Don't forget driving off during a police stop, illegally tinted windows (the police would argue they were unable to see inside the car), failing to stop for 17 minutes after a 50mph chase though country lanes (we've seen this on Police Stop) Then when he does finally stop after almost 20 minutes of being chased he whinges the police go in hard and smash his windows to stop him driving off. After he has driven off before from a police stop. I think the actions are justified. If he is so senile he doesn't recognize a police chase and puts it down to a "blues and twos" escort home he is seriously deluded > > WM > >

I think Brim is no more that a troll. I don't like the police any more than the next man, but this was justified to stop him causing more mayhem that he was so unaware of. |
