Definately!

It is quite re-assruing also...

Its mostly, one car vs' one car, and then, "Breaker" "We need back up" two vs' one, then "Do we need a third" these twenty car manned police cases, this is a deliriously bad criminal going on for what seems like hours.

Our 'department policy' allows only two cars and a supervisor car in 'hot' pursuit. There are times when other units shadow, but to be honest you don't need more than that in a pursuit. If one happens to go out of service, fine get another one in: but having the chases we all see on tv with 15+ units imo is silly and dangerous for 'most' (I am NOT saying all) situations. All you do is create a higher propensity of people getting hurt not to mention hurt the rest of the district by taking away cars that should be responding to other calls.



However, actual policy doesn't really have that much to do with how the cars are set up or who drives them. Also, if the videos on TV we colonials see with the driving habits of Brits, I'm not suprised it takes more than 10 weeks to learn how to drive over there

I always like it when they say "take him out Cletus" and then proceed to ram the suspects car and the good old spike strip drive by

Do you use "Stinger" hollow spike device?"

Before I worked for the government, I was with the San Diego Sheriff's Office. Our academy has in place instructions and -*test*-('")s on evasive driving manuevers to learn how to operate our cruisers at high speeds. I have been in a few chases before, but for the most part they tend to be switch backs from street to street in an effort to elude rather than full on flight.

I drive a suped up 2004 Ford Crown Victoria with the police package now, and I like to let her hum everynow and then.

Shake the dust off the enigne and brakes eh maly

Yeah well so I drive a 2.0 litre Astra turbo diesel that puts out 110BHP. So there

I got a nissan terrano. It has flashy lights on the roof and a bee baw noise maker

There so underpowered that when you turn the blue lights on doesn't the car spin round

I've got a ................................ Horse

I beleive they use something called stop sticks which weighs about a tenth of the weight of a stinger and is far easier to deploy as well.

How does that work? Is it the same principle as the stinger?

Same principle but its not so rigid

But stinger is good and solid aslo it rocks back and fort so alot of nails go in we trialed stop sticks for a while when i was in traffic corps. and we went back to the stinger didnt like stop stick
