Anyone watch it on BBC 1 lastnight? Jesus ..... what an odd bunch of people. I'm amazed the police actuaslly let it be shown! They only came across as very smug, trouble making, desperate to tell everyone they're in the wrong, trouble making, unintelligent and did I mention trouble making?
I'd love to have faith in the police, to work with them and respect them but programmes like this - which are even funded by the police - really show them for what they are. (I won't class you as one of these Bluepete ![]() |

No, I have to admit, I turned it off sharpish!
I'm never sure we come across very well in shows like that! There was a distinct lack of lunging though. An easy opportunity missed I thought..

I loved the 'counter terrorism squad' ...
Given loads of money for all the latest kit and cars, looking for terrorism by driving around..... riiight. Checking for someone walking down the street with a box marked 'warning - uranium inside - this way up ^' ![]() The guy on the scooter was an eye opening experience, with the cop deliberately winding him up. Every time he walked away to 'calm down' the policeman went right back up to him provoking him. He did it repeatedly. *****. |

Most of my experience with traffic police have been good, generally alright.
There is the odd idiot who are up there own **** and filled with some sort of belief that they are important and more powerful than everyone else, from my experience they seem to be few and a far between in these parts. Police Specials are the amusing ones. |

The copper kept telling the guy in the car to go........but then wouldnt let go of the guys car door. The guy said 'let go of my door then' and the copper said 'watch how you speak to me or I will have you for a public order offence aswell' The copper refused to let go of the door as he wanted to shut the door himself....WTF is that all about, its patronising ******** and a sure fire way to wind someone up and get a reaction. |

Remember stay calm and just say things like yes officer its ok nick me walk calmly to the van get in be over nice and happy with them, i am sure that will p them off more LOL they have more to lose by nicking you for a petty charge really, its a waste of their time. My Mrs was telling me they only arrest for things like that as a last resort purley because it causes them so much paperwork especially if its near the end of their shift! ![]() |

I often wonder on these sort of shows (not that I saw this one in particular, but I've seen similar behaviour on others), how much is intentional to "get a rise" out of the poor sod being busted to make it more entertaining for the cameras. Always better for the viewing figures it the suspect kicks off and has to be restrained... If this seems far fetched, consider that we already know they arbitrarily alter the limit at which they prosecute people when they have film crews with them, just so they don't spend night after night driving around without any 'action'.
