SIREN WAILS
JOHN THOMSON: This is Police Interceptors.
Get on the ground! Police interceptors?
A real-life one? I'm gonna tell my kids about this.
And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
Speed, one-two-zero.
Ace pursuit drivers... Contact, contact, contact.
POLICE RADIO: 'NPAS five-one.' ..with air support...
'Got two out. Stand by.'
DOGS BARKING Come out!
..and a crack dog unit.
If you move, you will get bit.
MAN SCREAMING
They bring down the bad guys... Police!
I believe you are wanted, mate.
INDISTINCT YELLING ..keep the streets safe...
Put your arms behind your back. SCREAMING
Get on the floor!
..and battle 24/7... ENGINE REVVING
Get down on the floor. ..in the war on crime.
BRAKES SCREECH RADIO: 'Crash, crash.'
On the floor now!
Is what it is, innit? We find them, we lock 'em up.
Coming up...
..a runaway driver...
Officer with a Taser! Stop!
..runs into the sharp end of the law.
Yeah, I'm being careful! Stop!
A seven-tonne TPAC...
Slow it down at the front. Slow it down at the front.
..sees a suspect totally bricking it.
DOG WHINES, BARKS
Police officer with a dog. Open the Portaloo now!
And a grade-A intercept...
It's here. It's here, mate. This one here.
..leads to a haul of suspected class A's.
Stop playing around right now. Do you understand?
It's the early hours of the late shift.
SIRENS WAIL
Multiple units are hunting an Alfa Romeo that failed to stop
for blue lights.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
After pinging an ANPR camera,
interceptors soon have it in their sights.
I believe it's serious, and it is going to overtake.
They've no idea why the driver's taken off.
Vehicle failing to stop currently.
But it's clear he's hell-bent on escaping the law.
The Alfa male flies through reds and lets the throttle out.
But the XC60 soon reins him in.
The runaway's putting his own life and other drivers in severe danger.
Only a last-second swerve saved this bloke from serious injury.
The suspect is increasing his speed and becoming increasingly reckless.
The nippy Italian number may be a match for the Volvo...
..but it's no match for German engineering.
In the BMW 340i, Bertie and Sandra have joined the party.
Pushing his Beemer to twice the legal speed limit,
he makes a beeline for the Alfa's location.
RADIO CHATTER
Up ahead, the suspect is showing little sign of slowing down...
..or giving up.
The good news is that the Alfa's loops of the back streets
have bought the interceptors time.
Come in. And they're flying in.
23-year veteran Bertie
is a big fan of Top Gun...
..and with a twitch of the afterburners,
he can now see the lead car up ahead.
Oh, he's going left. He's gonna go left here.
His internal satnav has sent him down a shortcut.
Got some pretty horrendous bumps. Eek!
And he's betting that will get him ahead of the pursuit.
Try and get to the top...
Gonna come out at this roundabout.
Once in position...
..they don't have to wait long.
POLICE RADIO: 'Where do we need the stinger?'
The Beemer's now leading the hunt.
Six-four, the lead car.
And with 380 horses under the hood...
Temporarily high risk due to offside.
..Bertie gallops after the Alfa,
tracking it out of town towards a possible stinger site.
Tesco's. Can anyone make Tesco's?
Can anyone make Tesco's or...?
Or Towcester Road. One of them.
Oh! Stand by.
Spikes are primed up ahead. Yeah, that's towards...
Left, left, Towcester Road, towards the stinger.
They just need the Alfa driver to stick to this road.
Towcester. Still no deviation at the roundabout towards the stinger.
We've got nothing in front. Approaching traffic lights.
Laying a stinger is all about timing.
Good lad.
And this one is bang on schedule.
Vehicle stung, vehicle stung.
Running on flats, the Alfa is quickly slowing down.
RADIO: 'Position, please.'
St Leonards Road Roundabout.
But not quickly enough for Bertie,
who decides this chase has gone far enough.
With his motor boxed in...
..Alfa male is out of the traps and away.
SIRENS BLARE
It's now a footrace, and the interceptors are hot on his heels.
But this one's not going down without a fight.
Officer with a Taser - stop!
Officer with a Taser! Stop!
Interceptors are involved in a high-speed pursuit
of an Alfa Romeo driver.
Slowed by a stinger...
Good lad. ..he's been boxed in by a Beemer...
..and has now done a runner.
With more units closing in, the suspect nips down an alleyway.
Alleyway.
Officer with a Taser - stop!
Officer with a Taser! Stop!
But then get snagged while trying to scale some spiked railings.
MAN:
You're under arrest!
Have we got him?
I know it is!
Were you going in the back garden?
Yeah, I'm being careful. Stop!
The officers have their man...
but not for long.
OFFICER EXCLAIMS
The injured suspect legs it towards the back garden.
But soon decides he's done with running for the night.
Do not move!
If you move, you will be tasered.
OK? Stay there! Don't move.
Don't get up! Stay there! Don't move.
Stay there. Keep your hands up.
Stay there. MAN: My legs...
The cavalry rolls in...
Hands.
..and slaps on the cuffs.
Just stand by. A quick check of his vitals...
..reveals a puncture wound to the upper leg.
OK, we're gonna get you up, get you to hospital, mate.
An inch to the right could've cost him more than a trip to A&E.
Ready? Stand up. One, two, three.
One sec.
The Alfa male skewered by two lots of spikes
pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified,
driving without insurance and fail to provide.
He was sent to prison for two years
and was banned from driving for four years.
And he wasn't the only one with battle scars from tonight's events.
Towards the industrial estate. Left, left.
When boxing in the Alfa...
..the Beemer took a bit of a beating.
I'm just cross that they've damaged the car.
I reckon if I gave you an hour, you'd have that sorted right out.
Buffed up!
Across the UK, curtainsiding is on the rise...
There's parcels falling out of the back of the vehicle.
..and more and more thieves use disguised stolen vans...
Stay there. ..to carry out their heists.
I've got one detained, one's ran off.
So, a way that the criminals will disguise the vehicles
will be to clone plates.
They will find a Mercedes Sprinter parked up somewhere,
take the plates off of that vehicle,
and they will then stick on those plates to the Sprinter
that they're gonna use to commit their crime in.
So... it wouldn't give any officer a suspicion to perhaps stop it
and see who's in it before they make their getaway.
SIRENS WAIL
It's just gone midnight on Monday.
Michael Hollowell has received news of a cloned van
hurtling down the M1.
Yeah, so there's a vehicle that's come southbound from Derbyshire
into Leicestershire,
and it's come as far south to the borders of Thames Valley
from Northamptonshire.
The cops suspect the van is carrying stolen goods...
..and multiple units from three counties are racing to intercept it.
SIRENS BLARE
The units get in formation for a TPAC.
But boxing in a seven-tonne motor travelling at over 50
is no easy ask.
Van man tries to outmanoeuvre the pursuing pack.
But his heavy handling just makes space for another cop
to nip in front and put the squeeze on.
Keep it on, keep it on, keep it on.
But the suspect... INDISTINCT SHOUTING
..hasn't stopped.
SHOUTING CONTINUES
He's away on his toes in motorway traffic.
Wait! Parked up behind the van,
dog handler Sam and German shepherd Olly take up the chase.
Wait! SIRENS BLARE
Wait! Dicing with death, the driver's legged it
across four lanes of oncoming vehicles.
Wait!
Sam knows she can't be as reckless. Wait!
OLLY BARKS
But she also knows that each passing car is costing her crucial time.
Wait!
After spotting a gap in the traffic, the hunt is on.
Wait!
I'm with him, mate. Wait!
Where's he gone over?
The driver has been clocked heading through trees
towards a large housing estate.
Where? INDISTINCT CHATTER
Good lad, Olly. The search area is widening.
Come here.
So air support are called in to help scout ahead of pursuing officers.
As the suspect fled through the woods,
he left scent trails.
We've just come in through a gate. Wait a minute. Hold on.
Which Olly's nose has locked onto and led Sam to an area
on the east side of the village.
Oscar-Delta-two-two to NPAS, can you see me on Barley Close?
I'm with my dog and a colleague.
I did just see you at the junction of Hazel.
The nearby woods and houses offer both hiding places
and escape routes.
But Michael is racing in to tighten the net.
We're gonna be coming up to the village,
and hopefully we'll see somebody that's...
RADIO BEEPS
Six-five, just entered Hartwell from Hanslope.
Trek up!
On the ground, Olly's nose has led Sam towards a cluster of houses.
While up in the air...
POLICE RADIO: 'NPAS - any possibility if you're about, mate?'
..eyes in the sky have spotted something in the same area.
POLICE RADIO:
Armed with a nose carrying 15 times more scent receptor cells
than his handler, Olly homes in on the heat source.
OLLY BARKS AND WHINES
Olly can smell fear. Go on, boy.
And that's not all... OLLY BARKS
Police officer with a dog, open the Portaloo now!
Olly seems sure he's got his man,
but Sam needs a visual to be certain.
Stay where you are now! Get on the floor!
Get on the floor in front!
Get on the floor now! Get on the ground!
Stay where you are!
Get your hands behind your back! Spit the fag out.
Spit the fag out!
A fag burn is the least of this lad's worries.
At the moment, you're under arrest...
..suspicion of dangerous drive,
and failing to stop for police. Do you understand?
After a quick sweep for any dropped evidence...
Funny place to hide. I know.
On your feet on three, ready?
One, two, three. Up you get, good man.
..Michael arrives a little late for the party.
He was after that digger, wasn't he? That is what he was after.
HE CHUCKLES Oh, no!
But bang on time to help Harrison escort the runaway driver
into his motor and then back to the station...
..where he'll have plenty of time for another sit down
and think about his mad break for freedom.
INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER
It's pitch black where he's jumped out.
If he's not seen by the cars,
he's gonna be collected by one of them, and it's gonna be a disaster.
But, I mean, it's a risk that they will take,
and, more often than not, it will pay off for them, but not today.
The runner, flushed from a Portaloo, was convicted of dangerous driving,
no insurance, no licence, and other unrelated offences.
He got a 34-month driving ban and was sent down for 28 months.
No action was taken for the cloned plates.
Take care of yourself. Cheers, you too. All right, mate.
It's Wednesday evening.
Harrison Beverley has been called to assist Lloyd Mason,
who's tailing a man wanted for a serious domestic assault.
POLICE RADIO:
Knowing the suspect's form, Harrison wants to get him in custody
as quickly and painlessly as possible.
If he knows he's wanted, the potential is that he fails to stop.
So hopefully we can get to the area,
and get the vehicle stopped and get him locked up.
Pushing his Volvo hard, Harrison soon has Lloyd in his sights.
RADIO BLEEPS
Lloyd, I'm behind... One behind you at the minute.
With Harrison now behind, they could try to pull off a two-car box.
But the Navara weighs two tonnes, so three cars would be ideal.
If their man knows he's being tailed,
then he's showing no signs of it.
Just as they plan their move...
..the Navara pulls into a petrol station.
INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER
Fearing a decamp... Stay there. Stay there. Stay there.
Put your hands there. Put your hands behind your back.
Put your hands back.
..Harrison acts quickly to put him in cuffs.
At the minute, you're under arrest for high-risk domestic offences.
You're under arrest, OK, on suspicion of domestic assault.
You do not have to say anything, it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned something...
Just to confirm, we've got... DIPPED AUDIO
..in custody. It's him.
The guy's facing serious charges
and potentially a long stint behind bars.
Have you got anything sharp on you? Nah.
DIPPED AUDIO
Cameraman, get out my face. I don't care, don't film! You are in public.
INDISTINCT SHOUTING
Just stay there. Just chill.
Listen, listen... I don't want nothing. I swear.
I'll smash that camera in his face. You won't. I will.
With the camera-shy driver in a cop car, Lloyd turns to his passenger.
Cos I suspect you've been involved in a theft offence
which has just occurred. OK?
DIPPED AUDIO
OK? So, if you are telling me your details,
if you're giving me a fake name, which I think you are,
I'll find out. All right?
So it's your last opportunity to tell me the truth.
OK, what's your name?
Lloyd was a beat officer around here for years.
It's really simple.
It's not a difficult question, what's your name?
OK.
And he never forgets a face.
Yeah, I've worked in Corby my entire career.
Harrison thinks evidence of the theft is in the Navara.
Trouble is...
BARKING
That dog's massive.
..there's a third passenger still inside.
Is he friendly? No. No.
Oh, he is friendly, but... To you. Yeah. OK. OK.
This is a 70lb Cane Corso puppy.
And it doesn't seem happy about what's happened to Mum and Dad.
Got a big old bark on him, ain't he?
Harrison allows the suspect to call his family in
to help calm the dog down.
I'm at the BP garage with the truck. You need to come and get it.
Pretty good result.
Just need to sort this massive dog out now in the car
before we can search it. So, we'll wait for them.
They'll come and get the dog out the car, and then we'll go for it.
An hour later, the family member arrives.
Harrison hopes his familiar face will help lure the dog out.
BARKS
Maybe not.
I might go buy it some treats from in there, then it might be friendly.
Animal lover Harrison has two pooches at home -
a cockapoo and a golden retriever...
..and considers himself a bit of a dog whisperer.
I got a treat.
See if the treat works.
Here, what's this?
Hello, darling.
Hi.
But this dog isn't one for whispering.
Hello, is that another treat?
Is that another treat? BARKS
HE CHUCKLES
Argh!
The evidence and the passenger will have to wait
until the specialist dog team arrives.
There's probably 100, 200 quid's worth of stuff in the back.
We tried to get out the vehicle, and that has not worked, unfortunately.
So, we're gonna have to get some specialist dog handlers here.
Soon as we take the dog out safely,
we'll get the property out the back of it to return to the shop.
The male was arrested for theft
as well as for several violent offences,
and he remains under investigation.
The female was dealt with for theft of alcohol and recalled to prison.
Hello, darling.
BARKS Ooh! Not that.
Let's shut that door. No. THEY CHUCKLE
Coming up...
The Op Revive team...
You've got a known drug dealer and I think he's making a deal.
..dial M for mayhem.
You get off your phone! I'm not on the phone!
THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
Sorry? And a birthday night out... Nice day.
Have you had anything to drink tonight?
..doesn't end with cake and pass the parcel.
No, no, stay back. Just stay back. Don't touch me! No...
Leave the dog! Stand still!
I've got him, got him, got him! Calm down. Calm down.
We've got him, we've got him.
Northamptonshire experiences around 2,000 drug crimes each year...
We've recovered both bags of drugs.
Go! SHOUTING
..but those numbers are on the slide thanks to Op Revive...
..a team dedicated to weeding out violence, gang activity,
and drug dealing from the root up.
So it is starting to make a big impact,
but it's a long game with this stuff, you've gotta keep going.
If we're doing it for multiple years at a time,
and keep arresting them and sending them back to prison,
that's gonna have a longer term effect.
Cos they are not gonna be able to recruit the next groups
into drug dealing and taking it on to the next generation.
It's early Friday evening.
People are winding down from the working week.
HE YAWNS Oh, God, why?
That means things are about to ramp up
for Connor Shorten and Brad Burgess.
It's a Friday evening,
we're assuming that most of the drug dealing going on
is gonna be more recreational. Things like cocaine and cannabis.
So, we're gonna be targeting some of those dealers.
Drug dealers are creatures of habit...
This street here is where one of our big operations is focusing on.
..so Connor and another team make for known dealing hotspots.
We're not very subtle
when we go in full kit, but the other car that we've got,
plainclothes.
We can send him to the areas
where we actually do want him to be going to,
and then they can try and intercept them.
Connor is a gym nut, and a fan of Muay Thai,
but he gets his real kicks from taking down drug dealers.
And Brad spot the evening's first possible opponent.
It's a Golf. It's a golf. Where is it? There it is.
Oh, no, he's a delivery driver. Ah, he's a delivery driver.
We've pulled this guy before - he's a delivery driver.
It's not the kind of package Connor was looking for.
But, across town, the other team have eyeballed a deal going down.
Oh, roger, OK. What direction did he go?
Connor dials up the revs and makes for their location.
You've got a known drug dealer that's in the passenger seat
of a '72 plate Corsa,
and he's just got out the car and he's run up to a drug user's.
So, they think he's making a deal.
The two teams plan to box in the car
before they realise cops are onto them.
We've just got to Doddington, you want us to wait here?
We'll get to the traffic lights.
Connor and Brad clock the Corsa coming straight for them...
Yeah, it's here, it's here, mate. Yeah. ..and they make their move.
Hello, buddy. You all right?
Engine off. Can you turn your engine off for a second?
Right, at the minute,
you are detained under section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, OK?
We've had a car which we believe may have seen you make an exchange. OK.
OK. So, you are detained for a search.
Brad, get them to unlock the door. Unlock the door, mate.
A scan of the back seat comes up trumps.
Oi, mate, there's some class A in here, mate.
So, at the minute, you're under arrest,
for possession with intent to supply what I suspect is class A drugs.
What? He said you're nicked,
and that means your phone's coming in, too.
No, get off your phone. Get off your phone.
Get off your phone! Are you done? Get off your phone!
Why're you doing that? Get off your phone.
I'm not on the phone! DIPPED AUDIO
Are you done? Are you done? All right, stand still. Move.
Are you done? Stop playing around, right now!
Do you understand? Is he in cuffs? He's in cuffs. Right, OK.
I'm already in cuffs, fam. What the...
DIPPED AUDIO ..are you gonna do, fam? Stop.
Stop moving like that, you're under arrest, OK?
Honestly, fam, I'm not going anywhere, fam. What the...?
DIPPED AUDIO You are moving too much.
We've got evidence all over the car. I don't care!
The cops suspect the passengers are county lines dealers up from London.
Right, so obviously, this officer here has detained everyone,
we then... There's no officer there.
He's not here at the minute, but the original did that.
We've open the door and found class A on the floor.
That's why you're under arrest at the minute.
With the driver and passengers in cuffs,
Connor can inspect the evening's haul.
Colleagues open the back seat
and there's been a tub of class A in the back seat.
So, they've all been locked up straight away
for possession with intent to supply class A.
The phone Connor wrestled from the passenger means he may also
be able to track down others involved in the suspected deals.
The one that I was handcuffing, as soon as I open that door,
she went and got onto the phone and started trying to talk to someone.
And, for that, that gives them the opportunity to get rid of evidence
if they start phoning people.
Cos we're properly gonna look to be doing section 18s
in people's addresses, and limit any loss of evidence.
I need them to not be on the phone
because they've already been arrested.
So, that's why that bit of a tussle took place...
..which they also weren't very happy about.
Back at the nick...
the suspects are booked...
Just take a step back, mate, but still keep facing that way.
And then arms out for us.
..and the evidence bagged.
So, all the money was being kept in a cigarette pouch.
I keep it in a wallet if I have any, like a normal person.
The arrest has taken over £300
and more than 50 deals of suspected Class A's
off the streets.
£377.80.
It's a cracking start to the weekend for Connor and the team.
Yeah, feeling really good. It's a nice result.
You know, we've got two people from London locked up,
plus a local guy who was driving around,
so that's a good result.
Normally, we have to work a bit harder to try and find drugs,
searching a car. But open the door and it was right in front of us,
a whole load of suspected crack cocaine.
So it's worked really well.
The crowd from the car full of suspect crack
are currently under investigation
for possession with intent to supply Class A.
The lad in the driving seat is also under investigation
for driving whilst disqualified and without insurance.
MAN SHOUTING
Being a police officer is all about putting your faith
in your colleagues and your equipment.
MAN YELPING
Get on the floor!
But the biggest thing you need to trust
is your nose for the truth.
I've got to warn you,
if we do find out you've been messing us about,
you'll be getting arrested for wasting police time.
So, tell me now, have you got a licence?
No, OK. Thought so.
It's quite funny when people start spinning you a yarn,
Because you can just tell
that the cogs are whirring a bit too much.
We can see, basically, that they're just... trying it on.
It's the first breath of Sunday morning.
Snooping around city streets is Scott Kimberley...
Oh, here we go.
..who's just clocked a Range Rover giving it some beans.
DEVICE BEEPS
Very fruitful, coming from the lights.
See what the rest of his driving manner's like.
Scott prefers working the evening shift,
But on nights off, likes kicking back
and watching a Bruce Willis film.
And his sixth sense tells him something's up with this driver.
Hello, driver. Hello.
The reason why I've asked you to stop
is whatever happened at those traffic lights. Sorry?
You absolutely nailed it off those traffic lights then. No.
Yes, you did. No, I...
You put your foot down and you flew.
Hello, you OK? Hello, boss.
You all right?
The car is carrying three people
who've been out celebrating a birthday.
Do you have a licence on you today? Oh, no.
What's your name, please? DISTORTED AUDIO
Perfect. Is that how I spell your name?
Yeah.
I can't seem to find your driving licence at all.
Scott's copper's nose is twitching,
and he can smell something isn't right.
Have you had anything to drink tonight at all?
I don't drink. You don't drink.
We're Muslim. Because you have committed a moving traffic offence
by driving in excess of the speed limit,
I'm just gonna require a sample of breath from you, OK?
The driver says he's teetotal, so he should blow a big fat zero.
Big, deep breath.
Place the mouthpiece in your mouth, good seal,
and then blow until I tell you to stop, OK?
Can you then blow? And blow.
You need to... You're sucking.
You're breathing in, you're going... SCOTT INHALES
Hopefully, he wasn't the one
blowing out the birthday candles tonight!
And blow. And blow.
You're breathing in. You're breathing in, still.
I should blow? You need to blow, yes.
And then blow. Keep going, keep going, keep going. Thank you.
Breathalysers are 95% accurate,
or 94% more accurate than this guy's story.
You've blown a reading of 20,
so you have had a drink tonight, so you are... you are lying to me.
Have a drink? You've had a drink tonight. No, I...
You've passed, which is fine. No, I'm a diabetic, we have...
Yeah, but you've had alcohol tonight,
cos you provided a reading of 20. I have wine.
Huh? Wine.
Yeah, which is alcohol.
So, when I've said, "Have you had a drink tonight?"
You said, "No, I don't drink."
I'm not lying, because the drink I have... Yeah.
..you know, I'm a Muslim, I don't drink, so... Yeah.
It's his birthday, we were excited.
Scott was right to go with his gut feeling.
This driver's story is unravelling like a badly wrapped present.
OK. Do you have your driving licence? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Why did it come from one of your friends at the back?
After claiming to not have his licence,
it's magically appeared.
And when Scott checks it against police databases,
the birthday celebrations come to an end.
OK. At this moment in time, you're under arrest
for driving whilst disqualified and driving with no insurance, OK?
You don't have to say... Insurance?
Yeah, because you can't have insurance if you're disqualified.
So at this moment in time, you are under arrest
for driving whilst disqualified and driving no insurance.
Driving while disqualified and with no insurance
means the party wagon will be seized and the driver taken into custody.
Do you have anything on you at all
that may harm myself or anyone else? No.
And his mates aren't too happy about it.
If I can just ask you just to stay back for us, please?
Yeah, yeah, but I need to know his offence.
Sorry? No, you don't.
What has he got in the offence?
Sorry? Why are you arresting him?
I don't need to tell you, because he's an adult.
I can't tell you, cos he's an adult.
OK? If I can just ask you to take a step back for us.
Yeah, we'll stand back, but boss, I want to know his offence.
That's my brother. No, no.
Look to my face, look to his face. If he's recording...
No, stay back, just stay bank.
Don't touch me, don't touch me.
You're approaching me, you're approaching me. Calm down.
I'm not approaching you. You were, you were taking steps forward.
Calm, calm. This what you call then, yeah?
Calm down, calm down.
Scott is single-crewed, and soon has his hands full.
You are no way taking my brother.
Take a step back, take a step back.
MAN IN HAT: I just want to know... Take a step back.
I can't tell you, because he's an adult.
If he wants to tell you, he can do. I want to know. I want to...
No, you can't. So, you are leaving now.
Right, because you're coming...
Look to my face. I'm going. Stay back. Stay back. Stay back.
Take a step back. So we all has to go?
Yes, ideally, yes.
And you are going to the police station over there?
You can go onto the other side of the road.
I just want you to stay away from me.
JOHN THOMSON: The two lads finally get the message and leave.
And when his blue-light taxi arrives...
If you want to come this way for us.
..the driver is off to the nick.
And he may need another drink by the end of the evening.
Right, this is interesting, then.
Scott's discovered that the driver gave him his mate's licence,
and he isn't disqualified from driving at all.
I'm not banned. No, you're not banned.
If you're who you say you are now, you're not banned,
you're a provisional licence holder.
By failing to produce his provisional licence,
and using his mate's instead,
he's now facing a more serious charge -
obstructing the police.
Next time, if you are who you say you are now,
just tell us that at the roadside,
we can deal with that at the roadside,
we don't have to come to custody.
You've just made... You've made the process
ten times worse through your own actions.
As well as costing hours of Scott's time,
the driver's porkies have cost him a date in court.
From the moment he wound down his window
and I started speaking to him,
I don't think he's really given me an honest answer to anything.
I've lost track of the amount of lies that he's stated.
But we now know who he is,
and he'll have to explain to the magistrates
why he couldn't tell us the truth.
If he'd just told us the truth,
it would have been so much easier for both him and me.
The teetotal timewaster pleaded guilty
to driving without a licence or insurance,
and obstructing the police.
He was ordered to pay £253 and got six points,
and missed the afterparty.
Coming up...
An overloaded motor...
OK, so you've got... one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight people in a car, yeah?
..adds up to a whole lot of trouble for this driver.
You're gonna risk losing your licence now,
I'll be honest with you.
Carrying passengers safely is a simple equation.
The number of seatbelt equals the number of people.
But maths isn't a strong point for some road users,
and every year, thousands are nicked
for dangerously overloading their vehicles.
I've had occasions where you'll get groups of young people
who'll just pile into a car.
You'll have people in the boot, people lying across laps.
And then when you open the car, it's like a...
like the old cartoons with the clown cars,
with people just getting out,
and you're kind of stood there in amazement sometimes.
You know, as a driver, you've got to make sure
you're responsible for the safety of everybody in your car, so...
erm... Yeah, things can go wrong quite quickly
when you haven't got a seatbelt on, that's for sure.
It's late morning on a Sunday.
While stuck in traffic...
How many people in that car?
..Harrison Beverley clocks a car packed with people.
Let me see.
Putting his foot to the floor,
he soon catches up with the Ford Focus.
But even with the blues and twos on...
SIREN WAILS What are you doing?
..he's struggling to make his presence known to the driver.
Turn your engine off!
Turn your engine off.
Turn your engine off!
Several people are crammed in the back of the mid-sized motor.
Sorry.
Are you actually being serious?
Sorry, sir. Are you being serious?
Look at that.
Because that's for them... No.
No. Driving licence, please.
That is so stu... Do you know how dangerous that is?
The driver's smiling, but this is no laughing matter.
How many children have you got in there?
OK, so you've got... one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight people. Eight people in the car, yeah?
Yeah? You're gonna get a ticket for all three children.
Come and have a chat with me.
Overloading your car by more than 30%
can land you in court.
And when Harrison takes a closer look inside,
the driver's problems keep mounting up.
Oh, there's four children.
Ah, even worse. OK.
No, no, it's four.
Four children. Yeah.
So there's four, five, six...
The only spare seat is in the boot.
I'm not being funny, where you gonna put car seats?
On the roof of the car?
Nine people are packed into a car that can legally carry five.
And seven of them are on the back seat.
If you crash, is that a good idea?
As the driver of the car, it's your responsibility
to make sure that... that children are wearing seatbelts.
On average, four unbelted children die
or are seriously injured in a road accident every week.
In all seriousness, if you have a crash...
Yeah. ..where do you think the children are going?
Straight through into the back of the seats. I agree.
You're gonna risk losing your licence now,
I'll be honest with you.
After five years on the force,
Harrison's pet peeves are drunk or disqualified drivers...
WOMAN: He's 12.
13, 12, seven and six. Thank you.
..but ones that put children at risk like this
are also high up on the list.
I think you all really need to have a chat with yourselves
and look at how you're managing the safety of your children.
You know, you might be the best driver in the world,
but if someone comes at you and hits you head-on...
Over the past five decades, seatbelts have saved 375,000 lives.
But around 8% of people still don't wear them on British roads.
A bit lost for words, to be honest with you.
Nine people in one car
and four children not wearing seatbelts is...
it's beyond a joke, to be honest.
It's just dangerous, so he'll...
..he can go to court in relation to all four offences,
gonna risk losing his licence now.
The TARDIS driver was reported for four seatbelt offences,
and was ordered to pay £636 in fines and costs.
Yeah, yeah, you can go. You've signed that.
Thank you. Please don't do it again. Yeah.
Hey. Sorry. That's OK.
