0:00:09 > 0:00:11to the historic city of York.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14It just offers you everything that policing could offer you.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16You work the cities, you work the rural areas.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26that's there in front of us.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29The traffic cops here deal with among the highest number

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Tonight:
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Cyclist. Cyclist. Seen him.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43It's safety first as the cops pursue disqualified drivers.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Out! Don't touch me. Out!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Career criminals.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And those desperate to evade the law.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56She's failed to stop. Yeah. She's continued on and we've found her like this.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02A decision either way could mean the difference between
0:01:02 > 0:01:03someone's life or death.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09A vast area stretching the traffic cops to the limit.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23It's 6.15am.
0:01:23 > 0:01:2615 miles west of the city of York.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Traffic Constable Lee Cobb is nearing the end of his night shift
0:01:31 > 0:01:35when an urgent shout comes through from the control room.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Romeo, four one.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Two burglars had been disturbed inside a house
0:01:39 > 0:01:40at a village near York.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43'Threatened the owner of the house'
0:01:43 > 0:01:45to get the car keys to steal the car.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50The thieves have stolen a blue Peugeot 106 and they're on the move.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Lee suspects they're making a break for North Yorkshire's border.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57The vast majority of our thefts,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01burglaries, are all taking place by people who are from
0:02:01 > 0:02:04the bigger areas, you know, Durham or Leeds, Doncaster.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08They travel to us, steal our nice cars and take them back there.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Lee heads along the A64 dual carriageway to see
0:02:12 > 0:02:13if he can spot the Peugeot.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Travelling down the A64, it's passed me in the opposite direction.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Turned off into Tadcaster itself.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I asked one of the firearms lads to peel off
0:02:21 > 0:02:24and travel through Tadcaster and try and pick it up.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Lee's sighting of the stolen car gives other units a chance
0:02:27 > 0:02:29to spot the suspects.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Within two minutes, the cops have caught up with it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Firearms car got behind it quite quickly in the town.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Realising the cops are behind him, the driver takes to the wrong side
0:02:38 > 0:02:42of the road and heads straight through red traffic lights.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45POLICE RADIO: 'Behind the vehicle, Tadcaster.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48'The vehicle is failing to stop.'
0:02:48 > 0:02:50People are getting up for work, it's half six in the morning.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's not unreasonable to think that the paper boys are out and about,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56people getting ready for school. So the stakes are going to be higher.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You have to really concentrate on what you're doing
0:02:59 > 0:03:01and think to yourself, is it correct to carry on?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Pursuing illegal drivers on the road is one of the main responsibilities
0:03:04 > 0:03:07of the traffic cops.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10But when criminals refuse to stop,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13the cops are forced to make a judgment call.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Any police pursuit is inherently dangerous.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I think the public understand there is a need to catch people
0:03:19 > 0:03:21that are doing these sort of things.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26But they also, erm, see the bad press about when it goes wrong.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Accidents happen.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Over the last decade, there's been an average of 20 fatalities
0:03:32 > 0:03:35every year during police pursuits.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Each one is very different
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and each one has to be married up with a lot of different
0:03:49 > 0:03:52They make the decision to fail to stop.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55A decision either way could mean the difference
0:03:55 > 0:04:04between someone's life or death.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Back on the outskirts of Tadcaster, officers continue to pursue the
0:04:10 > 0:04:14stolen blue Peugeot and the thieves' desperation becomes evident.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Heading out of town,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24the car thieves narrowly avoid a truck coming the other way.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27'Straight away that puts the stakes up on what they're doing.'
0:04:27 > 0:04:31It shows the mentality and it shows they want to get away at all costs.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Speed's now seven zero.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38They continue to throw things out of the vehicle.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40As the thieves head towards the borders between North
0:04:40 > 0:04:44and West Yorkshire, the cops plan to stop them using a stinger -
0:04:44 > 0:04:46a spiked tyre shredder.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49INDISTINCT CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO
0:04:52 > 0:04:55The stinger has been deployed across the road ahead.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00But the thieves spot the officers.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07He's obviously thought, I hope they're not going to get anywhere with this.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09He's then gone up the embankment to get round the stinger.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It's not disabled him and he managed to carry on.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16POLICE OFFICER: Contact made again, he's gone round the stinger.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Up ahead, a third cop car joins the pursuit to help surround
0:05:20 > 0:05:22the Peugeot and bring it to a halt.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26POLICE RADIO: 'Going down the A1. Down the A1.'
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Now, timing is critical.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I'm up in front of him.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Blue lights illuminated on the car
0:05:34 > 0:05:36and I'm trying to feed him down the A1.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39He clearly wasn't having that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42POLICE RADIO: 'Contact made with me. Get him on the roundabout.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44'Up to the roundabout.'
0:05:44 > 0:05:46When he swiped the car I was really annoyed.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Primarily, he was showing his intentions where he wants to go
0:05:48 > 0:05:51but secondly, he's damaged my police vehicle
0:05:51 > 0:05:52and it's a car I use all the time.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Determined not to let the suspects escape, the cops make deliberate
0:05:57 > 0:06:00contact, forcing the stolen car out of control.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11He's managed to slam on his brakes to try and disable the firearms car
0:06:11 > 0:06:15that was behind him and in doing so he's made a hash of it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It's spun him off the road and into a lamppost.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Checks on the driver and passenger confirm they're not locals.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25One guy actually lived in Leeds itself.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So, he's travelled all the way from Leeds in West Yorkshire, through
0:06:28 > 0:06:32North Yorkshire, to Kexby which is right on the border with Humberside.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35He is a career criminal so we are an occupational hazard to him.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37That's all he's done. He's 40 years old
0:06:37 > 0:06:38and he's still out stealing cars.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Later at the police station,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44the men were linked to a spate of burglaries throughout the night.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47This is the fifth or sixth car that was stolen that night.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51They've been clearly grafting all night long.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53And pushed the boundaries too far
0:06:53 > 0:06:56trying to burgle someone's house at quarter past six in the morning
0:06:56 > 0:06:58and they caught out by somebody getting up for work.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Greed or stupidity, I don't know.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05No matter how much the cops keep safety in mind,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07some pursuits do end in accidents.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11On the outskirts of York, it's 2pm.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16BEEPING
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Hello.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Sergeant Julian Pearson receives a radio message
0:07:20 > 0:07:23about a suspected shoplifter in the run who crashed
0:07:23 > 0:07:26when she tried to escape from the pursuing cops.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Ten four. I'll pop down.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36POLICE SIREN
0:07:36 > 0:07:38We're going to a car that's made off from police
0:07:38 > 0:07:41and the vehicle's continued to drive erratically.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46He's lost control on a roundabout, crashed and rolled the car.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Because North Yorkshire cops were chasing the vehicle,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51it's Julian's job to make sure the correct rules of engagement
0:07:51 > 0:07:53were followed during the pursuit.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'm going to attend because, technically,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01it's a police county vehicle.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04As such, a sergeant should attend the scene and see
0:08:04 > 0:08:07if there's any...make sure everything's being done correctly.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I'll see what the injuries are when we get there.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Were they a contributing factor to the crash?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17We've obviously got congestion on the bypass as a result
0:08:17 > 0:08:18of the collision.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25As the lead officer on the scene...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Hiya, you're all right? ..Julian's priority is the injured driver
0:08:27 > 0:08:30even though she tried to escape from the police.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33She came across at speed, no other vehicles involved.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35She was trying to get away from him? Yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Do you understand what's going to be happening from a police point of view?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41The priority is to get you to hospital,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43we ascertain who you are.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46We will deal with the collision and then, at some point,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49once you've been treated and you're released,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51we'll be in contact with you and speak to you in relation to
0:08:51 > 0:08:54what's happened and how you came to crash.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56But the priority is to get you treated.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59'Regardless of what she's done, she needs to be medically assessed.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02'We need to open up the road network as quickly as we can to stop
0:09:02 > 0:09:04'annoying members of the public'
0:09:04 > 0:09:06but equally, gather the evidence without losing anything.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10With an air ambulance on the way to help the driver, Julian's
0:09:10 > 0:09:14next job is to find out the sequence of events leading up to the crash.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18OK, so what's the member of the public said to you?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Basically, I've spoken to three or four...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Witness statements suggest that the suspect was driving erratically.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Initial witnesses said, she's just in haste, absolute haste,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28to get away from the police.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Julian quickly identifies physical evidence of what has happened.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36She's come up here at speed, hasn't she, clipped that.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39That's her alloy wheel going up the side of the roundabout,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42and then you've got the two gauge marks on the carriageway
0:09:42 > 0:09:45where the car's then turned over and then rolled again.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You've got the first tipping point here.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50These marks here will be, as the vehicle's rotating,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52then you've got a flip mark there.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56The marks you've got there on the road surface will be consistent with...
0:09:58 > 0:10:02That will be consistent with those as the car's then tipped over and rolled.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05She's overtaken members of the public on the wrong side
0:10:05 > 0:10:09of the carriageway. It's just straight up bad driving, really.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11The question now is,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15were the cops in pursuit in any way to blame for the accident?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19If a chase becomes too dangerous the protocol is to pull back.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23We've been behind her, blue lights on... Yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26She's known we've been behind her, she's failed to stop.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29She's continued on, we've backed off, lights off, sirens off,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32backed off. She's then headed towards this roundabout.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35As we approached the roundabout we found it like this.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37'He's done the right thing.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39'The vehicle's come out, he's asked her to stop. She hasn't stopped'
0:10:39 > 0:10:43and the collision has occurred as a result of her own actions
0:10:43 > 0:10:45and he was nowhere near at the point of the collision.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51Satisfied the pursuing cops were in no way to blame for the accident,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Julian oversees the safe landing of an air ambulance.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59The bypass is closed.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Got to put the air ambulance down so we have to close the road
0:11:02 > 0:11:05to make it safe for everybody.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06But before it can land,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10the helicopter is called to another, more urgent incident
0:11:10 > 0:11:14leaving Julian with an injured suspect he needs to get to hospital.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Are they coming from Shipton Road?
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Harrogate?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23With an ambulance 16 miles away, Julian turns his attentions
0:11:23 > 0:11:26back to the driver and the contents of her boot.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I'm just looking at what's in the vehicle, basically.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33It's not clear if the bags are stolen
0:11:33 > 0:11:35but he has found something suspicious.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37A de-tagger.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39When you go into a shop to buy something,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43that's what they use to take the security devices off the clothing.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45So, she's obviously got that from somewhere.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48'We need to be able to get the evidence together'
0:11:48 > 0:11:50to be able to categorically pin those offences on her,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52to be able to charge her with that.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Finally, an ambulance arrives.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56As soon as she's out we'll move it.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Sweep the carriageway.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01The woman's been lucky. Her injuries aren't serious.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05What she should have done was stop.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Had she stopped she could have explained why she had goods
0:12:09 > 0:12:11in the back of the car and the matter could have been dealt with.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14As it is, she's now written her car off,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17cost the taxpayer a fortune in the emergency services attending,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20We've had an air ambulance that couldn't land.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22We've got numerous cars here dealing with the actual
0:12:22 > 0:12:24collision, all for what?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27POLICE RADIO CHATTER Ridiculous.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34New information about the driver comes to light.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37She's a provisional licence holder
0:12:37 > 0:12:39and shouldn't be driving unsupervised.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Because she's lied to her insurance company to obtain insurance
0:12:45 > 0:12:47and told them she's a full licence holder,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51so they will pay for the damage to the any roadside furniture or
0:12:51 > 0:12:56third party, but as far as her car is concerned, they won't touch it.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Lovely. Thank you ever so much.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02With the offences mounting up,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04the suspect has a lot of explaining to do.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Pursuing criminals on the run is made even more difficult at night.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Especially on dark country roads.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20On the southern borders of the county, near Selby, Julian is crewed
0:13:20 > 0:13:23with Traffic Constable Lee Cobb on night patrol,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26when they're contacted by a local officer.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Generally, if I open my mouth.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38No, not often. Don't push your luck.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41The cops' banter soon turn serious
0:13:41 > 0:13:45when there's a report of two disqualified drivers in a car,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48also referred to by traffic cops as 'dizzy' drivers.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Checks made by local police identify them as disqualified
0:13:57 > 0:14:01but because the car is parked there's no grounds to arrest them.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Unless they drive off.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Dizzy driver time. It's what we need.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08What address is it at?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Lee thinks they may chance their luck and drive off.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21They actually live maybe 15 miles away from where the car is.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's now just two degrees, it's actually quite cold.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26They've said they're going to walk home.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29If I'm a betting man I would say they're not going to walk home.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31They're going to hang fire around the corner, wait until the
0:14:31 > 0:14:34bobbies leave, and then they'll probably come back and get the car.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I certainly wouldn't walk home in this weather.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41As the local officers are not able to pursue,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43traffic cops Lee and Julian head over to keep watch
0:14:43 > 0:14:45on the dizzy drivers.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48We'll try and get as close to the address as possible,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50see if it'll move off the drive.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55They also have the advantage that they're in an unmarked car.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56This should be Grange.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And there's the Golf on the driveway.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So, if we get into Prospect Close on the right.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And try and stick somewhere out of the way.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08We're here, mate.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11We're going to kill our car and sit and listen with windows down.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13See if we can hear it start up.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19With the trap set, it's now a waiting game for Lee and Julian
0:15:19 > 0:15:21to see if the men make off in the car.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25It's the old phrase, give them a bit of rope and they'll hang themselves.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28'Here we have two individuals in a car.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31'The likelihood of them driving it is high.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33'If I wasn't to sit there'
0:15:33 > 0:15:35and wait for them to drive, then I wouldn't be doing my job.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41We would do this routinely for drink drivers or disqualified drivers,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43you know, sit and wait.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I think members of the public, or people like that,
0:15:47 > 0:15:51work on the basis that we get bored after 20 minutes
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and then we'll leave.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55But certain people are worth waiting for.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59It's just having the patience to sit here and wait. Hm.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02'If it is quiet and nothing's happening, by the sheer nature'
0:16:02 > 0:16:06of you being sat in a warm car you may start nodding off.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08POLICE RADIO BLEEPS
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Their patience pays off. The car is on the move.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16That Golf's moving, I'm going to have to go. There we are.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23This Golf we were looking for, down the bottom end, has moved off.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Brick Lane. Information, we are a double-crewed TPAC-trained vehicle.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Right, right, onto the 645 link road.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's not going to stop, is it?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Even though they're in an unmarked car, it's not long before Lee
0:16:35 > 0:16:38and Julian suspect the driver has spotted them.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I think he twigged pretty quickly who we were.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Straight away, he's shown his intention
0:16:43 > 0:16:45with the speed he went round the roundabout.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49As his speed increases, Lee and Julian switch on their blue lights.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54They see a blue light and it's a nanosecond decision, stop or go.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57It's failing to stop.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Speed, six zero.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Coming into Carlton. It's two up.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Julian tries to get in front and attempts to slow the driver down.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13'I've overtaken him to steer him into a trap'
0:17:13 > 0:17:16and he's decided to handbrake it behind me and go the other way.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19He's done a U-turn. He's done a U-turn from Carlton.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22We're heading back towards Camblesforth roundabout.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24What other units have we got available, please?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27The U-turn leaves the cops under pressure to catch up
0:17:27 > 0:17:30or risk losing them altogether.
0:17:34 > 0:17:3650 miles away near Scarborough...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40POLICE RADIO: 'Go ahead. Copy.' Yeah, it's understood.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Traffic cop, Mark Ganella, is also playing catch up as he responds
0:17:44 > 0:17:47to a report of a suspected burglar on the move.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55'One of my colleagues called up, who was at Malton, some 22 miles'
0:17:55 > 0:17:59ahead of me, to say she was behind the suspect's vehicle.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yes, can you just stay behind it.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Make no attempt to stop it at this time.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06But if you can just keep eye ball on it for me.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10'We have got a marked police vehicle behind it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14'However, it's not a traffic vehicle so it's not allowed to pursue it.'
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Mark needs to get there fast
0:18:17 > 0:18:21and take over before the driver realises he's being tailed.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24'Your adrenaline level is up but you're also thinking,
0:18:24 > 0:18:25'the last thing I want to do is crash,'
0:18:25 > 0:18:30is hit somebody else's car or just damage my own car.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33The reported theft is of property stolen
0:18:33 > 0:18:35from a Scarborough guest house.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Can we also confirm whether they're known to the complainant?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46That's understood. Thank you.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Got the subject vehicle directly ahead of me on the nearside lane.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I've turned my blue lights off.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I will wait for an additional resource to get behind me.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Traffic cop Martin Hayes is also responding to the call
0:19:00 > 0:19:03to help Mark stop the vehicle.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Just dropping in behind 851.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08POLICE RADIO: 'Can you hold lane two? Hold lane two...'
0:19:08 > 0:19:10..to stop anything coming past.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Lane two held.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16So, we're not allowing anything to go past us.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19It's just giving us a bit of a sterile area to work in, when
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I get the opportunity to stop it,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I'm hoping the driver's just going to pull over.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Nearside indication from the subject vehicle.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Stop, stop, stop.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40In this situation, it indicated and pulled over. No problem at all.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Hiya, mate. All right? How are you doing?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45All right. OK.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I believe that you've just stolen some property.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Do you want to just unlock the door for me. I'm TC Gonella, all right.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I believe you've got some stolen property in here.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Be fair with me and be honest.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Mark is treating this as a burglary despite what the driver says.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Just open the door for me, then. I'm not going to start the engine.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09You open the door for me.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Just open the door. Brilliant.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Just take your seatbelt off for me.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18All right? You're under arrest. What for? On suspicion of theft.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19All right?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Just put your hands out for us.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Just put your hands out. Don't be silly.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Jump yourself out, my friend.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28As Mark talks to the suspect,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31he begins to have concerns about his behaviour. Mind your head.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37It became clear to me very quickly that there were maybe some issues
0:20:37 > 0:20:41with the gentleman, with maybe his health or his understanding.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44To me, he seemed quite confused, quite dazed.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Just walk this way for me. I don't want you in the carriageway.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Let me have a cigarette. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Just come over here. Just come over here.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I'll let you have a tab, but come and stand here, all right?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56You're under arrest on suspicion of theft. Yeah?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I'm going to caution you that you do not have to say anything,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
0:21:02 > 0:21:04something which you later rely on in court.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06While the driver is kept under control,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09in the boot, the cops find a TV,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12one of the items reported stolen.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14The driver now has some explaining to do.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I've got to speak to the other people involved,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19but at the moment... Well, if it's been stolen or it's been bought,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21or it's been bought or it's been stolen...
0:21:21 > 0:21:24They're different things, aren't they? Yes, they are. That's...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26They are different things, yes, they are.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29That's why you're under arrest, and why we've got to talk about it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Do you understand? Yeah, yeah.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32'It may be legitimate.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34'It may be that he has actually bought a telly.'
0:21:34 > 0:21:37It may be that someone else has been in the room and taken the telly.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Even though the man is still insisting the TV is not stolen...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Mind your head, mate.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45..he's going to be taken to the police station in York
0:21:45 > 0:21:48while the cops continue to investigate the allegation.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53On the southern borders of the county,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56traffic cops Julian and Lee are still trying to catch up with
0:21:56 > 0:21:59the dizzy drivers who failed to stop for them.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01It is unmarked, but it's fitted with lights and sirens.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04What other units have we got available, please?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Consider Air Support. SIREN SOUNDS
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Oh!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Two IC1 males. The driver appears to be quite short.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Shaven head, big ears, and a dark-coloured top.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19The speed is currently five zero. The roads are dry.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21The road traffic is light.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24RADIO: 'No other units in the area.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27'I'll see what I can get towards you.'
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Yes, yes, no deviations, speed seven zero
0:22:30 > 0:22:33on the 1041 towards the 63 bypass.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38He's straddling the offside of the carriageway.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43He's now over the centre white line. Speed currently eight zero.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47The runaway's extraordinary risk-taking becomes a real concern.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Yeah, he's the wrong side of the bollard,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53approaching the roundabout.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Speed is seven zero.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Hang on, hang on. He's on the grass.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Oh, no, no, no.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00'Well, he's taking his chance
0:23:00 > 0:23:03'going the complete wrong side of the roundabout.'
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I cringed, because you can't see what's coming,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08and if somebody came the other way, it would have been a head-on.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10At that speed, that would cause some serious damage.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13We are continuing A19, north towards York.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17The roads may be quiet, but they're not empty.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Cyclist. Cyclist! Sorry.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Pursuit, roundabout at Barlby.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Stand by. Taking the first, taking the first. Into Barlby.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31He's taking the first right, first right, which is Howden Road.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32After a 10-minute pursuit,
0:23:32 > 0:23:37the dizzy driver makes a last-ditch attempt to escape from the cops.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Pinder's Way, mate, Pinder's Way. It's a dead end.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43'He's then gone through the cul-de-sac at horrendous speeds.'
0:23:43 > 0:23:46At one point, he'd actually got two wheels on the road,
0:23:46 > 0:23:47because he'd hit a speed bump.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50He's in Pinder's Way. Stand by for decamp.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Yep. Over the speed bumps.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53He's going to have to decamp, he's in a dead-end.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57TYRES SCREECH
0:23:57 > 0:23:58I'm having him.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Lee gives chase to the driver, who's set off on foot.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03It were through gardens, Pinder's Way, through gardens.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Julian tackles the passenger.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07You're under arrest! Get out! Out!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Are you stupid? You're... Out!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Don't touch me! Out!
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Hands behind your back. What...?! Hands behind your back.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Are you stupid?
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Are you stupid?!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Other hand behind your back.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24He was very anti-police.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26He was very in-your-face, very aggressive.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Faggot.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Big BLEEP idiot.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35The passenger is taken in for further questioning.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38He's run through the garden... But the driver has run away.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40'He's got to the end of the cul-de-sac,'
0:24:40 > 0:24:43put the handbrake on, and turned round to face the driver's door
0:24:43 > 0:24:46away from us to give him the edge to get out and leg it.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Finding him in the pitch-black is not going to be easy,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52and Lee and Julian are going to need support to find him.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58At the police station in York,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00the suspect arrested for the theft of the television
0:25:00 > 0:25:02is being checked in.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Can I have a coffee? Yeah, we'll get you a coffee.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Can I have another cigarette? You can't.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11The cops have concerns about the man's behaviour.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Are you suffering any mental health problems or depression?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17You're bipolar? Anything else?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21The decision in custody was to get him assessed,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25so we have what is called a Medex nurse, a trained nurse
0:25:25 > 0:25:28on duty in the police station that would make that assessment for us.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31It starts to build a picture of the people you're dealing with,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35and that may then have an effect on how you continue to deal with them.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Does he understand what we're saying and why we're asking questions?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Three sugars? HE LAUGHS
0:25:40 > 0:25:42All right. We'll get you sorted in a second, mate.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50With the suspected thief in his cell waiting for a medical assessment,
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Mark makes some further enquiries.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55We did some checks on the movements of that vehicle,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57and although they were on holiday in North Yorkshire,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00it appeared that they were going back most days,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03back to their home address, to feed the cats.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Bizarre.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Driving home regularly during a holiday in Scarborough
0:26:08 > 0:26:12may be unusual, but it's not proof of criminal activity.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14However, checks on the suspect's car reveal
0:26:14 > 0:26:18he shouldn't be on the road. He's a disqualified driver.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21So at the moment for him, he was driving,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and he's got a revoked licence. 'Yes, yes, that's correct.'
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Can you also do me a vehicle check? I just want to make sure
0:26:26 > 0:26:28he's shown on the insurance for the vehicle.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33So he's not on the insurance either?
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Cheers. Bye-bye.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Right. He's...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43His licence was revoked on the 22nd of May, 2010.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46And it was revoked under medical grounds.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48When a licence is revoked for medical grounds,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50the driver must get the all-clear from a doctor
0:26:50 > 0:26:53before he's fit to get back behind the wheel.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's just that horrible feeling, isn't it?
0:26:55 > 0:27:00He's driving a nice, newish car down the A64.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Lots of traffic on the road.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Yeah, it's a sinking feeling, when you find people that do this.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08There's your coffee. Three sugars.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Right now, the cell is the safest place for the suspect,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15keeping him off the roads. So we'll get things sorted for you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:2111 miles away, traffic cop Lee Cobb is still searching for
0:27:21 > 0:27:24the disqualified driver he chased
0:27:24 > 0:27:26down a dead-end in the village of Barlby.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The driver's out legging it, so I followed him into a garden.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I've just caught his toes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34The thin one's outstanding here.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Big ears. Is that the lad you were with?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38There's no damage.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41'You never know if he's going to be hiding around the corner'
0:27:41 > 0:27:44to clout you one as you walk round, so you have to be wary.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45It was literally this gate.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48He was over the top. Jumped over the fence.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50That, unfortunately, was the last time I saw him.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54I think he's gone to ground in one of the gardens nearby.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Supposedly. Or usually, they hide in the gardens.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05A search dog is called in to help look for the suspect.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12The dog can have a sniff around and see if it picks anything up.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16My last sighting was here, and he's gone over a small gate.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Well, the gate there, which is locked.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20And he's gone towards the lattered fence,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22and that was the last time I saw his backside.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26So, mid-20s, scrawny thing,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29shaven head, big ears. Grey top. Right.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It would be nice to catch him while he's out here,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35freezing his backside off like we are, trying to find him.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37At least the birds are happy, chirping away.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42So he thinks in his mind that if he gets away,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45then he's not going to be caught and not going to come to court over it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Erm... He's sadly mistaken.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52But after half an hour, the dogs draw a blank too.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Somewhat disappointing. Even the pooch didn't find him.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Oh, joy(!) Oh, joy.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Oh, well. I need to lose a couple of stone, after all.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07But Lee is still hopeful, as he suspects the driver isn't local,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10and other units are searching for him.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11He was lost, in effect,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14so he's trying to get his way back out of the village
0:29:14 > 0:29:15to get to familiar ground.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19As the police impound the car, a lead comes through.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Standby.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Yep!
0:29:24 > 0:29:28A man fitting the description has been reported just half a mile away,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30asking a member of the public for directions.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Julian sets off to find the driver.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37So it's just now an area search to try and locate him again.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42To catch a criminal, you've got to think like a criminal.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44You've got to think, "Right, what would I...
0:29:44 > 0:29:47"If I was this particular individual, what would I do?"
0:29:48 > 0:29:51If he's going to do anything...
0:29:52 > 0:29:55..he's going to walk out onto the A19.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59The suspect's registered home address is in Camblesforth,
0:29:59 > 0:30:00and that's seven miles away.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Clearly, he has no idea where he is.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Which gives us an advantage.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Also helping Julian is the cold weather.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Temperatures tonight are just above freezing,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and the driver's been on the run for over an hour.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20I don't think he's dressed for this weather, so he's going to want to...
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Get wherever he's going as quickly as he can.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25It's just a waiting game.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Then, Julian spots someone.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Come here. Where are you going?
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Back home. Sorry?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Back home. Where are you from?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39He wants to get to Camblesforth.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44So...you know straight away it's the right guy. It's definitely him.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Well, what are you doing in Camblesforth?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Going to seeing my girlfriend. And what's she called? Laura.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I've got to pretend to him that I don't know him.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55And whilst I'm doing that, seatbelt's undone,
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I'm in a better position to get out the car...
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Have you got any ID on you? No, mate.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Let's have a look.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03You're under arrest for dangerous driving,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06failure to stop for police... WHAT?!
0:31:06 > 0:31:08557XN... Dangerous... What do you...
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Get that camera... BLEEP out my face. Oi!
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Can I have a unit to Highfield View?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13What are you on about, "You're under arrest..."
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I've got a man arrested. For what? For what? Sorry?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Failing to stop, dangerous driving. Don't start squeezing my hand.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20No, because you're not going anywhere. What?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I didn't say I were going anywhere, did I? Did I try and go anywhere?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I'm not saying you have. Tell your evidence to this camera.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Do you understand that? Tell your evidence to the camera.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Do you understand? Do I... How do I understand that I'm under arrest?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Because I've just told you. For what?! Dangerous driving,
0:31:33 > 0:31:36disqualified driving, failure to stop for the police.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37On what?! On what?! Arm behind your back.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40I think he honestly thought that, A, I'd not been chasing him,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42or Lee and I had not been chasing him,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and he could bluff us and get away.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'm on Barlby Road with Highfield View.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Can you get me a van down here, please? 'Yeah, we're sorting it.'
0:31:51 > 0:31:53What's your evidence? I've told you.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55You're arresting me with no evidence. I've just told you,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58you're under arrest. Right? That's all you need to know.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I've told you why you've been arrested.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's all you need to know. All right?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05There is no other questions, is there? No. Right.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09With the runaway driver apprehended by Julian,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Lee missed his chance to do the honours and arrest the suspect.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14It would have been nice if I'd have got hold of him,
0:32:14 > 0:32:16having given it legs.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I was frustrated it wasn't me, obviously. HE LAUGHS
0:32:19 > 0:32:22But at the end of the day, he's in bracelets,
0:32:22 > 0:32:23and he's on his way to custody.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29In Scarborough, Mark visits the owner of the guesthouse
0:32:29 > 0:32:31who reported her property stolen.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36They'd actually booked in for three weeks and paid for two weeks,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38but they left on the eighth day. Right.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40So, left early, but obviously,
0:32:40 > 0:32:44with your property, unfortunately. Yes.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46The lady may have had her property returned,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49but after a detailed medical assessment,
0:32:49 > 0:32:53the police have decided not to pursue charges against the suspect.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56And Mark has to explain to the victim
0:32:56 > 0:32:58why no prosecution will follow for the theft.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01To be fair, they may not have even understood what they've done,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03do you know what I mean?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05It may be something that they've done,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07they don't realise that they've actually done it,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10and in his mind, the account he gave us may be
0:33:10 > 0:33:12exactly what he's thinking's taking place. You just...
0:33:12 > 0:33:14You don't know, and unfortunately,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I don't think we'll ever get to the bottom of it.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20It's just unfortunate that they've done something like that and...
0:33:20 > 0:33:23For nothing, really. For a TV and a blanket and a couple of pans. Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I mean, we can't justify what they've done or why they've done it.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30No. The plus for me, and the positive for me,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32is that they've done something wrong, we've caught them,
0:33:32 > 0:33:36we've got your property back, which is the main goal for us.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38'No two jobs we deal with are the same,
0:33:38 > 0:33:42'and you have to look at this and say, "What was the outcome?"'
0:33:42 > 0:33:46We've achieved what we wanted as the police for the victim,
0:33:46 > 0:33:50and I think we've also done more for the people involved in it as well.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01When they're not chasing criminals,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05the traffic cops' top priority is to investigate road accidents.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09In 2014, they dealt with more than 1,600 collisions,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13some of the highest crash statistics in the UK.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16It can fluctuate through the year. It can fluctuate on the weather,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18on how busy the roads are, obviously.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I probably deal with one a day,
0:34:21 > 0:34:22I would say, when I'm working, on average.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Some days, I can be unlucky and pick two or three up.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28And even though he's been a traffic cop for eight years,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31picking up the pieces isn't always plain sailing
0:34:31 > 0:34:34for former submariner Mark Mullins.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It can be quite upsetting, you know,
0:34:37 > 0:34:39and I'm getting quite on in my years now,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41and I think I've seen most things,
0:34:41 > 0:34:45but it can be quite distressing, dealing with death particularly.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49On the outskirts of Harrogate, it's 9.30am,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51and Mark and his sergeant, Paul Cording,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53have been to what called to what turns out to be
0:34:53 > 0:34:55a rather unusual smash.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04'Yes, 7-4 attending.'
0:35:07 > 0:35:09We were told it was a two vehicle road traffic collision.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10There was an injury.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14One of the vehicles was on The Stray, which is a large
0:35:14 > 0:35:17expanse of grassy area in the middle of Harrogate.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19It's over there. That one there.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21How'd it get up there?!
0:35:21 > 0:35:24We were surprised on the approach when we saw a car
0:35:24 > 0:35:26in the middle of The Stray.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28It was a good 150 metres off the road.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30It was like, "How's that got there?" Especially
0:35:30 > 0:35:32because it's a 30mph road.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34'36 at the RTC.'
0:35:36 > 0:35:37I'll tell you what,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40it's impressive. You are the only passenger? Yes.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I'll just get your details, all right?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Mark finds an injured taxi driver
0:35:44 > 0:35:47who has been carrying a fare to work.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Pulled straight out right in front of us.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Out of the side, out of its drive? Yes, this drive.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Which car, the one they're with? Yeah.
0:35:54 > 0:36:00Pulled straight out in front of us so, I don't know if he hit the car,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03I can't remember, there was a bang, but he swerved off.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05It happened really fast. He swerved, you see.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Missed two trees by centimetres
0:36:08 > 0:36:14and carried on, he couldn't stop because of the speed. OK.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Was he driving all right?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19He picks me up every morning, he's a really careful driver. Right.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23By swerving off the road, the taxi driver has clearly avoided
0:36:23 > 0:36:27a much more serious accident but at the expense of a neck injury.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Luckily, paramedics are on the scene.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I spoke to your passenger and she's told me what happened.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36OK? Are you all right to give me a specimen of breath on the machine?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Good deep breaths. You don't need to blow too hard,
0:36:39 > 0:36:41we appreciate you have a neck injury.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44It's quite sensitive. Good deep breath.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48All the people involved driving vehicles will be breath tested.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Police can request a specimen of breath and we do it routinely.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Lovely, thank you.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57The breath test is negative so the priority now is to get him
0:36:57 > 0:36:58to hospital.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Nothing we were particularly concerned about,
0:37:02 > 0:37:06but it's standard practice now when the neck or back is sore or
0:37:06 > 0:37:09hurting, that we will get him onto a board.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12With the taxi driver in the care of paramedics,
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Paul updates Mark on testimony from another witness.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19I got a first account from another witness who basically said
0:37:19 > 0:37:23this car was travelling at normal road speed toward the roundabout,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25he's been behind and this lady just pulled out.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Mark goes to speak to the lady driver who is alleged to have
0:37:29 > 0:37:31caused the accident.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33A few things we need to do.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35One, I need to breathalyse you, it's a requirement in the UK if
0:37:35 > 0:37:38you've been involved in a road traffic collision, I've got the
0:37:38 > 0:37:41power to request a breath sample, which I'm sure won't be an issue.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42It's nothing to panic about.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Are you all right to give me a specimen of breath? Yeah. OK.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Get a good seal around that, take a deep breath and a nice steady blow.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Keep going. Keep going, keep going. Lovely, thank you.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56That's zero as expected.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Do you have any questions for me now? No, but is he OK?
0:38:02 > 0:38:03He's fine, he's been chatting.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07It looks bad when he's on a stretcher but he'll be fine, I'm sure.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Tell him I'm sorry. I'll see him later.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I'm sure he knows it's not deliberate.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Don't lose any sleep about it, all right?
0:38:16 > 0:38:20It's a shock to the system and there is also reality, which she
0:38:20 > 0:38:22alluded to there, that she was at fault for it.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I think the lot together can be quite overwhelming.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Are you going to work today? I think so.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Yeah. I just need to drink some water, I'll be fine.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Have a cup of tea, that's what we do!
0:38:33 > 0:38:35The lady's mistake is a common statistic.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38One in three accidents happen within a mile of home.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41In her case, within ten metres.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I do believe this was my fault
0:38:43 > 0:38:45and this was my first accident that is my fault
0:38:45 > 0:38:49and I feel bad for the other driver. I am hoping that he's OK.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52It's always scary, it's always a shock,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I guess that's whey they call it accidents, they happen.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58I don't accept that it just happens, it's normally down to error,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01it's just unfortunate that it's happened to her.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03It's about keeping your wits about you
0:39:03 > 0:39:05because not every day is the same.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It might seem the same journey, but the people you share the road
0:39:07 > 0:39:11with will react differently to you as you will to them on a daily basis.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Concentration's all the time when you're driving.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15We all make mistakes.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19For the passenger from the taxi,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22the experience has come as a major shock.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26I was absolutely petrified because all I could see was the tree.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28We only missed it by...less than a foot.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I think God must have been shining down on us both.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I'll still carry on using the company, but yeah,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36I think I'll avoid them for a week - taxis!
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Mark decides to report the American lady for driving without due
0:39:41 > 0:39:43care and attention.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Despite the taxi driver's actions meaning the accident wasn't
0:39:46 > 0:39:50more serious, the incident has drawn the cops' attention to his car.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56We had a cursory look at both vehicles after the collision
0:39:56 > 0:39:57earlier.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00We thought the tyres on this vehicle, which is
0:40:00 > 0:40:02the innocent party, look a bit worn.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Mark, just to let you know your taxi fair is now ?56.20.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08HE LAUGHS
0:40:10 > 0:40:14We're going to photograph them, they are quite worn.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Legal limit being 1.6. You can see that is 1.08 so it is well under.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22I could see that he'll think that he is the innocent party in this.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24As a result of somebody pulling out in front of him,
0:40:24 > 0:40:28he's taken evasive action and is now being investigated by the police.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29However, he is driving a car on a road.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31He has got a fare-paying passenger on board.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33He is responsible for her safety
0:40:33 > 0:40:36and he's got tyres that are well below the legal limit.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39So he might feel a sense of injustice and in a way I can see
0:40:39 > 0:40:44where he's coming from, but unfortunately he's clearly breaking the law.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54With an area spanning 3,200 square miles,
0:40:54 > 0:40:58in North Yorkshire, police resources are often stretched.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01It's not just motoring offences that the traffic cops have to deal with.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09In Scarborough, it's lunchtime
0:41:09 > 0:41:12and TC Mark Gonnella is back on patrol.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15My primary role when I go out is to look at traffic,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17to deal with travelling criminals,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19issues that are on the road, however,
0:41:19 > 0:41:21you've always got to listen to the radio,
0:41:21 > 0:41:24and you've got to attend a member of the public wanting assistance.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36It's a report of a domestic disturbance.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41We'll back up if you just give us some directions in, please.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44It's not a typical traffic cop incident,
0:41:44 > 0:41:47but Mark is the nearest police officer to the location.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Give us the number again, was it number nine?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53'At that point in time I don't know why
0:41:53 > 0:41:55'he is trying to get into the house, is he trying to hurt'
0:41:55 > 0:41:58the occupant, is he trying to steal from the property?
0:41:59 > 0:42:04The lady who phoned in has reportedly taken refuge in a neighbour's house.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06HE KNOCKS
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Hello, did you call us? Are you all right?
0:42:13 > 0:42:17The lady tells Mark that the house she owns nearby was
0:42:17 > 0:42:21visited by her ex-boyfriend who kicked the back door in.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24We're not sure whether he's still in the property or
0:42:24 > 0:42:25whether he's left it.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30The last thing I want to do is go into a property by myself,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33and may be confronted by somebody who is violent.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36At least if there is two of you, you've got that advantage.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44All right. Hello, hello. DOGS BARK
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Alfie! Is that back gate shut?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Are they all right with us, are they? Erm...
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Liam! Oh, my God.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54All right. Just stay there a second.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Oh, my God. Liam, it's the police.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02Nobody deserves to be that frightened that they have got
0:43:02 > 0:43:06to actually leave their house and allow someone to be inside it,
0:43:06 > 0:43:07smashing it to bits.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11There is blood here, will that be yours or will this be the...?
0:43:11 > 0:43:12It's not mine, no.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16I haven't even done anything to him.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19Where are you? We're just making sure everything is all right.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22We can't find him anywhere. Do you want to come and sit?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Come and have a sit in here first.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27He's put the back door in, there is glass everywhere.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30It looks like absolute rage.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33It seems that a relationship breakdown sparked the incident.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37All I heard was bang, bang, bang, "Give me my stuff. Answer the door."
0:43:37 > 0:43:41I said, "I'm not opening the door. I'm not opening the door."
0:43:41 > 0:43:45Then I just heard the back door booting through
0:43:45 > 0:43:50so I shut that door and quickly went out the front.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52That's when you phoned us?
0:43:52 > 0:43:56I went to the old fella's next door and luckily he took me in.
0:43:56 > 0:43:57'She's clearly upset.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01'Do you expect your house to get trashed,
0:44:01 > 0:44:03'do you expect your telly to be broken? No.'
0:44:03 > 0:44:07She's done the right thing. She's got out, she's protected herself.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09You always think you can sort of change someone.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12SHE SNIFFS
0:44:18 > 0:44:22Julie, we're going to go and have a look for him, all right?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24He can't think that he can get away with it.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28We'll get your door sorted so that you are safe with
0:44:28 > 0:44:31the sense that we can lock that and we will go and find him. Right?
0:44:31 > 0:44:32We'll deal with him.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37I'll leave you with my friend who's just out here somewhere.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Part of me wants to stay with her and talk to her,
0:44:40 > 0:44:44but you know you have got to be in there and trying to find this guy.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47What other damage is he going to cause? Who else might he threaten?
0:44:49 > 0:44:53With the property secure and a the list of potential hiding places,
0:44:53 > 0:44:57it's now down to Mark to find the man and get him into custody.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Preventing injuries on and off the North Yorkshire's roads
0:45:07 > 0:45:09is all part of the traffic cop's role.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11And TCs like Lee Cobb
0:45:11 > 0:45:15are always on the lookout for motorists posing a threat to others.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17The sheer nature of the job we do, being a traffic cop,
0:45:17 > 0:45:19unfortunately, you'll stop people
0:45:19 > 0:45:21who don't want to have anything to do with the police,
0:45:21 > 0:45:23want to live their life how they want
0:45:23 > 0:45:27and don't really have any respect for rules and regulations.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30While patrolling the village of Sherburn-in-Elmet
0:45:30 > 0:45:32on the southern border of the county,
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Lee spots someone breaking the rules of the road.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Let's have a look at that. Take it round.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Just driving down Moor Lane, one of the roads in Sherburn.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Car coming towards me, chatting away on his mobile phone.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Pull up behind him at the traffic lights.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51He's just put it down by his right hand side as we've approached him.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53So now, he's going to do the old shuffle round
0:45:53 > 0:45:55and see what I'm doing scenario.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57So he doesn't think I've seen him.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Lee's not fooled by the man's antics.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02On his mobile phone and had no seatbelt on.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Over half a million people in the UK
0:46:04 > 0:46:06now have points on their licence
0:46:06 > 0:46:10after being caught driving whilst using a mobile phone.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12I think it's a just sign of the times.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15You see people walking down the street glued to their mobile phone,
0:46:15 > 0:46:17playing Candy Crush, or texting each other.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19It just seems like an obsession now.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21I've been a traffic cop now over six years.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23I've dealt with a couple of fatalities on the road
0:46:23 > 0:46:26which are a direct result of someone being on the phone.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28They're a nightmare. I want to speak to you.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31When you come past me, you're chatting on your mobile phone.
0:46:31 > 0:46:32Phone's down there.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I have been holding my ear because I've got ear infection.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37I'm not going to go down the lines of "I was holding my ear."
0:46:37 > 0:46:38You were on your mobile phone.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41The number of times I hear, "I was just scratching my ear."
0:46:41 > 0:46:44Have you got video evidence? Do you want to calm down?
0:46:44 > 0:46:47You're not going to tell me I was on my phone when I wasn't. All right.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50You were driving whilst using your mobile phone
0:46:50 > 0:46:52and you didn't have your seatbelt on.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55When you sat at the traffic lights, you were shuffling about putting it on.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57I had my seatbelt on all the time.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59I drive for a living. I can't afford to have points on my licence.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01You should know better then.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03I've never met the man. I've got no grudges against him.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I'm literally stopping him for what I've seen him doing. That's it.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09They are trying to discredit what you said and what you've seen.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Making you out to be a liar, basically. Which really annoys me.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15You were on your phone as you come past.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19You were still on your phone at the traffic lights. No. Sorry, mate. OK.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22You also decided to put your seatbelt on at the traffic lights.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25No. That's wrong. That's entirely up to you.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28I'm going to deal with you by means of a fixed penalty notice.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30You do realise this loses my job, don't you?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32You do realise you were on the phone.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35I am conscious when you're dealing with people
0:47:35 > 0:47:38that the nature of what I do does have an impact on their life
0:47:38 > 0:47:40and that could have a massive impact on their jobs.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42It's all things people need to think about,
0:47:42 > 0:47:45when they're driving, gassing away on their phone.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47You're trying to say that I've not had a seatbelt on.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51You're trying to say I was still on the phone when you were behind me, which I wasn't.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Right. I was getting sweets out of my pocket which you saw me eating.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56The phone is on the other side of the car.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Generally, if people want to rabbit on,
0:47:58 > 0:48:01they will ultimately drop themselves in it at some point.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03I'm sorry, there was no way I was on my phone at the traffic lights.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06At what point did you put the phone down then? All right, then.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Hold my hands up. When you went past me,
0:48:09 > 0:48:13I've seen the camera on the phone and I thought - wrong. My fault.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15But you're trying to say I was still on the phone at...
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Is that just to catch me out so I say, yes, I was on the phone? No.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21I don't use tactics to drag information out of people.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23I've told him what I've seen, as simple as that.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25I've already decided that he's going to get a ticket.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27He can deny it, put his hands up to it.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30That's his choice. He's going to get a ticket regardless.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33I've never been caught on my phone before.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35There you go. You've never been caught before.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38No. I've never been caught before because I don't normally do it.
0:48:38 > 0:48:43All right. That's yours. I think we're done then, aren't we? Right.
0:48:48 > 0:48:49What a load of tosh.
0:48:49 > 0:48:54One month later, the man paid his ?100 fine
0:48:54 > 0:48:56and received three points on his licence.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06Back in Scarborough, Mark Gonella is on the hunt for suspect
0:49:06 > 0:49:09who broke down the door of his ex-girlfriend's house.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12I've put out observations, so...
0:49:14 > 0:49:16..other officers are aware that we're looking for this guy
0:49:16 > 0:49:19and a description of what he's wearing.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21Now it's just trying to locate him.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26If you saw in the house, there's a fair bit of blood dotted around.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28So, I'm thinking,
0:49:28 > 0:49:30that he's most probably injured himself
0:49:30 > 0:49:32whilst causing that damage.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37So we've just got to make sure that he's not too badly hurt.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Mark believes he may be at a nearby address.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44It's possible that he's headed back to that address
0:49:44 > 0:49:47but we will just travel along the route
0:49:47 > 0:49:49that he would go back there,
0:49:49 > 0:49:53just in case he still around, if he's walking around.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59With extra backup still on the way, Mark goes in alone.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Some people don't want to get found.
0:50:01 > 0:50:05There's nothing to say that he's not going to go out the back window.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08That's the chance I've got to take.
0:50:08 > 0:50:09Hiya! Is Liam here?
0:50:09 > 0:50:13Mark's in luck. The suspect's at the address.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16Is he all right? Just put your hands out for us.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19I quickly got the opportunity to handcuff him.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23Now under arrest, the next challenge for Mark is taking the suspect in.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25You've got to reason to a degree.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28You've got to make him understand that he hasn't got a choice.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30He's going to be coming with me.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31It can either be the easy way,
0:50:31 > 0:50:35or it's going to be a difficult way where we're ending up fighting.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38851. Can you just make sure they make with a bit of haste.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40I always prefer the easy way.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Backup has arrived
0:50:42 > 0:50:45to help Mark escort the suspect safely to custody.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49What we'll do is just take you to the van.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52I'm just going to pat you down in the van,
0:50:52 > 0:50:55just to make sure you ain't got anything on you. All right?
0:50:55 > 0:50:57He was unpredictable. That was my worry.
0:50:57 > 0:51:03He was affected by, I think it was more drink than anything else.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05He was just that unpredictable person
0:51:05 > 0:51:09that you've just got to be that much more careful with.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13Don't manhandle me. Liam! Don't be stupid.
0:51:13 > 0:51:18Get in the van, come on. Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
0:51:18 > 0:51:21He's not been searched. MUFFLED INCOHERENT ARGUING
0:51:21 > 0:51:23Right, you're not going to do that, are you?
0:51:23 > 0:51:24You've been reasonable.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Liam, lift your legs up and get in there now.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30Just walk in there. He's got a lighter in his pocket.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Not that bit. Mind your head. Here!
0:51:32 > 0:51:35You've got a lighter in there which I'm not happy you having.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38I've got to search him, so I've got to be that close.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41You're putting yourself at risk, but you've got to do it.
0:51:41 > 0:51:45BLEEP off! No! Calm down. You've been all right with us.
0:51:45 > 0:51:46Don't be silly.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Don't give...
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Don't be stupid! Don't be BLEEP stupid?!
0:51:50 > 0:51:52STRUGGLING AND INCOHERENT PROTESTS
0:51:55 > 0:51:59What are you going to do? I want the lighter. BLEEP!
0:51:59 > 0:52:02I don't want someone trying to head-butt me.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04I come to work to do my day's work and go home.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06The last thing I want is to get injured.
0:52:06 > 0:52:10You've been spot-on Liam. Spot-on?!
0:52:10 > 0:52:13All right. I've took everything out, yes?
0:52:13 > 0:52:16You've just got to do your best to try and reduce
0:52:16 > 0:52:19any risk to me, my colleagues, and him.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23You all right? We've got him in the van.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25All right, Liam, thank you.
0:52:26 > 0:52:30With the suspect securely in the van and his lighter removed,
0:52:30 > 0:52:34Mark follows them back to the Scarborough station to book him in.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Just watch yourself with the door, mate. All right.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Nearly 350 people come through these doors every month.
0:52:46 > 0:52:47Just a domestic. OK, bud.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50We'll try and get it sorted out as quickly as we can. All right?
0:52:50 > 0:52:53I'm going to pull that off. You all right?
0:52:57 > 0:53:01How are we feeling today? Not too bad, like.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09He's just been up and down all the way through.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Mark is worried about the amount of alcohol
0:53:12 > 0:53:14the suspect may have consumed.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17How much have you had to drink today, Liam?
0:53:20 > 0:53:23A quarter?
0:53:26 > 0:53:28That's my decision to make and it depends on you,
0:53:28 > 0:53:32your behaviour, and how quickly you sober up. OK?
0:53:32 > 0:53:35If we think you're safe to get interviewed, that's what we'll do.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38I don't want to keep you here any longer than I should do. OK?
0:53:39 > 0:53:42Because of the suspect's unpredictable behaviour,
0:53:42 > 0:53:44the cops need to take every precaution.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48We have what's called safe suits.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Which is clothing that we can actually put him in
0:53:51 > 0:53:53and take his own clothing off.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57So we know that he's not going to be able to harm himself
0:53:57 > 0:53:59with his clothing.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00Come this way with us, Liam,
0:54:00 > 0:54:03and we'll take those cuffs off and we'll get your clothes sorted.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04All right?
0:54:04 > 0:54:08Hey? We need to take that coat and stuff off you. Don't we?
0:54:08 > 0:54:09'We're trying to reason to him
0:54:09 > 0:54:12'and say, "Look, we're going to have to take your clothing.'
0:54:12 > 0:54:15"We're going to give you this other clothing to wear.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18"We'd like you to help us with it."
0:54:18 > 0:54:21Do you want to just slip your T-shirt off for us?
0:54:21 > 0:54:22I'm not going in that.
0:54:22 > 0:54:26But you're... No chance! Well, like, don't....
0:54:28 > 0:54:32Hey? Unfortunately, Liam... BLEEP. Liam.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35I'm not BLEEP getting in that! Liam, calm down.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Liam, we need to take the clothes off you.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39You're not taking no clothes off me.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43We'll do it so you can take the top off and put the top on. No!
0:54:43 > 0:54:47No. There's no chance. Right! BLEEP.
0:54:47 > 0:54:51Liam, it's got to be done. No. It won't be done. It's got to be done.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54Well, make me do it. Come on.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57Come on, come on.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00Liam! Liam! Liam!
0:55:00 > 0:55:02It may look that we're being rough on him
0:55:02 > 0:55:05but we're doing what we're doing for his own safety.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08We're having to resort to some sort of violence towards him
