Traffic Cops!. Is a show that really boils my piss. Shown as a “New series” on one channel then repeated eight times a day on catch up and crime channels. I hope North Yorkshire Police got repeat fees?.
“The traffic cops hunt criminals using cloned number plates”….”A man steals a car and leads Traffic Cops on a dangerous chase…” . FFS… That’s what they are paid to do!. Then we have “ALL NEW TRAFFIC COPS”… FFS!. How can someone do a job as expected when a camera crew follows you around?. It would appear that one or two people featuring on the show should of joined RADA rather than a Police force.
In my humble opinion fly on the wall on TV series encompasses The Sweeney and X-DEPT (GMP 1990’s) after that it’s hallowed ground. That was back in the day when coppering was like it should be. Forget about T-PAC’s, rolling roadblocks or proactive pursuits,we need coppers we get out and have a swing with villains like coppers back in the day did. I know what I’d rather watch!… Namby pamby T-PAC’s or a good swing in a disused factory!.
I’m all for law and order and I think we’ve gone soft on crime… But PLEASE can we stop the repeated showings of Coppers doing what they are paid to do (Or Not!) and let then get on with fighting crime?
Rant over.. Over and out. (Charlie Uniform November Tango Sierra – NA)
