I wouldnt boast till the 14 day NIP period is up...
Fairly recently a local chap witnessed an armed robbery in progress.I am told he bravely tripped one of the baddies up who then allegedly stabbed HAGH in the leg.HAGH gamely chases baddies on foot and then in car calling BIB on mobile to advise of reg number etc.BIB say thanks and catch suspects. When told this story I thought the obvious punchline was HAGH was done for using hand held mobile...but..no.As he realised he was in fact bleeding quite heavily now he decided best course of action was to drive himself to Hospital...where...you've guessed it he was caught "speeding"..in fairness I believe no decision has been made as yet re prosecution.

In 2005 i was sitting in a dead end SKINNING UP with 3 mates having a little chat when we see some guy runing thru the alley , thought nothing bout it . 2 minutes later there was a loud knock on the window and a badge pressed against the window .
Usual fat copper out of breath asking for a lift to the other side of the park , all ok besides the fact car stank of high grade !! He got in and the look on his face was priceless , in the end I gave him a lift and he got out and ran in the park

Once saw a bag snatch whilst I was driving with OH and baby and as I had just got GTA3 at the time I could see the green arrow, so told the wife to take baby and gave chase as the 2 blokes got into a car.
My plan was to follow at a discrete distance and phone it in to the police but as I turned the corner they had stalled the car, so I swerved in front of their car and then wondered what to do as 2 big burly fellas got out, stared at me and then ran off.
Turns out the car was stolen and still had a load of Sainsburys shopping in the back.

something similar happened to me a few years back.
I was crusing past Digbeth police station when all of a sudden the place emptied on to the street, with coppers running furiously up the road.
Anyway, I wound down the window to ask if any of them needed a lift (as they clearly were off to somewhere close).
A Bib ran over and jumped into the car and said "go to the bathroom place round the corner.....AS FAST AS YOU CAN!
This was the opportunity I had been waiting for, the chance to hoon the M3 legally at double the limit under orders from the Police
Suffice to say.....we got to the shop before the robbers had left.....I got a letter from the Chief thanking me as a bonus.
Was pretty chuffed like the OP.

good story.
These days, you do something like that and you will be sue-d by the scum bag for hitting him with your car, and get done for either speeding, or going thru a bus lane, or both, while in pursuit.
Oh, and the chav might stab you.
Sounds like a lot of fun, but i wouldnt ever risk getting involved!

Until plod stops its obsession with speed, with no regard for broken families in the wake a few mph over the limit, I will do nothing to help them. Nothing.
