U cant drive I got away in a micra

[@richg1677]

Just imagine, there’s a possibility someone is watching this and thinking ‘’.......that was me!’’

[@krennie6782]

Then admits it on hear 😂😂

It was me lad was a good chase like lol

That golf buggy chase sounds like a great time :D

Should have an electric scooter in the boot for that shit 😂😂😂

[@joelfinlay4464]

I can imagine the feeling of when someone gets away it must be really heartbreaking

[@susananderson1071]

I think it would be maddening. But if they got away because the pursuit was called off of they realized the risk was too great, thst would be different.

[@joelfinlay4464]

@@susananderson1071 I completely agree but when you are actively pursuing someone and they make a turn an disappear must really kill your mood

Ive been waiting for “the ones that got away” they hardly ever show you on tv, but i bet it happens everyday

[@seanreil9754]

Hi Ben please can you do a video on the most violent criminal you’ve ever had to deal with obviously not telling his name due to data protection.

[@o.dcarroll8089]

Best thing about being from the area is that you can relate to all of these stories as Ben tells them in such detail. If only I’d looked outside my window and seen a John Deere gator come cruising by in a not so hot pursuit 😂

[@Steve-xs5hf]

I can just imagine cctv operators, ACR and everyone on the same airwave channel had a good laugh at this Ben. It's a bsrd when someone makes off and manages to out wit you, but as we all say in the job, they'll come again, and they always do ❤️ Got to give it to them, they certainly thought outside the box, on something as slow as one pmsl 😂😂😂 xx

[@connorjohnston3022]

I love it when you actually give the road names, so we can go on google earth and get a better idea of what you’re talking about 👍🏻

The golf cart is hilarious. A Fail to Stop is a Fail to Stop, regardless of speed ha!

As someone going through the police application process just now, this channel really is an eye opener! Hoping to join the traffic after my probation.

[@Simon-ui6db]

From someone who was on the wrong side of the law in my younger days, good luck with the process.

Couple lads in my home town got into a ridiculously long police chase when they stole a milk float

[@markmarkie1950]

@@BirthOfAnEmceeTV Were they charged for it?!!

[@BirthOfAnEmceeTV]

@@markmarkie1950 I'm 99% sure they were. Was all over the local papers at the time. This was in the mid 90's though so most still had a sense of humour as they were just trying to get home. I think the local dairy said something like "No real harm done" so they possibly needed up there doing a couple of shifts

Yet another great video. Cheers Ben. Got to feel for poor old Mrs Miggins though, she always seems to be in the thick of it.

[@danielmarshall4587]

Poor ol' Mrs Miggins .... sound like she could be in the running for a good slice of compo. Great vid and the references to the areas you worked REALLY HITS HOME. As always a big THANK YOU.

[@eviannemcveigh9305]

Hi Ben, thanks for the latest tale! Don't be so hard on yourself, the car that got away? As long as you and Christine are bobbing along nicely! Keep safe 💕

[@CorvusCoroneCanisLupusSawel]

If more police were as cool and as nice as Ben, more criminals would just hand themselves in 😂

[@karens4503]

Another great video Ben. The golf cart story was brilliant and very funny but i can imagine how frustrating it must be for you and colleagues when the drivers in the fast cars get away.

[@susananderson1071]

Thanks Ben. Its like you've lived more than the rest if us because of your career. Just glad you're safe and made the tough decision to retire for you. The golf car you described is called a gator in the US.

Always going to be ones that get away we aren't perfect! Good on you, you probably saved a few lives those days - whether it be an innocent life, the criminal or yourself. Not worth it, let then get away

[@EBellrally]

Thank you for the great vid

[@steffiraf]

I remember from my WYP days a TPAC from the ring road towards Otley. It was the slowest one ever, it involved a drink driver and a Massey Ferguson. From that day forward TPAC stood for Tractor Pursuit and Containment. We got it eventually but it raised a few smiles from those involved :D

You're just great mate I am very impressed with your attitude

[@YorkyFromFax]

That mrs miggins gets about Ben 🤣

[@MrWolfyWolfy]

Brilliant stories, as always. Keep ‘em coming 👍

[@benmarshall787]

Great to hear from you Ben and very honest. I wholeheartedly agree on the Straight line comment, there's a certain type of vehicle which flatters an idiots driving skills and you hit the nail on the head. As I said in a previous msg, the Government should pass a law that orders fast car manufacturers to make examples of their cars available to police forces, so you have an even playing field. Be careful, Best wishes, Ben 🚌🚍🏎️🏎️😇👍🇬🇧

[@daleohara95]

Would love to learn to drive like you guys, more out of pure interest and curiosity than anything else. Really enjoying all the content mate! 👍

[@danielmarshall4587]

Closest thing would be to contact the IAM(Institute of Advanced Motorists) they might be able to hook you up with a local group and take it from there.

[@danielmarshall4587]

@@daleohara95 The book Roadcraft, if it's still avaliable used to be in the driving section/highway code at WH Smiths. In fairness it's just paying attention to how you're driving and focusing on what you're doing. ANYHOW all the best ....just think of Mrs Miggins.

[@sph_holl2650]

I drive a 1.6 diesel Focus - its not the quickest thing, but its so easy to keep up with people in "fast" cars because they're so bad at navigating a roundabout or a bend... But of course I always drive with due care and attention, officer!

[@OldQueer]

Ben, do any of your pals drive like a learner doing their test when you're in the car with them? My grandfather used to be a traffic officer back in the 70s. I felt almost intimidated by how skilled he was in his prime. Drove like I was about to lose my license every time I gave him a lift.

[@kevinowensmith1572]

Again. Love the video mate

[@paulwatson9217]

Someone doing something wrongs need to get away will always be greater than your need to catch them. You have to consider every consequence of you actions the criminal on the other hand only has one goal to get away at any cost. It’s got nothing to do with better cars plans or equipment or training. It all comes down to who has the greatest needs even though it’s stacked in the police’s favour sometimes the criminals needs surpass all that.

[@EAD_0]

Love these stories ! Keep em coming. 👍

[@sloopycat1954]

Well said, who in their right mind would damage a 50k car to catch a 1k golfing buggy, it's not even worth contemplating.

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Just my own point of view, you might catch hell from the other officers but you get to go home. When I was taken down, no bail, my money disappeared, and I wound up with a 5 to 10, and 7 plus 3 to run overlapping. With plenty of time to think about how I might have gotten away, or killed. Keep up the great stories Ben.

[@atvseatexchange2176]

@@mozzjones6943 Not my point. After taken full responsibility for my actions and looking at all the damage it's done to everyone around me, a choice has to be made. Blame anything and everyone, or look for a new course to take into the future. Having to carry a weapon into the showers shows how quickly any thought of sympathy in life is something for a tv show. Bragging and stating facts seem to be the source of confusion and I'll let you sort that out.

To get away you have to drive really dangerous to get the pursuit called off and do what the police cant. It's not that there better drivers than police just willing to take more risks

Hi Ben, I learnt about so called "cake fines" in relation to police culture a while go; are they a real thing? Is it prevalent across various forces?

[@susananderson1071]

What is that?

[@nrjelley]

Yes, 'cake fines' are a real thing and they are VERY prevalent lol.

[@nrjelley]

@@susananderson1071 A 'cake fine' is where a police officer buys cakes for the rest of his/her shift after screwing something up. For example accidentally discharging your PAVA spray in the briefing room. There would be a kangaroo court with the rest of your colleagues and they will decide whether it is a 'fineable' offence. You would then have to buy cakes for the rest of the shift.
