speed over them speed bumps aswell, christ.

 

Blimey!!!

 

There was to much panic from the police car and not enough thinking about what to do. As they said there cars trashed so why not take them out properly??
Good vid though

 

The police should have kept as close to the Audi's rear bumper as possible when it was stopping to put it in reverse, that way it would have reduce the impact.

 

Seen this recently too, in the comments it said the Audi was on the road, taxed and tested.

 

Show's how ineffective speed bumps are

 

Nasty. I doubt there was much more they could have done though.

 

did they catch them ?

 

Can't get too close, bit of a balancing act. Don't want them to decamp and you find you have to waste time reversing before driving around the target vehicle.

 

Good case for a few 9 mils, the police had baddies caught red handed wearing balaclavas after a robbery with aggressive failure to stop.
Light the fuckers up with semi auto in my opinion.

 

I'm surprised these days with cars having network connections, that the police can't remotely shut down a car. Of course you couldn't just switch it off as it will loose brakes and steering etc, but just remotely drop it into neutral or something!

 

I have often thought the same, even limp home mode or misfire etc.

 

There's a version of the Tracker that's been available for about 10 years which allows the Feds to turn the engine down to walking pace - I guess it doesn't allow the dibble to stop the car dead to prevent snarky American coppers from stopping suspects on railway lines as the train is approaching...

Anyway, for some reason it was never sold here. Some minor whinging from the civil liberties group who don't want the police to have the physical powers to control your car in that way. I guess they'd rather just have their cars nicked.

I enjoyed response and pursuit, bit it had a short shelf life for me. Crap shifts, and a stressful job with the ever present threat of prosecution for simply doing your job made it pretty wearing and I only did 2 1/2 years. After one particular incident involving a colleague who was suspended, presumed guikty, and treated quite bqdly until a witness was found who proved he'd done nothing wrong, I jumped ship. Much better hours in CID and much closer to the kettle.
