It's unfortunate, really. Many years ago, a firearms unit meant it was a firearms incident, now they've having to be called in for all kinds of incidents just to ensure someone can respond..
It's most likely here though that the firearms units were called in because of their advanced driving skills, which are the only ones with higher levels of driver training other than roads policing.
Rare to see armed police? You must live in the middle of nowhere 🤣
@@Perseus7567 they are not armed police they are under cover lol...they were hitting the windows with the battern, they will only call armed officers if really serious not for a car chase 🙈
@@LigmaBawls457 they are rare bro even in London
@@anditooo1271well London clearly needs more being the capital for all the foreigners lol. Preston we see tac ops all the time u spud 🤣
The biggest difference between US and UK police is training. Its around 2 years of stringent training to be a uk police officer. It varies state to state in America but it goes from 2 to 6 months.
And two further years intensive training to work in the firearms divisions. The police shoot dead 1/80th the number of people each year here, compared to the USA. That figure is population-size adjusted.
If you DUI in the UK, you WILL lose your licence and will likely run the risk of losing your job, depending what you do. Likely for 2 years and have to sit an extended driving test, and have a lot of questions about it. It's also listed as a criminal act, which would mess up security clearance and how people view your integrity. A lot of employment requires a clean driving licence and you'd end up fecked basically. I know in the Military, you're screwed if you do it. Speeding stays on your licence for 3 years, I think drink driving stays for 7 until spent as it's not a driving offence, but a criminal one. Even then I think some insurance companies insist on declarations of DUI convictions up to 10 years in the UK. I certainly wouldn't fancy a DUI on my wrap sheet.
I have dangerous driving, speeding etc on mine from when I was a dumb teenager on a motorbike, but that was 20 years ago and rack it up to 'young, dumb and fulla cum' and the cop got annoyed I could get my knee down round a roundabout. Only thing that saved my licence was I wrote a lovely letter to the Judge explaining I was deploying in 6 weeks and needed my licence to work overseas. They're all spent now and I drive like a grandad lol.
Young people drive and ride like they're invincible. Trust me, you aren't. Never give a police officer a reason to either visit your, or someone else's family to explain how they died. If you think it'd be traumatic for the cop, imagine what it'd be like for the family. Fuck it, so what if you're 2 minutes later?
Drink driving also shows up forever on protection of vulnerable groups (Scottish version of disclosure) not sure if it shows up in the English on
TPAC (Tactical Pursuit and Containment) officers are highly skilled drivers that are trained to bring a pursuit to a safe stop using any means necessary. Their most popular method is the box manuever which aims to corner the suspect on busy stretches of road. The stinger is deployed on less populated areas of road. Laising with officers using detailed methods of communication is key to bringing an end to the pursuit before suspect "decamps" which means that suspects are ditching the vehicle and are fleeing on foot.
Why do you think it's an electric vehicle? Never said it was an electric car. The geezer in the police control centre was trained very well. The British way is to be polite and friendly. To be calm and respectful. I know most Americans don't get this approach but it is far better. The US ones are just rude and intimidating. Not sure why the American police don't have any manners. It's like they all seem to think they are military drill instructors.
I think by the way it sounded I thought it was electric
Remember, we have smaller engines with more power in comparison due to stupid "environmental" laws the federal government have in America
The confusion came from when the car they were chasing was called a motor car. This is just an old name for any car / automobile in the UK. Shout to our US brothers and sisters ❤️ 🇬🇧🇺🇲
uk police are trained to rushin hard and fast so the thieves have little time to react and a lot of shouting
the left side IS the right side
Yup. Left is right and right is wrong. I guess that kinda applies to politics as much as it does to driving lol 😆
The historical reason behind passing others on the left goes back to fighting, or jousting, when you passed on the left, so your dominant (usually) right hand was closest to those passing you, for defense. As our history of transport & travel goes back millennia, rather than just a couple of centuries, it is engrained in our society to travel this way. I believe the USA also passed on the left originally.
@@shininglightphotos1044 No, lances point to the left. Pass left in peace, right to fight.
In general, the police don't carry guns in the uk but there are specially trained units that carry guns like counter terrorism or airport security
Or the armed response units (Armed police/ Firearm officers.)
Riding on the left goes way back before cars, it was so you had your sword hand ready for oncoming.
🤯
@@DezzReacts It's not just the UK that drives on the left theirs over 40
About a third of the world's drivers drive on the left. @@samtaylor3638
Japan drives on the left.
@@catalinacurio They do, and many others.
Here in Scotland one drink can put you over the drink drive limit. It was severely lowered a few years back. Not sure the exact number off the top of my head but I know one pint can be too much for some folk
The number in Scotland is zero, you can be under the limit in England, drive over the border and be over the limit. In Scotland this stops people i know driving on a Sunday, just in case they are still at detectable limits after a wee dram on Saturday night
The number is not zero. It's a zero policy but not a zero number. It's 22mg/ breath and 50mg/blood. I don't know anyone who would have any drink and then drive afterwards now and my workmate calls me for a lift to work if she's had a bevy on a Sunday night.
@Jinty92 not quite correct. It's 22ug (as in microgrammes) in 100ml of breath.
Equates to 50mg ( milligrammes) in 100ml of blood). Same as 0.05 %BAC in US terms.
22ug in Scotland but 35ug in England so could still be okay all the way to the border soon as you cross it your over the limit.
It's good because people are less likely to drink and drive knowing that the limits are so narrow. It should be like this everywhere
He's showing empathy and being polite!!
Weed in the UK is illegal, but the police don't care unless you make it a problem. They are far too busy dealing with drunks to bother with otherwise law-abiding people.
There tactic is to basically bounce on the car in a super fast speed. This creates a shock scenario where everything goes down before the person in the vehicle can even react to what’s happening it all goes down so quick
I think it’s harder for US police to box vehicles in due to the width of your roads. Most UK roads are narrow compared to the US meaning there is less room for a bandit to try and manoeuvre around the police cars.
Has nothing to do with width of the roads. It's about containing the car.
@@barbaradyson6951 which is harder, on a wider road. are you slow or something?
@@barbaradyson6951🤦🏻♀️
Uk police would still tpsc on a runway trust me
@@HappyDragneels_page It's simply better training, and lack of gun culture.
Better training allows them to put on such box manouvers with less risk than just ramming the suspect vehicle. Boxes are safer than PITs, and it takes more training to pull off a successful box.
The lack of guns also means there's no fear about getting in front of the suspect and becoming exposed. In the US, if you overtook a suspect, and they had a gun, they're going to target you first because you're in front of them and exposed, so police tend to stay behind, where they have the upper hand.
Driving on the left goes back to mediaeval times when travelling on horseback was dangerous and as people were mostly right handed to keep the sword arm free to protect yourself from robbers. They also drive on the left in Australia and Jamaica etc about 30% of countries drive on the left.
It also makes sense driving, your dominant hand is doing the steering, your weak hand the gears. Why anyone drives left-handed is beyond me.
Including in the Bahamas
This is probably a myth as robbers would most probably strike from cover at the side of the road. People tended to ride/drive in the middle when they could as that was the firmest ground.
The reason it became law was that cart and coach drivers (being mainly right handed) almost all the time used a whip with their right hand, it was to protect pedestrians from being struck that the rules were to drive on the left to put the whip away from pedestrians and this spread from the congested towns and cities to all of the country.
@morestupidforms USA mostly drive automatics so no changing gears.
@@rachaelsumner5623Kiddie cars?
The call handler was talking to the emergency switchboard who gave him the call, he was asking whether he had any other info for him.
legal limit is 35, they're automatically arrested, taken to police station kept in a cell untill sober and cannot be charged until sober. He will lose his license for min a year
It goes back to medieval times about 90%of population was right handed
To add more detail...
1) So we could use our swords and weapons to charge at the enemy.
2) So we could safely dismount.
Makes more sense nowadays as well. When changing gear you keep your right hand on the steering wheel which is usually the dominant hand and therefore better control.
England goes forward on the left side.your sword is worn on the left so your right arm is free to draw your sword if you meet any unsavoury characters on your travels if your sword was worn on the right you may be disabled before you could draw it..that's why we still drive forward on the left side of the road today
There's also a more scientific reason. Right-handed typically means right-eye dominant, so left-side drivers have their good eye facing traffic. This translates to more situational awareness and faster response times.
@@cmlemmus494 I don't think they new about science in king Arthur and the knights of the round table days ..😂😂
Yeh, they're armed, with a metal stick - but no firearms. If these clowns had stolen the car in the States, they'd have been shot at the conclusion of the pursuit.
There were some armed police units there, specifically the unmarked BMW SUV, and the marked BMW SUV that finally blocks the fiesta in.
We have firearm units that patrol just like normal police, any call to do with a knife, sword or firearm they are called to deal with it, highly trained usually ex military if not special forces
Having lived in York for over 20 years, I wouldn't say it was rife with bad behaviour or a bad city. It is one of the more beautiful old cities we have in the UK. People move to places like York and North Yorkshire to get away from crims and crime... saying that, you can get crap happen anywhere.
also it's Yorkshire the area not York the city it's not a small place
😂😂 North as some of the worsed most deprived towns & cities! York is probably been lucky, but its gradually going to get worsed with how we are going, government needs your accommodation! We've ran out.
Some parts of York are an absolute shambles.
The centre of York is nice it's surrounded by council estates crime is rife
Bikes fetch good. Money in York
Cops in the UK are trained to de-escalate a situation. It’s different in the US because anyone could be carrying a gun that could kill them. So they haven’t got time to ‘chat’ just neutralise any threat. I am glad that firearms are restricted in the UK, after all we know that if the government wanted to take us over small arms won’t make any difference.
Saying 'I can tell you're upset' etc is just a way of expressing empathy, of saying 'I understand'.
York is a historical city, lots of narrow cobble roads and heavy pedestrian/tourist centre. They smash the windows to disorient the driver and prevent them to see properly if they tried to make off again. There was probably no armed police unless the suspects have previous or suspected to have knives or weapons, etc. It's rare they'd ram a suspect like that but guess they considered it more than necessary. DUI's are taken really seriously in the UK now. UK alcohol limit is only 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
35 in England ,not, UK. It's 22 in Scotland which has a zero tolerance policy and the message is, if you have had anything to drink....don't drive.
Just to add some extra info - 35 micrograms is the same as 0.08 in america.
The zigzag lines you mentioned are only really near something like a crossing. Which in the video there was a Zebra Crossing. They are basically saying don't park there. Parking there is illegal as it blocks the view of cars of potential pedestrians coming toward the crossing.
Your expression when you saw all that weed was exactly the same as mine. That would sort me out for at least a week.
😂 said a week
You might wonder if it is everyone in the UK being nice, or that the normal mindset of people in the USA is kind of usually unfriendly? I think it is the latter.
Imagine being in the house where the cops swarmed all over the pavement, and seeing that out of your window 🙂
I be jealous of those ppl frfr I would be peekin thru the blinds being nosey lol
@@DezzReacts 🙂🙂
My nephew is a Police Interceptor & is highly trained in tactical pursuits, organised crime gangs, advanced first aid, taser etc. My uncle was a traffic cop too before he retired.
York is a nice place to visit. I got up at dawn and walked up to York Minster, there was a choir singing already inside but the streets were empty. I sat outside listening it was lovely.
UK alcohol limit is going to be defined differently from the US because of the metric system. It’s 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, while I think in the US and down here in Australia it’s a straightforward percentage (0.05 percent in Oz). I think it works out about the same or maybe a bit higher in the UK, but then drunk driving in the UK will usually result in a big fine and an instant licence suspension of at least 12 months and maybe 18. For a first offence.
12 months minimum ban first offence. I think the 2nd Drink Drive offence inside 10 years of first is minimum 36 months ban.
In England & Wales, the alcohol limit is same as in the US. The US have 0.08 %BAC as its measure...same as our 80mg in 100ml of blood when we have take blood not breath eg at hospital following RTC.
22ug per 100ml in Scotland (which I think is the same as most of Europe).
I’m a Yorkshire girl - although I don’t live in York I am a regular there with work so know the streets very well. It has a population of about 142k. Its a very old city so the streets get narrower and windier as you get into the city centre and there are Roman walls to navigate round as well as other ancient and historical monuments plus numerous pedestrian only areas. It would have been disastrous to let the chase get into the centre.
I know you were shocked the police smashed the car windows but that was to disorientate the driver and passengers in order to get them under control easier. The training the traffic police have to undergo is extensive and far exceeds any training you get in the US.
Drink and drug driving is frowned upon and morally unacceptable. The book gets thrown at you if you drink/drug drive. You are disqualified from driving for a minimum of 12 months and may have to re-take your test. Car insurance companies won’t want to touch you with a barge pole.
My husband and daughter were involved in a serious RTC in North Yorkshire caused by a cocaine addled driver who decided to overtake numerous cars on a bend. The driver went to prison for 18 months (thats all that the Judge could send him to jail for as he got credit for a guilty plea and the maximum sentence for dangerous driving was 2 years). He was also disqualified from driving for 5 years. 5 and a half years on from the date of the accident and the civil proceedings for damages for personal injury have still not been finalised. The driver’s insurers accept liability but are haggling over what the damages payout should be. Its a disgrace.
Amazingly able to stop a car without resorting to shooting the driver dead.
Love the fact America is now watching our police but when it comes to some things like what side of the road to drive on how old is America to Britain
They would have stomped the window screen at 13:40 to obstruct the occupants view,
Cant continue to drive if they cant see anything through the shattered window
There's no point in being angry once the suspect has been arrested. That's one of the things we find the most distasteful about the US police - the way they have someone on the flor in cuffs and they're still being violent and screaming in their face.
There are Armed Response Units (ARUs). Also Yorkshire is pronounced York-sure. Shire on its own is pronounced Shire, like Shire Horse.
Similar to how the US pronounce New Hampshire
@@michellerhodes5720 Yep, I think I remember hearing the same thing from an American couple that I watch (after I mentioned how it is pronounced in their comments).
Hey Dezz, gotta correct ya here. Us Brits are definitely NOT passive-aggressive, we are sarcastic and ironic while maintaining a polite, gentlemanly demeanor (at leat most of us 😜)
Our police are not worried about opening a car door because we have tight gun laws, and the possibility of there being a gun is 1 in a million.
Here in the UK apparently we drive on the other side of the road from the USA is because in the past the horse coach / wagon driver sat and used his whip in their right hand. This meant it was far from the pedestrian walkway so no chance of them being hit! PS no the police don't carry guns at all unless in a very special and rare armed response team.
In the uk we call it being civil, this helps to assure the victims that we understanding of the situation, so of course the officer is going to say something reassuring
Driving the right hand side originated from passing people ( on horse or foot ) to your left hand side so making it easy to draw your sword or knife , ( usually worn on the left hand side,) to defend yourself
The BMW SUV you see putting the red car into the wall during the first chase is likely to be armed, their was 2 armed cars in that case, one marked and the other was the black unmarked.
You have to remember the British are shocked by the behaviour of us police British police have a much more human approach 😎👍
left side of the road is the correct side as most people are right handed and back in the day you kept left so your sword hand was free , we have armed police , the black x5 was probably firearms police and they smash cars up to try shock you
The really bad one like Crack and heroine are class A
Weed used to be class C but they bumped it up to class B
Smh weed never hurt anybody
@@DezzReacts Medical cannabis IS legal in the UK but it must be prescribed by a specialist doctor and obtained from licenced clinics (typically 30-60 grams of flowers per month). BUT this is only for certain medical conditions and only after traditional treatment has failed.
You might find it interesting to react to some videos on UK cannabis laws - it became legal only in 2018, so even some of the police don't know.
The UK is not the Disneyland that you imagine. UK police do not routinely carry guns, but they all carry flamethrowers.
Your in a prime position to highlight the differences between American and U.K. Police, although it’s two different cultures, so requires two different policing styles. Be the enquiring mind with a moral compass, your do well. Wish you luck in your react journey.
When they stop ya, they smash the car windows to stun you a lil bit.
English Police... Never stressed, usually unarmed and with a "sick" sense of humor. But make no mistake! They are deadly serious. I say as a Swede and involved.
Kind of arrogant to say we are weird for driving on the left and why don’t we drive on the right since it’s better. That’s the kind of thing that gets everyone else in the world seeing Americans as obnoxious. I wouldn’t say you drive on the wrong side - I would just say that you use the opposite side to us. Neither is right or wrong. It’s not only the UK who drive on the left - 35% of the world does, so over a third of the world.
Those officers will not be armed they are standard traffic cops unless one of the vehicles in pursuit is a armed response vehicle then no furthermore it is almost 100% a given that the acting sergeant will not have issues firearms authority he will have authorised tasers to be used by taser trained officers
The amount of people saying there were no firearms units here staggers me. I'm not trying to be rude, but please don't speak if you don't know the facts.
Yes, there were Firearms Units here. The unmarked black BMW SUV and the marked BMW SUV that ultimately managed to block the suspect were both armed police.
There doesn't need to be a firearms threat. Firearms units are the only other police unit outside Roads Policing that get additional advanced driver training, and so they're often deployed to a lot of pursuits.
Not just that, but chronic understaffing and underfunding means Firearms units are increasingly being sent to all kinds of callouts, even the mundane ones, just to ensure they have enough officers to cover calls.
It's gotten so bad, that some Forces have merged their Firearms Sections with other Sections, such as the Dogs Section or the Roads Policing section. Some forces have it so bad, they not only had to merge it in to another section, but had to share with another county's force, such as Cheshire and North Wales sharing both Roads Policing and Firearms.
I don't think UK Police necessarily do the job/chase to 'enjoy' it so much as they strive to protect the public from these idiots.
But the courts don't do nothing
Those zig-zag lines before and after the pedestrian crossing are a safety zone where no vehicle is allowed to park.
In the UK, 90% of Police do not carry firearms, but some do carry a taser, though not all.
It is extremely rare for there to be shootouts or gunfights in the UK.
NPAS is the National Police Air Service.
The Stinger, is a concertina version of the US Stop-Sticks and are used to safely deflate tyres.
Breathalyser limit:
35 micrograms p/100 millilitres of breath, or
80 milligrams p/100 millilitres of blood
These shows are hugely popular and much more interesting than the US Equivalent (Sorry, but it's true)
Road Wars, Traffic Cops, Police Interceptors.
NB. The last mass shooting in the UK was at Dunblane in 1996 and, within a year handguns and auto/semi-auto weapons were banned. The UK has some of the strictest gun laws in the world.
Dunblane wasn't the last mass shooting in the UK. 2010, Cumbria 13 killed. 2021, Plymouth 6 killed. There's been approx one mass shooting a year with 4 or more people injured (but hardly any deaths).
Our police are not armed, only special forces or in very special situations (sometimes you can see armed police in the airports). They have tasers.
I take it you have never been to Euston Train Station, Paddington or Waterloo, or Buckingham Palace, or No10 Downing Street or many many other locations where you will see Armed London City Police. Other Police forces also have Armed response units such as GMP. Our regular police force who work with communities on a day to day do not carry fire arms.
All police forces have some firearms trained officers on patrol at all times in Armed Response Vehicles. Armed officers make up about 2.5% of Police Officers.
The UK Legal limit for drink is 35 milagrams of alcohol if you go under that you are very very lucky if your over 35 you failed so then it's see you in 6 months from prison
Legal drinking age in the UK is 18. NPAS is the National Police Air Support.
I'm enjoying this a lot. my favourite cop show in the UK was called Road Wars and in the US it was Bad Boys .
I loved Bad Boys! My daughter was just 18 months old when I watched that. She used to ask me everyday when baddie boy was on tv...then would dance to theme tune.
The legal age to buy alcohol is 18 in the UK. The legal age to learn to drive a car is 17, unlike the US, where you can be behind the wheel of a lethal weapon (a car) aged just 14 with a learner's permit.
The box-in procedure is called T-pac. So when they were in pursuit they said we're T-Pac trained. They do regular training on it. In Britain now they have drug wipes, which are opened up and rubbed across the tongue and will show up for cannabis and/or cocaine. They are both illegal. You will be banned from driving for either drink driving or drug driving though the drug driving is much newer. In England the drink drive limit is 35mg/breath and a higher amount for blood. The rules are stricter in Scotland and are 22mg/breath and 50mg/blood. You could lose your licence for driving after 1 drink in Scotland now so not worth it.
Just because YOU are annoyed with a situation does not mean you are making a legitimate call for Police intervention or assistance ! Dispatchers need to assess calls to avoid waste of limited Police resources. And if America has enough resources & money to send officers to any and every call, - good luck to them !
They probably stole the bikes to sell and stole the car to get away.
They say that to try and calm them down, i needed that when i had to call 999 for my son who collapsed out the blue in front of me they talked me through everything kept me calm our dispatchers are brilliant. I'm happy to say that after a few days in hospital, my son was fine.
We have more feelings for our uk residents and plus we dont belive in being aggresive it just makes the situation worse
I was a Student Nurse in ED and there was a riot one night. Cops couldn’t get it under control until the dogs came in. Instant cooperation 😂
They ain't grown men, they're usually teenagers
My ex husband had been trained in police intensive driving & TPAC drving techniques for his job. This also includes following suspects without being seen which in his job he used a lot… they are v well trained, and they have different cars with different kit on board (which you won’t spot btw) depending on need
Anyone who gets behind the wheel of a car, after drinking, gets no sympathy from me when they end up in a ditch, on their roof and in the back of a Police van.
I still recommend X-Cars as a series to watch. (I was born and raised in N.Yorks, it's basically the UK's Texas in attitude/style). We don't speak about East Yorkshire (Or Humberside, as it really is) Yorkshire is split into 4 regions, North, South, East, West. They all have their own Police, but basically inter-twine with one another. Yorkshire is the largest historic county in England, with N.Yorks being the biggest region.
I can shed some light on certain differences between UK/US Police - having worked in the US at a small town PD (feel free to ask questions chap)
UK Lgal limit is 35mg of alcohol. Which is the same as the US 0.08
In the uk we have a class system for drugs marajuana is a class B whilst heroin is a class A
The side of the road that we drive on goes all the way back to knights having their sword/lance arm (usually the right arm) on the correct side so they can fight each other.
It's a follow, not a chase. The customers always return.
I watch these kinds of shows all the time. My cousin was actually one of the cops on Traffic Cops when it was filmed in Derbyshire but that's going back a few seasons.
Uk here Ha ha drive on the right side of the road!! the only time I’ve got pulled was in Laramie Wyoming for turning on a wrong signal (turning on red traffic lights which you can’t do in the uk), got to say the officer was polite though.
In the second chase, those cops enjoyed every minute of it 🙂
You got that right!
13:20 yes we have armed officers with semi-auto's for situations that call for it, the black undercover BMW X5 you see in the chase is usually armed units.
Dezz is right. If you’re having a drink , get an Uber or a taxi. Drink makes you feel like your Ayrton Senna and you can handle and control your vehicle. You may get away with it loads of times , but you will end up one day waking up in a cold cell and realisation hits like an iceberg.
The jumping on car and smashing windows is a shock and awe method to gain control
Hey folks, the area this programme covers is called North Yorkshire. It's England's largest county, at 6,000 sq miles, and is in the north east of England. I am a police officer there. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask and I'll get through them all.
I’m a ex cop and yes most of the bmw X5 cops are armed and if they don’t have them on there side then we had guns in the back of the car
Love your show bro, love from the UK keep up the awesome work
Thanks! Will do bro 😎
I live in a small village and in 22 years iv only seen police 2 times. Once late at night 2 gang members from Liverpool dumped there car so loads of armed police were swarming the village and helicopter, they got them. The second time a cow had got loose i talked to the police man and he asked if he could get the cow into my gatden because it was headding to the busy road. So my brother got a shock seeing a cow on the patio.
I prefer cows to gangs.
All island nations like UK, Australia all drive on the left but all continental nations drive on the right
Napoleon and Hitler chose driving on the right. Driving on the left predates cars,back when horses were the chosen mode of transport,keeping your right hand free to use your sword.
DUI results in a driving ban and a significant fine (usually a percentage of your wages at the lower end to time in jail especially repeat offenders.
woah
The AA quotes a 1969 study that shows driving on the left is safer. Admittedly the difference is only marginal, but it's thought to be because most people are right-handed and right-eye dominant, which makes driving on the left slightly easier.
The zigzags on the floor are the distance that a pedestrian needs to see the traffic from the traffic lights and no one is supposed to park in them.
You can't really 'box' a car if the suspect maybe fire armed...Firearms in the UK aren't as common as the US so US policing will be totally different to the UK...UK boys in blue get to treat themselves to a 'little bit of physical justice' when the obvious criminal has been keeping them occupied for such a long time...who wouldn't...right?
In the UK we have drug classification which are three categories of drugs. Class A, Class B and Class C. Heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and LSD are Class A drugs. speed, cannabis, ketamine, mephedrone and some amphetamines are Class B drugs. anabolic steroids, GHB and some tranquilisers are Class C drugs.
Uk drink drivers get a big fine and a 12 month ban. Our justice system should be more like the US
no, armed officers are only used in situations that require it. we dont get much gun crime in UK outside of things like terrorism or high level criminal gang activity etc. this type of stuff is just routine day to day stuff so you wont see armed cops unless theres a good reason for it.
for example, theres normally less than 30 tor 40 homicides by firearm committed in each year in the whole of the UK. In the US that numbers 20,000 or more. so UK cops really dont ever worry about firearms. 99% of crimes never take place with an armed criminal
The amount of people saying there were no firearms units here staggers me. I'm not trying to be rude, but please don't speak if you don't know the facts.
Yes, there were Firearms Units here. The unmarked black BMW SUV and the marked BMW SUV that ultimately managed to block the suspect were both armed police.
There doesn't need to be a firearms threat. Firearms units are the only other police unit outside Roads Policing that get additional advanced driver training, and so they're often deployed to a lot of pursuits.
Not just that, but chronic understaffing and underfunding means Firearms units are increasingly being sent to all kinds of callouts, even the mundane ones, just to ensure they have enough officers to cover calls.
It's gotten so bad, that some Forces have merged their Firearms Sections with other Sections, such as the Dogs Section or the Roads Policing section. Some forces have it so bad, they not only had to merge it in to another section, but had to share with another county's force, such as Cheshire and North Wales sharing both Roads Policing and Firearms.
@@Perseus7567 hey, if you know for sure they were firearms units even though we dont actually see it then i stood corrected, thanks for pointing that out
No guns mate.... We're civilised.
They broke the windscreen so if for any reason the thief manages to restart the car, driving it away becomes 100% harder
Your face when they found the weed 😂😂😂😂
😂 it looked gooooood haha
No not armed, just normal traffic guys, if it’s a ARV ( armed response vehicle) it will have either and depends on the area on the front outer front and rear windscreens ( windshield), a round circle or * in day-glow non reflective lime/ yellow or red denoting that it’s an armed vehicle, FYI.
We drive on the left because when people rode horses you could get your sword out with your right hand and defend yourself. They didn’t want the car to get into York city as the roads are narrow with 15th century buildings. ❤
In the USA, they drive on the right side of the road, while in the UK we drive on the correct side of the road.
