Check out how the Brazilian police deal with drug dealers, health and safety seems not to be a concern

Thats outstanding. Full credit to the car driver. Genius.

Definitely no risk assessment carried out there

Pretty much the same as the reception at Oban if you step out of your aeroplane without a hi-viz jacket.....

An interesting contrast to the family of that Brazilian guy who was shot in a tube station. Had he been shot in Brazil they'd have shrugged and walked away. But because it happened in the Land of Free Money and Schmucks they screamed human rights and compensation.

Yes it's exactly the same.

Except he was innocent.

Not possible to know until afterwards, but hey ho. Hold fire, watch him blow a train up then get sued by 50 British families for not acting...?

We digress, but they were fortunate it happened here (and he wasn't even legally in the country).

http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-136180.h... Sussex Police have used their helicopter to chase people smugglers in the past. I also believe they have used it to stop a light plane from taking off, by hovering just above it.

Try Sywell, there is a fine if you wear one

When I lived in Gibraltar the Spanish Guardia used Helicopters when chasing the smugglers in the speedboats, and if the smugglers wouldn't stop they used to come down on top of the boat.
Apart from the Guardia Heinekins shooting them.

I remember a case where a cigarette smuggler was killed when his boat hit a wave and bounced into the helicopter's skids. Occupational hazard I guess.
