Motorway Cops: a Traffic Cops Special

Monday 14 January
9:00pm - 10:00pm
BBC1 East
Documentary series narrated by Jamie Theakston. Officers patrolling Britain's motorways are under pressure like never before. The M6 around Birmingham has flooded, putting the search for criminals on hold as the officers contend with a tailback of cars, vans and lorries stretching for over thirty-five miles; thousands of motorists will be forced to spend a cold and uncomfortable night in their cars.

being an ex-emergency worker and driven under 'blues & twos' on numerous occasions the video is set....oh how i miss those days  :(

I was a little disapointed the flooding was only the last 15 min, but i cant believe some of the idiots on the road and what a hard job they do.

Yeah - especially those two coppers who arrested the 18 year old in a really (excessively) aggressive manner and then had to cover their blushes by issuing a minor fixed penalty for a technical offence.  The 18 year old was a prat but he was in the right and deserved an apology.

Two things to remember with those two policemen.  They had been told that the car had been driven off without paying for petrol and that the vehicle could be stolen and driving on false plates. 

Yes maybe he might have received an apology had he told the officers at the first opportunity that he knew about the wrong number plate, it was only when they found out about it that he mentioned it.  However, he was still driving and commiting an offence.

In most of the cases last night the main theme was the total disregard for society and all those citizens that try to live by the standards that most people expect.

I had sympathy with the man without the ladders. 

Personally I would not like to have to deal with those problems and wish them well.
