@@rebeccafionacornel6558 Yes we'll be careful! Thank you for your thoughts! We're always happy to speak to the police officers and let them know who we are and what we're doing, especially when they stop to ask! It's also useful so they can give us any advice or help us in anyway - for example one told us where to go to see these Land Rovers on general police duties, which was around the city centre nightlife! :)

As an NI expat, it's curious to see how things have both changed and yet stayed the same in the last 20-odd years. Got my driving license in 1991 so the Troubles were still very much ongoing. At that time all of the RUC Land Rovers were painted battleship grey, and you were likely to see them alongside Army Land Rovers. The drab grey didn't do much to make them blend in... They also had quite a few "regular" patrol cars in my area, which were typically plain red or blue, mid-sized and up Vauxhall, Ford or Rover with plain black steel wheels, very obvious thick bullet-proof glass all around, and the sort of stance a car will get when it has a bunch of heavy body armor embedded in the panelwork. As an...uh..."enthusiastic" young man with a car, I learned quickly to spot these "unmarked" cars from a mile away and slow down before I got a ticket! The high-visibility markings came in later, probably with the changeover to being the PSNI. Those Land Rovers took some serious abuse, wasn't uncommon to see footage of them being pelted with all kinds of projectiles and on fire, driving on through it like it was no big deal.

Was always weird growing up thinking these were normal police cars. You'd see them everywhere and think every country had them... Though, pretty cool vehicles when you look at them from the outside of NI in

[@rebeccafionacornel6558]

i totally agree with you on the "COOL" factor! yup they are really cool, and to be honest this is the first time that i am seeing these....plus i live in India and we don't see vehicles this at all.....

@@oscarosullivan4513 not meant to be a popular program for the public.

Awesome video! Unique vehicles for a unique security situation, I suppose

yup!

[@nitrainspotter7622]

unique would be incorrect you can see them on regular patrols in areas with high levels of paramilitary gangs on a hourly basis

[@aidandobbin1953]

I am from Belfast and I have to say, these jeeps are not personnel carriers, they are regular patrol vehicles that police in NI perform regular patrols with they're not just for disturbances and riots etc

[@CobraEmergency]

Mm yes that was my thinking! But on an official PSNI fleet list it has them marked as 'APCs'. I guess as they do carry a group of officers for riot control, as well as patrol and regular duties.

[@pingu255]

Although they only use them for regular patrols in the most dangerous areas

[@aidandobbin1953]

Not really. They use them for patrols everywhere they patrol using them in my neighbourhood and my neighbourhood is one of the most peaceful districts of Belfast

[@CobraEmergency]

It really is a case of just having them staffed and they'll move from area to area. They patrol the city centre a lot particularly just on nightlife.

[@aidandobbin1953]

More recently though, there have been more and more PSNI cars patrolling due to the NI Assembly Election and I have not seen one jeep only cars so they are definitely going out of fashion as NI gets safer

[@eoinpmc]

@3:51 must have been the bit where they came out and asked you why you were filming outside the station. Probably told you that you were a security threat. 😂

Hi. I was wondering when this was? Interesting seeing one respond, but late at night calls for interesting things. (I would be happy with a month if possible?)

[@Matt-Durham]

I can't believe the massive camera they've mounted to the Land Rover at 2:40, it looks ridiculous, it has lights built into it, thermal and night vision and IR lights too. You have a police helicopter in the sky with a bigger and better camera, is it really needed on the Land Rover? Plus the street also has an array of CCTV cameras.
