@@WisconsinCentralProductions no it isn't -if that is a fly tipping vehicle, then is every Ford F 150 and Toyota Utility on the road a fly tipper? This video was to send a message - and a fuxking poor message at that the message is Watford Borough Council are a bunch of court appointed thugs and this is them showing how tough they are, I bet they wouldn't have done this if it was one of the government's preferred ethnic minorities, like Asians or Roma. It is just a pity when Watford Council commit crimes we don't trash the councilors cars and those of the executives, that would be justice.

[@curlyjim2550]

You've got to be kidding. They just crushed at least £600 of headlight units and front end bright work, not to mention straight body panels, wheels, tyres, interior and possibly good running train to prove a point...? Strip the bastard of everything you can sell, make the vehicle economical to crush. This madness saw the first bite of the claw destroy £800 of windscreen, every part resold gets ploughed back into the local economy.

[@SCjunk]

Have you ever known a council do things properly or legally - just look at the state of the streets, most of the sh!t on the streets is down to councils not fly tippers. The worst example are council "tradesman" who repair social housing and leave the building waste in the street, because the "tradies" think they are above clearing up their own waste, and think they should leave it to a dedicated council waste operative, who invariably is on his perpetual sick day.

[@snoozinghipo]

Just auction it "as-is", you don't need to repair it before auctioning. These vehicles are used legitimately by society not just flytippers!

[@michaelough2324]

Absolutely crazy . To destroy perfectly good vehicles for no good reason.. the uk is full of childish jobworths

[@James-lq5zz]

Arden Tizzy I couldnt agree more, its all just to 'make the point' but means a perfectly good van is destroyed, when it should have been sold and the funds put back into council tax to pay for the clear up. Instead honest tax payers will once again foot the bill. Wasteful society we live in thats full of jobsworths. The mentality in the UK gets worse by the day.

[@ronnieg6358]

Agreed. Potential fly tippers can always buy another truck on the open market. They wouldn't necessarily buy this one! Why not break it for spares? The prat ,from the council saying that it would cost money to make it roadworthy then sell it as un roadworthy for repair.

[@leejames9500]

shut up . fly tipping is just another way of crapping this country,,,,

[@ronnieg6358]

You Don't get my point or that of the others. This in no way will stop or even discourage fly tipping. Confiscate it yes but scrapping it fulfills no useful purpose.

[@leejames9500]

i see your point, but i does send out a strong message, i would like to see these clowns who think it ok to tip rubbish where they want should be shamed. Put them in loud colour work wear labeled fly tippers then clean up their mess. This kind of action would be a wake up call do you agree ?

How about confiscating the vehicle, giving it a new registration and giving it to some charity that could really use it? On top of that they could inform the offender what they did with the vehicle? I also think that the fines for wilfully polluting the environment are way too low. Let's start at a £1000 fine for every pound of garbage they ditched.

[@ANDREWLEONARDSMITH]

You said at the beginning of the video that the first process is to de pollute the vehicle which includes removing the wheels & tyres. But instead THIS WAS NOT DONE & IT WAS CRUSHED WITH THE WHEELS STILL ON THE VEHICLE WHICH IS ILLEGAL & IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE WHY DID YOU ALLOW SUCH A SERIOUS BREACH OF PROCEDURE TO TAKE PLACE? IF THE AUTHORITIES FIND OUT THAT VEHICLES ARE BEING CRUSHED ILLEGALLY WITHOUT DEPOLLUTION WITH WHEELS STILL ON THE VEHICLE FMS COULD BE FACING A HEAVY FINE AS IT IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO REMOVE THE WHEELS FROM ALL VEHICLES BEFORE CRUSHING.
