This was very insightful and well-made, please do more!
Thank you! Working on some other ideas as I type!
hello doppler, i watch your videos
@TheDoubledoppler
Can you please unblock me on your main channel?
i knew i'd find you in the comments of this
Im signed up for this soon. Can't wait
Been lookng forward to this Brendan, ever since you mentioned it on your webinars! Hope we'll see more of these soon! Kind regards, Adam Kreissl.
Thanks Brendan. Informative , candid and compelling viewing.
Thank you!!
Compelling 😂 😅 haha
Would love to see a ride along with SO-19 Trojan units, now that would be sweeeeeet!!!
If you search on CZcams for "CO19 Frontline" you should be able to watch some great videos of camera teams on ride alongs with The Met's Trojan ARV units :-)
They don't do proper ridealongs for obvious reasons. They might do the odd one here and there for a TV channel but most of the time they're years old, generally speaking they don't do ridealongs full stop anymore as it's deemed too dangerous by the nature of the calls they are responding to.
Could you please do more of this!! Especially with vctf and vsu as they’re great or even officers on operation Venice + scorpion
please do more stuff relating to VCTF!
Respect!
This is as entertaining as watching paint dry 😂
It's a big dream for me to ride along with traffic cops one day.
It looks like you were riding along during the covid pandemic because the police officers were wearing rubber gloves and surgical masks? I'm surprised they let you ride with them tbh.
The issue with the VCTF was there were many inexperienced officers taken from the Safer Transport Command in the early days. This meant young inexperienced officers being given a lot of skills to do the job but they couldn't do it properly. Hence why it has been disbanded now.
The chat after the stop/search is to reduce the likelihood of complaints being made against the met. Lets call a spade a spade and not sugarcoat it sarge!
I see people stopped often and every time someone is young and black is stopped people get busy asking why have you stopped him etc and make situations unpredictable - Then you see Parents of young Black Children asking why don't the Police do anything to stop knife crime- Can't win either way.
And Tariq in the passenger seat is helping with navigation.
Tariq:
If you have trouble sleeping then watch this and listen to the coppers try to explain justice 😂 and I promise you will be asleep 😂 in seconds
Can you do one with St John fit team
Or Hart?
Yo hillingdon?!?
HART probably won't happen, as its way to dangerous. They allow ride alongs for other NHS staff but with a lott of background work for it
Loose the music!
“Nothing was found.” How many times have we heard that after a random stop and search?
@@matthewkub4838 that explains why the judge acquitted me of assault on police and said the stop and search was “random”. 🤷🏽♂️
@@matthewkub4838 report it to who?
@@matthewkub4838I got found not guilty in court and they still denied any wrongdoing
@@DM-fz4nlwhy don’t you stop assaulting people you dirk.
"Random" stop and search... no such thing by the nature of stop and search there needs to be grounds for a lawful search. A "Random" stop and search implies that an officer would just approach a completely random person and search them for the sake of doing so... there wouldn't be the opportunity to formulate grounds that are at least reasonable if this was the case.
For instance, an officer would be unreasonable in searching someone because they said "I'm searching you because you're wearing a white t-shirt and a baseball cap" if it was a completely "random" stop and search.
However, if they are responding to an incident of "male has robbed another person, suspect male described as 5'10 wearing a white t-shirt and baseball cap and upon arriving at the location they spot you with those items of clothing metres from the incident location then it's entirely reasonable for them to suspect you MAY be involved and therefore the officer MIGHT decide to search you on that basis. This isn't a "random" stop and search because there has to be some form of grounds for a legal search to occur.
The reality of the situation is that in major, ctime-ridden areas like Metropolitan London, the police do actually need increased levels of powers, to deal with the ever higher levels of violent crime perpetrated with loaded firearms and a profusion of knives. Knife crime is particularly prevalent.
Unfortunately, many among the police will abuse whatever level of authority they have and the predominantly (definitely racially profiled) black skin colour youthful males, will resist 'stop and search' proceedures upon every occasion it's experienced.
Members of the public will also increasingly intervene in whas t is seen as unfair tactics.
There is no trust in police officers.
Corruption is still wide-spread in 'The Met'
It permeates most levels of a police force with an over-all demoralised dis,- affection with the job and the community it is supposed to 'serve and protect' in general.
Near critical levels of collapse of the effectiveness of the police force, are absolutely evident.
Crime prevention needs to be highlighted and increased as a priority.
Bold suppression, by means of targeting suspected groups of individuals is the one facility that police have and some have the confidence to use, for some safety in the community.
😢 May God deliver us from evil and be our protecter from the criminals
are these passer byers thick, clearly pulled over for breaking the law
Lool only professional because they are being recorded
Should be called brainwashed Consultancy😂😂😂rather than blue light!!A proper boot licking view from where o am sitting 😳
😢Iniquity and sinfulness are the works of the devil the righteous shall inherit the earth
Dam every suspect was black! Smh
It’s Brixton... Everyone in Brixton is black... The U.K. is multicultural but there is segregation by area.
I guess the difference is do police, police other areas in this way?. They would argue they police by crime type. Brixton had a spate of knife crime. Perhaps comparing policing in Brixton to Glasgow (a white area with knife crime) would be more appropriate.
Why do people always have to get involved its none of your business so jog on
"If you's white, you’s alright"
"If he was brown, stick around"
"But as you's black, oh, brother, get back, get back, get back"…
I wonder why 🤔
They was only polite because the cameras were there
Need to lose the terrible music overlay !!
Thank you for the amazing feedback
Those tactics are helping, lol... Jeesus F Christ, go around to Parliament and DRAG those criminals out of their ivory towers and let's have a country that can actually work without sabotage...
Haven’t seen any white peeps get pulled over . How wonderful to see .
?
Wdym?
It's the vehicle that attracts the attention, not the driver. If it was white guy in the hire car it would still have been stopped if it had the same intel....
It's always amusing when people think that because "officers have stopped 3 black males" the next person they stop should be white. That defeats the point of stop and search and is then borderline unlawful, because you are not using grounds as such but just "stopping them because they are white" to appease other people, the point of a s&s is if sufficient grounds exist, not if they're black or white.
Flagged by ANPR. The officers don't always decide what vehicle to stop
@@jacksdjfam What makes you say that?
As a serving officer myself I always decide what vehicle I want to stop, or my colleague does if he's driving....
ANPR markers get put on the vehicle, they activate either a static camera or a mobile one mounted to a vehicle, the officers can view the alert and then decide whether to respond to it or not depending on the priority and the offence.
is this guy on something? They stopped a car because it was a hired car and some crap about gangs? NOT 1 person stopped had anything on them. When i have over 30 CAD numbers and no police assistance. This what there doing targeting young black males. Well you know what NWA said. I second that.
Shocking police tactics to say the least.
okay, first of all, police can stop a car for any reason. Secondly, they said hire cars have been used by gangs before so there is your intel. Thirdly, this VCTF unit was called as backup to assist other officers. We weren't told why the hire car caught their attention in the first place. You weren't involved and know nothing yet you feel the need to jump to conclusions. The whole point of a stop is to investigate, if nothing is found that's fine but it seems you think the Police NEED to find something to justify a stop? That's not how it works.
Confirmed. You're clueless. Nothing more needs to be said.
You're wrong actually "can stop a car for any reason"
The truth is police DON'T need a reason to stop a car. Look up Section 163 of the Road traffic act 1988. @@shizzyorleone09
only black youtes being pulled over in this episode yeah?
They're the ones causing all the trouble. Little scumbags
I wonder why 🤔
In the process of being disbanded
Maybe when this was recorded in this area. I'm serving in the Met and I can assure you VCTF are still very much a thing. Lots of stop and search and a lot of vehicle chases which usually result in finding typically a weapon or weapons, drugs, or a person wanted for a serious offence, often things like attempted murder, murder, GBH with intent, etc.
