If you like this I can recommend a video of a West Midlands police car ending a reckless driver’s rampage with a tactical shunt that pins his car against a tree. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ukfbOAIQMbw.html
Technically, it's over 10 years. As a foreign offender, once you get sentenced to more than 12 months,that's automatic deportation.Thus you automatically banned from the UK for re-entry for 10 years. The Judge is smart,to him, the earlier he gets deported, the less cost to tax payers. Why sentence him to 5 years and keep him behind bar in UK for years at UK expense?
You'd think with driving like this being recorded on in-car cameras, helicopter footage and TV cameras that the courts would see a disqualification for life. People like him should not have the right to drive a vehicle again!
The thing is though, how are you going to enforce a life ban, or any ban for that matter? It's not realistic. Lunatics like this guy will just carry on driving even though they've been disqualified, as he's shown.
He already didn't gave the right to drive,mhecwas disqualified. Only a lengthy custodial sentence, and as someone else suggested, confiscation of his assets to cover costs involved
As soon as the UK gets a government that is willing to invest properly into the police and justice system. That means more police out on the streets, the creation of new prisons and the general public accepting that a new prison may be built in their area and not make a song and dance about having a prison built near to where they live. Without more prisons, the judges will forever have their hands tied by the government on dishing out only token sentences so as to avoid prison overcrowding. In the meantime, expect crime to continue to rise.
When we have prisons to put criminals in or they deport immigrants like this man. But sadly that will NEVER happen as the UK is just far too woke and leftist liberalist now.
Anything above 12 months is immediate deportation. For 10 years. Plus 2 more months for sorting out shit, and getting him out of the country. Or would you rather he stays a drain on the state for 5 years?
Not only should have a spell in the jail but much more importantly he should made to paid the full cost to the tax payers including damages all of them even if that means the Government take ownership of all his property including houses. My lesson is crimes shouldn't paid. Take away the motivation should mean we all suffer less crimes in the future.
He's an immigrant and should have been deported and banned from w teeing the country, but this is the weak ass pathetic liberalist UK. Shocked he was sent to Prison at all.
14 months ???. Was the Judge under the influence ??? And a 5 year ban ?. How many people believe he'll stay of the road for 5 weeks, let alone 5 years.
He pretty much got away with it then. 14 months of which he'll only do part of and a ban which he'll just ignore and carry on driving. Must be frustrating for the police.
14 months? 14 months??? See, this is why I prefer the US justice system sometimes. 2 counts of aggravated assault, aggravated assault with the use of a deadly weapon, 3 or 4 counts of felony assault on a peace officer…and it possibly more charges. You can’t have people like this out there
I too think we (i.e. Europe, not just the UK) are too lenient with these morons. That said, the US has a greater percentage of its population behind bars than anyone in the world apart from China, yet I still wouldn't want to live there. More jail time and bigger jails doesn't seem to solve their problems. Our solution (too lenient) clearly isn't working, but nor is theirs. I sometimes wonder, sadly, if there actually is a solution?
@@MKRM27 And that make i perfectly OK until it's one of you family members, Won't be so flippant? Other people lives to throw except not your family member anyone else doesn't matter
Must be White skinned so they charged him for mental distress. If Black skinned then for aggression and violent and if brown skinned then for terrorism. Racist Police are to serve white community. What could we expect from community which was built from colonial wealth and denies atrocities?
I've got more respect for the Criminal than the Police. Death comes to us all Money is Printed Rule #1 Thou shalt not Kill.......But a Payed Soldier is a Murderer!! Humans only have Time👍
@@rscosworthfan Of course it's not correct. If you hand out ten years for things like this, the criminal think he may as well make the crime fit the punishment.
There needs to be a standard patrol car that is sufficiently armoured against collision instead of expensive plastic bmw etc . More protection for the officers and able to combat larger vehicles
I suppose its a question of cost analysis. Larger cars would be heavier and more expensive per unit - and require much larger engines therefore to reach the same speeds. Which would affect fuel efficiency and so cost would go up and time available for patrols would be reduced as they would have to refuel more regularly. Also I would assume replacing more standard parts of normal cars is cheaper than replacing custom more heavy duty ones. Also, I would presume - although I do not know this as fact - that panels would still need to be replaced on a heavier-duty car after collision for safety standards. So I suppose the only true benefit would be protecting officers in the event of contact, however, I would guess if safety was a serious concern they would have implemented safety features into the cars already - above standard ones.
The problem with making Police cars tougher with armour, ram-bars, etc, is that they become more dangerous to other vehicles/people, so if a Police car hits another vehicle, the damage/injuries to potentially innocent bystanders could be much worse. It's also possible that the changes would be such that the Police car manufacturer's type-approval for safety for that vehicle model could be voided.
There's a few reasons this isn't done. I'm serving in a different force and NONE of our general patrol cars, or even traffic cars have bullbars or armour. Some of our fleet are even just plain cars, no lights, no siren, nothing, just a plain car. 1) Cost - just fitting a car with decals, lightbars, siren, control unit, radio, MDT/IVMA etc costs thousands, easily £6,000--£7,000, it takes a team of technicians days if not longer to fully kit them out from start to finish. In terms of just the labour cost alone you're probably looking at several grand. 2) It looks too oppressive - public perception is everything. 3) More dangerous to other road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes, and even other car drivers in any collision. 4) It will of course weigh more and be less efficient, thus costing more to operate, whilst it might only be a few pounds a week, if you factor how many police vehicles there are in the UK and the fact that police vehicles are LITERALLY used 24/7 365 days a year, it will very quickly add up to be a lot of money over a financial year.
The UK justice system is absolutely pathetic, judges (past their sell by date) too bloody soft on criminals; disqualified, starting after current disqualification- bleedin laughable…
@@Johnketes54 Those 'old fogeys' would be dishing out harsher sentences if they were able to apply 1970s sentencing. It is the Home Office guidelines and the government that is the problem and not so much the judges.
As usual. Commits multiple offences some extremely dangerous aaaand a judge gives him a slap on the wrist. 14 months which means he would be out in about 6 months on license which he will ignore. I could be wrong but it sounded like he also had a foreign accent. In reality our laws need changing so that if someone is here who is not a UK passport holder commits a criminal offence of this type they be deported after their sentence and banned from the UK for lets say a minimum 20 years to life.
In reality people like you should be banned from typing for inability to write an error-less sentence in your supposedly mother tongue (not just for your racist assumptions). We should probably ban you from our country too for 20 years to life, trouble is no other country would be bothered to adopt you.
Yes but the lefties would really worry because he might be a ethnic minority and get shot! Like our travellers, So perhaps remember the predicament he is in and not abuse his saviour's hospitality
I don't give a damn where he's from. He'll be a threat to life wherever he is in the world if he's allowed to drive. I wouldn't be ok hearing he'd killed anyone in the world regardless of which country.
The name of the offender is Robert Williams and is from Leeds (see description). I went back to listen to the conversation in the cell and it seems that he spoke with a hint of a northern accent but seemed to be so intoxicated with something that his speech was very slurred. I fail to see why he wasn't charged with driving under the influence of an illegal substance.
I'm glad that RPU officer admitted just how dangerous ramming other vehicles can be. However, this does not stop some officers ramming vehicles, in some cases, causing them to overturn. Stopping a vehicle where the driver is suspect of DUI due to alcohol or drugs is totally justified as drivers who are DUI are a dangerous to themselves and others.
How do police know which reckless drivers are under the influence when theyre chasing them?? They don't find that out until they bring the pursuit to am end.
@@bluebottle1617 Incorrect. I'm serving in a different force. They can stop you without any reason. They can check for alcohol under the following conditions: Suspicion of alcohol (Smell alcohol on a stop for instance). Moving traffic offence (Such as swerving left/right, harsh braking for no apparent reason or going very slowly). RTC/RTA. They don't have to commit a moving traffic offence to be stopped and checked for alcohol levels, if you're swerving left and right you can still be stopped and breathalysed.
@@thefiestaguy8831 Do you have the change in the Road Traffic Act 1988 which brought in arbitrary stops or the case law which brought it about? The conditions who mention were in when I was in the job in the 70s/80s.
For the UK it's seen as a last resort option, only to be used when they present too much of a danger. PIT maneuvers can easily prove fatal for officers, the suspect and the public as the car can easily flip or go somewhere the officer wasn't intending. Instead they prefer to use the T-PAC as it often proves safer for all involved. Is also worth mention police cars in the UK are not fitted with bull bars and can be disabled by doing a pit
@@crazycouter Bruh. The blue flashing lights warn people to move out of the way, and, also, how many people and cars were on the road at the time of the chase?
There is a huge difference between USA & Britain. Relatively open spaces versus much more congested areas. 90% of the time it would be too dangerous (to others) in UK.
Also difficult to do to a vehicle like it. Four wheel drive, 300+ bhp & 2 tonnes in weight. The Police cars weigh less and even if Four Wheel Drive they don't have the shove to complete that manoeuvre
Before he pulled the move on the police BMW, I kept thinking why don’t they just tap its rear bumper from the side and spin hum out they had at least two opportunities to…
@@Combatting they got hit from the side, the damage wouldnt be under on the belly. the damage was a pushed in rear wheel arch which wouldnt have stopped them .
@@Mathewmartialart You clearly weren't listening to the police in the vehicle reporting that their airbags had deployed. You are assuming far too much and it is unfair to expect police officers to engage in a high speed pursuit with a damaged vehicle without that damage being properly assessed. When Josh asked you whether you had seen the damage underneath, he didn't necessarily mean under the car, but underneath the bodywork.
As a member of the public, this guy would have no hesitation of causing my death if I got in his way - effectively attempted murder. FTS, should be min. 10 yrs.
They could have called contact as the driver swerved for the exit easily. Plenty of time and slow enough speed to not be deadly whilst also protecting the traffic on the smaller tighter roads…
Imagine how much public money this goon wasted. A few years in nick I reckon, not 14 months! These pursuits should be examined in court as part of sentencing
Over 20 years ago. Traffic would stop by and see us in our sorting shed early in the morning. They came in one morning all pumped up. When questioned, they said we have been chasing someone down the motorway at 120 miles an hour. Maybe they get an adrenalin rush from doing it?
The US Do it sure, but a lot more people die in the US from police chases than in the UK proportionally. Wonder why. But hey, you're a big fan of it, so let's get the police to PIT someone at 80-100 MPH in to the back of your car 👍
The Cayenne is the biggest abomination Porsche ever put out, any other Porsche would have been able to slam on the throttle and disappear but the Cayenne hangs around with the power of a Ford Focus
@@paulburns2287Ah yes, 0-60 is the only metric that matters when it comes to speed. Not gear ratios, Torque, Top Speed, Drag coefficients at higher speeds, Tyre grip efficiency ratios, Rear wheel horsepower... Nope, just 0-60 🙄
They are all traffic police units, they aint response officers for broken in houses, they only deal with mainly traffic issues as thats what they are trained for.
here's an idea, we have all seen clips of helecopter gun ships taking out moving enemy targets. chase them onto open roads, lock on and turn to dust. No courts, silly sentences or repeat offenders. Maybe some new tarmac but much cheaper in the long run.
a Cayenne weighs 2.2 tonnes and is 4x4. A monkey could have taken out the lightweight police vehicles in one of these. I have one, the handling is unreal.
@@Lancashire999 Oh shush! , it was a terrible bit of driving by the police. Facts are facts. No real need for you to shoot your mouth off over the comment, we don’t have to be a trained police driver to know that was a very poor attempt, at speed, with his trusting colleague as passenger.
He's scraped my door... Pull over and get a brand new 5 series to try and stop him. He's scratched my bumper, I'll pull over too and get a brand new X5 to take it's turn to get written off!
Sounded like he was from another country and to be honest I would say any foreign national who gets 90 days or more prison sentence should be deported back to their origin when time served.
Can tell its the UK....long car chase with reserved police and "soft boxing tactics"....cherry on top is the person running away still uses the indicators 😂
