I bet there's tons of drug dealers etc. looking at their screens going; "OI FUCK ME IT'S LIAM, I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD."
You made day buddy xD
Quinten Oerlemans lol
Quinten Oerlemans haha LOL funny thing is you're probably right! some of em might even be watching from prison think that b'stard!!
LOL!!!
Quinten Oerlemans well now they sure as hell want him dead
he actually looks like one of these badass cops from all the tv shows.
Nailed it!
Yeah it's the English Max Payne
He looks like that bloke from Game of Thrones
He does a little bit!
yeah the imp
For God's sake Vice, why is this only nine minutes long?!
truly, i want to read his book, see his movie.
My first thought!!!!! I wanted more!
Because as far as I can tell, it is a trailer for exposing corruption, not the actual exposing corruption like the video title promises.
NEECAUSE THERE TOUCHY BY IT THEY ARE ARSE HOLES
We need that add revenue
“Yo wagwan my slime i am trying to aqquire some of that blaze innit”
Maybe he was the yo my slime guy from snapchaaat

Yes indeed my fellow driller.
Thanks Ethan and Bakistani and Archie for seriously brightening up my evening over here!
whoa, i'm surprised he's survived this long.
•Nostalgia• Thats not a bad thing.
Moses Jonson Aye man he's not that old. He's still got some fire in em
you have to wonder why he chose to retire. internal undercover investigation itself is corrupted. he likely lost faith in the institution, which says so much
Moses Jonson same
Dylan Milne vice is internationa!only because media tells u that u s a is king dingeling state of crime it aint to be more dangerous than other.uk is an will be dangerous as well but they are snarter to hide them mission impossibles ;)l
Bet he's got some great stories to tell

I think they got not go into much details. Also how difficult it must have been for the agent to talk about this. The conversation must have reminded him of some gruesome moments that even after all those years hunt him...
This a panorama documentry about a London detective Dave Mcelvey who tried to take down a certain London firm. Go watch it mate. I can recommend 2 books if it spikes an interest in serious London villainy that will take your breath away.
There’s no way anyone could live normally after experiencing something like this. You’d just think everyone is fake or potentially spying on you afterwards.

A very interesting short documentary, but why the click bait title? The guy mentions police corruption as one of the cases he was tasked to. He's not really exposing anything. He gives very little information for obvious reasons.
thanks for this comment i need a video about the abuse of the system (gvts) and i really dont have much time, i nearly lost nine minutes bc of the clickbait title
It’s vice the contents never been anywhere near as good as they let on
One huge police corruption is the Hampstead Christ Church Satanic Cult Cover-up, (where the biological father of the two children was also an abuser) which was described as "fantasy" by the police!

They go around and falsify evidence to suit their bosses' agenda to put innocent people behind bars - do you know how many victims of miscariage of justice are behind bars right now - the justice system, defense solicitors and barristers and the cops are all in it for quick buck at the expense of the freedoms of innocent individuals.
Did you watch a series 'Showtrial" on BBC just recently it had a character "lady tease" whom the cops wanted put behind bars so deliberately while hiding evidence because lady tease was the perfect fitting target for the police to put behind bars just because she was a "lady tease"... So on this one: "What goes around comes around."
Wannabe cops should think about the corruption which is going on in the UK police and about their own mental health because while corruption is ongoing within the police - the rich man's lackeys - there will be many more cops infected with mental illness and suffer the consequences. The police is Not a healthy work environment for anyone while it is corrupt to its core.

That struck me as well.
Wow, that was deep. I have so much respect for that guy he literally put his life on the line to protect us aginst big time gang's, corrupt coppers and paedophiles and suffer mentally for it what an amazing guy. He deserves a medal. An unsung hero.

It's one thing to witness the world's countless corruptions, it's another to have to live it and play a part in the corruption- even if it's for good cause. This dude must have some sleepless nights, but it's such a brave sacrifice to make.
world's corruption? sorry its pig fucking westerners who have these problems and cant stop fucking little kids and doing drugs
sex age in middle east is 18. in the west its 14 for people and 0 for pigs :)
The smell of 'global peace keeping', pork fucking and child rape.. oh hai America!
Wow, everyone on the internet seems so salty and hostile. America Is among the top 2 countries for pedophilia. While Eastern Europe and Asian countries are known and among the top countries for sex trafficking. Every country has good and bad, get the fuck over it. I can say plenty about Europe or any country and slander the name, anyone can. so how bout everyone gets along and stops starting shit.
westerners start the most shit out of anyone. just look at the hundreds of thousands of comments on any vice video even remotely about other countries. years of being on the internet and enduring nothing but seething hate by westerners has made me jaded
MORE OF THIS PLEASE. Outstanding, but frustratingly short. Immensely interesting person for a docu; worth more than 9 mins.
As a former cop I always had great respect for those who did full-on undercover work. Anyone in the police can put on civvies for a couple of hours or qualify to be plainclothes detective. To actually take on a new persona full-time in the company of dangerous criminals is a seriously difficult role with the chance of exposure always there. I never did it myself but can see the mental strength required. This guy says he did the same job for over two years. Imagine leaving your own life for two years to be in the company of serious criminals and maintaining your false name and avoiding bumping in to someone who knows your real identity and is unaware of the role you are immersed in.
Poor fella, look at him around 9 min those glazed eyes show traces of permanent damage
greg house? is that you?
I trained to work undercover but back out, and backed out of the police entirely. The training itself was such that it was basic police training for obvious reasons with this as extra, basically they what it seemed to me was trying to create a monster. It scared me away and looking at his face both midway and the 9min mark hes seen some terrible things. Done some maybe too

WOW it sounds like my story (Kinda) I am retiring in October as an Investigator for Child Protection Services, I became so mentally unhealthy from the things I saw and a corrupt management system. Good for him, may GOD bless him moving forward.
I feel sorry for you but remember one thing people needs good police like you guys. Please don’t give up on people.
I have so much respect for honest police officers like this man on the video, he has to suffer because of his honesty.😔
Hope you will be okay and hopefully you will decide to share some of the information you came across, if you can do so safely of course. The public have no idea when it comes to corruption and outright criminality within the police.
Dear God his bravery is amazing and the corruption of the police ,will it ever end???they are in theory, there to protect not look after their own.
Like our government corruption continues because money matters,people are irrelevant
He thinks back on when he was used as a pawn by his superiors in order to fulfill their agendas
That's true

@@isj032 worked well didn’t it... if you think the police are trying to stop the drug trade and not maintain it then I feel for you
This man's story should be made into a movie it's hella interesting.
There are a lot of movies based on undercover police work.

This channel six months ago was a trainwreck, only posting things about weed and 'how to make a banana bong'. The channel has now changed to the good, emotional documentaries that we all love. I applaud you.
Andrius uhh they always had good content
Andrius Wtf you on about have you not seen all they're old documentaries do research ya fucking weapon
Banana bongs? Weed flavors? I mean, I support recreational marijuana, but I don't want one of the world's biggest documentary networks to just be about it.
DiddyBunz he said six months ago which is true
I agree with you, as a stoner I really enjoyed the documentaries but when the weed vids took over it was too cringey to sit here smoking and watching vice anymore
Someone please go hug this man for being alive. He looks likes he needs it.
He wouldn’t like it.
I am in love with this cinematography. And amazing story too.
That was an insane story. It must be difficult living with does memories.
Being able to talk about it and making a movie. He's a strong man.

So what now? Is this the trailer?

You're a genuine hero, thank you.
I personally think this job would be more dangerous than going to Afghanistan, in the sense that you not being able to trust anyone and people you are face to face are the enemy.
LegionaryWithAGladius fuck no at least you know you're going to be face to face with the enemy.. Overseas an attack can come from anyone and anywhere..paranoia is insane because of green on blue
I think loss of identity could be a huge factor also, pretending to be these bad people that you aren't.
He is a police undercover not a federal agent like those mi5 mi6 have....also special forces like S.A.S S.B.S participate in those kind of missions only that theirs involve killing
Not to mention, in Afghanistan you aren't alone, you have your unit with you at the very least, if not more, as well as things like close air support. Undercover cops don't have the luxury of being able to call in an A-10 (The best, most survivable ground attack aircraft to ever take to the skies.) to strafe the enemy with a 20mm vulcan cannon, or with air-to-surface missiles and rockets, or to drop some bombs on the enemy. I'd definitely agree it's a lot more dangerous to be an undercover than it is to be in Afghanistan. There's also the fact that most criminals are more intelligent, and better shots than Haji is... unless were talking about African American gang bangers, who can't read, can't speak English, and who don't even know how to hold their firearms, and don't understand what the sights are, or how to use them... and who can't run away very well because they don't have the full range of motion in their legs since the waist of their pants is down at the knees, and they frequently trip over them. They're hardly more dangerous than Haji, but real organized crime, such as the Italian, or Jewish, or Russian mafia groups, and the Latin American Cartels, are far more dangerous to infiltrate than Haji is to fight on the battlefield.
The Original T-Paine love that A-10 , I’ve never served by from what I’ve seen of the A-10 and the smile it would put on any persons face when it comes it ( well I could see the terror it would being on the receiving end)!!!!
I would love to hear more!

Do Toronto Police next.
I doubt there would be as much corruption within the Toronto police. Toronto has 1/5th of the population of London, a dramatically lower crime rate and higher HDI rating, and has a government known to be much more transparent than that of the UL government.

I've been asked if I was undercover about 8 or 9 times in my life. I'm not a cop, but if I was they wouldn't know, its not exactly a good way of determining if someone is a police officer.
Akroma Jones I get asked if I’m a cop every other week. Ive walked into parties and freaked people out that much that they left. Lol. Cops the last thing I would be.
I have travelled on the Woolwich Foot Tunnel and been on that ferry. That ferry is not there anymore, they got replaced fairly recently with brand spanking new ones (though they don't often work and the staff are often on strike). I have met some of the police there and some of them were quite helpful.
So apparently the Woolwich Foot Tunnel and Free Ferry are great places to be a gangster. :D London SE18 6DX, come visit and live the dream!
That place is horrible, used to walk it alone at 3am in the morning. Can't see the stairs on either end when you're in the middle, and it's apparently haunted. Used to walk at a brisk pace to get it over with.
It's always crowded, though illegal actions could take place when concealed in a crowd.
@@codehorse8843 I've used that tunnel a fair few times over the past fifteen years and I've never once seen it "crowded"
Have lived there for a whle and the area is full of drug crime, and Woolwich Tunnels are often bottle neck places to catch them too,gateway to North Kent, police often do road checks etc. Druggies hang round the playgrounds and a few months I walked past a tent surrounded by police as someone had been stabbed. I spoke to a local and he said that few people call the police when something happens, for a variety of reasons, crime just gets worse here. It is a very anonymous place. It is also handy to the airports so a good escape route. Some police in the area have been known to do crash for crash time and were arrested. I used to enjoy my walks to the tunnel as it was so edgy. I had no problem with the police while I was there at all but you get bad apples everywhere, I think I know more bad apple vicars than the police.

Good luck to him. What a soul-destroying and thankless job to have given years to. I wish him happiness and freedom.
How can I find this man I have a situation of me being abused by police
This guy risked his mental health for his job, which is awfully dangerous. As he said... he spent time in ward. Deserves some sort of award, because he took ‘living & breathing work’ to a whole new level.
is there not a longer version?
I think this dude is a legitimate hero. The things these guys sacrifice to try and make this world a better place should demand gratitude and respect.
didnt know charlie brooker was an undercover cop...
More pls, he's got so much more to say. He and many others deserve great honor for their bravery
I worked with an undercover cop doing the same work as this guy. It's horrible work. You lose yourself, you get hooked on drugs, you commit crimes to show you're part of it. In the end, they spit you out. The system doesn't look after you. My friend was in a squad of 12. 6 died from suicide.
about time vice published something half decent
You can fully see the pain in his eyes hey
View Tube I read that in a Scottish accent
Amazing much respect
This is a huge story with a lot more to give. well done to him though for opening up about his story and life in the police
9 minutes is not enough. i want more

Incredible story! ❤
Road markings: "Keep left"
Undercover cop: "I listen to no man"
What happened with corruption case
He wont be allowed to talk in detail about it.....even though he is retired from the force.
The Prussian Probably not confidential, if it was prosecuted against it would've been very public news. I have a feeling that the corruption case was the reason he left the force, I reckon the case failed and he was exposed or something to that effect which forced him to leave and I also believe that the things he saw in that case, which (in my theory suggests was never prosecuted against) alongside his previous work took its toll on him and forced him into mental deterioration. Just a theory but I don't think it's classified
Richie Rich See how he retired from force after that case? Yep, high command pulling strings and probably made him resign with a bs excuse.
watch the wire, good serie
a Corrupt police corruption case.. don't you see what they did there..
Could you make fuller/longer versions of these videos?
Knowing how fuck up the world is and the depths of human degradation and horrible acts people do to another human will make you feel hopeless.

The tunnel is from Greenwich Cutty Shark to Island Gardens, it crosses under the Thames River.
Back in the 1970s, people I associated with suspected me of being a NARC. I wasn’t but people around me kept getting busted for drugs. It created some fear in me. The more I denied the more they suspected. I changed my surroundings.
