In the UK the PIT manoeuvre is considered too dangerous because it can roll the car causing loss of life, the police here will only use it if all other options have been exhausted. I wish I could remember the name of the show so you can watch it, but I remember a show where a British officer went to the USA to work with the police and highlight the differences between them. The clip that I remember the most was a "routine traffic stop" when the officers approached the car the guy tried to drive off, the American cop went running back to the patrol car while the British cop jumped into the open window and grabbed the keys to stop the car. When it all wrapped up the American cop asked why the British officer did that because the guy could have had a gun, the British officer replied with a statement that sums up the difference. "It doesn't matter, it's my job is to put my life on the line to protect the public so I will do what is needed to keep the public safe." The American cop was dumbfounded at the idea of risking their own life to protect the public.

"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes" .... I believe the phrase is 'fuck around and find out' :P.

Morons like this should be made to pay for all damage to police cars, rather than the taxpayer footing the bill, or face a further year or two in jail.

I’d like to think he went to prison. But as an avid viewer of Police Interceptors, Traffic Cops, et al, he was probably given a few points (for a licence he doesn’t possess) disqualified from driving, (again for a licence he doesn’t possess) and a suspended prison sentence.

No disrespect to American police but British coppers are slightly more thoughtful about members of the public especially as the majority don't carry firearms. Plus as someone else said, you can't easily pit a front wheel drive vehicle.

Hi JT, Unfortunately in the UK if the driver is hurt in a police chase the police are blamed and are investigated themselves for dangerous driving. The police have to prove that their actions were to prevent harm to members of the public and the criminal themselves They are not allowed to use PIT unless it is a last resort and then have to ask permission from a senior officer. Yes it is a ludicrous situation.

British police don't routinely PIT, we don't really have the roads for it and the risk of injury is too great. Instead they work to box. It's worth watching one of these pursuits right through because the communications with control are really something. This was Derbyshire, the force I've had most dealings with, on the A38, a road I know really well that gives easy access from Brum (and beyond) up through Mansfield via Derby. Horrible road. I've just finished watching Sky Coppers on Channel 4, which is focused on the drone units of Birmingham/West Mids, so just down the A38 from this event. Very interesting and a look at how technology is being used nowadays.

It probably wasn't his BMW, and you don't need money to get out of "jail" here. You either get a court date, or get put on remand (held in prison until trial)

Former West Yorkshire Police traffic officer Ben Pearson has a KZfaq channel on which he has also reacted to this video. You might be interested to see his take on this video as he did this sort of thing for a living for 19 years so knows what he's talking about. Some of his videos might make interesting reactions for you too. Edit Link to Ben's reaction: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5pkdM1iqpqXlZs.htmlsi=CeV0GVa2Mzu9T5mS

TPAC (Tactical Pursuit and Containment) is standard operating procedure for UK Traffic Police which is what they tried to do at the beginning. Basically, it's boxing the car in, giving it no place to go. In this case, the rear Police car didn't stop close enough to the rear of the target, giving it enough leeway to reverse with enough speed to break the box (reversing fast and hard is a tactic most criminals have developed because the damage they can do to the engine of the boxing car is more likely to disable that Police car whereas damage to he rear of THEIR car more often than not leaves their car perfectly drivable). Similarly (and more difficult to judge), the front Police car left a little too much of a gap too, allowing the target to lock left and steer onto the grass (the open side of the box). It's easy to say this in retrospect, of course and 'no plan survives contact with the enemy' as my military colleagues say. PITTING is rare in the UK and only tends to happen on motorways where all the traffic is going in the same direction. An Officer at HQ will be in control of the pursuit and any tactic has to be a approved, which is why you often hear pursuing officers radioing sped, road conditions, volume of traffic, etc (and which is why Traffic cars tend to be double-crewed) and the Tactical Officer in control has the authority to call off the pursuit at ANY point if he/she deems the pursuit as too dangerous to the public, the Police and also to the criminal(!) This is particularly true where the vehicle being pursued is a motorbike. PITTING is regarded as more dangerous than TPAC so is use as a last resort and at low speed (usually only after the suspect has already displayed the intent to cause damage to the pursuing Police cars by ramming at least once), particularly in residential and country areas because UK roads don't have the luxury of being created in a grid system the way US roads are, and have grown 'organically' over centuries with all the twists, turns, narrowings that developed prior to the invention of the automobile. Plus, our pedestrians and houses are often closer to the road than in the US because our pavements are narrower, roads are narrower and 'road furniture' is sometimes excessive so there's more chance of the PITTED car hitting something very hard and immovable or, more importantly, an innocent member of the public. Basically this pursuit, while exciting for the viewer, was a total failure in terms of Police tactics and, I'm fairly sure, would have been analysed pretty damn closely by the relevant authorities after the fact and additional training firmly recommended.

They try to box in rather than pit. Pit is the very LAST resort.

The rear left wheel is buckled. That's why its drifting.

If it was the US, there’d be a chopper with a camera person while the car zips away on the highway.

Manchester has a slightly softer accent than Yorkshire but it can be difficult to separate them, we also say things like ‘we’re off t’shop, roun’t corner!’ .

Gavin and Stacey. British version. Guaranteed to laugh your socks off. We loved it over here

There's a lot to be said for arming police pursuit vehicles with a Bazooka.

These shows from England used to come on here in the states and i loved them, but i haven't seen them on lately.

On your PIT manoeuvre question - you saw what they do as a standard stop - a rolling surround of the suspect boxing him into the side of the road. Once he'd gone past that stage, I they did the PIT as soon as they'd ascertained that the suspect and the pursuing police were the only vehicles on the carriageway, and that they'd made it past a potential exit off the motorway (once, of course, that the suspect had shown his unwillingness to stop any other way). The other thing is that police vehicles in the UK don't have the bumpers like I've seen on NY city cop cars - they're just the normal saloon models, so this influences how much contact they want to put on another vehicle - they don't want to disable themselves out of the hunt.

Great video 👍 Simple fact 'you can't out run radio signal "

Hello Joel. My home city of Bradford always comes to mind when these are on TV.

also as in a post before, police do not pit, also, they dont just tpack or persue, everything has to be authorised, by supervisor in the station, also in this video, if you notice there is no traffic after the first t pack attempt, they have a rolling block behind, so the public are out of the way, they kept him on the mortorway, as long as they do that, they have plenty of time to bring this to a stop, as safe as possible

The police in the UK will refrain from pit maneuvers as much as possible because (especially at high speed) they can harm the criminal and officers in the UK try not to injure the criminal if they can help it, hence why boxing in is the chosen tactic. It also doesn't do any unnecessary property damage.

No cash bail in the UK, bail depends on the severity of the crime.

The police tend to avoid PIT maneuvers because they're unfortunately not very precise, and they're risky at high speed - it might roll the police car, it might roll the suspect car, it might cause one or the other to cross to the other carriageway and become a risk to oncoming traffic - or they might end up with the car rolling over into oncoming traffic. It's considered a last ditch thing to do. And of course it's expensive on the cars, since you then have to repair the police cars, and if the suspect car is stolen, the insurance can try to claim the repair costs off of the police for not exercising due care when stopping it.

just found your channel! love your reactions to things in the uk and not be pessimistic like us brits!!! p.s you have a really lovely smile 😁 keep up the good content! 😊

It would be challenging to outrun a British police car. A common patrol car in the UK is the BMW 530d. It has a top speed of almost 160 mph.

Luckily for the driver none of the police were armed with anything more powerful than a taser.

Re PIT maneuvers, remember we don't have bull bars on our vehicles.

The tweeting and use of batons will have created so much paperwork

Fantastic video 👍

we dont do pit manouvers in the UK, they do a TPAC manouver

Joel, the bad guy was TLR!! Have a great weekend, John

I used to be, in my youth, a car thief and could easily outdrive coppers 90% of the time as long as you stick to towns.

They could deploy a stinger, which will burst all the tyres at the same time

Love the way you guys just embrace how mad us brits are ..... got a sub from me 😊

Your cars have ram bars these ones don't, which might be one reason. They do tap cars, however, so not sure why it wasn't done this time.

They'd nail him in Arkansas for sure... chases go back and forth between the freeway and surface streets in California all the time.

They can’t pit in England depending on the traffic ( oncoming traffic was too busy when and before you was saying this )

As a general rule the old bill don't like damaging their cars. They avoid it if possible. Although BMW is considered a good cat the police are so heavy footed they have been blowing the engines a lot.

6:15 they were explaining that they didn't do a pit or box manoeuvre so that they could use their cars to block the exit of the motorway that would have taken him to the city. The motorway itself will not go into the city so safer to keep him on there and block the exit than try to take him out and lose him up the exit ramp.

We have real roads in GB with bends . Makes a much more exciting chase 🇬🇧

In america he would have been shot about 10 seconds In 😂

Hey buddy, Have a watch of police interceptors. Theres a fair few different forces. I would recommend Nottingham interceptors. Hope you're good.

We don't do pit maneuvers in the UK

Police took way to long to Pitt the car, they had several chances to stop it earlier without damaging all those police cars. Poor job from police other than catching him.

In uk that guy will have no insurance or driving license. Theyll get 12-18 month ban, maybe £250 fine and thats it. Me, id make them pay all costs for fixing the cars and send them down for min 5yrs. Uk has no deterrent

Scumbag was treated with kid gloves by those cops considering his actions.

The reason the car is swerving to stop the police over taking

What you will learn about the uk, is that if a car is running from the police, 9 times out of 10 it’s a BMW.

Just as Joel says `there`s no way....` this could happen in an American City the British Police prevent the BMW entering suburban streets. What`s up ?

now look joel, they have stopped him, he is still trying to get out, in america, how many of those cops would have opened fire, all of them to be honest, he would be dead, not a great outcome, yes he has done wrong, and desrves, the prison, he will get out, he may also have a family he has made bad choices in life, but he is still alive in the UK.

Another difference between UK and US police cars is that in the UK Bull bars (the contraption at the front of US cars ) are illegal in the UK for all cars. A PIT would be very difficult without them.

Have a good weekend Joel. Consider reacting to Shooting stars, Bottom and Little Britain

He's not trying to get away...he's trying to take out and damage as many police cars as he can. The police would rather not have expensive damage done.

The car is difficult to drive when one wheel is damaged.

We're too soft on morons like this. The damage they cause, potential threat to life and all that will happen is a few points on his licence, maybe a custodial sentence for a few months and then a slap on the wrist 😠 Makes me fume 😖

5:44 what is “pitt manoeuvre”? You mentioned it as if you’re assuming we know what that means

I believe the Pitt manoeuvre can't be used on front drive cars and as most in europe are front wheel drive there you have it and a TPAC manoeuvre is usually used successfully most of the time they use that but as below have mentioned I'm an avid fan of all these shows and most don't even go to prison for really bad infractions but the worse is watching someone get done for using a phone while driving and the fine them on the spot with auto points on and their in a Car with BLUETOOTH 😱 even a twenty dollar bluetooth handsfree sunshade does the same thing and they never mention any Bluetooth adapters which work out cheaper than a fine and points?????

Isn't a pit manouver an American thing, certainly haven't seen that used in Australia not sure I've seen that manouver used in the UK either.

6:55 they must have been listening to you

They didn’t pit because they need to be cautious about if the driver had a weapon and UK police aren’t as reckless as American police also it is most likely that the car would roll also the police car could be the one that rolls and pitting when the car is damaged could put everyone’s life in danger

Life, is the only thing we all have....

I need closure on this - what did he do that led him to flee police? But a good outcome nonetheless.

I had to google pit manoeuvre.

5:52 coz we’re not in America and we have a thought for other humans around us . We ain’t gung ho over here shipmate

Fascinating. Bet he nicked the car and high on something thought he was in Grand theft auto. Actually, he kinna was.😂lovely cr ruined. Thank Joel.😊

there is a big difference using a PITT with a Dodge Charger than with a VW Golf. The Golf would be totaled.

Round the corner from here, mi duck

Iv really hated it befor one time i went to someone's house and we went out and wen he was driving he put the window down and shouted this racist word and every other word and made me want to get out and run . i wasn't expecting it and mad

If the driver was under the age of 18 (or it could be 16), they won’t let you see them. If the driver was under age for us to see them, chances are the car was stolen. So I can’t see an allowance off mummy or daddy paying to get him/her their bail money.

When the BMW spun, in America the police would of been shooting through there windscreen at it. Killing everyone and everything moving case and caskets closed

The police do a great job but the court's are far too lenient

But look at the cost to damage to the police vehicles.

What does pit mean please. Thanks

The u.k don't put lives at risk like the Americans if they don't have to I have seen a video of a American cop doing the pit manoeuver and killing the the driver of the car it hit 😳

not so, police in usa some will not pit and enjoy a very long chase even going in to 3 counties, Arkansas State Police they love the chase they have so many chances to pit but they love the chase so they do not. not only going from one vid from that force lots chases its like they want to continue chase missing so many chances of a pit, or find non excuses not to just to continue chase

No he cnt just pay "bail" to get out we don't allow people to pay to get bail they go by the serverity of the crime weather you get bail or not and I don't pay for it

We try not to pit maunder as that can kill the driver..and the u.s are bringing in laws not to do it either

I sure it's drugs or guns when you get arrested in the UK bail from the police station is free

You can’t pay to get out of jail over here

The uk box cars in they tend to not put because 1 they don’t have a ram bar and 2 they don’t get u anywhere other than risking other ppls lives

Why do they always say everything 3 times. Last time in UK. Boyfriend n i encountered a police car parked empty along the street we began to laugh at it as it seemed like a joke just decals and lights " no cage no ram no barior " they couldn't catch a cold with this P. O. S lol". Unfortunately the cops were just coming out of the shop behind us we were ugly Americans that day 😔

There not aloud pit

Honestly I’ve watched police chases in the US where they wait ages before pulling any sort of stops out, shoot people for no reason, escalate things for no reasons and where they recklessly put members of the public at risk so… bit annoyed that you’re criticising our coppers

It’s a sad sight to see in todays times, when the driver of the BMW couldn’t give a monkeys about the safety of others because he only cares for himself. Driving high on cannabis and cocaine no doubt, while he’s lost sight of reality and the dangers he’s causing because he thinks it’s a computer game on Xbox called, Escape the cops or get busted! But when the driver is apprehended and sent to prison for a while, if that happens, perhaps he might recall what the police officer said to him, after they forcefully stopped his vehicle and change his ways. It’s a fools game what he’s playing because he will lose and pay the consequences for his actions. 7:45

Why continue to run when the back wheel is hanging off? This makes no sense, once something like that happens you might as well admit defeat and stop.

PIT manoeuvres are not considered a safe procedure and so are very rarely used. Over here they prefer a procedure called TPAC where they have a car on each side and slowly come to a stop

Bro looks like morgz

It's probably already been mentioned but there is no such thing as "British police" it's English and Welsh police. Scottish police are a separate entity.

Methinks you're laughing in the wrong place; the guy wasn't "showing off," he was deliberately weaving to prevent the the police deom getting in front again. \the proces for the police is called a "T-Pack," - one car get in front to slow the guy down, whhile the second car pulls alongside to stio the guy pulling out, Mormally there would be a third police car rhat completes the process by pulling in behind sp that there's nowhere for the guy to go. It's a highly risky maneouvre and takesa dome skill to match what the perp' does. Even with a flat tyre, weaving is the usual manner for these guys. If you had listened to the narrative instead of making your own ideas up, you would have understood. Ever heard of the term "Watch, Listen, Learn!" UK police always have to consider the general public, and the road they're on is a fast motorway, so they won't operate pit maneouvres that can easily go belly-up. If the guy takes a slip road into the town or village, the dangers are increased because of pedestrians, children, ladies with prams et, etc. The UK is nit the USA, and records show that these incidents rarely end up with ANYONE getting injured. Howvwer, you shake your head in a most derogatory way, suggesting that the police should behave in the way that you think - like you are some kind of expert. For a kid who can't use a single-button electric kettle, you're not half as smart as you like to think!

British police have rules and regulations to follow they have to have permission for a t-pac manoeuvre not like amaerican cops just do it and create a catastrophe and deal with the consequences later British cops have to deal.with all the health and safety side of it there's the criminal also.the public so there's alot the cops higher up take into consideration and they do watch the chases and debate what should be done it's stupid I know what you mean just get it stopped but hey that's why our country is so soft

Whilst not all BMW drivers here in the UK are selfish, arrogant and "entitled" pricks, a very large proportion of them are. Is it the same in the USA? 🤔

6:00 Here in Britain, there are better ways than wrecking the car, for that, we use the stinger! 😃 The PIT maneuver could've caused the car to accelerate into the other side of the carriageway and caused more issues or could've worst, rolled, so it was better not to, also the car probably wouldn't stop moving in this guy's desperation.

The police will only use the pit manoeuvre as a last resort, because of the danger to oncoming traffic and pedestrians on a normal road. They prefer to use what’s called tea pack which is a three car block

"League of gentlemen" is some fucked up, repugnant shit, joke though bruh, funny as fuck if you don't mind the nightmares lol.

You’re easily impressed if you’re impressed by the British Police. I much prefer the way US cops handle criminals..shoot first and ask questions later 😂

Usual suspect once again 😡🇬🇧

u look like bryce hall

Maybe a drug dealer.

OK pitting a car is dangerous but in this case they should have just rammed him into the ditch ASAP. I don't care if they risked the drivers life and killed him he had no concern for anyone else's life as long as the driver got killed and no innocent members of the public and the police officers it would have been a good result
