Yet another f**k up...
Last week they nailed a guy with a pickup truck loaded with carrots for no insurance etc etc. (with their usual "oh how clever we are" attitude)
this week, they have to publically apologize for getting it wrong and infact his insurance was valid.
this begs two questions:
1) who the hell edits this programme? if I were the Police management, I would want to make 110% sure that every case featured is rock solid and shows my officers in the best possible light.
the way the programme comes across, some of the officers come across as chav's with badges, usually displaying a really poor attitude, surely if you were the chief constable, you would NOT want them being shown like this?
2) At what point does a victim of this programme, having been paraded on national TV as god knows what and basically having their reputation trashed have any real comeback on the police/TV production co?
No, please continue to show just how vile a lot of the police have become. It should be sobering for some of the old boys who think the police are honest upstanding citizens.

It doesn't seem to be present, even in policemen.
Sadly.
From your previous post, it wouldn't appear so. It doesn't seem to be present, even in policemen.
Sadly.

person out of 120,000. When / if you do your A-levels, do maths and statistics.
Tad too late there. I've already picked them, and I'm going to do Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Further maths.Unless statistics is part of further maths.

Don't bother arguing with these two d1cks. They continue their quest to harbour the civvy bobby relationship. Good job guys, carry on, you're doing a fantastic job.Unless statistics is part of further maths.
I do notice La Liga has nothing to say on his colleagues behaviour in this incident. Funny that.
It serves to enforce my point, most were bully victims at school and have a chip on their shoulder.
well done.

I did have a strong suspicion that they were ex-bully-victims.
Well just saw the original episode on repeat and I have to say I'm sorry if the Volvo driver didn't ultimately get the book thrown at him. What a Prat.
This wasn't an innocent mistake or a reasoned strategy - he deliberately pulled out to block another vehicle, then aggravated the situation with his threatening behaviour. Completely unacceptable regardless of what the bmw was doing or who was driving it. Self righteous idiot.
I agree the officer's move looked poorly timed (though I think not as bad as has been suggested) and his attitude left something to be desired. But it was at worst a mistake and I think we'd all be cheesed off if someone deliberately cut us up, swore at us then tried to lecture us on our driving! The worst thing about Mr Volvo is his actions were deliberately inflammatory. It's a shame he doesn't live in the US - he'd get his arse shot off and good riddance!

I'm a young lad and most of the police officers I've dealt with or met have been polite, reasonable and just doing their job. A couple have been condescending, a couple pretty rude. If say that was a pretty good representation of society as a whole. And for people who get sworn at, spat at, assaulted, threatened etc I am quite surprised more aren't bad apples. djc206 said:

Unfortunately you are always going to get some scrotes who hate the police just for being police.

I can't comment on something I've not seen. I'm not sure how me not commenting on something I've not seen enforces your incorrect point. From what I can see with your post I can see you're happy to draw conclusions without essential information, but that's not how intelligent people operate. If the guy's driving is poor, I'll say it's poor. It's not an issue for me. I don't operate from a biased anchor where I need to try and bend all circumstances over it like you do. It serves to enforce my point, most were bully victims at school and have a chip on their shoulder.

It's like this this topic where you said the officer was a "dick" and a "bully", yet the OP describes him demonstrating behaviours which are the antithesis of a bully i.e. "the guy that pulled me was fair to stop me. He was polite as was I. He even passed me after we'd finished and gave me a wave."
You do fundamentally recognise those behaviours aren't associated with being a "bully", right? That'd be a starting point.
I guess that topic's diluted to a level where you realise that even with your depth of irrationality it would be beyond stupid to hammer home your incorrect conclusions further. There were only about 10 people (most non-police or involved with law) who pointed this out to you. Perhaps that numerical threshold is penetrative enough to conquer the density.

Your "strong suspicion" confirmation is based on a conclusion, which is based on me not commenting on something I haven't seen and therefore don't have the knowledge in which to do so. Think it through. TheInsanity1234 said:

IIRC you can choose statistics or mechanics as a module in the A-level (S1, S2 etc). Unless statistics is part of further maths.
A good knowledge of probability theory, psychology (behavioural economics) and critical thinking are the foundations of powerful and quality thinking. Neglecting these things risk processing information in a manner that VonSenger does. This should be avoided.
I wish you the best with your A-levels.
Just watched an episode on 5* and they were in Romford.
Guy pulled over for showing a white light in one of the rear light clusters as there is a fault and also has his seat all the way down so he can lay back. He then wonders why the Police Officer makes him put his seat upright.
Really is worrying sharing the roads with these people.
