I think you're misunderstanding their shouting. They're being professional throughout, and the 'anger' is a tactic to actively frighten and disorientate the people inside. Great job. And notice, nobody was shot. As to whether the legal system deals with them how we'd all like, is another question though
Exactly a slap on the wrist. 60hrs of community service is nothing. It's the legal system that lets us down & all the red tape. However if the police were given more powers to deal with minor crimes then maybe these bigger crimes wouldn't happen. The children & the public as a whole have no respect for the police in the UK. They just laugh at & abuse the police. Being a law abiding citizen my family have had to ask the for help on a number of occasions & basically they were just a waste of time.
You beat me to it to say the same thing. The tactic is to "go in hard" as a way to subdue the criminals. I am often disappointed for the Police who risk their lives to protect us and the ciminals get off lightly. I see no reason why these three men should not all be charged with theft of the bicycles, theft of a motor vehicle and the driver be further charged with speeding, driving reckless driving, criminal damage (for hitting the wall when stopped) and fined a sum of money commensurate with the cost of the operation to bring them to justice. That should put them behind bars and cost them a small fortune. It may make them think twice before repeating this stupidity.
the ''brlliant uk police'' are busy scanning the London streets looking for the lone woman, their rape target; then they have their cache of murdered women pics, that they share and laugh about online.... Thank God they don't have guns - itchy trigger murders would be hourly
Hi Joel, they call it joyriding. I call it criminality with the potential to maim or kill. To call it joyriding is just an invitation for idiots to act irresponsibly. These people should be punished with harsher sentences instead of being let off lightly. Sorry, rant over.
Taking without consent is a major crime already. Driving like a maniac anywhere but on a racetrack is grounds for anything (almost) being done to stop that happening. A few bruises and scratches? They get off lighter than anyone they mowed down on the pavement. No-one's worried about the cars damaged. It's all happened before, and will happen again. No shortage of deluded fantasists in our Britain.
Police never call it joyriding. Theft and other offences in driving like this.. such as Dangerous Driving.. probably no insurance etc. As many offences as arise when looking into the driver.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 That does not surprise me at all ! Although to be fair to the French police they do have to deal with the riot / revolution prone French populace.
@@gdok6088 By theway I'm French not by choice. I was born against my will. If you recall what happened weeks ago about a particular case. There was Muslim teenager who was shot by a police patrols for refusing to comply just for a check control. People (the muslim) were mad at it. They started rioting and caused chaos The French Police didn't handle well
To be fair to the French police in that situation, it doesn't help when your own President hangs you out to dry. Macron condemned the shooting before all the facts were known, and only rowed back on criticising the police when the riots got out of hand and he probably realised his comments were undermining law and order. In the UK, the politicians are generally wise enough to keep their mouths shut and let the official investigations happen first (unless they're the usual suspects who always criticise the police - there are one or two MPs who you know will come out and mouth off at times like that).
Police officers are rarely considered "the government's henchmen" in the UK, or elsewhere in Western Europe, Canada, or Australia. Except by the occasional highly disruptive or criminal elements, of course. They are viewed as public servants, keepers of the king's peace. In Welsh, a policeman is a hedd geidwad, literally a "protector of peace".
In the UK we "police by consent". The police need the publics support in order to function. They also don't view themselves as a paramilitary force in the way other countries do
when I joined..and I think the oath has changed somewhat now.. it included the words BEFRIEND THE CITIZEN and TO WELL AND TRULY SERVE OUR SOVEREIGN LADY, THE QUEEN. Amongst other forms of words such as WITHOUT FAVOUR OR AFFECTION. To preserve the peace.
I live in the UK. I've heard and read F loads of comments that don't agree with you there. They most certainly are considered "the government's henchmen" and not just by the highyy disruptive or criminal elements.
I was involved in a joyride 20 years ago,3 young idiots rammed my car and sent me into a wall. I have lost some part of my memory and forget things due to my head hitting the seat belt casing. I only started driving again 6 years ago and I still haven't much confidence on the road,I'm always expecting something or someone to run into the road.
Hope your driving is safe by others into the future. But there is always some level of risk. Usually not joyriders. More likely rear end collision or failing to stop at intersection
Hey JPS. Seen some of your fellow US reactors ask why British police immediately smash windows on a stolen car when brought to a stop. This is a deliberate act to disordinate those inside in case of any weapons the offenders may have.
id kick the livin crap out of em ,the danger tey put people in ,imagien a woman walks out of any out them drives with a pram ,divvies . I hope they got a good hiding
You are absolutely spot on there, youngsters, male or female under say 25 appear to have an obsession with Facebook/Twitter fame.Risking other peoples lives in pursuit of ten minutes of fame. What a shallow world we have become!!😕😕🇬🇧
As well as being concerned for other road users, I'm sorry for the person who's car was stolen. How are they going to collect their children or go shopping or to work tomorrow? Not everyone can get a hire car that quickly.

@@cabbageplays6710 I got rear ended by a Skoda Octavia in my Nissan X Trail a few years back and it needed about 4 months of time in the garage being repaired. Insurance sorted me a BMW X3 3.0D to drive in the meantime. Was sad when I had to pick my car up and give the BMW back.
My ex husband was a Traffic officer and my son is now a Traffic officer, they are highly trained pursuit drivers and have to update their driving skills regularly to keep their high standards. They attend driving courses before they can go into traffic.
@@SW-ok8qr my son doesn’t have time to eat doughnuts, in fact it is rare that any police officer in England actually gets a specific meal break. One huge difference between American police and British Police is numbers, you will never see 20/30 cars all turn up sirens and lights blaring abandoning their vehicles at a scene, blocking other emergency services. You would never here multiple officers shouting orders to the suspect and confusing the scene, neither would you see abusive use of tasers by British police. There are always individuals in any job who are loose cannons, but the majority of British police officers are the epitome of professional educated law enforcers.
The British police will call a chase off if it gets really dangerous e.g near schools etc. I don’t think they do that in the US? The culprits always get found in the end though.
I've watched US police chases on RU-vid and, in quite a number of cases, the officer has had to relay traffic conditions, etc. and ask for permission to continue the pursuit. After one fatal crash during a pursuit, there was a bit of annoyance by a county sheriff's chief who had not authorized his officers to assist in a local police chase. The driver, who died was a woman who had stolen some paper towels and a few other small items. Her two passengers were her teenage children who heard the officers declare their mother dead on scene. If they had taken her licence plate and called off the pursuit (as the Sheriff had wanted), those children would not now be orphans.
The US police have very strict rules when it comes to traffic stops and are highly trained. State Troopers especially. Your average speeder may think he has outrun the patrol car behind him, but he hasn't outrun the other law enforcement assisting. And crossing State lines won't help you, contrary to public opinion they are perfectly able to continue the pursuit, they just have to pass command to the new state's law enforcement and are usually following relaying information and assisting the pursuit. They're just racking up new offenses in a new state.
There’s a new police documentary series on British TV at the moment called “Sky Coppers”. It shows that police are now using drones in a variety of situations, including tracking stolen vehicles, which hopefully will lead to safer and more effective chases. I did see a bit of one programme where police used a drone to monitor premises they were raiding for drugs. The suspect on hearing police at the door went to the rear of the property to throw stuff into a neighbouring garden, but this was all witnessed and recorded by a drone, providing easy recovery and additional evidence.
But there is a vast difference between a drone recording some villain throwing stuff out of their back door into a neighbour's garden, compared to this programme showing a total moronic thief driving a getaway car, with 2 other thieves, at 90 mph in a city centre location, breaking all the rules of the road, and potentially placing so many other innocent bystanders, pedestrians, motorists and others in danger. So, by your reckoning, having the potential carnage recorded via a drone, as opposed to the tactics carried out by the Traffic Officers shown here, is far more acceptable?? The circumstances for drone footage may well differ for the type of crime in progress!
@@iainjones5002 Of course there’s a difference. But sometimes police have to call off chases because of danger. There’s potential to use a drone to follow a vehicle and direct police cars to strategic locations to intercept rather than chasing. Additionally drones could follow suspects once they’ve left a vehicle.
Wow, Joel, 90 mph in built-up areas - insane! I still have difficulty crossing the street in Britain in normal traffic (from looking the wrong way) - wouldn't stand a chance against a 90 mph joyrider!! Super video and reaction. Yorkshire Police were truly impressive!!! Have a great week, John in Canada
Surprisingly people/ criminals don't seem to realise quite how much evidence of thir actions is caught on camera. Locally to me a big murder trial has just concluded, where everyone involved in a massive car chase that ended in a double fatality lied through their teeth to the police in interviews and statements, not understanding that the police had huge chunks of the action over several hour on CCTV, plus phone locations and records from everyone throughout, and even in the case of one car a whole load of telemetry information about how and when it was being driven. In that case the police were not involved in the chase, although one of the victims was on a 999 call to the police when the car they were in crashed - which also added to the evidence.
You are 💯% Correct. It`s like these people who have carried out crimes where a lot of the discussion etc, has been done by mobile phone either by voice or txt. Deleting your history does nothing as your service provider Legally has to maintain all records relating to a phone number for a minimum of I think it is Three years. It`s all there to be used as evidence. Just like the latest Scallywags best friend, EncroChat. They thought it was unbreakable, Wrong, there are loads of them now doing heavy sentences because of it.
@@theaces3697 Interesting to hear that. Having followed the daily reports from court, but not having been there, we wondered what it would look like from the jury's point of view. Of course, the verdict answered that question.
I used to live in an area in the 90's that was the worst for car thieves and knew of 2 of the worste culprits..... One killed one of his passengers in a chase / crash..... The other died burning alive with his passenger in a stolen porsche 911. Typical endings for many!
There are some that ridicule police driving but, having spent time at one of their driving schools and going through an advanced course, believe me, they are capable of driving to a truly remarkable standard. Some of what I saw during my time there left me breathless. These guys are truly gifted in the level of car control that they possess.
Those cops are not chilled, they are professionally focused. That's how they eventually get the upper hand because the knobs in the Ford Fester are the ones not in control of themselves, even though they may think they are. I used to work with a twat who jumped from a moving car to escape during a chase. The car he was in ran over his leg and he was lucky not to lose it altogether. He was hobbling around months later boasting that he was on 'disability' for life. Yeah, big win that, pal. Thankfully, I never saw him again, useless runt. He'll be in some YOI soon enough.
You can see the switch from the very deliberate, calm, procedural commentary on the radio, then as soon as they get out of the car they switch to intimidation mode. It's very deliberate and very intentional.
For all the people saying "Well maybe they wouldn't have driven so dangerously if the police didn't chase them!" that's entirely possible, but we don't see how this started. After spending many years driving a taxi around a city through the wee small hours I can tell you that many joyriders don't need a police car behind them to drive like they're invincible and have little regard for public safety. RU-vid is filled with videos of people driving their own cars with no regard for anyone else's life, so do you really expect a joyriding car thief stick to the Highway Code?
I think part of the reason for the calmness of the commentary is that most of the cars were double crewed. The observer narrates whilst the driver can concentrate on the driving. If you hear a singled crewed vehicle, the commentary is often more brief and terse, as the officer still has to control his vehicle as well. The police are also aware that that, although it is not impossible, in the UK it is VERY unlikely that either they or the perpetrator are likely to end up being shot at the end of the chase.
Social media will be the death of our world !! In the USA the cop's guns would have been out the moment the car was stopped and all clips emptied into it and the passengers !! British cops just used their extendable batons !!
Nice of you to spot the Fiesta, but no, that's not an ST. However, even standard Fiestas are renowned for their good handling, so they are no slouch around corners.
It’s a 1.25l fiesta don’t know if it’s got the 84hp or the 64hp but it is one of the worst cars to get chased by the police in. Had the 84hp one as my first car and they were good around corners but were so slow on the straights. Even had it modified and was running at 105hp but it was still so slow. Was super loud and other car guys would always try and race me and I would just lose 8/10 times 😭.
@@stevetheduck1425 my point is that the car thieves don’t suffer enough to prevent them from doing what they do. Yes, their lives probably change course due to their actions but they won’t be thinking that far ahead.
@@stevetheduck1425 Not really, the insurance industry will cover most of the expense. They are pretty unlikely to get their money back. This cost is then passed on as higher premiums. At the end of the day, we all end up paying.
I used to live in Missouri (1990s). On the news there had been a bank robbery in a town called Columbia. The guys sped south in a get-away car. A marksman on a police helicopter shot dead the driver. The car crashed, killing one more, leaving the other badly injured.
The British Police are some of the best in the world. It's a shame they're not appreciated more. They actually train Police forces in dangerous regions of other Countries such as Venezuela.
I agree, but they have to get rid of some stuff though, like mucking about getting down with whatever, is only losing respect.The ones at the top have to change tactics..Trouble is, there's not enough police to arrest and contain people in police cells...
@@margaretflounders8510 They are acting like American cops to be honest to enforce themselves . Using the powers that be to enforce wokeness . They should do their job and should have no reason to hit on that girl but yes murderers and pdos they need the book thrown at them .
the grooming gang scandal was allowed to continue for a lot years, police robbing drug dealers but then to become the dealer a multi million £ drugs they were caught was group cops make big money, one mentioned above the recent one, from 2016-2019 the met and one willing to give out freedom of information out 21£ million was paid out in cops bending the rules, false arrest / kidnap/ assault. going back further they even covered up a terror attack what killed 3 young lads was ran over by car, cctv clear show the car turned and aimed and driven at high speed over them but cops put it as loss of control just an accident. you only have to search the internet we need a police force to watch the police keep them in order. no police get my help even if on fire, if pulled over while driving they get the min requirements but that it and dash cams rec all so if they get funny i get payout, if not driving they get nothing esp told to jog on / do one / bugger off as in that case i want them to abuse powers so sure a payout.
As someone else said, they are a masonic gang that bully people and drag autistic children from their houses when the haven't even committed a criminal offence. Hardly an example to anyone, even hardened crimals ain't going to attack an autistic child.
I remember actually watching that episode Joel. I'm addicted to these types of programmes. Another series for you to watch is Police Interceptors, that's a good watch also Joel. Great work mate x
I remember watching an episode of Police Interceptors where they were chasing a stolen 4x4. The thief drove into a field and got stuck in a ditch and jumped out to try and escape. They could see the lights on the police cars driving around the outside of the field and kept changing the direction they were running. One of the cops was driving a Mitsubishi Evo so basically a rally car, so he drove across the field straight to the thief and grabbed him.
They have to stay calm to be better in control even though there will be adrenaline as you never know the outcome so many scenarios.also they are TPAC trained ( tactical persuit and containment)and they will always (when available) take over a chase
That certainly _was_ in York. You've been there, Jps, can you imagine that Fiesta going through the town centre at 90mph? The chase passed by my _Bridge Club_ in York (4:47) on the left there. In fact, the chase was finally brought to an end between _the Bridge Club_ and _the Bridge_ (Holgate). lol
The truly sick part is that these morons rarely go to jail. They usually get 'Community Service' (which they ignore) and a fine, (which they don't pay). UK law system is dead.
Used to be Community Service, then it was called Community Punishment. Now it’s called Community Payback. Over the past 12 years the government has downgraded Probation, farmed the easy parts of it to private companies leaving Probation Officers to deal with the difficult cases, and redesigned the computer systems which spectacularly failed. One day maybe we’ll get a government that’s fit for purpose.
I think this kind of behavior should be punished by a whipping and/or sitting in the stocks like olden days. Plus people can sell rotten fruit to throw.
Did you notice the lady on the pavement just in front of where the car came to a stop....yikes. These criminals are usually on something that will give them a kick and the confidence to go and do these horrendous crimes, putting many other lives at risk. I have watched this programme here in the U.K.,, and the officers go on very intense training at old airfields to enable them to work as a team to stop these idiots . The punishment for this is not enough as most have done it several times before.
The car didn't mount the pavement until the police rammed it onto it. What they did was extremely dangerous and was sheer luck that an innocent person wasn't killed.
And this is the problem its joyriding while being off your head on dope. they have to start giving them lenghthy prison sentences these misfits could end up killing a whole family. they should go down for at least 18 months.
I remember a case where a guy bought some supercar like a Ferrari or Lambo, something like that, and filmed himself including the speedometer driving at something like 180mph on public roads. He made a video of it and released it in the shops. The police traced him and took him to court using the video as evidence, he was convicted based on his own video.
People are less trusting of the police in the UK these days, sadly for good reason, but it is still the case that there are many brave well-trained officers doing thankless tasks such as the one shown
Absolutely my sons one of them , unfortunately no news is good news , only last week he had to assist in taking a body from rail tracks that's the sort of thing they have to deal with .
Where i used to live there was a football club training ground and so i understand the lease had run out and it was left to go into a derelict state. Nearly every night a car would be burn't out on this ground and then they would turn up with another car and ram the first car they had burn't out then proceeded to burn that car out and so it went on night after night. The police did nothing,it was reported multiple times over a long period but they did nothing,this went on for months and they still did nothing. Maybe a good car chase is better who knows.
Not really anger off the Police. It's a tactic to confuse and disorientate the offender/s. Police call it going in hard, all the officers will be shouting and using batons to break the car windows. Our Police are some of the best trained in the world. The Officers shown in the video are specialists in Road Crime they use something called T PAC (Tactical Pursuit and Containment) and have to be trained in this also they have to be in a suitable Vehicle. The average beat/community Officer are not allowed to take part, they can assist in the arrests after the pursuit of course. Basic Police training consists of 18 weeks of collage. Then 10 weeks on local Policing (with a tutor / mentor) Then a 2 week post foundation course. Then on to local Policing for a year or two. If then they are seen to be good enough they can go on to the intense training to become a Traffic or Roads Crime (interceptor) Officer, many also become ARV trained as well (Armed Response Vehicle). Most Officers take the time in there early years to study for a Degree in Criminal Law (BA). Some will choose to stay as a Local Beat Officer. Some go on to other specialities like CID (Criminal Investigation Department) etc. Working up the ranks is a choice also (as in our armed services) not easy. A bit long winded I know but it gives an idea of what it takes.
BS... They're a Masonic criminal gang, who like to drag autistic kids out their houses for hurting their feelings. Maybe your long rant was true 30 years ago, but most current coppers probably struggle to work out how to open a can of coke.
The biggest problem with UK police these days is there aren't enough of them. And I say this from a left-wing perspective. Successive governments, particularly Conservatives, have starved public services of cash, and there are simply not enough police officers to do the job. The result is many minor crimes are being ignored.
You said it first, they're spread too thin, not funded enough, and must be saints to cope with the stress, which eventually leaves them to quit if not careful....Totally agree with you.
The trouble is that they will never get the numbers they need as what they do have working act like a gang, lying and covering up for each other, so any new recruits who have the right ethic or desire to do good see the system as rotten and leave.
Add to that the closure of police stations across the land due to political decisions about funding. The public are deprived of "places of safety" as well as sources of police manpower in proximity in case of need. Too many members of the legal profession in political office don't help the situation in the context of the overall practical situation of crime prevention and proper punishment.
LOL, seriously Ch 5?? That Ford reached speeds of 90mph on City Streets? Who the Fxxx are you kidding. The Police only claimed 60 mph during the chase.
Great reaction to a great outcome video (For once).. We just had a case here in Oldham, Manchester where a 16 year old Schoolgirl was killed after 2 BMWs where chasing. The chaser pulled off down a side street, yet the other car trying to escape went on the opposite lane, mounted the pavement and ploughed into the girl who sadly died walking home from school. The driver who survived is to be sentenced in September along with the Chaser who was also convicted. Im pleased to say that the Laws are changing slowly but surely for these drivers who commit these crimes. So much has changed for the worse in society. I know everyone has the right to a nice car, or whatever they can achieve, but when i see 2 X 17 year olds driving £40,000and £50,000 pound cars at a time of day you would assume a job would be being done to maintain those cars and in an area like we live and also in a recession, my suspicions are aroused, yet we cant say NOTHING. The selfish C**** should be strung up, or at least parts of the body removed to disable them from driving again.
@@robertwilson738 hard to word these things... I'm saying I wouldn't judge anyone on the basis of what they drive, but certain things like age, earnings and area all contribute to a certain level in certain areas... My point was I can't see how those cars of that value are acquired by people who aren't working and immature enough to be racing on public roads...hope I'm making sense here.. Haha.
British police don’t carry firearms routinely. It is a specialist group who are dispatched to deal with armed situations. Police giving chase in certain situations drop back from the chase and follow at a safe distance, if the chase is deemed dangerous to the public.
It's probably more visible on social media because of dashcam and phones, but joyriding/racing has been going on for as long as I can remember - was XR3i's then Honda Civics, etc. Can go out any day of the week at 2-3am and find them, in my area. There was a humpback bridge they loved to get air on, till one of them killed a mother and 3 children coming the other way.
Yeah exactly, back in the 1990s you used to see a stolen car chase nearly every night where I lived in Bristol. The used to drive around in stolen cars actually looking for the police. Since immobilisers have been fitted, it's reduced the amount of stolen cars by at least 95%
A'reyt Joel. Welcome back to Yorkshire. Is that local dialect? I commented before about rugby tackling a car thief through the back fence. The police missed him hiding under a pear tree after two stolen cars crashed.
Watch quite a few US police stops and never seen one get onto the roof of a car to detain someone. Maybe that's due to not having firearms. 'We don't have guns, they might have, so let's go crazy aggressive', and I don't blame them a bit.
But i blame them. Having seem some of those videos where us so called cops use unneccessary force to either detain or kill someone. You see within seconds they're badly if at all trained for those situations. Even in the voices you hear they never learned to control their rush. If they got decent training they forgot all about it. You can easily control someone sitting in a car either alone or even better with two people. It all depends on how you approach and how you make your angles towards them. You always control the situation. In the videos i've seen american cops seem to think shouting helps. You get either non-compliance because the subject freezes up, a runner because you triggered the flight response or the most stupid response someone shooting at you because you tiggered the fight response. IF they'd go at the situation more calmly they'd get better results for sure. But that would require education... and training... LOTS of training.
I am profoundly deaf. It’s very scaring to watch it because image if you walk on the pavement, can’t hear what’s happen behind and impossible to avoid it. I think it would be safe to stay at home, order the food online to stay survive. Too dangerous world
Great choice for discussion. You’re right about the social media accent on yourtgfull behaviour - it appears to be doing as much harm as good. Like you, I still use RU-vid, though. The Police over here have are highly trained in pursuit work - if they really. Do send the ARMS team after you, you really have overstepped the line & may not survive the end result. The police here, are alway keeping the public safety factor in hand as well.
Just to let you know it’s still bloody rainy and cool. BUT it’s not just us. All Northern European has been and even Scandinavia. 😮. South boils and burns and we get the opposite. Climate crisis in action. NO PLANET B 😢
You could be forgiven for thinking we're actually rather obsessed with fly-on-the-wall police, ambulance, lifeboat, coastguard and various Emergency Room documentaries in the UK, Joel... Mostly showing on Channels 4 and 5, we had "Motorway Cops: Catching Britain's Speeders," "Police Interceptors," "24 Hours in Police Custody," and a new series, "Court Martial: Soldiers Behind Bars," which details the activities of the Military Police; all showing last night - in addition to, "999: Emergency Callout," which is about an experimental, joint police/ambulance service; "999: On the Front Line," and, "Ambulance Code Red," all of which were showing last night alone! In addition to these, "Police Code Zero: Officer Under Attack," and "Sky Coppers," which is about how the police use drones to help them with their work,. showing at the moment... The BBC did an interesting series called "Highland Cops" a few months ago, following the policing of vast rural areas of the Scottish Highlands and Islands - often by lone officers, and some of the challenges they face - as well as "Ambulance," which follows the work of ambulance crews and their control rooms... Back on Channels 4 and 5, we've also had "Criminals Caught on Camera," "Inside The Force: 24/7," "Police: Night Shift 999," "999 Police Hour of Duty," "Traffic Cops," "Coastguard: Search and Rescue SOS," "999: Critical Condition," "Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts," "24 Hours in A&E," "Skin A&E," and more, shown in recent months!
"Look how chilled they are." That's definitely the overwhelming view of the police here in that sort of situation. It differs greatly from what we're shown when US police get into a chase, though what we're presented with versus fact might be different. It does seem like the police here are better trained at managing a pursuit, and it's not uncommon for them to be seen to end a chase for safety reason rather than plough on when there's a serious risk to safety. What we're usually shown with US chases is a far more gung-ho, Dukes of Hazzard approach that gives the impression that the officers' egos are influencing their decisions, but I think a great deal of it comes down to the difference in our roads. We tend to have narrower, windy roads that can help to contain a chase, whereas you have huge, wide roads, many of which give multiple escape routes. Our roads are mush easier to block off or set Stinger traps on. Perhaps that's why UK police are more prone to using TPAC tactics (Tactical Pursuit and Containment, where a suspect is surrounded and boxed in with cars) to stop a fleeing vehicle, as opposed to the US PIT manoeuvre which seems far more dangerous and less controlled. I do get the impression that part of the difference stems from the appearance that UK are held more accountable for their actions than police in the US, but I'm not sure if that's entirely true or fair. We see a lot of stories about US police getting fired (or resigning to avoid being fired) after a chase or arrest goes bad and simply joining a different police force elsewhere, but I don't believe that's possible in the UK. I could be wrong. If you ever come across a video of UK emergency services giving a commentary on their decision-making while blue-lighting you should definitely watch it. This is a good one to see some of how they're taught. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0O5JxH9ewJU.html Impressive detail when you consider they do all of that while also trying to manage a pursuit. There are some good videos on the Chris Matrin EMS channel too www.youtube.com/@ChrisMartinEMS
It wasn't anger, but more tactical. They stomp the glass to obscure vision in case the chase resumes, also gives them an extra entry point into the car as the sides are blocked. Thirdly, a window is cheaper to replace on insurance.
Hi jp, the first chase is in my home town of York and this is pretty regular occurance by the few idiots who don't give a damn...the rest of us are really nice though!!!
British traffic cops really are highly trained pursuit drivers.....they aren't just any old cops. If they can't get through the training then they don't get to be a traffic cop
My favourite interaction between the UK police and American police was when a group of American police came to see how UK police are train to react in certain situations, and the American police said during one of the procedures that the person would have just got shot if it was in America
The shouting and smashing windows is a shock tactic used to disorientate the occupants making them less likely to react in a violent manner. Giving the police time to control the situation without further harm.
The police are calm and relaxed because they're trained to be as relaxed as possible so that they've got all of their brain available rather than being tense and tunnel focussed. They want the officers to be able to make reasoned decisions to call the chase off if it becomes too dangerous, or to be able to make reasoned judgements about taking other routes to cut the suspects off. The shouting and stamping is meant to overwhelm and intimidate the suspects, so that they hopefully freeze up and are easier to deal with and for the police to lay hands on them, drag them out, and arrest them. It's *very* deliberately pitched to stun the suspects. If the suspects are armed at all, it might make them hesitate.
The reason UK criminals are able to stay in a chase for so long even in a standard hatchback, is because, unlike in the USA, our roads are *narrow af*. Even neighbourhood streets in the USA are like 1.5x the size of most of our A roads! As a result, it isn't about straightline speed and who has a bigger engine; it's about agility and quick turns. So although the standard hatchback loses quickly in a straightline chase with the police, they can hold their own pretty well in tight housing estates and down country lanes. The BMWs the police use probably have 3l engines MAX. That hatchback probably has like a 1.4l. It definitely isn't an ST with the 1.6 or 2l engine.
It is longer - Traffic Cops is a full TV series, like Police Interceptors. You can find episodes (made up of several pieces like this) on RU-vid, you should react to them
That's just a standard Fiesta shopping trolley, though a reasonable spec judging by the radio... An ST might be more nimble than the Police wagons but it still wouldn't outrun them
How are the police officers in the car so 'chill'? Because of training, good drills, and attitude. The police in this case are not being driven by their emotions, or their egos, but are making cool calculated decisions. I would imagine that officers who do get 'het up', would fail selection or training for traffic division.
