Bit of envy there Pug?Don?t all Sheriffs look like that?.
I like watching John (boy) Bunell although they all seem repeats. However when he gives his monologue, warning all us would be criminals that we can run but can?t hide from the worlds finest, he does so remind me of a series in the dim past.
Was it Broderick Crawford in Highway Patrol or the old Dragnet of the 50s/60s.
Whoever it was he used to give a similar little sermon on how would be criminals can be sure to have their collar felt by the forever vigilant, finest trained, never sleeping plod.
It certainly kept me on the straight and narrow ??.

Think he's a typical American....

Its the driving of the finest in their "powleece cruizers" that scares me. And boy talk about dog slow "he's doin over ninety control i need support" as if its a mach 3 cruise misile hauling away into the distance.

"This late model BMW sedan.............BANG CRASH!.........becomes a hood ornament on a semi(eye)..

...with reckless disregard for oncoming traffic this hopped-up hoodlum guns his engine and careens over the median...
Honestly, he's one of my favourite things on TV. He does a mean golf video too.

Well I hope you're happy with yourselves. How you could have blatent disregard for a man of the law such as the good John Bunell is beyond me! ;-)
The man is a legend. He really is. How could you be against someone who comes up with quotes like,
"This alcohol fuelled rampage has gone on for long enough...TOO long. Officer Bramwell T Backwater decides to put an end to this highly dangeous pursuit by ramming his high powered Police cruiser into the perp's vehicle. All 350 horses of it"
"This joyrider thought he was going to have a swell ride... but all he got was a short ride in the back of a cruiser to jail"
and
"Suspects out of control, out of options... OUT OF THEIR MIND! These punks have just bought themselves a one-way ticket... STRAIGHT TO THE STATE PENITENTIARY!"
You can't write stuff like that. You really can't.

Oh, and I actually bought myself a PSOne simply so I could play "Worlds Wildest Police Videos" on it with the 27 years of police experience doing the commentary. It's not a bad game at all.
Scrambles for a UK motoring link - that chap who did the British police camera action but was nicked for drink driving(?) is doing a tour at the moment and I saw he was playing our local theatre. Will have to keep off the roads while he's about...

Oh yes. Good old Alistair Stewart.
Anyway - back to more pressing matters.
Whenever you are in a high-speed chase, it is going to be dangerous. But when you are involved in a high speed chase going 100 MPH down the wrong way of the highway, then it is really dangerous.
Thanks for the tip John Could have been a nasty accident there!
He's an educated man as well!
This man fights the law and the law wins - THE LAW OF GRAVITY.
Oh come on. Without these, it'd be boring!

"You can't write stuff like that. You really can't."
That'll be the scriptwriter then Adam.

No! Take it back RF! Why do you say hurtful things? John's sitting at the t.v. watching these chases for the first time!
He's that spontaneous!

"These joyriders are risking the lives of themselves and others as they reach speeds in excess of 55mph"
Quite.

When they show drunk drivers on these US cop shows they always spend about tweny minutes getting them to stand on one leg, repeat the alphbet and all the nonsense that went out here decades ago. Don't they use brethalisers over there?
|
|
They do indeed use breathalysers. I think they just like seeing people perched on one leg.
|
|
I hate that they dub the crash noises and screeching tyres on afterwards. You can hear glass tinkling from 200 metres up in a helicopter.
|
|
And that bloke in the helicopter! he gets around. He is the eye in the sky news anchor in every state at any time of the day or night.

John Bunnell has found himself a neat niche job and I don't blame him.
As for the "eye in the sky news anchor in every state at any time of the day or night", most US TV and radio news channels have their own helicopters whose operators quickly clue up on major incidents using scanners to pick up police and other public service transmissions.
However, this might change in the future as many forces have switched to digital transmissions just as in the UK.
You cannot pick up many such US transmissions using the Internet now as you used to be able to in the past.

Maybe, but he must have a scanner that works in the future to get there on time as it is the *same* voiceover - ie the same person every time, any state any time.
It was humour stuart.

"Don't they use brethalisers over there?"
Sure they do, but the video evidence of a stumbling drunk who can't count to 10 can be more effective in a courtroom than the reading on a breathalyzer that can be attacked/discredited by a well paid lawyer. I have also heard it said that the field tests are used to delay the breathalyzer so the alcohol will have more time to be absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore give a higher reading.
John Bunnell is a "suit" sheriff, he never wore a uniform while he was still active and probably spent most of his time on city council board meetings trying to increase his salary/pension. Long before he got this gig, the TV show "Cops" was filming in his department and it was painfully obvious that he wasn't really clued in on what his officers in the field were doing yet he always found a way to get in front of the cameras so he could tell his deputies to "be careful". His attention seeking certainly paid off. I bet they were all glad to see the back of him.

Imagine him as your next door neighbour?
"THe lawnmower heads down to the garden shed at rip-roaring speeds of 2mph. Sooner or later, someone will get hurt....
...SOONER IT IS. In the reckless drive down the garden, the Flymo loses is and careens over 3 potplants whilst coming to land on a garden gnome. He was high on a cocktail of grass and 2 stroke fumes but the only fumes he'll be smelling tonight are the fumes of the cafeteria.....THE PRISON CAFETERIA!!"
