Such a shame. Great guy. I love his old school way about him in these shows,wittyness and you can clearly see from his interactions with the guys on the road , that he was well liked and respected by them. X
Isn't it just! I didn't realise at the time how laid back things were then compared to now. Also fords and vauxhalls seemed to be the only cars on the road!
I had a Cavalier V6. Superb motor. These guys are using a Cav Turbo. I once saw a marked Police Cav Turbo take off up Stag Hill on the A3 - went like an absolute rocket
It amazed me that throughout the programme, Steve couldn't seem to work his mobile phone properly. At least 3 times we heard Hello....hellloo...hellloooo. Lol
It was pre digital days. Besides trying to maintain radio commentary and running with blues and twos is going to be trying enough. I still hear people today on their smartphones giving it "hello, hello, hello?".
I remember when phones were becoming more and more popular in the late 90s. It was very common for people to say hello over and over and everyone also used to say "can you hear me"
Ive got a friend who shared these on Facebook. I've always loved Police traffic programmes like this and these are so fun to watch, considering these were made before my time! One day, I'd like to be a traffic officer, as this sort of job appeals to me.
+Pg1 Driver You may hate aspects of the police remit, we all do. I'd rather have them stopping idiots like those than having to deal with the fatality of a family member or a friend. Your comment, relevant for some acute cases, is redundant here.
The firemen in Manchester back then, where kept fairly busy, parts of openshaw, miles platting, Newton heath, gorton. All would attend 5/6 car fires on a Saturday night. The locals would steel cars from town and fire them in local estates.
a Vauxhall nova easy to take just pull the hazard light button out push it back in upside down ignition is on just bump start n go 2 people 30seconds lol
Anyone else thinking that piss ed claiming H23TUB was his motor, was the driver that dumped it? Easy BLAG excuse I was at home pissed I didn't drive it, it wer nicked.... lol
As of March 2018 there were the equivalent of 6,349 full time police officers working across Greater Manchester - down from 8,148 in 2010. In 2010 the region's then Chief Constable, the late Michael Todd, said he needed 11,000 officers to adequately protect the public. Police say growing demand and dwindling numbers mean they are struggling to investigate car crime.
That's coupled with the population shooting up too. The tories are supposed to be tough on crime, yet they cut police numbers and budgets to the bone to give the wealthy more tax breaks. They're supposed to be tough on immigration yet they are bringing more in than when we were in the EU and now they are black and brown immigrants rather than white eastern european. They have cut the local council budgets the most though, my area can't even afford basic services. Now they refuse to give public sector workers a pay rise, so with inflation the police, nurses, firemen, bin men, bus train drivers are now doing the same work for way less money. Meanwhile the private sector is giving out big pay rises across the board. Can't wait until they get voted out, they are utterly incompetent and only care about helping the wealthy.
@@Zwia. wrong about the tories, its labour you need to be worried about, the private sector is less secure than the public sector , and I do work in the public sector thanks, the bigger the pay rise you give people which equals prices going up and taxes going up, think of the bigger picture, they will give the public sector a pay rise soon, you need to be realistic instead of this class war bs
@@BertiesGhost i just found that as i was looking at his arslan security tweets and his resignation date from arslan security is that date. Died to early
Cars of the 90s.. Love em proper police cars back in the day. Giving him his Nova back.. What's that all about, What about ceasing it for dna and other relevant evidence??
That Nova no messing used to get nicked every night 😂😂 Even 8 or9 year olds would get a go in it 😂 and in all probability got stolen again that night👍🚗
Also at the beginning of the show we're told that CK control won't link channel 3 and 5 but 10 minutes later the officer is asking for channels 3 and 5 to be linked. 😂
Top policing !! Nowadays they would sit and wait for you to drive off pissed so they could nick you, probably letting you drive for a bit and crash first so they can get a bigger charge ticked off their list ✌🏼
I know that's what I thought lol my mate got arrested for being drunk in charge of a vehicle and the poor sod only had a row with missus so was in the dog house so just went to sleep in his car.
Wasn't even a cosworth they were chasing lol. These are apparently professionals chasing these criminals lol. They're in a Vauxhall cavalier turbo with 200hp and can't even keep with a ordinary ford seirra lol.
Great to see these old vids, absolutely. But why are these so-called expert pursuit officers driving along bouncing off the rev limiter all the time? It's *terrible* driving. And one thing that will *always* boil my piss, is the ridiculous two-handed shuffling of the steering wheel. Despite whatever the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motoring) say, it's fucking dangerous. Put it this way, if that was the best way to control a vehicle - especially at high speed - you'd see racing/rally drivers do it. Which you don't. Ever.
this is when cops were cops not 5ft5 little girl trying to please mummy and daddy by joing the police..there were limits then on hight and fittness .and the stuff they carry now is 35 pound .on an 8 stone teenager .or a22 stone cop that rolls out of his x5 and burps with gas ...and now the controller says to the traffic car slow down your using to much fuel ,,call it off its costing to much .....
I ask myself, if a Policeman cant tell the difference between air rifle and a real firearm, why are they in that line of work? Having a cool scope doesnt elevate it to a firearm. At least cops were a lot more open about their pettyness, admitting he was looking for any defect to take mans nice Golf VR6, nevermind the irrelevant bias information "he was later sentence to faud" just to make themselves feel better about seeing a Asian man in a new Golf. The only difference now is they hid their bigotry better and the Asian guys are driving Mk7 Golfs.
Air rifles look like real guns to mongs. They're not getting arrested or anything else, it's an investigation. Unfortunately for these goons they flashed their guns for no reason, which immediately allows the police to search the property in England. Turns out they were criminals. Don't show your power level if you're up to dodgy shit.
@@curbyourshi1056 Mate I’ve been searched for eating a burger suspiciously, for having interior light on and for my tail lights not being the right shade of red. I once got threatened to be arrested for having feeler gauge in my glovebox. Thankfully I’ve moved out of the target age range now so I could drive around with a boot full of automatic rifles and they wouldn’t bat an eyelid. Stereotyping is not effective crime fighting technique.
@@razzo15 Well one carries a minimum of 5 years in prison without a valid firearms certificate and fires projectiles with the aid of a gunpowder explosion and the other can be freely obtained by anyone over the age of 18 and fires air pellets. Its like compairing a butter knife with a sword, both can kill you but one needs to poke you in the eye.
end of an era, watch a traffic cops from today, its all crap in hair, funky hair cuts, make up, saled eating, lily savage lookalike and that's just the men..................
