There are some serious implications of engine idling when it comes to fuel efficiency. Excessive motor vehicle idling leads to increased fuel consumption which not only increases wear on engine components and shortens vehicle life, but also negatively impacts the environment. What these officers are talking about is called a Runlock system and yes the engine is still idling which means its harming the engine and also using fuel, why you wouldn`t just turn the engine off is beyond me.

That is not acceptable, polluting the very pedestrianised city centre where cars are not allowed to transit through, idling and recording people for, probably, facial recognition technology. Yet he feels is above the law... Makes me sick in the stomach!
Whether or not you agree or disagree, those rules can be voided for emergency services because they might need to get somewhere quickly. It's the same thing with parking, you and I couldn't park on a double red line, but emergency services can - EVEN if they aren't dealing with a situation.

great to see you tackling idling - Thank you AB - I have been tackling this here in Bournemouth for last three years -unattended idling is an offence - called Quitting - we have a problem every day with coaches - I video almost every day - used to approach them - but told by police I could not
a high ratio of them have npd like probation officers so they take on these job to serve their own agenda its all about power dominance and geting narc supply
There needs to be a directive from very senior police to inform forces all over the country that leaving the engine running is illegal, not acceptable and has to stop.
They don’t have to pay for the fuel so why would he be bothered……! And the price of fuel now is so expensive someone needs to be held accountable for the cost…….! Offices can lie
The alternator works by turning mechanical energy into electrical energy. When your engine is on, it powers a drive belt that rests on a pulley attached to the alternator. The pulley turns the alternator's rotor shaft, which spins a set of magnets around a coil generating alternating current.
The fact of the matter is that idiot was idling and left the van unattended.. anyone else will get a ticket.. AB asked a very good question, what happens to the van overnight!? Do they leave it running as well!?😳 Why are they all standing around.. why can’t they FAN out to cover more area in order to catch more criminals!?😳
I find police eating McDonald's whilst on duty slightly inappropriate if I'm honest. They need brain food and food that gives you good energy. Not heavily processed garbage which leaves your mind clouded and physical activity hard.
Especially when all these places give them numerous benefits and discounts. Quality of policing was always bad, but over the last 20 years it's reaching bottom.
They'd need enough brains in the first place to realise that junk food should be avoided when there are healthier alternatives available. Or they'd need the self discipline to avoid addictive foods, such as McD's.
@@merlin7654 I don't think expecting certain standards from our police is being a Karen, what you just said in response though most certainly is something a Karen would say.

8:20 he literally said "its just one more vehicle among 1000s" but that's how pollution happens!!! one vehicle at a time - he's totally lying, that's proof right there
I can safely say that I would have a lot of experience with vehicle power systems. Modern, properly equipped vehicles will be able to charge an aux battery even when just idling as shown here. Quality alternators can provide about 80+% of their stated output while idling. The aux battery will be charged typically using a split charge system, or using a DCDC charger from the likes of Redarc, C-Tek etc. A police vehicle should be equipped with a battery with sufficient capacity that it would not need to have the engine running to keep the "lights" from functioning. Even, if by some miracle, the aux battery was depleted, the electronics onboard would shut them down safely, and as soon as the vehicle engine was started, charging power would go directly to the aux battery to enable the use of the lights and so on. LiPo4 batteries charge extremely fast, the battery does not need to be fully charged to allow equipment to operate. We have an aux battery in our vehicle and that powers all the lights, a 2400w oven, an 1800w induction cooker, the diesel heater, charging points for mobiles, laptops, 2 fridges and even cameras. We have been several days without needing to recharge, and thats even excluding solar input. The Sergeant should spend less time stuffing his face, get himself fit, and perhaps once he is happier with his own body, he will develop a more positive mental attitude towards members of the public with legit concerns.
We all know he had kept it running to keep the van nice and warm for when they got back in after standing about chatting and drinking cups of coffee etc ... nice job if you can get it 🥴
Superb and knowledgable insight, the fat bastard just wanted a nice warm van to plonk his arse in after standing around for an hour doing fuck all - literally a Bobby's Job or what?
Freedom of Information request... For the details of all of the equipment that the sergeant referred to which needed an auxiliary battery to operate in an emergency (to verify his story) and also procurement documents to see why Police are acquiring such fragile and unreliable equipment for emergency use.
I be amazed if you get a reply from the Police DPO, then ICO will upheld in your favour and still you get no answer. Look up on ICO website under enforcenent for Bedford Cambridgeshire Hertfordshire (BCH) police, as BCH has no complicance under the FoIA, UKGDPR and DPA.
It's been done in London. Here's the reply The In Vehicle Mobile Application (IVMA) solution will commence roll out in March 2016 and finish at the end of August 2016. The (IVMA) project are currently building the new product which will replace the existing mobile data terminals (MDT) in 1330 vehicles on the MPS fleet. The IVMA solution will be permanently fixed in the vehicle and powered by the vehicle battery. The main difference between the old and new systems is the IVMA device has its own battery, substantially reducing vehicle battery usage. One of the benefits of the new solution is police vehicles will not need to be kept running to maintain power to the in vehicle device. Fuel emissions and costs will reduce. So for the Met you have them bang to rights.
@@pqrstzxerty1296 On the DPS department, for the met, I've taken to making complaints. I'm getting quite good at it. I'm going to be on my third apology for a no response to a 999 call. What they haven't realised is that I'm going to up the ante. Fraud is the next one. If a police force fails to record a crime, its fraud. Officers have gone down for it and they have been sacked. What's the betting that if they don't respond to a 999 call, that they failed to record the crime?
@@unhingedbracket121 I take them to Court for costs and damages, lately the police just get the insurance company to pay out. um why does a police force have company liability insurance instead of using the Sec.of.State Bond ? Police are changing their name lately from force to a Unit. Ie BCH unit. Also, the insurance company is a US based one, admin'ed in the US too.
Outrageously stubborn man. How can we trust such a temperament to police our country if they don’t give a £&@& about anything but themselves and their ego?
But if you say its charging the emergency battery so you can watch the football on Sky later it will be ok... 🙈 No you are booked with a £100 FPN fine.
The simple solution would be to follow the law and put an officer in the vehicle so it would not be left idling unattended. We have to follow the law, so should they. There must have been 5 or 6 officers stood about, put one in the vehicle.
I believe that the law might not apply to police vehicles, which is why police cars are able to stay running without the keys. It wouldn't make sense for the police to spend money installing a system which would be illegal if used.
Stationary idling is an offence under Section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. The act enforces Rule 123 of the Highway Code, which states: "You must not leave a vehicle’s engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road."
Can I get a fine for car idling? If you’re caught idling you could be hit with a £20 fixed-penalty fine under the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) Regulations 2002, rising to £40 if unpaid within the required timeframe. Fines can be as high as £80 in certain areas of London where there are additional measures to cut emissions.
My van allows me to press a button and remove the key, I can then lock it and use the engine to recharge my batterys and run my pto. Leaving a vehicle running is the most fuel efficient way of recharging a vehicle battery, driving it around uses more fuel.
2:50 You're right AB. An idling engine won't charge the battery. It can help to provide power to auxiliary devices, but even then it would be a bad design decision not to have a secondary battery to provide power to those devices if they draw so much power. That might have been the case a decade or two back that the devices would've drawn a lot of power, but with modern equipment very unlikely. The main battery would be more than capable of keeping the devices going for an hour or so, more than enough time for them to handle whatever they are doing.
Wrong. An alternator charges at idle or at any speed. A generator only charges the faster it gets. If the batteries are in line and one battery is duff, it will drain the good battery .
@@gjclark2478 While it is technically possible to charge your car battery by just idling, it’s not very efficient. You’d likely have to leave your car running for hours to even come close to a full charge. This is due to the amount of charge that is initially lost when cranking the engine. Some studies have shown that it can take between 15-30 minutes to recoup this initial charge
@@gjclark2478 An alternator is a generator. Leisure batteries are never in line with the main battery. The whole point being that the main battery is never drained by the devices thereby allowing the vehicle to always be started and then to charge up both batteries.
Its like soneone said in the comments , they most prob left it running to keep the van nice and warm for when they get back in after chatting and drinking cups of coffee outside.
I am reluctant to take my vehicle on the road because I can't afford the fuel and yet this sergeant is polluting the atmosphere with our money. I hope you are going to report this to the appropriate authorities.
That awful Sgt and officers like him are the exact reason why the police are so badly HATED,this is exactly why you should always record the police 🤳 EXPOSE THEM ALL 🤬
They have no regard for public money. I know this as my cousin is a sarge and he said fuel bills for police vehicles are incredibly high. Nobody cares as they don’t pay and nothing can be done. Engines are kept running in summer so the AC can run and in the winter so the heater is one and their vehicle is “cosy” when they return.
emergency vehicles are exempt from certain sections of the RTA, leaving engines running is exempt provided that the vehicle is an emergency vehicle and being used for that purpose. Take for example a fire appliance that has to have its engine running to be able to have its pump running when no-one is in or on the vehicle. The sergeant argues that his vehicle is running certain equipment for the purpose which it is being used for, i.e. radios, CCTV etc. He might be a bit grumpy but he's right. On this occasion at least.

So when it's been parked up at the station overnight, all the emergency equipment run down? Never knew!
How disconnected are the police from us the public,our country is doomed .
They always automatically lie without even thinking, regardless of the scenario
@@hectichazerdus couldn’t agree more.
Respect to the officer standing next to the sergeant. Made the best out of the awkward situation the so called senior 'sergeant' created.
They probably liked seeing the sergent under pressure
The Sergeant didn’t create the awkward situation, the dick with the camera did.
He was also a sergeant
I think they guy created the situation by following with copper around..
WOW!!! See someone grabbing an auditors (ex boxer) camera, shoving him and then getting sparked out on Based Boxing Basement channel video with Paul?!
“The van is not idling”
What f***king planet is that Sgt on? Does he honestly think we believe him when he says that.
"It's not dead, it's resting. The Norwegian Blue prefers kipping on its back!"
Yo !!! Hi everybody this is AB
Yo
YOOOOOOOOO!!!!
They admit to using hire cars in this vid, bet that costs a pretty penny on the tax.
Wish to meet you brother keep it up
Happy Sunday AB keep up the great banter.
Police seem to be happy to break rules for inexcusable excuses. That is not acceptable, polluting the very pedestrianised city centre where cars are not allowed to transit through, idling and recording people for, probably, facial recognition technology. Yet he feels is above the law... Makes me sick in the stomach!
Whether or not you agree or disagree, those rules can be voided for emergency services because they might need to get somewhere quickly. It's the same thing with parking, you and I couldn't park on a double red line, but emergency services can - EVEN if they aren't dealing with a situation.
@@PepsiCubes err plod never get anywhere quickly. Jeez!
@@PepsiCubes They had no valid reason, just an excuse. Keeping the car running while being away doesn't really help you to "get somewhere quickly".
Not being so fat would help him much more.
@@PepsiCubes Dosent take a second to switch the ignition on if an emergency comes up, and even quicker if the police were sat in the vehicle/van at the time instead of outside of it chatting and drinking coffee. 🥴
@@martynanstis1620 Unless there's a member of public about filming .
great to see you tackling idling - Thank you AB - I have been tackling this here in Bournemouth for last three years -unattended idling is an offence - called Quitting - we have a problem every day with coaches - I video almost every day - used to approach them - but told by police I could not
If the police find the law inpractical Perhaps they shouldn't be the police
a high ratio of them have npd like probation officers so they take on these job to serve their own agenda its all about power dominance

Police are exempt from the idling law
@@Gravitics Murder n rape law too when they flash that warrant card
@@robertorhymes no
@@Gravitics why no?
The magic food-bowl of his pegasus that he keeps in the back of the van won't fill up, unless the engine is running!
My favourite British UA-cam channel woop woop 🙌
It's the sound of the beast
There needs to be a directive from very senior police to inform forces all over the country that leaving the engine running is illegal, not acceptable and has to stop.
They don’t have to pay for the fuel so why would he be bothered……! And the price of fuel now is so expensive someone needs to be held accountable for the cost…….! Offices can lie
Yep so to cover the costs they just raise taxes yet again.
Police are exempt from the idling law
Good auditing AB, he's not going to switch it off because AB ask him lol
Yes, they don’t like being told also why are their so many Police on duty I, bet if you wanted one you would not find one.
He also doesn't have to turn it off, police are exempt from the idling law
He should have said Don't turn it off, Good lad, and they might have done it to annoy him
The alternator works by turning mechanical energy into electrical energy. When your engine is on, it powers a drive belt that rests on a pulley attached to the alternator. The pulley turns the alternator's rotor shaft, which spins a set of magnets around a coil generating alternating current.
And I thought it was done by magic...well you live and learn.
Also the alternator need to spin up to stick a decent charging voltage into the system. Ticking over won't charge it well at all.
How lucky those two young men were to meet AB!
The fact of the matter is that idiot was idling and left the van unattended.. anyone else will get a ticket..
AB asked a very good question, what happens to the van overnight!? Do they leave it running as well!?😳
Why are they all standing around.. why can’t they FAN out to cover more area in order to catch more criminals!?😳
use this video to cancel a ticket. say it was charging your mobile lights cameras..
I find police eating McDonald's whilst on duty slightly inappropriate if I'm honest.
They need brain food and food that gives you good energy. Not heavily processed garbage which leaves your mind clouded and physical activity hard.
Especially when all these places give them numerous benefits and discounts. Quality of policing was always bad, but over the last 20 years it's reaching bottom.
They'd need enough brains in the first place to realise that junk food should be avoided when there are healthier alternatives available. Or they'd need the self discipline to avoid addictive foods, such as McD's.
Bit of a Karen comment, people should be allowed to eat what they want for lunch.
exactly
@@merlin7654 I don't think expecting certain standards from our police is being a Karen, what you just said in response though most certainly is something a Karen would say.
I know a lot of the public would feel safer if police were more health conscious and kept themselves in good/better shape. Not too much to ask I don't think. Eat what you want when the uniform is off and you are at home but on duty have some sense and at least be seen to be making smart life choices.
Edit: You used to work for the Met Police so no wonder you are simping for them!! 🤣🤣
We have vans at work that when you press a button you can pull the key out and lock it, it’s just for keeping the van warm inside. 😅
Us scousers love you *AB* keep up the great work 💯👍🏼
🙏🏼
"It's wasting gas, You know Putin isn't going to sell us gas anymore" hahahaha!
Oh, the sergeant does not like anyone to tell him what to do!?!?
Well, we the public also.
Ab you remind me of a great Arabic quote "While the monkeys laugh in the trees, the lion moves on." 🦁😂
The sarge was so quick to come up with the excuse he must use it all the time 😂
The old one rule for us another rule for them. They do not like Transparency. Nice one AB.
8:20 he literally said "its just one more vehicle among 1000s" but that's how pollution happens!!! one vehicle at a time - he's totally lying, that's proof right there
The lady 😂she was smirking. She thought you were funny ab 😁
I can safely say that I would have a lot of experience with vehicle power systems. Modern, properly equipped vehicles will be able to charge an aux battery even when just idling as shown here. Quality alternators can provide about 80+% of their stated output while idling. The aux battery will be charged typically using a split charge system, or using a DCDC charger from the likes of Redarc, C-Tek etc. A police vehicle should be equipped with a battery with sufficient capacity that it would not need to have the engine running to keep the "lights" from functioning. Even, if by some miracle, the aux battery was depleted, the electronics onboard would shut them down safely, and as soon as the vehicle engine was started, charging power would go directly to the aux battery to enable the use of the lights and so on. LiPo4 batteries charge extremely fast, the battery does not need to be fully charged to allow equipment to operate. We have an aux battery in our vehicle and that powers all the lights, a 2400w oven, an 1800w induction cooker, the diesel heater, charging points for mobiles, laptops, 2 fridges and even cameras. We have been several days without needing to recharge, and thats even excluding solar input. The Sergeant should spend less time stuffing his face, get himself fit, and perhaps once he is happier with his own body, he will develop a more positive mental attitude towards members of the public with legit concerns.
We all know he had kept it running to keep the van nice and warm for when they got back in after standing about chatting and drinking cups of coffee etc ... nice job if you can get it 🥴
Superb and knowledgable insight, the fat bastard just wanted a nice warm van to plonk his arse in after standing around for an hour doing fuck all - literally a Bobby's Job or what?
And who can argue with that
Freedom of Information request... For the details of all of the equipment that the sergeant referred to which needed an auxiliary battery to operate in an emergency (to verify his story) and also procurement documents to see why Police are acquiring such fragile and unreliable equipment for emergency use.
I be amazed if you get a reply from the Police DPO, then ICO will upheld in your favour and still you get no answer.
Look up on ICO website under enforcenent for Bedford Cambridgeshire Hertfordshire (BCH) police, as BCH has no complicance under the FoIA, UKGDPR and DPA.
It's been done in London. Here's the reply
The In Vehicle Mobile Application (IVMA) solution will commence roll out in March 2016 and finish at the end of August 2016. The (IVMA) project are currently building the new product which will replace the existing mobile data terminals (MDT) in 1330 vehicles on the MPS fleet. The IVMA solution will be permanently fixed in the vehicle and powered by the vehicle battery. The main difference between the old and new systems is the IVMA device has its own battery, substantially reducing vehicle battery usage. One of the benefits of the new solution is police vehicles will not need to be kept running to maintain power to the in vehicle device. Fuel emissions and costs will reduce.
So for the Met you have them bang to rights.
@@pqrstzxerty1296 On the DPS department, for the met, I've taken to making complaints. I'm getting quite good at it. I'm going to be on my third apology for a no response to a 999 call.
What they haven't realised is that I'm going to up the ante. Fraud is the next one. If a police force fails to record a crime, its fraud. Officers have gone down for it and they have been sacked.
What's the betting that if they don't respond to a 999 call, that they failed to record the crime?
@@unhingedbracket121 I take them to Court for costs and damages, lately the police just get the insurance company to pay out. um why does a police force have company liability insurance instead of using the Sec.of.State Bond ?
Police are changing their name lately from force to a Unit. Ie BCH unit.
Also, the insurance company is a US based one, admin'ed in the US too.
@@pqrstzxerty1296 Police forces should have no insurance.
Police officer should have insurance, and they should pay for it.
No insurance, no job.
This is comedy (CARRY ON SARGENT )hes playing with his NUTS don't shake his hand 🤣
Outrageously stubborn man. How can we trust such a temperament to police our country if they don’t give a £&@& about anything but themselves and their ego?
Getting ready for facial recognition technology to make you safe.. In East London Already
What a load of bollocks, charging the auxillary battery that runs all the blue lights and cameras, how stupid do they think we are.
If that has a low auxiliary battery, then it should have been defected at base.
Liverpool's finest,in the peak of physical fitness too by the looks of it.
It's the copper behind at the window who's trying so hard not to laugh as he can see his sargent wriggling around conversation I like.
A friend of mine stole one of those batteries out of a Police vehicle last night. I expect charging will follow very soon.👀😂
not unless he was 'idling'. lol
Well they do say, god helps them that help themselves, but I say god help them that get caught. So????
That sergeant is lying about charging the equipment! Probably left it running so it’s nice and warm for them when they sit back in it!
Mini cop seems to be enjoying herself. Hope she grows into a full size one soon.
Diesel is the worst for the environment. It literally kills life!
If you sit in your Motorhome and idle and tell the police that you are charging your leisure battery , they will book you.
But if you say its charging the emergency battery so you can watch the football on Sky later it will be ok... 🙈
No you are booked with a £100 FPN fine.
Big respect to the two lads at the end. It’s always really cool to see when fans recognise AB.
To be fair there's loads of ice cream vans on Church Street doing the same thing 😄
AB. They'll never let you be a copper. You would have half the brass arrested in a couple of weeks. The van has a nice heater.
I'm so looking forward to the next one 😂😂....guy trying to talk to you next a great pair of horse bollocks😅....outstanding lol!
I would guess the van is designed to idle while unattended as it can do it without a key being in it. I have never seen a vehicle do this before.
Correct. It’s known as “run lock”.
Drinking coffee and the engine is running ❤ AB for prime minister ❤
Dumb plods ,should have them charged before leaving the station .
The simple solution would be to follow the law and put an officer in the vehicle so it would not be left idling unattended. We have to follow the law, so should they. There must have been 5 or 6 officers stood about, put one in the vehicle.
I believe that the law might not apply to police vehicles, which is why police cars are able to stay running without the keys. It wouldn't make sense for the police to spend money installing a system which would be illegal if used.
I think it's sweet that you think they have to follow the law!
He wasn’t going to take orders from anybody. Except an Inspector of course…….(brown nose, brown nose)
BS that would have been charged back at the station or if not there maintenance department needs looking in to
sarge had a lot of verbal manure for a bi-pedal porcine
Look at that tiny little Police lady laughing her socks off. She looks about 12 years old!
Stationary idling is an offence under Section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
The act enforces Rule 123 of the Highway Code, which states: "You must not leave a vehicle’s engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road."
Can I get a fine for car idling?
If you’re caught idling you could be hit with a £20 fixed-penalty fine under the Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) Regulations 2002, rising to £40 if unpaid within the required timeframe.
Fines can be as high as £80 in certain areas of London where there are additional measures to cut emissions.
Did that copper just admit that they use hire cars? Is that tax payers money in hire cars??
They met a living legend, so happy 🤗👏👏👏
Need to run for the blue lights 😂😂🤣
My van allows me to press a button and remove the key, I can then lock it and use the engine to recharge my batterys and run my pto.
Leaving a vehicle running is the most fuel efficient way of recharging a vehicle battery, driving it around uses more fuel.
I am always honestly-and-genuinely impressed and humbled by AB's bravery. I've watched him for years; I hope to keep doing so for a heap more years.
2:50 You're right AB. An idling engine won't charge the battery. It can help to provide power to auxiliary devices, but even then it would be a bad design decision not to have a secondary battery to provide power to those devices if they draw so much power. That might have been the case a decade or two back that the devices would've drawn a lot of power, but with modern equipment very unlikely. The main battery would be more than capable of keeping the devices going for an hour or so, more than enough time for them to handle whatever they are doing.
I think he means there's a secondary battery for the extra lights and klaxons etc. Still the the vehicle is idling and causing pollution
Wrong. An alternator charges at idle or at any speed. A generator only charges the faster it gets.
If the batteries are in line and one battery is duff, it will drain the good battery .
@@gjclark2478 While it is technically possible to charge your car battery by just idling, it’s not very efficient. You’d likely have to leave your car running for hours to even come close to a full charge. This is due to the amount of charge that is initially lost when cranking the engine. Some studies have shown that it can take between 15-30 minutes to recoup this initial charge
@@gjclark2478 An alternator is a generator. Leisure batteries are never in line with the main battery. The whole point being that the main battery is never drained by the devices thereby allowing the vehicle to always be started and then to charge up both batteries.
Try to tell American cops switch off the engine, and you will see the stars
bring back fitness tests for the police
They need reporting.. you should never leave an engine running unattended!!.
Its like soneone said in the comments , they most prob left it running to keep the van nice and warm for when they get back in after chatting and drinking cups of coffee outside.
Excellent work!! Love you getting noticed by fans at the end 🙂
🤛
Of course lights and cameras work 😂
I am reluctant to take my vehicle on the road because I can't afford the fuel and yet this sergeant is polluting the atmosphere with our money. I hope you are going to report this to the appropriate authorities.
That awful Sgt and officers like him are the exact reason why the police are so badly HATED,this is exactly why you should always record the police 🤳 EXPOSE THEM ALL 🤬
They have no regard for public money. I know this as my cousin is a sarge and he said fuel bills for police vehicles are incredibly high. Nobody cares as they don’t pay and nothing can be done. Engines are kept running in summer so the AC can run and in the winter so the heater is one and their vehicle is “cosy” when they return.
So many leaches sucking on the public tit. Which I'm forced to pay for, or they'll use violence to put me in a steel cage.
And they say they don't have enough resources .....
emergency vehicles are exempt from certain sections of the RTA, leaving engines running is exempt provided that the vehicle is an emergency vehicle and being used for that purpose. Take for example a fire appliance that has to have its engine running to be able to have its pump running when no-one is in or on the vehicle. The sergeant argues that his vehicle is running certain equipment for the purpose which it is being used for, i.e. radios, CCTV etc. He might be a bit grumpy but he's right. On this occasion at least.
Good explanation
He wasn't right.
AB amazing master piece as always.
McDonalds 🤤🤤. Surprised you could even walk into that place AB 🤣
