Walker570 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 What a disgusting approach from a SERGEANT for gods sake. Simply tak to the driver in a sensible manner and issue an HORIT1 in my day anyway. Just shows the standard of person now employed in the service. Apparently about 50% of police officers are leaving the force. Sue him and the force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 He isn't really representative of the Police. I trust he will be held accountable for his actions, which don't reflect well on the Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobbyathome Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) well my opinion is yes the officer acted in an aggressive way and not professional but the driver acted in a cocky way that inflamed the situation and he was kind of baiting the officer to act like a t w a t if he would have just got out of the car said its my car i have no documents on me but i can hand in my documents to the nearest police station it might not have gone the way it did both parties need talking to and hopefully the officer will act in a better way but as the car driver has put up the video and asked at the end for support for payment at paypal for crimebodge i suspect he will bait the police for a living Edited January 11, 2023 by nobbyathome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) It was in 2020. Officer was the subject of management action, although I can't find what that action entailed. Edited January 11, 2023 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeydredd Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I think that officer needs re-training at the very least and probably retired at most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Twitter didn't like him, but it appears he had no action taken against him and is now an inspector, there is another video in the twitter feed where he issues someone a ticket for them using thier horn.

Wymondley Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 I couldn't watch it all, it was evident from the first few minutes how it was going to pan out. However poorly the policeman behaved, and clearly it wasn't very well, telling him to not touch the car and then gobbing off was always going to end badly. You Tube is awash with these idiots, baiting the police so they can film it and then complain at their treatment. I'm not defending the copper, but really, some people need to learn some manners and get a life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the trained police officer hands the motorist a 7 day producer and gets back to doing something that resembles actual policing. Give ‘em a clipboard and they think they’re Hitler. Not good. And the police wonder why no one likes them? Well, these days it’s a toss up between rainbow clad idiots nicking people for on line thought crimes, traffic nazi boy from the vid or those clowns that nicked the electrician who knocked the fleeing scumbags off a stolen motorbike, hey, I’ll take the rainbow ones please. Shame, there must be some good coppers out there nicking murderers and violent criminals - we just don’t see much of them these days.

Dave-G Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 The attitude test is a good rule of thumb in my opinion. I used to be cocky with plod for years in my youth and usually came off worse for it. As I matured I improved my attitude with them and have got away with small issues that could have resulted in fines and points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver knows this is not correct procedure for this kind of stop. The officer is not happy about this, so threatens to put the window out in the drivers face. Now, if this was the end of a high speed chase, or violent confrontation, then this would be justified, but again, not correct or proportional procedure. The officer is angry that the driver 'didn't do as he was told' yet issued no instructions to what the driver was to do? He reveals his frustration when he states 'Im going to nick you for something now' Then forcefully handcuffs the driver, for what? He wasn't happy with the cars colour, obstruction? The officer was incoherent, out of control, and highly aggressive when there was no need for it, but that's OK because the driver was 'cocky'? The driver knew the law, and when he asked the officer to articulate what he was being arrested/detained for, the officer decided to make up any old baseless rubbish to cover up his hurt ego. The officer should have been forced to take early retirement, but instead was promoted. I wonder how many other times he has acted unprofessionally, and outside of the law.

Mungler Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Racking the baton inside of 15 seconds talking to the bloke (who was on his own), for what, suspicion of an incorrectly registered car colour? Don’t forget, it’s tea and biscuits in Kent if you glue yourself to the road and imprison half the county in an 8 hour traffic jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 This reminds me of a friends encounter with the police. He was pulled over, and said to the officer ' what can I do for you mate ? ', the officer replied ' I' m no mate of yours '. So my friend said, ' well in that case can you stop leaning on my car ' . Got a speeding ticket.

oowee Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) This is unreal. Never have i encountered any thing like this attitude with UK police. He should be kicked out of the force. Edited January 12, 2023 by oowee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rem260 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Whilst I agree this Sgt overacted and was unprofessional. I think some people on here think modern policing is still like Dixon of Dock Green. Why anyone would want to be a police officer in this day and age is beyond me.
