Cop 'chase' programs

Do these programs anoy the hell out of anyone else or is it just me?

"Now, this criminal is no match for the police ..."

"This impatient driver tried to dive down the hard shoulder..." NO HE DIDNT, if you look closely to your own footage you useless bastard, you will see that he was driving maybe to close to the car in front, braked hard, steared onto the hard shoulder and then stopped! The guy is skidding before he hits the shoulder.

They constantly try to make out that EVERY move is wrong and "Should only be carried out by trained professionals" *Cough*Bollox

Some of them are maybe a little informative, but most are just American drivel about how 'great' there police force are.

The first couple of "Police! Stop!" video's were quite entertaining back in 1943, but it's been done to death now. I don't even bother watching them anymore, because if you've seen one, you've seen them all IMO.
Please tell the makers to find something new to do. Rolling Eyes

Just my opinion of course.

I could go on for ages about these.....

"This car thief isn't even using indicators"
"This car thief is so stupid he's using his indicators"

"Travelling at speeds in excess of X miles an hour on the wrong side of the road"
So it's dangerous for this driver to do it, but not the line of 6 cop cars following him then?

(American shows) "Travelling at 80mph on the freeway"
OMG! Obviously a psychopathic mass murderer then!

The best advice I've heard on there was from some 'mercan show...
"As the pursuit is proceeding into a highly populated area the officer made a judgement call to call off the chase because he deemed it to be too dangerous"
So if I wanna get away from the police I just endanger the public? Cheers mate.

The british shows don't tend to be quite so bad and at least don't show every clip 10 times at different speeds of slow motion.

Hi

There is some US ex sheriff who does some of the voice overs who is really annoying. Not surprised he is an ex sheriff if he is that unable to drive.

All the best

I was watching one last night (don't ask me why, cos I've no idea) - in one of the clips the cops wouldn't chase into the next city so if they'd of got inot the city they'd of got away with it. How stupid?

And in another one the narrator was saying how the driver didn't care who he hurt cos he almost ran into a cyclist. Except that you could quite plainly see the car braked and swerved to avoid the cyclist. Rolling Eyes

Every once in a while you'lsee some guy on a bike just haul ass & loose the cops but they usually don't show chases where the guy gets away. That happens quite a lot, done it at least 10 times meself, twice on the same road within a week.

And you think if Leeds police were chasing you they'd suddenly give up half way through if you happened to cross the force boundry?
