ARVs, at least in my force and surrounding forces are primarily traffic vehicles until they are needed for an armed incident.
Also the officers in these vehicles have standing authority for sidearms, therefore always carry.
Most people don't even notice.Edited by killsta on Monday 15th March 17:30

K" 
I think it was one of the Road Wars episodes where they followed a unit in Gravesend. One of the coppers was giving some Saxo numpty a finger wagging chat which, without any sense of irony or humour, ended along the lines of....
"if you continue to drive like that, you'll end up killing a pedestrian, a passenger, yourself or worst of all, you could use your license!"
Also, has anyone noticed on these programmes the frequency with which they'll catch some scrote with half a ton of drugs, stolen credit cards, or any other red-handed, seemingly indisputable bit of obvious evidence only for the voice over to say that they were subsequently discharged due to lack of evidence!! ?

Really annoying! I've also seen people that have blown positive at the side of the roads and at the station and admitted to having had more than a couple, yet the voiceover says that there was no punishment due to an administrative error!Almost as annoying as the scratters that get caught red-handed breaking / stealing something, always resist arrest so several officers get involved, then just get fined £120 (as it's been means tested and they're jobless). That's not a deterrent! That just means they'll have to rob an extra £120 in the next week!

Anyone notice that Ruffy from Road Wars is now a DC working in the National Car Crimes unit (can't remember its proper name), as seen on 'Cops, Cars and Criminals' on BBC1 - they were liberating cars from shipping containers at the docks last episode. He didn't get a speaking part this time though!
Yeah I noticed him too, Chris Ruff(Ruffy) I think! I regularly watch most of the car crime programs as they can be quite interesting. A PH member also appeared in a recent episode of that car crime program on BBC.Jonny671 said:
Also thought ARVs carry guns in the boot? So would have had to jump out, showered in AK47 fire to get round to the boot.. Hmm.
AFAIK they carry sidearms on their person, and they'll no doubt be a better shot than some young 'blud' blatting an AK47 out of a car window.Edited by Taffer on Monday 15th March 17:05
Speaking about Road Wars, does anybody here remember an episode where the officers are about to raid a house and an officer uses so much force breaking the door he falls into it

I just wish the radio times would put a series/episode number next to Road Wars so I've got a chance of knowing if I've already seen them.
