Bonehead

Pink_Floyd

Is this a spoof 'fly on the wall' ? 'cause I'm struggling not to believe it is not

pslewis

lol, i like it

Pink_Floyd

I don't have issue with people who are breaking the law getting the full weight of it thrown in their face. I do object to idiots like are featured on this documentary spouting off and taking personal delight in believing they are somehow moral evangelicalists!

pslewis

I've turned it off ... was making my blood boil!!

Ginger cop says their called the "Black Rats" the more I watch he's comming across as a Ginger ****.

Torquemada

Doesn't seem so bad to me.

Me too, they bikker like a pair of be'aches and make me laugh.

Some people take TV far to seriously.

Torquemada

Indeed, at least they aren't like a couple of automatons! Entertaining stuff, whether or not I agree with their opinions.

Pink_Floyd

Its got a lot better now they have some serious issues to deal with. My best mate is a fireman and the accidents he's been too are truly shocking. Not a job I'd wish on anyone.

Torquemada

I tell you what does make my blood boil. Some of the limp wristed punishments handed out, I can't believe that someone who caused death behind the wheel received such a minor penalty!!!!

(actually, I can believe it but it still winds me up no end, and clearly it is something the Police have an issue with too. Magistrates etc. seem to have **** all clue!)

The last half was pretty sobering actually. You can see why they are so **** sometimes over speeding or the likes whej they stop people .... I think I would be if I had to go and scrape bodies off the roads and tell their loved ones they had died at the hands of careless driving.

Moley

Agreed. Very moving second half of the programme

Glowplug

No, that was fekkin disgusting. The courts really don't seem to have a handle on the real world at all, or the destruction these people cause.

Bonehead

I'm in this lots trade (Though not a Black rat), I was chatting with a magistrate one day and she told me how little freedom they actually had when it comes to sentancing. The Government, in particular the last lot, structure the punishments so much that there is very little that the magistrate can put down leading to quite a bit of frustration.
Though it also has to be said that there are some v out of touch ones too

The first half of that show I thought was making an open dig at cops, but the second half was a very sobering look at one of the worst parts of the job

Looking forward to next week, response, the backbone of Plodding!

Including the 999 call because of kids arguing over a wii by the looks of it

Bonehead

Yup, anything the public throws at us!

Richie856

Not so much a 999, but we've had great calls like in the middle of winter

Posh chap: Can you send 2 officers round to clear the snow from my drive!!

Torquemada

Yeah it seems there is no consistency or logic with regards the sentences/punishments handed out.

Aye, it's basically a right mess by the sounds of that! Glad the show managed to actually show some of the barriers to justice and horrible situations these guys have to deal with.

First half of the show seemed a bit of a dig but was probably just to contextualise the second half, thankfully. Bit bored of the anti police brigade, damned if they do, damned if they don't, as ever

Dedrater

I liked the show, very good. The bit at the start made me lol, ne nor ne nor ne etc

Didin't watch it, but couldn't be a copper myself. They have to jump through a million hoops to arrest someone, only for the offender to get a slap on the wrists and be back on the street doing the same thing two minutes later. Must be soul destroying..... all credit to them fro sticking to it.

Yes, there are ******* parading as police out there too, but there are in all walks of life. You have to remember these guys and girls risk their lives every day trying to stop bad things happening to decent people, usually getting **** for it from both sides, so you have to accept they're gonna have their bad days and be short on patience sometimes, just like anyone else

SPEN555

Right load of crap. Just propaganda to justify having traffic police. I bet they don't show doing someone for doing 32mph in a 30mph

I guess those gypsies at the end must have been travelling in the caravan. There was not much left of it.

Glowplug

iTrader: (8)

Better than some of the police stop **** that really are all propaganda.


If you are a law obiding motorist then the traffic police can only be doing good. If you are breaking the law, then you get pulled. Simples.

These people 'want' to be police. Of course if that is your calling then you will enjoy arresting/reporting people and doing your job to the full.

Richie856

When it comes to things like fatals, we definitely need them. I certainly wouldn't want to be left with it.
As for being done for 32 in a 30, I'd like someone to say they've been prosecuted for it.

There are guidelines:
30-39 - a warning
40-49 - a ticket
50+ - a report case
(based on human and not camera involvement! )

Totally agree.

They are in a lose lose situation. One minute people want rid of speed cameras and the like, and to have more police out there, then when they are and are doing their job, people complain about them being 'little hitlers' so to speak.

Of course there will be some that are power hungry and like to perhaps assert their authority a little too much by some peoples standards, but this goes for many professions.

I'm acually a little curious as to what people really want. To be able to do anything they want/believe to be ok, and be left alone?

^^ Treat us like human beings & assume we're innocent until proven guilty is a good place to start

I thought it was a good programme tonight, being called to scenes of accidents like that head on collision must be horrible, I could not do that as my everyday job.
