Quite a humorous bunch this week 😆
Ah, Nathan. Still a plum. 🙂
watching a couple of episodes of this makes you realise what scumbags are out there and what shit they have to put up with.
Is Nottingham full of throbbers ?
hora,
You want to join up don't you? Go on admit it.
He'd fit right in here. 🙂
I'm glad they are interested in real crims, people on mobile phones.
Until your son or daughter is wiped out by a knob on a m/p, hey hexhamstu.
I see EasyJets Stelios is in their team 😆
If you think 5 officers in a van spending their time catching people talking on a mobile phone while driving, is a good use of personnel, then you sir, are a deluded moron.
"I'm glad they're interested in real crims people on their mobile phones"
What a pearl of wisdom that is.
Can the big weegie not find a better place for his taser than pointing straight at his knackers?
Spending their time? They drove past and saw it.
More or less moronic than using it while you drive alongside a police van?
I’ve attended the scene of an RTC when a woman on a m/p not concentrating on her driving, drove and mounted a central pedestrian island - the middle aged fella on that island jumped out of the way into the path of a bus and got churned up in the axle - so when I hear balls like that, it tends to annoy me - having been at the working end of it.
I like how you tied in the username - clever that.
mbr30 😀
Comments were made about that one fellas obsession with catching people on mobile phones or other minor traffic offenses. I feel this is a waste of 5 officers time.
Then you would not have been an ideal candidate to deliver the death message to the aforementioned persons parents.
Stu, fess up. It was you in the car they were shouting at, wasn't it.
Nah I was the fella with very old shit in his pants but obviously I couldn't criticise anyone for shitting in my own pants.
as someone who commutes by bike daily, I am over the moon that at least some police take mobile phone use in cars seriously.
I wouldnt be surprised if this unit has been disbanded since filming anyhow under the current ecomonic climate
Loving the Brut!! 😆
I really enjoy this programme, it's good to see the police take issue with both the minor and major offensives. It's also good to show proper not taking any nonsense policing.
I honestly don't know how they don't unleash on these idiots. chuck em down the stairs.
If a policeman tells you what to do, you do it???!!!??
WTF?
I think it depends on if you've got a cock in your pocket or not.
True closing comment. The way 'kids' are brought up without the word no being taught to them. Believing they have no boundaries etc.
That 19yr old was an arrogant little fella. Saying that there have always been tools like that.
The lad with a cock in his pocket. I bet that idiot is a stw'er.
I hate mobile phone users who use them whilst driving - smacks of zero respect for fellow road users - esp worrying when commuting by bike
burn the selfish imps
I'm ever so confused now. There are acts, which aren't laws. 🙁
That Dizeia fella would have found better charges than D&D to charge that lot with
This prog just reinforces my view that the morons find and deserve each other. It's just some wear a uniform and some do not.
anyone for some Brut?
The series has just reinforced what a boring job it can be. Imagine driving round in a van all day in someone elses space in all weathers. How dull it must be 80% of the time. Then you get school children posting above ^
Sorry.
I did lol @ the Brut.
I hate mobile phone users who use them whilst driving
Ditto.
Although to my mind, people who have/cause accidents whilst using their mobiles are the same stupid people who are going to have/cause an accidents anyway. They're just generally not safe drivers.
Using a mobile while driving would be up there with drink driving on the penalty scale if I were guvnor 🙂
I'm a few episodes behind, just watched the riot episode. Very entertaining but it does make me slightly uncomfortable when it shows colleagues with YMCA moustaches pushing 8 stone drunks to the floor before arresting them. However I have every sympathy with the officers who dealt with the fall out from the family party, nightmare jobs to deal with.
I still don't think it's a positive programme.
Arresting people for effing and blinding while swearing their heads off in the van. The guy with the short fuse and appalling attitude, you know the one who wanted to nick everyone. Pissed up Polish are a huge menace to society and a challenge when it comes to making the arrest, steady on big man!
OK, they have to deal with some pretty shitty characters but this programme appears to be showing the long arm of the law dealing with some pretty soft targets very quickly and very harshly, if the behaviour was toned down a bit they would win more supporters. Arresting a drunk for swearing is hardly crime of the century, is it?
I'd much rather see them walking around the streets than living in the testosterone van shouting at people who failed to indicate properly
where do you draw the line though? I'm sure the police are frustrated with making those arrests, but the PC on the street has a job to do, and you're seeing them do it. They aren't involved in big drug, murder or vice cases. Part, probably most of their job is keeping the streets safe, and free from aggresive people...
Common sense and not playing up for the cameras?
Arresting a drunk for swearing is hardly crime of the century, is it?
It's anti social behaviour and that is a real concern amongst the general public and that's why they come down on it
"The level was high for four of the five strands, ranging
between 88 per cent and 96 per cent for ... drunk or rowdy behaviour and noisy neighbours." British Crime Survey, stated sources of perceptions of anti social behaviour
If you had drunken idiots outside your house swearing their heads off every friday night would you want it stopping?
what makes you think I haven't had drunks outside my city home?
what makes you think I haven't had drunks outside my city home?
Well if you do maybe you have a different take from others on asb and are happy to live with it. Come summer we have a steady flow of drunks cutting across the park opposite, shouting, swearing fighting, collapsing on the floor and requiring ambulances to be called by residents on the way back from the pubs from midnight on and I'd be quite happy if the police knicked them
Someone I know is a working copper. Unless he's in a rush to get somewhere, he'll always stop anyone using a mobile while driving . They get a chat, and a mention of the fatals he's been to where a mobile was involved. The attitude test applies. The same goes with crossing white lines.
Mrs sog knew of a fatal where a manager was phoning her office and drove into a tree. I can't imagine what it was like to be on the other end of that particular call.
