Major Police Operation Infuriates Drivers | Car Pound Cops | Debt Recovery Series 

Wait, did she say that pepper spray over there is considered a fucking fire arm?

Typical narcissistic behavior, blame everyone else for the negative consequences of your actions or inactions.

We definitely need laws in America that make people over a certain age pass a health exam and prove they are still capable of safely driving. I'm having this problem with my own mother.

If the person at 7:14 can't understand what is happening then he should not be driving any vehicle.

Only in the UK would the pepper spray my daughter has on her keychain be considered a lethal weapon!!!

I don't understand why they don't auction them off? Use the money to recover some the costs.

In Australia we have compulsory third party insurance it’s a part of your yearly registration. It basically covers you if somebody gets hurt or killed in the other vehicle and you are at fault. It definitely frees up police to be out doing more important things. That system looks like a money maker .

Considering these idiots raise ALL of our premiums by their uninsured antics, I have no problem with them being impounded. The cost of getting it back is MORE than they would have paid if they had just gotten their insurance!

This is why we here in Australia have bloody high registration because we pay taxes and insurance included in the registration but we pay extra for full coverage I.E. Fire, theft, and extras.

Must be some kind of record in UK - having your car impounded by police after owning it for less than 20 minutes.

I got arrested and locked up for not paying a $18AU that blew out to $389AU that I was not aware of 4 years before. Now here in Australia we can't reregister a car with a fine attached. My girlfriend came with the money to pay the fine or I would have been locked up for 4 days. I had no idea that the fine existed, I presume a kid took it off my window playing funny buggers but it was a shock to the system when I make sure everything is paid for.

Range Rover driver: In essence, I drive a Range Rover, laws and regs don't apply to me.

They should be able to boot the car until the tow truck comes for the people with multiple tickets. Instead of playing the game to see if the tow truck gets there before the driver

So the guy with L plates couldn't find anyone to accompany him, but he can call someone to come and pick him up! Amazing.

That Land rover driver... I kinda knew his from the south pacific with his accent, and voilaa!! his from Fiji... Bula and hello from Fiji

If it's on private property how can they take it😊

its also strange to me that they will scarp a perfectly good car if not claimed in i think they said 14days? why don't they auction them and get more than scrap prices? and the ones they are towing for parking tickets i am surprised they don't do like they do in the us and boot the car or i guess in the UK they call it clamping it

I like this show!

You are providing a service that goes a long way in ensuring the safety of countless others. Keep up the good work. 👍

Ever heard of booting the cars, so they can't just drive away. Duh.

In New York State,your new vehicle is NOT released from the dealer ship with the car being registered and insured with the paperwork in order.

What i dont get is how ppl are so careless to run without proper paperwork in place in the old countries..

If the US took DUI's that result in crashes half as serious as the UK takes droving without insurance or a license- we would have a WHOLE LOT LESS DUI's and deaths related to them.

The UK actually takes handing out driving privileges seriously. Here in the US it's kind of a joke. Anyone old enough with more brain power than an encephalitic slug can get a license and it definitely shows on the roads. Way back when I got mine I had like 6 hours class time, a similar amount on a closed protected course and maybe an hour total road time. I got maybe another 5 with my parents supervising and then too the written and road test and boom, I was legal at 16 years old. I did ok, but there was no way I had enough practice time to be a good driver at that point.

I’m 73. In Australia, the medical profession can report concerning health conditions to the particular state licensing authority, which I have no difficulty with.

"Major Police Operation Infuriates Drivers that are breaking the law" There,I fixed it for you

Quite weird. You can have all those fines, yet literally minutes before your vehicle is impounded, come back and drive off in it..?? Weird indeed....

What? I forgot to renew my insurance and I was allowed to have my a towed home. Glad where I Live in Canada there are no mandatory inspections.

Here in NYC if a car is in default of paying tickets the put a boot on the car witch is a half round lock on the car tire and the o2 er can't move there car then the tow truck comes and takes it

Does everyone drive Mercedes I the UK?

Everyone says they are there to help?!?

1:11 She seems to think that she has to justify that they are impounding illegal vehicles. The drivers know if they risk driving without insurance, no tax or a vehicle not road worthy that they’re taking a risk of being caught. Mean while the crime they’re committing cost those that respect the law, especially insurance are costing them higher rates to pay for those trying to evade paying. Not to mention that vehicles in terrible conditions, like bald tires are putting lives at risk. It’s no accident victimless crime!

I wish that the US was more strict with the uninsured and people with no license. In America, I've seen it to where some police do what they're supposed to do and arrest them and I've seen it to where they just let them go it's more ridiculous when they're dealing with foreign nationals and people like them. You know they're going to throw that ticket out and you know that they are not going to get neither insurance nor a drivers license. I'm wiling to forgive someone who just accidently forgot their license at home or mixed up the old insurance or registration with the new one but they have the paperwork, it's just at home.

Come on... why do you insist on showing this like they're always perfect... do one where the police/impound people screw up!

this is just weird. a whole industry setup for no reason..... just dont make insurance mandatory like Australia. what power do the police have to stop you purchasing insurance in front of them?

The Lady on here from the recovery company you do it because it is a good earner stop trying to be so pious

A good source of revenue for the government if nothing else.

SO I don't understand. This Person that Moved her car before it could be towed away... Why can't she, or other people that are in the same position have their Car Wheel Locked, If she/they have Un-Paid Parking or other outstanding tickets, And then the Wheel Lock Removed when she/they proves the Out-standing Ticket(s)??? are paid? That logic is no different then someone having a warrant for their arrest, the police find the person but they can't arrest them because they aren't doing anything wrong at the time???

Why can't the car with numerous tickets be booted and taken? The debt collector will boot and remove. So, why can't the police?

Steve knows he's doing something wrong.

I'd hate to be cop in Britain, here in NSW Australia it is mandatory for every police officer to carry a firearm. They carry a 40 cal glock which is in the process of being changed over to a 9mm because of ease of recoil on the 9mm. CS spray is also carried by uniformed officers. Here in Australia every time you pay your yearly registration you have to provide proof of third party insurance (done electronically by the insurer). Comprehensive insurance is a separate policy. The third party insurance is transferred with the sale of a vehicle.

They set up in lower income neighborhoods.

I,m sure protecting the public is the Reason you are assisting the coppers, nothing about the money your making out of it

Do they grab people in the country illegally with no license or insurance?

Why dont you guys just tell the first guy to go to the police

victimless crimes , blocking people from using the roads that they own ! under common law equity = ownership , if you buy a car, you have ownership rights, do you ask for permission to use your car ? your taxes pay for the road , you own the road, and do not need permission to use it. Blocking the road is a violation of rights under the color of law.

Why isn't the car dealership fined..In canada you have to show license and insurance before driving away

You can't fix stupid.

The longer it takes to delay the release the more storage fees they can collect ! the police doesn't care !

Again foreign nationals ... disgraceful

Why not let the guy buy insurance on the spot. He will still get a fine and points.

legal stealing of your car

Lmfao watching them legit weigh cans of pepper spray had me dead. The UK low key has become so pathetic. Also if someone is literally getting insurance while being stopped then that should be sufficient. It’s ridiculous that they seize the car, someone else’s property, especially when they’re getting insurance as you speak. Seizing someone’s property for what is quite obviously a civil offense is the most obvious kind of predatory money grubbing. Even with the guy whose vehicle was insured and got seized anyway is just ridiculous. He should be paid for the inconvenience in general. Like these absolute losers are just standing around not saying anything about how she could just move her car and they’re deliberately staying quiet about it hoping she just lets them take her car lmao. Like does no one understand how slimy and lowlife this is?

"Stop and check" isnt legal in the us. But if they stop you for speeding etc, in some us states they can impound the car if not registered and insured.

Still better than the “Parking Wars of Philadelphia” where getting you’re car back in this lifetime is questionable.._

They have the same stupid laws as the US. Repeat violaters have all the rights and the cops waist their time.

if you work with the police then you should be able to release the vehicle when all it correct

Why do they scrap the cars instead of selling them on auction? Seems like a waste

If everyone bought insurance like they are supposed to, your premiums would be about 20% lower, at least...

I also wish they wouldn't scrap the cars, I wish they would just donate the cars.

so more like 200000lbs when they estimate it's always in their favor not the peoples favor so the over estimation is for their benefit

one Northampton not a city

Anyone could take ur things too. Not save to keep all those goods I one place where lots an angry ppl can team up to destroy this business to the point ppl fear to work their or unable to hold business w/o risk. If my lively hood was at risk I’d do what ever I have to to get mine no matter who’s in my way. I want it more than ur willing to risk keeping it…I bet?!! Cops only show up after the bad things had started or ended.

Simple just change the system and all rego and insurance will be paid at the pump. Rego and insurance needs to be added to fuel price. When you buy fuel you also pay rego and insurance. The current system is way wrong, problem solved.

How does an uninsured driver cost insured drivers more money?

There is always a language barrier when they have to deal with the police! And how in hell did she pass the written exam, road test without any knowing, speaking any English!

2:41 Randomly detaining people? Yeah that wouldn't fly here in USA

Holy tax land

Why don't they simply have a law that allows them to clamp a car, instead of having 2 officers waiting for hours for the owner to show, only to have them drive the car away without any way to stop them. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

We have plenty of wingnuts like this in the United States but most of them were born here. Britian is importing them!

Why disguise their voices ? These are public stops, and most are police officers.

I love how they make it sound like they are "saving the world" by seizing all these cars!

This is shi tty way to do business! Why all that circus and people time wasting? Yes people drive without any right, so did I. Do you ever understand what side effect it have if tolerated properly? So nice driving skill. I followed every sign, speed limit, everything. All that to avoid detection. I made zero accidents and I was happy it was tolerated before. Sure, it can not last forever. Only 1 thing is sure, insurance is SCAM. These people can make that service very costly. They have right to take the key out from the vehicle and before that lower the windows. It means that, the secure place owner must store it inside the building, not outside. Also they must use the lift. They can not just use the plastic film because it leaks the water. If vehicle does not start or have damages, it is 100% their fault and they must cover the damages. It is nasty way but takes out their profit

You have some dumb rules!

Luckily we have a fourth amendment in the U.S. that says police can't just set up a checkpoint and pull everyone over to check their papers. Oh, wait...

They don’t tolerate uninsured vehicles in the UK . Take em off the road until fines , insurance , and tax is paid . Safer for everyone on the road .

33:00 What sort of micky mouse opperation are this council running ? Wheel clamp the car! Better stil drive around in a tow truck and not a van , save a lot of time and money!

Not that I really care but I think I'm actually first. Well maybe I care a little, I really love this channel !

This is where not being truly free has it's problems. Tyranny's can do whatever they want to you, and there is always some employee who is happy to take a paycheck in exchange for the opportunity to victimize the public. A great example of the bad actions of a few now adversely impacts everyone.

I'm a 30 plus year law enforcement officer in the southern US and when we do DUI checkpoints it's very common for people to try and get through and a few times they have tried to run us over but unlike Britain we carry firearms so the result can be very different.

It's not what you do that wrong it's the ridiculous charges you charge to recover them.

Most of them are foreign nationals….

So glad I live in America

Are we seriously running emergent to catch an unlicenced driver?

wait why dont they auction the cars when the fees hit the value of the car instead of crushing it?

They just crush the cars? That's absolutely insane. That's the most wasteful thing I've ever heard.

Jobswoths

so in the UK you don't have to renew your driver license every so many years? in My state here in the usa it every 5yrs

What on earth is a mere Constable doing commanding such an operation?

Northampton is a TOWN not a CITY.

Money-making

Watching this makes me cringe.....ends justifies the means?? don't think so..

Road pirates.

So why do they distroy all cars rather then sell them? Especially perfectly good and legal cars

"I in country illegally. I buy insurance when I get caught no having insurance from Gregoer in the backroom insurance company! Why you not release my car?"

Why do they scrap them instead of auctioning them off?

1:50 what did you say, child? ''that it's like carrying a firearm?'' immediately leave work and go to school wtf!

Law enforcement in the UK is sus af. They can stop and frisk anyone they please, including drivers. The way they conduct their policing of traffic also is sus af, @32:40 does not help either. Both officers knew there was a language barrier ( may or may not been bs) that look and whole vibe of the female officer clearly reaffirms my suspension, they need to get rid of her ahh for that one. She on camera could've been atleast a little discrete lol

I wish we had law enforcement like this in USA. No drivers license, no insurance, get a ticket and drive away. Go to court, pay a fine and do it again.

Never heard of a car boot? Stupidity and bureaucracy at its finest.
