Was a bit disgusted with the attitude of the cop towards the kid, this was on camera too! What a patronising ego trip attitude the guy has.

The lad in the Civic could easily have complained to the police for endangering his life. What kind of retard pulls someone from the car like that inches away from the inside lane of a motorway? He could of got them both killed.
As for his attitude, I hate to say it but I developed a similar attitude at his age towards the police when I was pulled for the umpteenth time for no apparent reason. They did have a good reason to stop him but i've never seen it written in law that you have to have good manners to someone behaving like that copper did.
I've mellowed now and am always polite to the police (not that they pull me any more).
Most shocking part of the whole thing was the two numpty Scots coppers trying to get to the cottage surrounded by water.
Copper - Lets try the patrol car
Me (at the telly) - Find a boat dimwit
Copper - Lets drive miles away and get a tractor
Me (at the telly) - Find a boat dimwit
Copper - Tractors not working , lets call in the Helicopter
Me (at the telly) - Find a boat dimwit
Copper - Helicopter wont come because of power lines, lets look for a boat.
Me (at the telly) - About f*ing time dimwit
All good entertainment though

Its the young cops who are the pr1cks, they feel they have something to prove!
Lets start a mass complaint against the rambo pr1ck and his school bullied mate who dealt with the CTR!
Did anyone skyplus it, can you look through and get his number!

"But I can't believe the people complaining that the biker didn't get a ticket. He wasn't causing any harm, not undertaking or squeezing between the cars and the barriers. Good luck to him. <flame suit on> If he does it often enough he will get caught.

The copper saw he wasnt riding aggressively or dangerously, so lets not whinge about decent policing with common sense applied. D

Thought the biker bit was ok but thought the police handled the situation with the 18 year old in the Honda CTR all wrong. Completely unproffesional and likely to do more harm to their already tarnished reputation by showing how they deal with problems on shows like this. An aplogly would have made all the differance !!

Agree they were too aggressive with the kid once they had stopped him. It was obvious he wasn't going to run but at the same time it was his own fault.
I think he was very upset with the garage and didn't want to pay out anymore as he said he'd send them the fine. He also said he was waiting for them to send him the plates through so if i was him i'd be taking it up with the place that sold him the car.
Personally i've been stopped by some decent coppers and some muppetts. Last time (just before Christmas) i waited patiently while they checked out the Scobby for stolen/insurance etc. I have no problem with that because if i have to pay why shouldn't others?
If i was the copper i'd have asked him how he'd feel if they'd pulled someone else out of his car (i.e. a car thief) and not him. I doubt he'd have been bothered then at which point they should have apologised but at least they'd have explained.
With the biker i didn't think he had a problem really. Had him for arriving quickly on the motorway and then behaving himself. Not a lot he could do and would have been a bit harsh too. Bloke could have been off if he'd wanted to anyway!

If so you dont deserve a badge and thats putting it politely!
Ive been done for 79 on the motorway by a pr1ck who assumed i was a *** cos i was 26 driving a modded impreza! I was polite until he was disrespectful to me(calling me sonny, asking if it was my car repeatedly despite the fact its registered to me! being a general *** etc!).
The copper said 90-95 mph without even trying! ******* double standards cos you know that copper does the same on his bike, the tw@t!

The way that copper handled the guy in the ctr was plain out of order. the guy pulled over as soon as the lights came on. That copper was plain stupid tring to drag someone who was cooperating out of their car 6 inches away from the traffic in lane 1. He was on a power trip playing upto the cameras, no two ways about it, same goes for his plank of a mate. What about innocent until proven guilty.

18 year old with a civic type r - max possible 1 year max ncb - insurance quote anyone ??!!
felt sorry for the ladder chap but at least he will remember the next time to double check his ladders ??!!
a lot off rights and wrongs on both sides but having seen the scum these folks have to deal with day in day out from watching these very programmes then I can understand why so many cops have the attitude they do, in saying that suppose thats what they are supposed to be trained to deal with in the first place.
guys with the cable - once again shows u that some crime surely does pay !!
