    Id love to see something with the Met Police, especially some of the specialist equipment they have such as their boats on the river thames, or possibly the helicopters that support the police! Great videos as always! Keep up the amazing work !

    Here’s a good video for you. Having seen many chase videos, it’s clear the cars take a complete hammering when pursuing. Aside from any damage caused through impact, what does it do to the suspension when going flat out over speed bumps? A video from the workshop detailing this would be good. Also, are they routinely taken in for suspension and geo checks after a hard pursuit?

      They are depending on use, such as unmarked cars that were given a switch to cut all rear lights.
      Normal cars have nothing done to them as it voids the warranty and insurance terms.
      Many vehicles used by specialist teams are plain and often bought at auction with stickers on.
      I have seen everything from BT to facility management and some have the uniforms too. The best was an Iceland van converted for surveillance that stuck out a mile on an estate.

    This car wouldn't be the most amazing interceptor car for the motorway, 300 bhp is lacking a bit, I would want a bit more. There aren't many cars escaping this, but there are a few that will manage it.
    .
    However ... for an urban pursuit / response car? I can see this car being incredible in that role. Hope to see a lot more of these in and around the cities. There will be nothing escaping this inside any kind of built up area.
    SEAT are decently reliable too so maintenance shouldn't be an issue.

    What i dont get is our rules of engagement which ben mentioned in the most recent charger video they give the police new cars like this which somewhere like Liverpool it can keep up with the majoiry of pull cars but as a country we cant afford cars like this ben mentioned in the other video tactical contact can be made if you know its life or death but you do tac contact in the cupra its going to be written off and i know this sounds abit stupid but because of the cost of replacing a traffic unit if it crashes cant we do what top gear suggested many moons ago buy older cars which are powerful enough to keep up with a dealer in a 320 d then if you crash it just get another one the only thing i could see an issue with older cars are running costs and second hand part cost ? 😊

    I can't help but think every British Police Force has been forced to downgrade with the BMW decision. I am pretty sure VAG group can get the EA888 engines to produce 320PS easily and there are many tuners out there. I had a VRS response car that went back to Skoda for performance work as it was pretty underwhelming when all the kit was in the car. I hope the Police also have that option.

    The laws around drug driving or should I say the methods and science behind it are not fit for purpose the swabbing isn't a clear indication and neither is a blood test as both only give an indication of trace elements and not if you're under the influence of a drug, most people understand how alcohol works, when alcohol is detected in your system you will remain under the influence for up to 48h with level been detected but when a drug like cannabis is detected at any level this could be weeks even moths old and any one with any experience of cannabis will clearly tell you after max 24h its impossible for you to be effected. The point is to take somthing to court and prosecute it has to be beyond reasonable doubt and as it stands the science just isn't good enough for that.
    We need absolutes when it comes to laws not opinions and half arsed science
