Channel 4 - anyone else see this? The 3 year old going for a walk on his own at night without parents even noticing! Barmy. Also the daft woman letting her 8 year old out in the woods.

Just watched the latest series of this, based on Wiltshire Police HQ, episode I just watched was focussing on cars speeding/racing etc, i'm lost at the mentality of some of the ones stopped and ticketed, chap gets pulled for slding his tatty old BMW round a roundabout and has 2 bald tyres on the rear, gets a ticket, on camera he smiles and says...." it was my skill at driving that stopped me crashing!" rolleyes

What service do you require?
I always wondered what is the answer supposed to be when you require more than one service such as a car accident. confused

Begging the officer to not give him any points as it will cost him his job, he already has 8 points so you'd think the idiot would learn his lesson!

The fella that wrapped his Volvo round a tree was very lucky.

I've phoned and needed police and ambo before. I got put through to the police first and heard the BT op say 'its a multi service request' or similar. The police took details and then contacted ambo.

I've only needed to call once for multiple responders, and it was a long time ago for a car accident. Think I just said some like 'all'. So it was some what a rhetorical question inviting an authoritative answer.

Can anybody explain the call handing in practice?
Presumable, each service have their own call centre?

Bloke in the BMW, nice guy and that got him off lightly.... we have all done it, but trying to justify it and digging a hole even bigger??
If he had been a little spotty yoof giving it the large he'd of got done for worse....

Parrot in the modified Volvo....again i've had some silly cars in my time...but come on mate have a bit of respect for the lad you hurt, Parrot was a smug grease monkey and should of been done for something...i doubt he told his insurance about the mods.....

Well he looked well smug, but the lad said he had 3 months not working so someone would have to pay for that and you here about insurance companies finding smaller excuses not to pay out than a Volvo with a stupid turbo on it.
So i imagine he was covered hence his smugness... i mean he did not look like a man who had to pay out loads of compensation..

Whatever he had done to that Volvo it seemed to not stretch to better wheels / tyres or even lowered.....death trap and clearly he was showing off..

Enjoyed the episode tonight. Quite clearly the judge bought the young guy was acting in self defence.

Anyone else think he looked right like Clark Duke?

The narration was trying very hard to avoid any suggestion that the dead guy brought it on himself. Sometimes violent bullies get what they deserve though.

Thought it strange that the other victim (Neil) constantly lied to the police (stating 100% the first suspect was guilty etc) but it was never really mentioned by the police.

I felt a bit sorry for Hayden, he looked like he's been an easy target all his life. I don't condone the stabbing at all but he was just minding his own business when Jordan thought he'd rob him. Sad.
