When a drink driver has an "ACCIDENT", and there is a fatality/fatalities, I ALWAYS say it was capital murder!!!! I was left to grow up NEVER knowing my paternal grandmother who was murdered by a 17 year old drunk driver way back in 1949. My grandmother was busy my mum from England. I am a Canadian now living in Greece. Keep safe and God Bless ALL of the EMERGENCY RESPONDERS AND POLICE all over the world
Me and my colleague was driving to and from the elderly as carers and we were hit full side on by a drink driver literally leaving his drive. It is no joke. They deserve so much time. And those kids are so lucky to have him away from them in that state
Can we take a moment to appreciate laura ❤️ The blonde female officer ❤️ She is so so experienced.. and her people skills are outstanding ❤️ Go Laura 💪🏼💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you for dealing with DRUNK PEOPLE WHO DRIVE CARS ON THE ROAD WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AND CHOOSING NOT TO DRINK BCOS THEY DO NOT WANT TO RISK HURTING ANYONE👊🏽
I notice the males seem to think they can be more disrespectful towards the force when they are dealing with women officers. The law is the law regardless of sex, and proves these offenders will cross lines whenever they can.
Some of these single moms are without question hands-down the bravest, most intelligent, most charismatic most impressive people I personally believe you could possibly ever meet. I’m a guy myself and I was pretty much raised by a single mom and I can’t even tell you the level of respect that I have for that
I agree. But I’m concerned about the long term implications of giving women a false sense of identity. Next thing you know they’ll want equal pay and might even want the right to vote…
an aunt of mine (well, my dad's cousin, but to me and my sister she was our aunt) was found deceased by the police after her neighbours noticed that the bathroom light was still on for most of the weekend, and the curtains hadn't moved... they called the cops who used the neighbours' key to enter the house... to this day we still don't know what happened other than that she died of natural causes (it isn't even sure which day she died, so the date was set on the day that she was found)... I was at my parents place when the cops called them to notify them (she didn't have any contact with her brother & his kids due to an old family feud, so basically my parents were her closest family)... I take my hat off to the guys that came to tell us (our local cops came after having been relayed the info by my aunt's local force who found her)... the ones that found her came to her funeral in case anyone had any additional questions over how she was found... they didn't have to do that, but they did it anyway...
I'm a serving officer. It isn't always easy, but you try and "switch off". Inside i'm a very nice guy with a big heart, but during "sudden deaths" as they are called when ambulance crews call police to check the body and the premises and decide whether the death is natural, or suspicious, I always remain professional and I switch off completely emotionally. I've known colleagues to burst out crying at sudden deaths, where someone has died upstairs and the family are downstairs in tears, I tend to not let it get to me and just be as professional, compassionate and as calm as I can be. In the near 5 years i've been doing the job, i've probably encountered close to 20 dead people, had to search their body (at skin level, removal of clothes - to ensure they weren't stabbed, strangled, etc and rule out any possibility of a crime related death) which isn't particularly pleasant but it has to be done. I've done just two death messages where you knock on the next of kin's address and tell them, most of the unexpected sudden deaths i've been to have been elderly people who have carers and often DNAR's in place (Do Not Attempt Resuscitation). The only two i've ever done that really stick with me, the first one I was very new in service, early part of 2018, a bloke found hanging in a park, it was the day of my 23rd birthday and I was first on scene with an experienced colleague, who back then had about 15 years service. He lived literally just over the road and had committed suicide, it was a horrible rainy day and he was found in the middle of a park in a basketball court, having tied his neck to the fence and knelt down and leant forward. Believed to have died overnight and was found by a dog walker the next morning who called us. After we'd dealt with the body, and the undertakers had collected it, my colleague and me got back into the car, we drove literally 1 minute up the road, and parked outside a house, my colleague told me "wait here" and got out, and walked into the house, whilst I continued doing the paperwork, initially I didn't know where he had gone or what he was doing, but it dawned on me moments later this was where the deceased's male had lived, my colleague went inside alone, spoke with his parents, and asked to see a photo of their son to confirm that it was definitely him, which it was. About 20 minutes later he came back out of the address and we drove back to the station and started doing the necessary paperwork and admin work. We didn't talk much about it, but he did tell me not to let it get to me, it was a natural part of life, and if it got to me too much then to talk to someone about it. He didn't admit this, but he didn't want to take me into the address as he told the guy's parents their son had killed himself given how early in my career I was, there's a good chance it would have put me right off and made me think twice. When I finished my shift that day and got home, around 4PM, I tried to hold it back but I cried, I spent the rest of that day feeling miserable and depressed, this was the second death i'd been to, but the first suicide, he was only in his mid 30's and so it really stuck with me. It sticks with me because of where he was found, and it was a horrible cold, dark, rainy day and as I was searching this body in a public park (with passers by walking past and saying "Oh that's horrible" when they realised what had happened) his clothes were soaked, and even through my latex gloves I could still feel his soaked clothing. The other one that really sticks with me, was a young lad, approximately late 30's, who died at his home alone, he had numerous medical conditions including a weak heart, diabetes, and other chronic health problems. He was known to be a drug user and usually took cocaine on a daily basis. He died in a bedroom whilst he was trying to get into the bathroom, after having consumed a lot of cocaine he then vomitted, when we arrived we searched his bedroom and there was black fluid (vomit) everywhere, all over the bed, over the white carpet, there was a bucket full of it next to his bed. When I turned his head sideways to check for injuries, to rule out any signs of a struggle or crime related death, I heard the horrible sound which i'll never forget of blood trickling out of his ear canal and dripping onto the carpet. These types of incidents affect different people in different ways, some people can't deal with them at all, and break down in tears and are always thinking about them, i'm the latter sort of person who goes to the incident, deals with it professional and courteously, then gets on with the rest of the shift. I might think about it after i've finished my shift and got home, but generally speaking unless there's a particular reason for it to stick in my memory most of the time I don't remember them or get upset or think about it too much after.
@@thefiestaguy8831 Thanks for sharing this side of law enforcement. Most people dont really think about what all cops deal with on a regular basis, i know I didnt. Not until a night on the interstate. I wont go into detail here, ill just give the short version. My friend and I were first on scene as we were traveling to Boston for a construction job. Small car pulled in front of semi going 65mph. Anyway we were working on opening the passenger door when the first State Trooper arrived. We got the door open he entered the car and got the passenger out the door we opened. Her seat had slammed all the way back crushing a little girl in a child seat. I could hear the Trooper (still hear him) saying "Oh baby, oh baby" over in over and his voice was just, you could hear the pain in it. He got her free and said "Somebody help me!" The truck driver and I kind of stutter stepped each other and I said "Right behind you officer". He then passed the maybe 10-14 month old girl out the drivers side window to me and I could tell her head had been crushed. She was dead. The Trooper got out the car and said "Lay her down", the truck driver tore his shirt off and I laid her on it. The Trooper started CPR but it was to late, hell it was probably to late seconds after the accident. After that night it became clear to me just how much more there is to the jobs our First Responders do. I told this story on line and this one guy commented about how that Trooper that night just had an exceptionally bad night and that their job wasnt as bad as I made it out to be. I told him that no, that night was exceptionally bad for me and my buddy but for that Trooper and other police, scenes like that were way to frequent to be anything but an expected part of their job. Hell its in the job description pretty much. Thanks for doing the job you do and never forget there are plenty of people who are thankful you are out there.
When the time comes we all know it in some way. My grandad waited until we all left his bed side before going, he wanted to take that last step on his own,, a lot of people want to be alone when they go, saves all the pity and sadness,,some can do without that carry on.
Law was pretty tough on drink drivers when I was in England back in the 80s. One of our mates got nicked because he went to sleep in the backseat while drunk. Cops said he had his keys so he had control of a vehicle. Big fine and six months suspension.
Dedication and day is day shift night is night shift...they even do it on trains, factories, army, fire, ambulance oh all sorts of jobs don't you get it ...awwww, privileged are we lol idiot.
At my job, it would be impossible to Only work 1 of 3 shifts. You can try to say no to working nights.. But you still need to do morning & evening shifts..
Because they can't get enough people to work permanent nights, or lates, if they did it that way instead. All of those systems also have proven (statistically) health impacts too. So they do what works & gets them enough people.
I think these women are very brave and strong! But when checking the women who was obviously wasted on Methadone she forgot to check all the way done her legs especially her socks. She could easily had. Knife in her socks. For their win protection they need to be more thorough.
It's not about sex or roles, it's about being professional , de escalate and solve problems. For that you have to have a special character, a atrenght and a willingness to listen and to stop listening and be assertive. It's not for everyone, not for me as an example, so i always admire anyone that chooses that line of work, police officers, firefighters. Our police, the civil is very nice, friendly and i have nothing but praise. Wishing you guys to stay safe, to stay honest and remember, not everyobe could do your job. 🎉
@@fainitesbarley2245 yep, they're all pretty cheap! Especially in what looked like Ravenscliffe, likely need replacing quite regularly so best to keep prices low!
Came across drink driver once in McDonald’s drive through, he wasn’t moving so checked to see if he was okay and he was asleep in front seat. I woke him up and he smelt of booze, had multiple pizza boxes in his car. Let drive through know who phoned the police, hope he realised how dangerous it was when he woke up!
My elderly mother lives independently in the country side. She has a lifeline button around her neck she can push if she’s in trouble. I highly recommend it.
Does it tramser the location, even outside the home? Otherwise you should also get a gps tracker that you put in the shoe or something similar. Then you can see where she is all the time. If something happens that makes her not being able to raise the alarm & respond is vital that ypu can find ghem in some other way
I know that when one of my parents goes, getting the remaining parent one of those things is going to be all that keeps me from dragging them to live with me the next day. They're in their sixties now, but I don't worry about them too much while they still have each other. It'll be when one of them is left alone that I start to worry.
Those are OK till there's a power cut, put the base unit on a UPS, if it's connected to an IP phone put the router on it too. Power cuts increase the chance of trips & falls, & disable the unit (and phone if Virgin Media decide not to run a real phone line & put you on an IP phone instead).
where I live the council has a roving warden and issues an alarm pendant for me to wear. If I fall I need help to get up from the floor I've had them out twice
This is Great to watch. Like us They're Normal ppl. Worry about doing a Great job. Then they put on that Uniform and a Different Confidant officer. They're Awesome.
Incredible how much they suddenly care about the consequences (to them, and only them) when they're caught breaking the law. Could they just.. not? Would surely be easier for everyone involved!
Haribo Gummibaeren. Two main things make people who don't smoke and drink unhealthy. Lack of daily exercise and consumption of Nutella, jelly babies and meat and dairy, the choice is yours.
Donald died in his bed and was more likely fast asleep in his own home. Sounds like he was on the go until the very end. When I go that's what I want as do many others. I don't want people around my death bed waiting for me to die, I just want to go in my sleep in my bed. Being a first responder I know it does not happen like that, I have been to way too many cardiac arrests and people found in their homes dead. I am not scared of dying, unlike a lot it just does not scare me at all. I have held people's hand's as they have passed away, and sometimes when I go to a home in a 999 call, all you can do sometimes is hold a hand.
You have comforted so many people and that means so much to them and their families! I don't know any of the people that helped save my life 27 years ago when I was in a dune buggy wreck & shattered my skull but I am thankful to this day for their skills and kindness. I'm hoping to pass in my sleep someday also, I think I've caused enough stress to my loved ones already!? 😉🙏
No sympathy for the man who had kids in car 😡 shocking think he needs to seek help you kids life is precious and as a parent your there to protect them,
She said he blew 64 - what is the drink drive limit in the UK currently? I ask becasue in Canada it is .8 and anyone over .5 is given a 24 hour suspension
It's only 22mg in Scotland, it was reduced from 35mg back in December 2014. Its also illegal for shops/supermarkets to sell alcohol after 10pm in Scotland but not anywhere else in the UK
5:00 Police Officers unlawfully using s.17 PACE for the summary offence of Common Assault. Section 17 powers to force entry are for indictable offences, and to save life and limb. It is not an excuse to play up for a Television production company at the expense of a member of the public who has had an allegation made against them. Such a valuable lesson for a brand new recruit still on her probation period.
2:21 It would do my head in, having to have all those bits and pieces attached to my person before beginning a shift. I would be continuously convinced I had either forgotten and or dropped something. Worrying that an individual (who might be one of the nicest people on earth) can still end up dying alone. I have absolutely no idea why this happens to some and not to others. Knew the brother would withdraw charges of assault.
@@scottytoast5 you think you can come here and start shooting people? You will be shot dead by our UK police very quickly. Most police don't carry guns, but armed police is always ready to respond when necessary
Donald, at 88, should have a Key-Safe with keys to open his door. The police would have the PIN number on their CAD system. They have mine. My carers have often told me about a DOA they have come across on their rounds, it adds hours to their round, that they don't get paid for, and late for all the other calls. And they don't get used to it, EVER.
Not sure why carers would get paid for time spent not doing their jobs though. Anyone with any kind of job who came across someone deceased and needed to contact the police would have exactly the same problem of being stuck there for hours waiting to be interviewed and cleared.
@@mydogeatspuke You seem to think that carers are the ones who work for a service company. There are tens of thousands of people, in families, who care for ill, sick, long term disabled, and only get the bare minimum from the taxes they have paid into until that moment they have to leave work and look after their family. They are worse paid than anyone working as a carer. Understand that FULL-TIME CARER means exactly that. Or you could just be a typical English, and a hater of everyone disabled?
@@Demun1649 nope, nothing of the sort crossed my mind! I was responding directly to your initial comment clearly talking about paid carer staff who have shift patterns and drive to multiple clients a day. Nothing more, nothing less. But thanks for taking your problems out on me, that's very sane of you!
@@mydogeatspuke As someone who uses carers EVERY DAY, I am sure I am more aware than you of the reality. Your post was excluding many possibilities, but then you just HATE the disabled.
@@Demun1649 perhaps you should remind them to dispense your meds, as you've clearly missed a few doses. I haven't done or said any of the things you're having an episode over.
I don't actually like the police much however this is why I like the police,the Policewoman at the beginning Sarah I've got to say is a credit to the police see if she still holds hands years down the line, emotional involved is why a lot of people have PTSD!!! Anyway good cooper!!! Oh my God I commented before the Donald incident and that other Policewoman almost made me cry ,the police can be fantastic when there good but when there bad there very very bad!
These men and women do a good job 99% of the time there is always that 1% or 1 slip up of minute error heat of the time that is high lighted this job is not simple its complicated espically with so many cultures on board i wanted to join the force like my Dad Rest in peace but i failed due to height 5ft 7 min height req then was 5ft 8 no props i moved on and done well in the motor trade not the same buss as the force
Yes the can. Quite rightly the police can arrest anyone on suspicion if something. If you go to police and say I assaulted you the police can and will arrest me on suspicion of assault. If I say you were drink driving they can arrest you for drink driving . That's how a good police force works!
@@lynryall1317 ..... I won't answer to your insult, can someone not ask about the legal aspect of things without getting insulted ? you commented and didn't even answer my question. Its annoying.
Yes your right. They do need to arrest so they can put him on the machine at the station. Then you would of thought they would go the chippy and ask for cctv or ask for a statement to see if he was driving. They need the results off the machine at the police station at that time to have a accurate reading for his alcohol level.
Not really important but out of date yogurts stay perfectly fine for weeks in the fridge. Also one of the things you can very safely buy on sale with only a few days left on expiery.
The metropolitan police had the idea that there could be consequences for police officers who fail the fitness test after joining. But so far, nothing has been implemented. (As evidenced by the metropolitan police's sergeant Andy Sharp who claims the title of Britain's fattest bobby)
Doesn't matter who you are, you could work for the Royal family or be a celebrity. If you drink and drive, you're going to prison. Unless you're Katie Price, obviously.
November 2009 featured the passage of a law named after then-11-year-old drink-driving victim Leandra Rosado, appropriately named Leandra's Law. Although I'm not aware of any jurisdiction, bar the US state of New York, under whose penal code drink-driving with 1 or more passengers no older than 15 is automatically prosecuted as a felony, driving drunk with a minor in a vehicle should be considered an aggravating factor.
wow. am i not surprised. that happens everyday here in texas.would i do something about it? nope.none of my business since i hate beer and alcohol in general as well as smoking.
Not sticking up for him but how can they arrest him for drink driving based on a witness, don’t the police have to catch them red. Handed behind the wheel of the car?
Becky says she doesn't like drunk drivers. So to relax, she and her colleagues go to a pub and start drinking. I hope none of them (including her) got in a car and drove home.
These police are carrying so much equipment, so bulky and restricting, they cannot wear a seatbelt properly. It can' t be right not good for their health.
Everyone is a potential drunk driver, I believe you mean suspected. This guy was drunk and he was driving. That doesn't leave room for "potential". That man should have been taken to a hospital and watched my mother die. Her brains were scattered all over the road, even against someone's car and the driver was only "allegedly" drunk for two years. Blew 2 1/2 times over the legal limit, blood test came back the same and he was only "allegedly" until it went to court. Everyone saw him get to the bar drunk, drink 4 beers in 90 minutes and drive away again. Police cars with sirens could have saved her life. God forbid someone you know gets smeared across the road and someone says it's not a real crime.
@@Foojaleeckalikeelamaka You and I are potential drunk drivers (well, I"m not because I don't drive but if I could...) we have the potential. People reported him as drunk and he was. They probably saved at least one life. Drunk driving is a real crime.
“Somethings not right here” you’re spot on, you’ve been drink driving, that’s absolutely not the right thing to do

You both ok just a stupid thing to do
I’ve never seen this show before but, it’s really good. Very detailed and the officers seem to care about their community and the people they serve.

The addition of women to police forces has always proved to be a very positive move.
In Sweden men aren't allowed to search women and I think it's the same when it comes to pee drug tests.
@@MsStina84 that's the same in the UK. Common sense is a lovely thing.

The old lad is a boy scout at heart, going out with the boys to get a cold one.🍺
Haribos for snacking on the go --- classic!
Law was pretty tough on drink drivers when I was in England back in the 80s. One of our mates got nicked because he went to sleep in the backseat while drunk. Cops said he had his keys so he had control of a vehicle.
Big fine and six months suspension.
I love these shows. And this one is top notch. What lovely coppers.
I think the shift system must wreak havoc with their sleep cycles. I wonder why they do it that way. Not very healthy 🤔
Dedication and day is day shift night is night shift...they even do it on trains, factories, army, fire, ambulance oh all sorts of jobs don't you get it ...awwww, privileged are we lol idiot.
@@lynryall1317 should be permanent days or permanent nights not chop and change thats not right.
At my job, it would be impossible to Only work 1 of 3 shifts. You can try to say no to working nights..
But you still need to do morning & evening shifts..
Because they can't get enough people to work permanent nights, or lates, if they did it that way instead.
All of those systems also have proven (statistically) health impacts too.
So they do what works & gets them enough people.
Praying for these awesome women ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I think these women are very brave and strong! But when checking the women who was obviously wasted on Methadone she forgot to check all the way done her legs especially her socks. She could easily had. Knife in her socks. For their win protection they need to be more thorough.
It's not about sex or roles, it's about being professional , de escalate and solve problems.
For that you have to have a special character, a atrenght and a willingness to listen and to stop listening and be assertive.
It's not for everyone, not for me as an example, so i always admire anyone that chooses that line of work, police officers, firefighters.
Our police, the civil is very nice, friendly and i have nothing but praise. Wishing you guys to stay safe, to stay honest and remember, not everyobe could do your job. 🎉
On that first call that has to be the cheapest door I have ever seen. it just exploded when he hit it🤣🤣 you're not keeping anybody out with that
That was public housing. Council or Housing Association housing.
@@fainitesbarley2245 yep, they're all pretty cheap! Especially in what looked like Ravenscliffe, likely need replacing quite regularly so best to keep prices low!
Came across drink driver once in McDonald’s drive through, he wasn’t moving so checked to see if he was okay and he was asleep in front seat. I woke him up and he smelt of booze, had multiple pizza boxes in his car. Let drive through know who phoned the police, hope he realised how dangerous it was when he woke up!
Moooving on!🐮 😂😂
I laughed out loud at that too 😂
My elderly mother lives independently in the country side. She has a lifeline button around her neck she can push if she’s in trouble. I highly recommend it.
Does it tramser the location, even outside the home?
Otherwise you should also get a gps tracker that you put in the shoe or something similar. Then you can see where she is all the time. If something happens that makes her not being able to raise the alarm & respond is vital that ypu can find ghem in some other way
I know that when one of my parents goes, getting the remaining parent one of those things is going to be all that keeps me from dragging them to live with me the next day. They're in their sixties now, but I don't worry about them too much while they still have each other. It'll be when one of them is left alone that I start to worry.
Those are OK till there's a power cut, put the base unit on a UPS, if it's connected to an IP phone put the router on it too.
Power cuts increase the chance of trips & falls, & disable the unit (and phone if Virgin Media decide not to run a real phone line & put you on an IP phone instead).
where I live the council has a roving warden and issues an alarm pendant for me to wear. If I fall I need help to get up from the floor I've had them out twice
"Moooving on".. cute lol
And sometimes a handhold makes all the difference Ma'am 💖✌️
This is Great to watch. Like us They're Normal ppl. Worry about doing a Great job. Then they put on that Uniform and a Different Confidant officer. They're Awesome.
Ya love ya kids and ya have a job ya don’t want to lose… don’t drink and drive then… SIMPLE
Rest in peace Donald 😥♥️
Bless her... Sarah.. She's a decent sort.. They all are..
MOOving on xD my fav line
Incredible how much they suddenly care about the consequences (to them, and only them) when they're caught breaking the law. Could they just.. not? Would surely be easier for everyone involved!
Best moment
That was a excellent episode. 💙
Haribo Gummibaeren. Two main things make people who don't smoke and drink unhealthy. Lack of daily exercise and consumption of Nutella, jelly babies and meat and dairy, the choice is yours.
Donald died in his bed and was more likely fast asleep in his own home. Sounds like he was on the go until the very end. When I go that's what I want as do many others. I don't want people around my death bed waiting for me to die, I just want to go in my sleep in my bed.
Being a first responder I know it does not happen like that, I have been to way too many cardiac arrests and people found in their homes dead. I am not scared of dying, unlike a lot it just does not scare me at all. I have held people's hand's as they have passed away, and sometimes when I go to a home in a 999 call, all you can do sometimes is hold a hand.
You have comforted so many people and that means so much to them and their families! I don't know any of the people that helped save my life 27 years ago when I was in a dune buggy wreck & shattered my skull but I am thankful to this day for their skills and kindness. I'm hoping to pass in my sleep someday also, I think I've caused enough stress to my loved ones already!? 😉🙏
Sorry lady but your teenage girls ARE aware you lean on them...you just dont want that to be so but believe me they are.
No sympathy for the man who had kids in car 😡 shocking think he needs to seek help you kids life is precious and as a parent your there to protect them,
Driving drunk is bad. But doing it with yoir children in the car, any children in that matter. Agghh, beats me i tell ya!
20:42 my sense of humour 🥲
09:44 He should have said "I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING".
She said he blew 64 - what is the drink drive limit in the UK currently? I ask becasue in Canada it is .8 and anyone over .5 is given a 24 hour suspension
It’s 33 or something like that
35
I think she said 1.6, double the 8 that is the limit there.
It's only 22mg in Scotland, it was reduced from 35mg back in December 2014. Its also illegal for shops/supermarkets to sell alcohol after 10pm in Scotland but not anywhere else in the UK
@@YvonneXxXxXI think we should follow the same route here in Wales, to be honest.
Did he die alone in a cold, dark and damp room? How sad. God help us all.
❤❤❤ the video. you are doing a great job proud of you .
5:00 Police Officers unlawfully using s.17 PACE for the summary offence of Common Assault. Section 17 powers to force entry are for indictable offences, and to save life and limb. It is not an excuse to play up for a Television production company at the expense of a member of the public who has had an allegation made against them. Such a valuable lesson for a brand new recruit still on her probation period.
Would be great if there uniform could be made more light weight. I couldn’t imagine trekking that around all day
What cow.ard left the fence open 😆
A job where you have to face the good the bad and the ugly......
2:21 It would do my head in, having to have all those bits and pieces attached to my person before beginning a shift. I would be continuously convinced I had either forgotten and or dropped something. Worrying that an individual (who might be one of the nicest people on earth) can still end up dying alone. I have absolutely no idea why this happens to some and not to others. Knew the brother would withdraw charges of assault.
That door look like it was made out off
styrofoam xD
Sarah is an amazing holding the patient hands
Top cop Laura places sauce on table 18:20 - Sweeney fashion. 😮 😄
UK police is so different to American police
Yeah uk police don't shoot people for no reason
@@Jimbo-gi7xn i mean they cant even shoot people, the least the police can do is taser someone
@@scottytoast5 I mean our highly skilled firearms cops can
@@itsweb1584 *casually brandishes a taser* well yes but you guys have guns
@@scottytoast5 you think you can come here and start shooting people? You will be shot dead by our UK police very quickly. Most police don't carry guns, but armed police is always ready to respond when necessary
Last of the summer wine bunch. Must surely be Truly, I don't see him as Compo, or Howard.
Great show ❤️
Donald, at 88, should have a Key-Safe with keys to open his door. The police would have the PIN number on their CAD system. They have mine. My carers have often told me about a DOA they have come across on their rounds, it adds hours to their round, that they don't get paid for, and late for all the other calls. And they don't get used to it, EVER.
Not sure why carers would get paid for time spent not doing their jobs though. Anyone with any kind of job who came across someone deceased and needed to contact the police would have exactly the same problem of being stuck there for hours waiting to be interviewed and cleared.
@@mydogeatspuke You seem to think that carers are the ones who work for a service company. There are tens of thousands of people, in families, who care for ill, sick, long term disabled, and only get the bare minimum from the taxes they have paid into until that moment they have to leave work and look after their family. They are worse paid than anyone working as a carer. Understand that FULL-TIME CARER means exactly that. Or you could just be a typical English, and a hater of everyone disabled?
@@Demun1649 nope, nothing of the sort crossed my mind! I was responding directly to your initial comment clearly talking about paid carer staff who have shift patterns and drive to multiple clients a day. Nothing more, nothing less. But thanks for taking your problems out on me, that's very sane of you!
@@mydogeatspuke As someone who uses carers EVERY DAY, I am sure I am more aware than you of the reality. Your post was excluding many possibilities, but then you just HATE the disabled.
@@Demun1649 perhaps you should remind them to dispense your meds, as you've clearly missed a few doses. I haven't done or said any of the things you're having an episode over.
I don't actually like the police much however this is why I like the police,the Policewoman at the beginning Sarah I've got to say is a credit to the police see if she still holds hands years down the line, emotional involved is why a lot of people have PTSD!!! Anyway good cooper!!! Oh my God I commented before the Donald incident and that other Policewoman almost made me cry ,the police can be fantastic when there good but when there bad there very very bad!
Did she just say “(hepatitis c) is probably worse than a punch in the face, to be honest ”… 😐🤔 wtf
I was arrested by PC Becky Thompson.
Hep C has been curable in Canada for 5 or more years now.
note the complete lack of facemasks. This is therefore recorded before 2019, perhaps even more than 5 years ago
first 5 mins says it all
Laura..huge fan here.
Thanks!
Thanks for the support! ❤
These men and women do a good job 99% of the time there is always that 1% or 1 slip up of minute error heat of the time that is high lighted this job is not simple its complicated espically with so many cultures on board i wanted to join the force like my Dad
Rest in peace but i failed due to height 5ft 7 min height req then was 5ft 8 no props i moved on and done well in the motor trade not the same buss as the force
If the cops didn't see him at the wheel can they really charge him for a DUI ?
Does it matter what if he by driving drunk killed your mum, dad, gran or grandad, brother sister ...think before you post idiotic comments
Yes the can. Quite rightly the police can arrest anyone on suspicion if something. If you go to police and say I assaulted you the police can and will arrest me on suspicion of assault. If I say you were drink driving they can arrest you for drink driving . That's how a good police force works!
@@Jimbo-gi7xn they can arrest but what happens after if no proof is found ? is the other persons word worth more then yours ?
@@lynryall1317 ..... I won't answer to your insult, can someone not ask about the legal aspect of things without getting insulted ? you commented and didn't even answer my question. Its annoying.
Yes your right. They do need to arrest so they can put him on the machine at the station. Then you would of thought they would go the chippy and ask for cctv or ask for a statement to see if he was driving. They need the results off the machine at the police station at that time to have a accurate reading for his alcohol level.
I hope Happy Valley has influenced this
Two years on probation seems a long time....
a police constable's job is to uphold the law and keep the peace. a police "officer's" job is to enforce policy, statutes and acts
What absolute cobblers. Police officer and police constable are exactly the same thing
Imagine her running after you.. your doing a light jog to get away cos she keeps stopping picking up the haribo falling out her pocket
Not really important but out of date yogurts stay perfectly fine for weeks in the fridge. Also one of the things you can very safely buy on sale with only a few days left on expiery.
What are the requirements for staying in shape ? Or have they just done away with them
The metropolitan police had the idea that there could be consequences for police officers who fail the fitness test after joining. But so far, nothing has been implemented. (As evidenced by the metropolitan police's sergeant Andy Sharp who claims the title of Britain's fattest bobby)
Doesn't matter who you are, you could work for the Royal family or be a celebrity. If you drink and drive, you're going to prison.
Unless you're Katie Price, obviously.
When it starts, skip forward to 1.44 if you want to avoid the padding.
That Beck Thompson is super cute and hot! Is there any info on her? Like is she married etc?
November 2009 featured the passage of a law named after then-11-year-old drink-driving victim Leandra Rosado, appropriately named Leandra's Law. Although I'm not aware of any jurisdiction, bar the US state of New York, under whose penal code drink-driving with 1 or more passengers no older than 15 is automatically prosecuted as a felony, driving drunk with a minor in a vehicle should be considered an aggravating factor.
A police officer that doubts herself doesn't fill me with confidence
What a cool inspector, and she’s yummy.
wow. am i not surprised. that happens everyday here in texas.would i do something about it? nope.none of my business since i hate beer and alcohol in general as well as smoking.
I was lucky I did not get any homework
How can you arrest someone that was not court drink driving, don’t get me wrong as my granddaughter was killed by a drunk driver/druggie,
Not sticking up for him but how can they arrest him for drink driving based on a witness, don’t the police have to catch them red. Handed behind the wheel of the car?
He admitted to driving the car.
No?
Women need to make up 75% of the workforce so they can get equal pay.
Becky says she doesn't like drunk drivers. So to relax, she and her colleagues go to a pub and start drinking. I hope none of them (including her) got in a car and drove home.
Lol, I think it's a very different thing enjoying a couple of drinks, to drink driving. Most people drink alcohol, but most people don't drive after.
Omfg how did I get here
These police are carrying so much equipment, so bulky and restricting, they cannot wear a seatbelt properly. It can' t be right not good for their health.
3:40 checking her Instagram while on the way to an emergency 😂 Yeah women are a great addition to the force.
Wtf is "golden syrup"?! Honey? As someone who's father helped produce real maple syrup in upstate NY, for breakfast, anything but is a cardinal sin...
Golden syrup is great!! It's just, a type of syrup, nothing to do with honey or maple syrup. Completely different thing.
It's a viscous syrup you can take out of the process partway through the refining process of sugar.
Was that male police officer cleared to watch children on his own? There should be at least 2 people. 🤔
Your comment is just wrong on multiple levels.
Drink driving at home? I'm so confused the chick copper must have been on her rag.
Imagine having to say good morning boss to a woman..pfft
imagine having to say good morning to a mysoginist... pfft
Ever heard of Margaret Thatcher?
@@missasinenomine of course I have. Bloody awful woman
@@Jimbo-gi7xn Ha! ha! But she saved us from that Marxist Arthur Scarface.
@@missasinenomine you make a good point to be fair!..
Really sirens for a potential drunk driver. Not much too do need a bit of real crime and criminals.
Everyone is a potential drunk driver, I believe you mean suspected. This guy was drunk and he was driving. That doesn't leave room for "potential". That man should have been taken to a hospital and watched my mother die. Her brains were scattered all over the road, even against someone's car and the driver was only "allegedly" drunk for two years. Blew 2 1/2 times over the legal limit, blood test came back the same and he was only "allegedly" until it went to court. Everyone saw him get to the bar drunk, drink 4 beers in 90 minutes and drive away again. Police cars with sirens could have saved her life. God forbid someone you know gets smeared across the road and someone says it's not a real crime.
*potential drunk driver with two kids in the car.
@@Foojaleeckalikeelamaka You and I are potential drunk drivers (well, I"m not because I don't drive but if I could...) we have the potential. People reported him as drunk and he was. They probably saved at least one life. Drunk driving is a real crime.
Drink drivers can kill people and often do. Next time think twice before making a comment.
drunk driving is a horrific problem, speak with more education next time.
