SIRENS WAIL | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
13 million motoring offences every year. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
It's gone through a wall, taken out a power cable | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
and somersaulted onto its roof. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
More than 200,000 crashes and accidents. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Traffic cops patrol across 250,000 miles of road. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Tonight... | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Come here, you little... | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
-Hazards... -Which pocket are yours in? | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
..and high water. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
Back that way! | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
You're just making it difficult, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
going through the deepest bit right in the middle. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
TYRES SCREECH | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
-Catching out... -What's in there, mate? | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
..and keeping Britain's roads safe. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
You've not got a licence, you're not allowed to drive! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
And for the first time, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
the police are collecting official evidence on headcams. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
You press the record button and it's the evidence that will | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
ultimately get these people sent to prison. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
Get that camera out my face now! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
From a police officer's point of view, really, exactly what you | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
see on the head cameras is actually what we're seeing in real life. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-Chases caught on camera... -Get on the floor! | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
..and arrests from the point of view of the cops. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
We need to catch these people and stop them doing what they're doing. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
I don't know why I'm feeling so sarcastic today. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
I think it's because I've had a couple of ibuprofen, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
that's what it is. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
It's 7.30am. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
Traffic cops Lee Moody and Dan Kellett | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
are on flood alert ten miles north of Leeds. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
We're en route to Pool-in-Wharfedale. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
The call is overnight, due to heavy rain, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
there's a large amount of flooding. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
It's been one of the wettest years on record. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Today, nationwide heavy floods have caused deaths on the road | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
and trapped hundreds in their cars. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Most normal, sensible people have realised this is a deep flood, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
don't drive through it. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
You'd be amazed how many people drive through it | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
and then get into difficulties. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
When we have this level of rain, as extreme as this, it does cause | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
massive issues, and the country can just come to a standstill. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
You just know it's going to be a nightmare day. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
They're taking over from officers who've spent all night | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
tackling flooded roads. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
You know what we were saying about people driving through big floods? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
That looks quite deep in the middle. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
'It doesn't look that deep at that particular time - | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
'however, that's walking across the highest point of the camber.' | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
When you start getting to the verges, that is going to be quite deep water. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:21 | |
OVER RADIO: One-four - we may be delayed somewhat, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
we've come down Arlington Lane, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
we're heading towards the White Hart. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
We're just having to assess whether we can get through | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
the flooded section of road here, may need to be closed as well. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Depending on the volume, the water can actually break the road surface. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
It can burst pipes underneath, blow manhole covers off, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
blow drain covers off and it can cause major issues. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Watch out, you're going to get wet. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
No, that looks quite deep in the middle. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
'You just have to suck it and know that you're going to get wet' | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
and your boots may be destroyed by the end of the day. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
OVER RADIO: 'Tango-one-four, we're going to have to try and close it.' | 0:04:04 | 0:04:09 | |
Do you want me to go and stick some cones out the other side? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-Cos we don't want anyone coming through that, do we? -No. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
Across Britain, there are 52 flood warnings in place, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
with 22 in Yorkshire. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
With the Highways Agency busy with road closures across the region, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
the priority for Lee and Dan now | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
is to close this road as quickly as possible. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
'Increasingly nowadays, with the amount of traffic on the road,' | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
people are very much "me-focused". | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
"I need to get to where I need to get to as quickly as I can." | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
They're not concerned about why a road is closed, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
they don't think about the fact that we've closed it for their safety. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Hello, we're just about to close this, | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
cos we're just going to have everybody flying round the corner, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
and it's only going to get worse cos it's still raining. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
It's entirely up to you. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
Say that again? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
You're in the 4x4, sir. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
You know, on days like this, you're going to have | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
certain people in certain vehicles that think you can drive through it. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
Although the flooding may not look too deep, | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
many cars can start to float in just two feet of standing water. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
I think we're going to have to take the chance. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
I'm afraid the road's closed. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
There's a rather large flood. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
It's not long before the cops need to assist people heading | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
to work who are stuck behind the flood. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
You OK? Do you want me to watch your back? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
Oh, right, OK. Just don't go forwards! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
Do you want me to spin it round for you? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
The issue that we had with this lady was it was a vehicle | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
she didn't drive on a very regular basis. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
And it had an electronic parking brake. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Oh, dear! How embarrassing! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
It was a case of the simplest way being for me to spin it round | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
and then give her some advice on making sure | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
she knew how to drive the vehicle before she got into it. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Nice of my colleague to watch me back, isn't it? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
PASSENGER LAUGHS | 0:06:17 | 0:06:18 | |
-There you go. -Thank you very much. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
What a bizarre handbrake. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-Okey-doke, thank you very much, see you later. -Thank you. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
Okey-doke, no worries, see you later. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
They've coned off the road, but can they keep it closed? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
You - back that way! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Working across the whole Yorkshire and Humberside area | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
is the Regional Roads Crime Team. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
Officers Gary Panther and Paul Smith are on patrol. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
# There's a moose loose aboot this hoose. # | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
HE HUMS TUNE OF "HOOTS MON" | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Their unmarked car gives them more cover on country roads. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
A Golf has just sped past, unaware that they're cops. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
Check us a vehicle please? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
It was travelling at a little bit of speed, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
but the occupant really caught our attention as it went past as well. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-Previous on it? -No insurance. -Has it? -Yeah. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
Just spotted a Golf travelling at speed to the Leeds area, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
so he just came quickly through the village we just passed, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
so we're going to catch him up | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
and just do some checks on the keeper and the driver of it. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
INDISTINCT RADIO COMMUNICATION | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Where have they gone? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
You tend to find the cars have gone | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
a little bit further than you expect. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
So if you don't see it initially, | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
it's worth just pushing on and trying to locate them, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
second-guessing the route it could have possibly travelled. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Just double check. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
If he has, he's been tonking it. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-All right, innit? -Did he? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Think so, yeah. Saw brake lights. He's just there. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
Oh, he's there, look! He's there, look! | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
The check produces further information on the driver. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-Received, mate. We'll see who it is. -Oh, yeah! | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
So immediately, it just gives you a little more suspicion that | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
there's something wrong with the vehicle or driver. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
It's a bit of cat and mouse, really. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
You do want to catch them and they don't want to be caught. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Don't park there. HE TUTS | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
It'll be all right now... | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
Full motion. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:10 | |
The cops' headcams capture events from a police point of view, | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
and are part of a new evidence gathering kit. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-Hiya, mate, you all right? -Yeah. -Is it your motor? -Yeah. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-Just turn the engine off for a sec, mate. -Sorry, I didn't know if... | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
No, you're fine. You got your licence on you? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
Sound. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:28 | |
It's one of those moments, you get out and you don't know what's | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
going to happen, so you're always on edge. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
I want to ask you - and I bet you know what I want to ask you - | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
there's a strong smell of cannabis coming from the car, | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
which means you're going to be searched under | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
the Misuse of Drugs Act along with the car. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-There. -Right. You're going to be searched. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-Is there owt else other than that? -No. -Right. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
My first thoughts are, | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
"He's handed that bit of cannabis over to me far too easily." | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
As if to say, "This is all I've got in here, officer, thanks very much." | 0:09:54 | 0:10:00 | |
Are you working at the minute? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:01 | |
All right. How's that going then? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
DRIVER SIGHS | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
Ain't it? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
Do you want to jump out, pal, and go with my mate? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
He's going to conduct a search, cos it stinks of cannabis. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
Have you got anything in your pockets at all? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
-No. -No, so I'll just give you a pat down, mate. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Possessing a small amount of cannabis | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
comes with a police warning or an £80 on-the-spot fine. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
-In that tin. -Little bit more? -I'll find it, don't worry. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
He can see exactly what I'm doing here and what I'm looking for. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
-Did you get a warning for cannabis before? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
We tend to find that | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
if people have got quite a substantial amount | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
of cannabis on them, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
they may well hand over a small amount like he is there, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
in the hope that we don't look any further | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
and just take it as, "That's what he's got." | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
How much you get a car, then? That pay all right? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
It depends, I'm trying to get on to more expensive valets, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
higher class, instead of trying to do these £10, £15 jobs. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:11 | |
-Detailing, that's where the money is, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
My mate had his Beemer done recently, £300 or something. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
Hard work, like, isn't it? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
Alloys and stuff like that, you've got to make alloys gleam out | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
to make anybody be happy about anything. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:28 | |
-It's a nightmare, really. -Yeah. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
'If we can keep them talking and occupied,' | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
it makes our job easier, really. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
It's one of those, it's kind of a double bluff. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Paul's talking to him about all sorts of things | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
and he's probably thinking Paul's mind's not where it should be, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
but I know and Paul knows that we're concentrating on exactly | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
what we should be doing, | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
and that's searching this vehicle for further drugs. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
'I've had a look inside the car and found the metal tin, which was | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
'just alongside the steering column, in a small compartment underneath. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
'It contains one bag of cannabis. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
'We do often get it where it's like a decoy, | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
'as if to say "That's all that's in the vehicle." | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
'We've got the camera on the side of his head, it's providing, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
'basically, point of view of exactly what we see.' | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
If we do go into searching and end up seizing anything, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
it shows exactly where we've found it, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
the condition when we've found it, and the position, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
so really, it's quite a good evidential tool for us to have. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
Yeah, yeah. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:31 | |
'We've gone to the boot, and as I open the boot | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
'there's quite a lot of car cleaning equipment and stuff,' | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
which obviously ties in with the job that he does. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
You got, like, contracts for businesses? | 0:12:43 | 0:12:44 | |
POLICE RADIO CHATTER | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
What's in there, mate? | 0:12:57 | 0:12:58 | |
-What sort of birthday present is it? -Uh? | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
What sort of birthday present is it? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Took a little bit of time coming to that conclusion. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
Are you sure? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
I could tell by Gaz's face, it were definitely not a jumper. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Thought it were just a complete cock-and-bull story, to be honest. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
Don't feel like a jumper. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
And to be honest, as I turned round and saw his face like that, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
I knew straightaway it was something in there that shouldn't be. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
I'm going to open it, pal, all right? Cos I don't... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
That feel like a jumper to you? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
No. We know what it is, mate, don't we? Smell it. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
All right. Put these cuffs on you a sec. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
Right, mate, at this moment in time, you're under arrest | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
on suspicion of possessing a Class B with intent to supply. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
if you do not mention something you may rely on in court. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
Inside the parcel, as you can see, it wasn't a jumper, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
it was quite a lot of cannabis. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
I've seen it before, | 0:14:18 | 0:14:19 | |
where drugs have been wrapped in wrapping paper like this. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
But for some reason, as I pulled it out, | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
I just instantly knew it wasn't a present. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
If it had been a present for his mum or his relative, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
then I would have been a bit sorry for him, | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
but at the end of the day, | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
we need to have a look and make sure, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:38 | |
and he's trying to transport drugs in his vehicle, | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
purporting to be a parcel, so...no sympathy, unfortunately. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
It looks like there's about half a kilo of it. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
Possibly, at a guess, about £1,000 worth. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
Once it was broken into individual deals, | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
there were obviously a fair few in there. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
£10 bags, probably at least 100 bags in there, | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
so at least £1,000 worth, I guess. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
People are finding it very hard at this moment in time, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
with the current economic climate, | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
and they need to fund their lifestyle and fund it in other ways. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
People turn to crime, unfortunately. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
To evade the law, drugs are ferried through the quiet countryside. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
People would be quite shocked that somebody's been stopped | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
in their local village and that amount of drugs has been seized. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
But it is going on. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:32 | |
People do pass through these remote villages | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
in hope that the police aren't there. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
Right. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
Well, we're not going to be like that, are we? | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
Well, who were it, mate? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
It'll be a case of taking the lad back to the custody suite now, | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
booking him in, getting all this exhibit seized. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
With the cannabis haul captured on headcam, | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
Gary and Paul have strong evidence the driver was in possession. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:16 | |
If proven for dealing, he could face a severe prison sentence. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
On rural back roads north of Leeds, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
Lee and Dan try to cope with one of the wettest days of the year. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
You - back that way! | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
At this point, I think we'd only been on duty for about 45 minutes. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
I was already starting to get frustrated. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
Right, I appreciate that, but the road's closed, | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
with all the cones, because you can't come past. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
SHE TALKS INDISTINCTLY | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
Please make sure the cones that have been moved are back across the road. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
'It may seem a little harsh under these circumstances, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
'we do get quite forceful with people.' | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
However, you've got to. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
And I've now realised my boots aren't as waterproof as I thought they were. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
Days like today are really busy. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
We're going from one job to the next to the next to the next. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
You don't get time to stop and think. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Extremes of weather make our job 100 times worse. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
Rising water levels can cause a serious accident. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
Water, water everywhere. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
And not a drop to drink. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Aw, should have brought the kayaks! Perfect day. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
Under circumstances like this, | 0:17:43 | 0:17:44 | |
where there has been heavy rainfall or quite inclement weather, | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
you know that it's going to be a very long day. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
They have to keep the roads closed, motorists out of the water | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
and emergency call-outs down. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
This is the road we were initially coming to. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
We got stuck further down the road at the other flood. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
We've managed to negotiate that now and get down to this, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
and as you can see, it's a hell of a lot deeper than the one further down. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
It was next to quite a flowing river, and obviously you had | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
all of the rainwater coming down from the fields as well. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
It was completely flooded from one side to the other. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
And now there's something else. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Basically, it's been reported from Ed, | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
who's on the other side of the road closure, | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
that it looks like, potentially, a cycling club are coming down. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
He's advised them that they won't be able to get through | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
and should turn round. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
However, they all put their hands up, said, "OK" and carried on coming. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
With rural roads like this, you do get a lot of pedal cyclists, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
the hardened cyclists who will go out in all weather. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
Now, the problem for them is, any detour - | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
especially round this area - could be massive for them. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Oh, he's coming under the barrier, | 0:18:56 | 0:18:57 | |
so we'll wait and see how far he gets. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
One-four, they're going to be brave. Just about to enter the water. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-Oh. -Going...going... -Now we're walking. -..gone. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
Morning. Well, fair play to you, cos your bike's not going to break down. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:18 | |
The only thing we would say is, with flood water, you don't know | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
what's going on underneath, regarding manholes or if any pipes have burst. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
I wouldn't do it, but fair play to you. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
But I wouldn't get on a bike in this weather anyway. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
No, well, we don't let a little bit of rain stop us. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Fabulous. Take care. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
Now you're just making it difficult, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
going through the deepest bit right in the middle. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
One-four, just for information, we're closing Pool Road, | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
with Caley Hall - Charlie-Alpha-Lima-Echo-Yankee. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
It's not long before one frustrated motorist decides to go for it. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
No, no, no. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:08 | |
That's why the "road closed" sign is up. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
He gets a bit wound up by them sometimes, but...that's just Lee! | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
I do sometimes get a little bit frustrated with people, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
when they can clearly see the road's closed, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
they know why it's closed | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
and we're only doing it for their safety. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
But they don't appreciate that. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
Have you driven past the "road closed" sign? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Well, that's why you're having to reverse back, isn't it? Yeah. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
It clearly tells you, sir, we can't do much more. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-Sorry. -All right? | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
I tend to be quite chilled, I don't let it wind me up. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
It doesn't really achieve anything | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
by getting annoyed with them. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
You laughing at me with my hat on? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
My kit had increased on that day. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
Because it was raining, I decided to put a hat on to try | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
and keep some of the rain off, which didn't go down very well with Dan. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
This is what I've got to put up with every day. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
-You're so aggressive today, Lee. -Why am I aggressive? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
On this one day across Britain, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
emergency breakdown services deal with more than 5,000 incidents. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
400 are cars stuck in flood water. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
It looks like the problem here has been people purposefully | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
blocking the drains. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
We found a bottle shoved up one. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Another one were blocked up with a rag. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
There's a big hole here. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
-I'm going to get absolutely drenched now, aren't I? -Yeah, possibly. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
It's no secret that this country is getting wetter by the year. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
We're getting a lot more rainfall. It can't cope with it at the moment. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
It's certainly not something we're going to get rid of, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
and I think days like that are going to become more | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
and more commonplace as the years go on. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
The road policing units deal with Britain's busy roads. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Lee and Dan have just heard that something's happened | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
on one of the major roads into Leeds. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
We've had a call from an elderly female. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Basically, she's been in the car with her husband | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
and it looks like her husband may have had a stroke at the wheel. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
He's left the road and crashed into a lamp post. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
It was looking quite serious, I think information had been | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
passed that the gentleman was unconscious in the vehicle. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
We may look at having to close the road for quite some time | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
while we conduct the investigations we need to conduct, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
obviously given the medical complications | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
and the age of the parties involved. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
Figures show that every five minutes, | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
someone suffers a stroke in the UK. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Nine out of ten are over 55 years of age. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
When it occurs behind the wheel of a car, | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
the consequences can be fatal. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
He's unconscious still. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:07 | |
SIREN WAILS | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Just confirming he's unconscious, that's received, thank you. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Obviously we're not at the scene, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:16 | |
we can only go on the information that's being passed, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
but all the time, that's heightening our stress levels, if you like, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
cos we're having to think about what we're going to do when we get there. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
An ambulance has arrived. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:29 | |
-All right, the gentleman's in the ambulance. -Right, OK. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:37 | |
-Is this chap still unconscious? -No, no, no. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
The gentleman wasn't still unconscious. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
However, there was concern that he may still have passed out, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
leading to the collision. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
-He's not still unconscious. -He's not? | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
No, they think he might have lost consciousness | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
just as the collision happened. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
-At the moment, we think he's all right in the back? -Yeah. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
A TIA, or "transient ischemic attack", | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
also known as a mini-stroke, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
may have caused the driver to black out. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
-How we doing? -Erm, he's complained of tummy pains since lunchtime today. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
-Yep. -And then he says it just got really unbearable. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
The last thing he remembers is | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
-turning round at the island at the bottom. -Right. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
But I was just going to have a word with his partner to see what | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
she knows about what happened. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
Am I able to jump on and have a quick chat with him, is that all right? | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
-Definitely. -She's in the second car back. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
It's still not clear if the driver has suffered a stroke. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
Have you eaten anything different to normal? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
Anything fatter, any pastry or a lot more spicy things, or...? | 0:24:38 | 0:24:44 | |
And I take it you've had them before, so that's nothing new? | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
With Lee on the ambulance, Dan speaks with the passenger. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-Is he your husband, then? -Partner. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
We just need his details - what's his full name? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
Edwin William Tune. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:01 | |
You've got to be careful how you deal with the other people | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
involved, especially family members, in a situation like this. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
His partner was saying that, basically, he's gone a bit funny, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
kept saying he felt ill. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
She said, "Pull over." "Nah, I'll be all right." | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
He's gone, "I feel really ill now." | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
And then he's gone completely vacant. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
He's on the back of the ambulance and he keeps going in and out. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
He's still conscious, but they're just having to... | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
They don't seem to have any concerns, do they? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
I think they're having a few more now, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
because his blood pressure keeps dropping. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
The gentleman's partner was still in our vehicle, | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
she's obviously concerned, still shaken up by the collision, | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
but obviously, the longer we're there | 0:25:40 | 0:25:41 | |
and the longer her partner was in the back of the ambulance, | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
she's getting more concerned as to what was going on. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
Ted's just having some checks at the moment. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
His blood pressure's a little bit up and down, | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
they're just doing another couple of checks, which is why I've come off. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
They're concerned about the driver's condition, so make a decision. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Hello? | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
I'm going to go shut the road, | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
if you can tell the Panda to reverse down and shut this junction here | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
so they can't get out. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:09 | |
'So the decision was made, | 0:26:09 | 0:26:10 | |
'until we were happy that he'd got down to the hospital | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
'and been thoroughly checked out, that we were going to close the road' | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
and deal with it as a serious incident. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
Under the circumstances, it has to be investigated. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:25 | |
If he'd subsequently died, we'd have been called on | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
to answer to the coroner as to the cause of the collision. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
I don't know how you want to do it or say it, we're going to close | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
the road and treat it as a potential at the moment. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
Just because of his age. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:40 | |
When we're saying we're treating it as a potential... | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
We try not to use that term in front of people at the time, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
injured parties, et cetera. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Basically what that means is we're treating it as a potential fatal. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
It's a precaution, but Lee is aware that the action may cause | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
even more concern for the driver's partner. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
I don't know if you want to tell her | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
that we're just stopping traffic from coming up, | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
-or however you want to put it. -Yeah, I'll word it nicely. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
Two-two, just for information, | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
we're going to be closing the ring road at the Berwick road roundabout. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
We've just spoken to supervision, so just for anybody that might be | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
responding, they won't be able to come up this way. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
If we put some tape across here, would you just be able to | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
hang in this junction for us, to stop anybody from coming? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
Why he's crashed, no-one's certain. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
Tests on the road and hospital checks might provide some answers. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
Out of the city, traffic cops Mark Claxton and Andy Barron | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
receive reports of an accident near Hebden Bridge. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
-What channel is that on? -Call 02, if you want to tell them we're going. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
Yeah, working nights, it's a particularly | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
dark, cold and miserable night. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
In fact, I think it was literally freezing. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:18 | |
During winter months, | 0:28:18 | 0:28:19 | |
there's a threefold increase in accidents on Britain's roads. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
The lines are down, the vehicle's on its roof. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
We're listening to it, | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
getting more and more information coming through on the radio | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
that there's power lines involved as well. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
On arrival, it was a mess. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
There were a lot of things to do and consider. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
A lot of hazards. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
Hiya, all right? | 0:28:47 | 0:28:48 | |
Is it a power line or is it a phone wire? | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
-No, it's power. -It's a power line. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
'It's pitch black, emergency services are there, | 0:28:52 | 0:28:55 | |
'ambulance and fire brigade.' | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
Looks like the car's failed to negotiate this left-hand bend. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
It's gone through a wall, taken out a power cable | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
and somersaulted on to its roof. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
The priority is to get the scene safe - | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
to get the battery disconnected, the power lines cut. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:13 | |
And then assess what we've got | 0:29:13 | 0:29:14 | |
and make sure there's nobody else injured. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
Residents come out to have a look. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:21 | |
There's no sign of the driver or any passengers. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
We heard what sounded like an aircraft coming past the house, | 0:29:24 | 0:29:28 | |
and then a loud bang and all the electric went. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
When I came out, there was two people running - | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
well, walking up the road. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
I shouted to see if anybody was hurt, | 0:29:35 | 0:29:36 | |
and they just ignored me and walked off. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:39 | |
'First of all, why have they run off? | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
'Is it a case of the car's stolen?' | 0:29:42 | 0:29:44 | |
He's got it wrong and crashed it, they're going to run away | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
and decide what they'll do about it later? | 0:29:48 | 0:29:51 | |
Or is that they've been drinking? | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
We still have a duty of care to search the surrounding area | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
and make sure they haven't collapsed somewhere in a nearby field. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
Cos if they had collapsed and we hadn't looked for them, | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
there is a good possibility | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
they would be dead in the morning with hypothermia. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
Areas such as this, where... | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
Generally, in built-up cities, you can immediately differentiate | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
what's a power line and what is a telephone line, | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
but if you look over there, the line that's been demolished looks like it | 0:30:17 | 0:30:22 | |
would be a British Telecom line, | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
but it isn't, it's an electricity pylon. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
And that's how a lot of houses out here have their supply connected. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:31 | |
As you can see, it's now darkness up and down the street. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
It's caused a lot of damage and put a lot of people out, | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
at this time of night and in this cold weather, | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
without any power to their homes. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
'As far as I'm concerned, you don't roll a car to that extent, | 0:30:44 | 0:30:49 | |
'causing that much damage, | 0:30:49 | 0:30:51 | |
'completely snapping in half one of those wooden posts' | 0:30:51 | 0:30:57 | |
that supply electricity... | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
You don't do that at 20, 25 or 30mph. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:03 | |
I thought it was actually a lot more serious, | 0:31:04 | 0:31:06 | |
like there was someone seriously hurt. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
I just can't believe they walked away from it | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
and didn't say anything! | 0:31:12 | 0:31:13 | |
-It's just unbelievable. -It would happen when it's minus two... | 0:31:13 | 0:31:17 | |
I've left the window open as well. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
And you've left the window open at the house. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
They've found the driver. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:25 | |
Invariably, people who are in shock or have done something, | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
they always want the comfort of home. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
So they will run, like a rabbit does, to its warren. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
If you somersaulted like that, I mean... | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
HE EXHALES | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
Yeah, I'd probably get him checked and see. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
The fact he's now at home | 0:31:50 | 0:31:51 | |
is suggesting the vehicle isn't stolen, | 0:31:51 | 0:31:53 | |
but there's still got to be a reason as to why he's left the scene | 0:31:53 | 0:31:57 | |
or gone to where he has. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
With the ambulance crew checking on the car driver, | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
Mark and Andy focus on the rest of the damage. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
The silver car, the jeep this Audi's hit, do we know whose it is? | 0:32:06 | 0:32:11 | |
Have they come forward at all? | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
DISPATCHER: Valerie Harris, she lives at number five. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
It was a mighty crash and all the lights went out, | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
because that's an electric cable they've pulled down, | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
having landed on my car first. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
To me, it looks like it's written off. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
One of the neighbours has put the kettle on, so we'll have a brew. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
They were good, good community spirit there. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
They worked together, clubbed together well, | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
and the morale seemed quite high with the residents, | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
they all seemed to know each other. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
The difficulty is recovering it. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
It's a massive inconvenience to the owner of this car, | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
which I'm trying to make slightly better for her. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
Cos at the moment, all she's seeing is a lot of fluorescent jackets | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
stood around not doing anything. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
At least minus one degrees at the moment, it's bitter. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:57 | |
And when they're losing electric like that, | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
they're also losing the combination boilers | 0:33:00 | 0:33:02 | |
that a lot of these houses will be. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:04 | |
So in effect, they've got no heating, no light, no TV. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
The cost involved with that will be absolutely thousands of pounds. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:19 | |
From the police call-out to the ambulance crews | 0:33:19 | 0:33:24 | |
to the fire brigade - | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
the cost and the people involved in having to sort that lot out | 0:33:26 | 0:33:31 | |
is absolutely massive. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
The driver isn't seriously injured. He's been lucky. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
A few feet either end at the back of me, | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
he could have gone straight down into a ravine. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
It's just open fields, extremely big, steep banks, | 0:33:46 | 0:33:49 | |
terrible weather conditions. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
If he'd have gone down there, he would have somersaulted and rolled. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
Still a fairly spectacular collision, | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
but, yeah, to have got out from a sports car like that | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
after rolling it how he has, and manage to walk away | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
and get himself home, quite miraculous really. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
Back in the city, Dan and Lee wait for news on the driver | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
who had a suspected stroke at the wheel. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
-He crashed into a lamp post. -How is he at the moment? | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
He's all right, we're just going to phone | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
-and decide which hospital to take him to. -Right. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
We've closed the road cos we're treating it as a potential | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
at the moment, just given the fact we're not 100% sure how he is. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:37 | |
Had he been a younger guy, | 0:34:37 | 0:34:39 | |
we may have looked at it slightly differently, | 0:34:39 | 0:34:42 | |
but because of his age, his previous medical history - | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
we'd been informed he'd had strokes in the past - | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
then obviously the issues he had through the day... | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
When did he last have a stroke? | 0:34:51 | 0:34:52 | |
Right. Oops, watch that door. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
It's still not clear | 0:34:59 | 0:35:00 | |
if the cause of the crash is a stroke or food poisoning. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
The Collision Investigation Team is at the scene. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
They keep the road closed so tests can be completed. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
But it's a Saturday evening on one of Leeds' busiest roads. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
Last thing we want to do is leave people stuck | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
on a Saturday evening in loads of traffic, | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
so they're going to have to be waiting a little bit longer, | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
but if we can try and get it through, | 0:35:27 | 0:35:29 | |
everyone will be a little bit happier, hopefully. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
Were there other factors that caused the crash? | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
They examine the vehicle, but they also examine the road surface, | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
and they use all their electronic gadgets to map out the road surface. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
What they'll be doing is taking measurements of how wide | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
the road is, how long it is, marking all of the white lines, | 0:35:46 | 0:35:50 | |
any debris that might be on the road, any potholes. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:54 | |
Rob's now placing a device on the vehicle called SkidMan, and what | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
we're going to do now is a series of skid tests with the vehicle. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
They'll drive down the road at speed and then slam on the brakes | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
as hard as they can, which will cause the vehicle to skid to a stop. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
Ooh. Front bumper gone. Can he come off forwards? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:16 | |
Cos he's taken that bumper off. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
I don't think the wheels are pointed in the same direction. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
It's always better to do it | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
in the vehicle that's been involved in the collision, | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
because obviously, that gives you an exact and true reading of that vehicle. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
But unfortunately, it's too extensively damaged | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
and it's too unsafe to do so. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
What we'll do is the same procedure, but use the police van, | 0:36:39 | 0:36:44 | |
which still gives you an indication of the quality of the road surface | 0:36:44 | 0:36:49 | |
and the level of grip here today, which we can still use. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:54 | |
TYRES SCREECH | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
You've made me laugh. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
That is my entire aim in life, Dan, to keep you happy. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
TYRES SCREECH | 0:37:11 | 0:37:13 | |
To members of the public, | 0:37:13 | 0:37:14 | |
it can sometimes look like they're having a bit of a laugh, | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
flying up the road and seeing how much they can brake, | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
but it's all about checking the surface of the roads. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
HE GROANS WEARILY | 0:37:23 | 0:37:24 | |
The driver is recovering. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
Now, Lee and Dan want to know why he blacked out at the wheel. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
Can you remember more of what happened? | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
Coming up towards Seacroft, and at that point in time, | 0:37:42 | 0:37:47 | |
I don't remember much for... | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
I don't know how long it was, | 0:37:49 | 0:37:50 | |
I must have blacked out at that point | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
and veered off the road where you found me. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
You're looking a lot better, | 0:37:56 | 0:37:57 | |
you're a bit more coherent than you were on the ambulance as well. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:01 | |
Depending what they say tomorrow, | 0:38:01 | 0:38:02 | |
or when they've checked you tonight, | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
will depend on whether we make a referral to the DVLA for you | 0:38:05 | 0:38:09 | |
to have a medical examination for continued use of your licence. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
What we need to be happy with is that the issue that's caused | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
the collision on this occasion has been an isolated incident, | 0:38:16 | 0:38:20 | |
ie a bout of food poisoning, | 0:38:20 | 0:38:21 | |
and it's not an underlying medical condition he has, | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
potentially due to his age. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
The last thing we want to do is say that you can't drive. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:32 | |
So what we'll do is wait to find out what the doctors say. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
Even then, it's not our decision, | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
we'll just make a referral to the DVLA and they might turn round | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
and say they want one of their doctors to check you out. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
Quite all right. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:45 | |
No, it's not caused us any trouble. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:46 | |
It's what we get paid for, sir, it's no problem. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
We're glad it's ended up like this rather than any other way, | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
so it's not a problem. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:52 | |
We'll speak to you tomorrow. See you later, take care. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:55 | |
We've spoken to him, he's got all his family round him now. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
He's very jovial. He seems very happy. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
He's hooked up to a drip, he hasn't been seen yet, | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
he's been booked in and is waiting to be seen, but he seems a lot happier. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
So whether it's just been a case of food poisoning or something, | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
we're not sure at the moment, but at the end of the day, | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
it's all about his safety and everybody else's safety on the road, | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
but fingers crossed it's nothing too serious | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
and he'll be back out and about shortly. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
After further tests, the mystery is finally solved. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:29 | |
It transpired that the gentleman may have eaten something which had | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
disagreed with him, which had caused some medical issues, | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
and that was what had caused him to black out. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
He was put on a course of medication, | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
and in the following couple of days was back to normal. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:46 | |
Hull, Easy Yorkshire. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
One of Britain's busiest ports, | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
and a city with a high rate of drugs and car crime. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
Paul and Gary are patrolling in an unmarked car. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:16 | |
Look at these boys here. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
Learner! | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
THEY HUM STEPTOE AND SON THEME | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
'Me and Gaz both like a singsong in the car.' | 0:40:33 | 0:40:35 | |
Just a way of passing time sometimes. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
Reports come through of an attempted theft close by. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:44 | |
A suspected bicycle thief has been disturbed at a nearby garage. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:48 | |
Anlaby Road. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:49 | |
When that call came in and we were nearby, | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
you get a bit of adrenaline and want to take part in it. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
-Got lights on, Paul? -Yeah. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:09 | |
-Which way is it? -Left, left, left. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
The reporting police officers are already following on foot. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:16 | |
There's a officer who's just shouted up to say they're chasing | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
a gentleman on foot who's just tried to steal a pedal cycle. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:25 | |
We're literally just around the corner, so we're making | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
our way there now, and hopefully, we'll be able to detain this lad. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:31 | |
I can't, there's a car up me arse, Gaz. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
Gary wears a headcam to record events | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
for use as potential evidence. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
Whereabouts has he gone? | 0:41:49 | 0:41:50 | |
-Where? -It's behind, it's behind, stop! | 0:42:03 | 0:42:07 | |
The adrenaline starts to go, you're on high alert, as it were, | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
and hopefully, you'll be able to catch the lad. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
Come here, you little... | 0:42:20 | 0:42:22 | |
Gaz obviously saw that I was chasing him over the railings, | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
and he decided to take a path that led him around the outside, | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
so we did sort of a pincer on him. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
I'm looking at where he is, | 0:42:42 | 0:42:43 | |
then looking at the gap in the fence, where he is, | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
gap in the fence, and I'm thinking, "I better get there before he does." | 0:42:46 | 0:42:50 | |
Put your hands out, pal. Put your hands out! | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
Put your arm up. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 | |
You're under arrest, mate, | 0:43:05 | 0:43:06 | |
on suspicion of attempted theft of a pedal cycle. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:09 | |
You got anything on you? | 0:43:09 | 0:43:10 | |
Owt sharp that's going to hurt me or you? | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
You what, mate? Needles in your bag, you've nothing in your pockets? | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
-No. -All right, just asking cos you're going to be searched shortly. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
'We don't know whether those needles are capped,' | 0:43:21 | 0:43:23 | |
so it's another thing for us to be aware of. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:27 | |
RADIO CHATTER, SIRENS WAIL | 0:43:28 | 0:43:30 | |
Going to stand you up shortly, mate, all right? | 0:43:32 | 0:43:36 | |
Now they have him under control, the suspect | 0:43:39 | 0:43:42 | |
and the contents of his bag are searched further. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:45 | |
-They your house keys, pal? -Yeah. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:47 | |
-Watch that bag, pal. Are they loose in there? -No, no. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:52 | |
-Which pocket are the needles in? -The back one. | 0:43:52 | 0:43:55 | |
He's told us he's got some needles for drug use in the rear of his bag, | 0:43:57 | 0:44:02 | |
so just asking him which pocket, | 0:44:02 | 0:44:04 | |
I didn't want to put my hands in anywhere | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
where I might get a nasty shock. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
-They all capped, like? -Yeah. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
You going to get that camera off my stuff please? | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
We record what we're doing, I've told you, mate. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:15 | |
-Keep still. -Stand still. -No, I won't! -You'll have to, won't you? -Why? | 0:44:15 | 0:44:19 | |
-Cos you're not going to be going anywhere. -So? | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
He's got some articles in his pocket, | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
some screwdrivers that he's obviously tried to attack the lock with, | 0:44:24 | 0:44:29 | |
so I've seized them at the moment. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:30 | |
He'll be given a bit better search in custody, he's got a lot of needles. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:33 | |
He'll be stealing a bike to fund his drug habit, I'd think. | 0:44:33 | 0:44:36 | |
Nationwide, more than a third of all robbery | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
and shoplifting is carried out to fund an addiction. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
The cops now need to get the suspect to custody. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:49 | |
Leeds - a city with over 200,000 motorists, | 0:44:53 | 0:44:58 | |
but just 30 traffic cops to keep them safe and on the move. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
It's 3pm. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:04 | |
At Killingbeck Police Station, | 0:45:04 | 0:45:06 | |
it's the beginning of the afternoon shift | 0:45:06 | 0:45:08 | |
for West Yorkshire traffic officers Chris Worsnop and Simon Binks. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:13 | |
-Rover. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:45:16 | 0:45:18 | |
The Rover runs a red light. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:22 | |
Brake light out. | 0:45:27 | 0:45:28 | |
Well, he's not having it, is he? | 0:45:30 | 0:45:33 | |
He's had that one and all, hasn't he? | 0:45:33 | 0:45:35 | |
Two red lights are enough to prompt Chris and Simon into some action. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:39 | |
Any time. Any time today. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:44 | |
Have a quick chat. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:51 | |
Last year, West Yorkshire Police | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
dealt with more than 145,000 motoring offences. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:58 | |
-Hiya. Just a quick check, is it your vehicle? -Yes, please. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
Have you got your documents on you? | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
Just come sit in the car a minute, we won't keep you long. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:07 | |
Eh-eh-eh, back seat, back seat. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
Checks on the man's car | 0:46:15 | 0:46:16 | |
reveal he may be committing further offences. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:19 | |
DISPATCHER: Insurance not held, MOT expired... | 0:46:19 | 0:46:23 | |
-OFFICERS: Oh... -MOT expired? | 0:46:23 | 0:46:26 | |
INDISTINCT RADIO COMMUNICATION | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
-Yep, I'll get back to you. -Is MOT expired? | 0:46:32 | 0:46:36 | |
Well, that's least of your problems - insurance. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:39 | |
No, no, no, I have MOT on this. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:40 | |
West Yorkshire is one of the worst areas in the country | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
for motor insurance offences. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:47 | |
In 2012, more than 3,500 motorists were prosecuted here | 0:46:47 | 0:46:52 | |
for driving without cover. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:53 | |
Have you MOT'd it since August of this year? | 0:46:55 | 0:47:00 | |
Definitely, I want to try my MOT, I've actually not got it there. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:04 | |
It should be in my car. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:05 | |
Right, I think we may be confused here with road tax, | 0:47:05 | 0:47:08 | |
as opposed to MOT. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:09 | |
-There's a road tax on there. -Yes. | 0:47:09 | 0:47:12 | |
Simon goes in search of the documentation. | 0:47:12 | 0:47:15 | |
He's just said the MOT certificate's in the car, | 0:47:19 | 0:47:21 | |
so I've just come to have a look for it. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:22 | |
Just need to verify who he is. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
Driving without an MOT is now a mandatory £100 fine. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:30 | |
But if the driver is also found to be uninsured, | 0:47:30 | 0:47:34 | |
he could be facing an additional £200 fine | 0:47:34 | 0:47:36 | |
and six points on his licence. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:38 | |
You're not named upon being the owner of the vehicle, | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
there is no insurance linked to the vehicle | 0:47:43 | 0:47:45 | |
and the vehicle is showing no MOT. | 0:47:45 | 0:47:47 | |
So there's numerous offences disclosed at this moment in time, | 0:47:47 | 0:47:50 | |
-and I need to go and verify that you are who you say you are, OK? -OK. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:54 | |
So do you have any form of identification upon you? | 0:47:54 | 0:47:56 | |
Driving licence, insurance... | 0:47:56 | 0:47:58 | |
I have no identification on me, I was just coming from town. | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
Passport? | 0:48:00 | 0:48:01 | |
You have a passport, excellent. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:05 | |
There you go, want to see if your MOT's in there? | 0:48:15 | 0:48:17 | |
Yeah, two-six, could you run this driver through please? | 0:48:20 | 0:48:22 | |
Details when you're ready. | 0:48:22 | 0:48:24 | |
-I'm not writing on it. -That's my writing, that's yours. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:31 | |
Ah-ah-ah... | 0:48:31 | 0:48:32 | |
-Just the insurance, yeah? -Yeah, give 'em a ring in a second. | 0:48:32 | 0:48:35 | |
The driver's identity is confirmed, | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
but Chris and Simon still need to verify the information | 0:48:37 | 0:48:40 | |
on the Police National Database is correct. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:43 | |
-Where's your...? -Yeah, provisional. Get back to you. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:47 | |
And now the computer says he doesn't have a full licence. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:51 | |
You have a provisional driving licence. | 0:48:51 | 0:48:53 | |
Cos recently, I just... | 0:48:53 | 0:48:54 | |
I just got my application for - what do you call it? | 0:48:54 | 0:48:57 | |
International driving licence, I'm from Ghana, | 0:48:57 | 0:49:01 | |
that's why I'm driving it. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:03 | |
Have you, since you came to the country - | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
eight years ago you say - | 0:49:06 | 0:49:08 | |
have you passed a driving test? | 0:49:08 | 0:49:10 | |
-Driving test for what, for Ghana? -No, no, no. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
My international licence. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:18 | |
It's only valid for a year, that. You've been here nine years. | 0:49:18 | 0:49:22 | |
Yeah, bruv, boss... | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
Sorry for calling you "bro." | 0:49:24 | 0:49:26 | |
I just started driving cos I got the international licence. | 0:49:26 | 0:49:29 | |
-Mr Assini... -And you can even see my insurance. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
-You cannot drive in the United Kingdom... -Boss, boss... | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
-Just let me finish please. -I understand what you're saying, | 0:49:35 | 0:49:38 | |
but I've not been driving seven years. | 0:49:38 | 0:49:40 | |
-I wasn't driving at all. -Doesn't matter. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:43 | |
-You're not listening to me. -Boss, you can even see when it was issued. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:46 | |
You're not listening. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:47 | |
Once you have been a resident in the United Kingdom | 0:49:47 | 0:49:51 | |
more than 12 months, | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
you need to exchange your international licence, | 0:49:54 | 0:49:58 | |
for a UK driving licence. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
What am I failing to comply now? | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
You've not got a licence, you're not allowed to drive. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:05 | |
-When I have international licence? -No, you're not listening to me. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:08 | |
Your international driving licence has expired. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:11 | |
Yeah, hiya, it's PC Binks from West Yorkshire Police. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:14 | |
Yeah, we've just stopped a vehicle that's showing no insurance | 0:50:16 | 0:50:19 | |
on the Police National Database, | 0:50:19 | 0:50:21 | |
wondered if you could check it out for me? | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
While Simon checks with the Motor Insurers' Bureau | 0:50:25 | 0:50:28 | |
that the driver is also uninsured... | 0:50:28 | 0:50:30 | |
..60 miles away in Hull... | 0:50:32 | 0:50:34 | |
Come here, you little... | 0:50:36 | 0:50:37 | |
..a chase through the back streets of Hull has ended with Gary and Paul | 0:50:39 | 0:50:42 | |
catching a suspected bicycle thief. | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
He's carrying 50 drugs needles and being detained | 0:50:47 | 0:50:50 | |
until transport arrives to take him to custody. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
Which one of you was fast enough to get him? | 0:50:54 | 0:50:57 | |
-Pretty much both at the same time. -You got him, didn't you? | 0:50:57 | 0:51:00 | |
I had to scale a fence, like, know what I mean? | 0:51:00 | 0:51:03 | |
It were 12 foot, wasn't it? | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
Weighs about 6st, that's why he caught him first. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:08 | |
'There's quite a lot of banter that goes between me and Paul.' | 0:51:08 | 0:51:11 | |
If you're not enjoying it and having a laugh, | 0:51:11 | 0:51:14 | |
the motivation to do the job isn't there as well. | 0:51:14 | 0:51:16 | |
I think it keeps us going, our banter. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
Circumstances? | 0:51:31 | 0:51:33 | |
Circumstances are this gentleman has been sighted trying to steal | 0:51:33 | 0:51:39 | |
a pedal cycle on Park Street, close to Tesco's. | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
He's been chased by PCSO. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:45 | |
He's tried to steal somebody's bike, and that bike could have been | 0:51:45 | 0:51:48 | |
somebody's who travelled to work on it. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:49 | |
That could have been his mode of transport, | 0:51:49 | 0:51:52 | |
we need to catch these people and stop them doing what they're doing. | 0:51:52 | 0:51:55 | |
They cause massive amounts of misery to all sorts of people. | 0:51:55 | 0:51:58 | |
With the suspect now in custody, thoughts turn to the foot chase. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:03 | |
Right place, right time. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
Yeah, I thought I'd give Gaz the easy run through the flat bit | 0:52:05 | 0:52:08 | |
while I went over the steeples. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:12 | |
You've seen Hot Fuzz, haven't you? | 0:52:12 | 0:52:14 | |
PAUL LAUGHS | 0:52:14 | 0:52:16 | |
To some people, it might seem like a minor crime, | 0:52:16 | 0:52:18 | |
but it is a massive problem and seems to be getting bigger. | 0:52:18 | 0:52:21 | |
It's an easy way for drug addicts to get easy money, | 0:52:21 | 0:52:25 | |
by selling a bike on for 20, 30 quid | 0:52:25 | 0:52:27 | |
and getting the drugs they can use that day. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:30 | |
We do target the higher level criminal, | 0:52:30 | 0:52:34 | |
but at the end of the day, if crime's happening | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
and we're there, we'll deal with it. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:38 | |
It's no problem, it's what we're here for, | 0:52:38 | 0:52:41 | |
so we do tackle all crimes, and they are interlinked. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:45 | |
He's obviously got quite high drug addiction, | 0:52:45 | 0:52:47 | |
with the amount of needles he's had on him. | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
It might be a chance for him to actually sort himself out | 0:52:49 | 0:52:52 | |
and get some help while he's in custody, | 0:52:52 | 0:52:54 | |
with the drug referral worker. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:56 | |
It's estimated five million burglaries and robberies | 0:52:56 | 0:52:59 | |
are prevented through successful drug treatment programmes | 0:52:59 | 0:53:02 | |
across the country every year. | 0:53:02 | 0:53:03 | |
Back in Leeds, checks have confirmed the red Rover driver who ran | 0:53:10 | 0:53:14 | |
two red lights in front of the cops is unlicensed and uninsured. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:19 | |
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence | 0:53:19 | 0:53:22 | |
if you do not mention something you later rely on in court. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:24 | |
Nowadays, rather than arresting motorists committing | 0:53:24 | 0:53:28 | |
driving offences and taking them into custody, police interview them | 0:53:28 | 0:53:32 | |
at the roadside and report them straight to court. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:36 | |
-Understand? -Give me a ticket, man. -Do you understand what I've said? | 0:53:36 | 0:53:39 | |
I didn't hear nothing of what you said, so you can say it again. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:43 | |
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence... | 0:53:43 | 0:53:46 | |
-Can I just talk to you...? -No, I'm interviewing you. | 0:53:46 | 0:53:49 | |
Kassim, I am interviewing you. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:50 | |
Every time you talk over me, I start again. | 0:53:50 | 0:53:53 | |
So wait, when I'm ready you can start. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:56 | |
Can't I talk before you start | 0:53:56 | 0:53:57 | |
reading me all these like I'm in a movie? | 0:53:57 | 0:53:59 | |
You already recorded me anyway. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
You said you wanted to give me a ticket. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:04 | |
Eh? | 0:54:06 | 0:54:08 | |
I know I'm talking to you. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:09 | |
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence | 0:54:13 | 0:54:16 | |
if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:19 | |
With his rights finally read and accepted, | 0:54:19 | 0:54:21 | |
Chris interviews the driver. | 0:54:21 | 0:54:24 | |
If anything happens to this car, I'm going to sue you, man. | 0:54:24 | 0:54:27 | |
You what, sorry? | 0:54:27 | 0:54:28 | |
-Sorry? Was that a threat? -How can I threaten you? | 0:54:30 | 0:54:33 | |
You're threatening me. | 0:54:33 | 0:54:35 | |
Was that a threat, Kassim? | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
How can I threat you? I'm in your car, man. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:41 | |
You are threatening me, you say I threaten you. | 0:54:41 | 0:54:43 | |
You have guns, you have everything. | 0:54:43 | 0:54:45 | |
I've got nothing and you say I am threatening you. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:47 | |
-Right. -Come on, man. -I haven't got a gun. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:50 | |
With his interview concluded, | 0:54:50 | 0:54:52 | |
the driver is now asked to provide a fingerprint | 0:54:52 | 0:54:54 | |
to verify his identification when he appears at court. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
I'm now asking you - will you provide your fingerprint to prove that | 0:54:59 | 0:55:03 | |
you were present in relation to this interview? | 0:55:03 | 0:55:06 | |
Boss, let's be fair to each other, why do you need my fingerprint? | 0:55:06 | 0:55:09 | |
At this moment in time, I cannot verify who you are. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:12 | |
The issue we are going to have in the future | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
is when you go to court for this offence, | 0:55:15 | 0:55:17 | |
you saying, "It wasn't me." | 0:55:17 | 0:55:19 | |
Ah! You took everything from me, | 0:55:19 | 0:55:21 | |
you even trying to pick my wife's car, | 0:55:21 | 0:55:23 | |
I say, "OK, go on", and you are demanding... | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
Are you willing to provide a fingerprint or not? | 0:55:25 | 0:55:27 | |
If I say no, you're going to arrest me, yeah? | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
-Innit, boss? -Could do. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:32 | |
You guys, you are making me look like I have no rights. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:35 | |
Are you going to give me your fingerprint | 0:55:35 | 0:55:37 | |
to prove that you are the person I've interviewed at the roadside or not? | 0:55:37 | 0:55:41 | |
Boss, why you trying to do this to me? | 0:55:41 | 0:55:44 | |
To prove that you are the person | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
that I've interviewed at the roadside. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:49 | |
So right now, you're calling me a criminal, | 0:55:49 | 0:55:51 | |
you have to judge me and everything, what is going on? | 0:55:51 | 0:55:54 | |
Right, since the fact you're not being very helpful... | 0:55:54 | 0:55:58 | |
-You going to lock me up? -Kassim, you going to let me finish? | 0:55:58 | 0:56:02 | |
Because all you do is interrupt, you're very rude. You are very rude. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:07 | |
We're going to get the fingerprint machine down, | 0:56:07 | 0:56:10 | |
the Lantern, we're going to put you on the Lantern. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:12 | |
-In your office in Bradford?! -You're not even listening, are you? | 0:56:12 | 0:56:15 | |
You're in a different zone to me, completely. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:18 | |
Oh, no, that's a long thing, I will give you this thing. | 0:56:18 | 0:56:21 | |
Right index finger, please. Into the pad, on there. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:26 | |
-Don't bother, mate, he's giving his fingerprint now. -Sign there for me. | 0:56:27 | 0:56:30 | |
-I'm not signing it, you said you want... -Well, I need that! | 0:56:30 | 0:56:33 | |
No, no, no, you see, now you are changing. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:36 | |
That's your fingerprint, I need you to sign that that's your fingerprint. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:41 | |
You said you want one, I'm not signing it. | 0:56:41 | 0:56:43 | |
Everything you said I've done it, but I don't sign. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:46 | |
-So you're refusing to sign it? -I've done it, I'm not signing it. | 0:56:46 | 0:56:50 | |
Right. OK. "Refused to...sign." | 0:56:50 | 0:56:56 | |
-No problem. -I'll let you out then. Finished with him, aren't we? -Yeah. | 0:56:56 | 0:57:01 | |
Despite the man's refusal to sign, he will still be reported to court | 0:57:03 | 0:57:07 | |

-How difficult can you make a straightforward job? -Yeah. | 0:57:13 | 0:57:17 | |
