I hate these shows. The recent '24 hours in custody' and ones which followed South Yorkshire around, which shows how st policing is are much better.

That's because it's for you to figure out how to respond to them as it's you who has to justify using your exemptions.

That in itself would be reason enough to move her to an office job surely?

Mind, I did enjoy seeing her at the wheel, so to speak.

No, it wouldn't. It'd be a relatively minor training issue.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be the first time the police have lost at a tribunal, or at least not "covered their backs" sufficiently given the low evidential threshold of a civil case.

I suspect the problem in the Police is that its a place where there are lots of rules and procedures to do everything so when you have a bit of freedom you are not sure what you can do with it.

Merc driver who died was driving uninsured, no licence, was doing over 100mph, he was 9 times the drug drive limit and 1.5 times over the drink drive limit, and (although not STRICTLY relevant) he was a "member of the travelling community".

Next week looks interesting, going after bad driving rather than drugs etc.

Same time, same place. Wonder if they will get through the series before BBC3 goes online only scratchchin
In fact, will they even bother to show all the episodes this time mad

Quite a decent programme, but I was starting to get irritated about how many times the officers and the voiceover bloke told us how they had to handle the white VW stop carefully so as to not blow the house surveillance operation. OK, we got it the first six times.

Riot training not relevant for me in this type of show. Why not show the radio training that enables the police to drive and operate radios at the same time, that would be more relevant?

Treat her like anybody else who might be on the road without a valid license FFS!

Did they even report her?

I do feel a bit sorry for her but it was hilarious when she didn't stop.
