Kirstie said:He was driving a red ford Ka, with 4 passengers in it. Upon being stopped both times the driver started to suggest the police were racist as they were all asians in the car. Don't know how much the presence of a film crew prompted that response... but the whole scenario wasn't particularly pleasant. In my view the whole programme was trying to say to people 'don't wind up the police', 'we're watching you', 'we'll catch you' etc. Having said that I wouldn't like that job...
Which all sounds very sensible to me.
Yeah, you have to wonder about effect of the film crew. That said, I would happily have locked the lad up for an hour or two until he changed his attitude. Apart from the issue of knowing when you've done wrong, it's not very bright to start arguing the toss and being lippy to a copper. The 'asian' thing was to me obviously a bit of posture, I don't think you could tell the guy was Asian from the back of his head, the view the copper had.
That other guy was a bit scary, the one who reckoned he'd been pulled three times a day for a week. I can see how that would be annoying, since he was perfectly well insured and all that, but again, screaming abuse at coppers really isn't the way to get going again quickly...
