  1. It's certainly an acquired taste, one which I don't really have either. The attractiveness of getting drunk has slowly decreased after working Friday and Saturday nights on city centre mobile patrol. Mine would be a peanut butter smoothie, absolutely delicious and really good for you!
  2. I'm not sure if you are allowed an individual choice of cuffs to use, however, if you are I would recommend the Hiatt Speedcuff as it provides an easy method of restraint with the rigid link should the suspect decide to resist arrest. Our counterparts in the UK to the role you aim to undertake are not allowed to carry restraining devices (hancuffs, legstraps, spithoods etc) so make sure it's legal for you to carry them.
  3. DD always links the cars in the description of his video. In this case: 'Mods: ► NYPD Ford CVPI https://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/457... ► NYPD Chevrolet Impala https://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/458...'
  4. It seems like it's already too late for that: 'Step one: The married father began his process by putting subdermal implants on his forehead'
  5. Indeed. That's really weird. I guarantee he'll regret that when he gets old and saggy.
  6. It's certainly possible to pick and choose your police forces from mods here on LCPDFR and on other modding sites. Just google something like: GTAIV british police cars - and there will be a good choice of cars.
  7. No. At least 23 people have been killed. I saw the video for this just a little while ago, it could have been a lot worse than what it was - the pilots managed to narrowly miss a block of flats. It's still both sad and shocking though.
  8. We do see an increase in suspected heart attack calls during the winter and snow, where the ambulances are unable to respond we can be sent to provide first aid care. I've never myself experienced a heart attack, I know of a few people who have been taken to hospital having suffered them, though. I imagine it's very painful. For you, it's more probably the pain in the left side which put you in to shock and caused some pain which you have related to a heart attack. If you do feel you've had one, call your non-emergency ambulance number and ask for advice, or get someone to drive you, or take a taxi/bus to a clinic or hospital - do not drive yourself. Hope you feel better soon
  9. I made a post with all my favourite movies with descriptions of why I loved them, but my internet cut out as I posted it Here is my simple version: Where Eagles Dare The Great escape Up (made me cry like a baby ) End of Watch The Riots in their own words - The Police (a documentary about the 2011 london riots available here:
  10. Nice outcome to the incident! Excuse the ignorant question, but what is the difference between a Marshal and an Officer?
  11. As a proportionate number, those kind of movements don't gain too much support. We do, however, have a party called the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) whose main aim is to leave Europe and place crippling restrictions on immigrants. Their membership sits at around 40 000 compared to our incumbent Conservative party who have 224 000 members (both 2014 figures). So no, they are not gaining any significant support, and that support which they do have, generally struggle to organise since there is such a melting pot of powerful views. One of the most extreme parties would be the English Defence League (EDL) who commonly rally and protest against immigrants - mainly the Muslim population - which often end up with intervention from whichever police service is tasked with controlling them. They struggle to maintain one focus and tend to be 'football hooligans' who want to go out and feel the mob mentality and have a bit of a scrap with the police. Generally it is the less affluent areas that are affected by a large influx of immigrants, this is purely because costs of houses are lower in areas that aren't filled with millionaires. Nottingham is a city that is quite well off, and won't have received the number of immigrants that somewhere like Bradford (Yorkshire) has, indeed Bradford is commonly Bradistan. So no, the situation I've described for my LPA won't be consistent, however, it will be existent in most cities in Britain.
  12. Most people only see the bad side of immigration - not through their own ignorance but because the media portrays immigrants in a certain light, which more often than not is negative. Chances are, for the UK at least, we wouldn't be so far out of the recession as we are now without immigration - it is vital for a country to keep a regular flow of both immigrants and migrants. Of course, the issue is, for those slightly 'better off' EU countries, they are receiving for more in, than are leaving the country, causing very icy relations between those two groups. Ultimately, immigration is vital to a developed countries economic well being. However, when cultures are mixed into countries that aren't used to having them social tensions increase massively, indeed, in the Thames Valley we've seen a massive increase in honour-based crime carried out mostly by Muslim residents - something we wouldn't have seen as much of at the start of my career almost 10 years ago.
  13. It will be on BBC 1. You can always watch it on BBC iPlayer.
  14. They truly do have the best job on earth. Getting paid to test cars and travel around the world with your best mates... that sure is the life. Huge fan of Top Gear, will definitely be watching this season!
  15. Incredibly professional response from the officer even after having been shot. If I was shot during a traffic stop I would most likely end up screaming bloody mary over the radio, completely unable to get a description of the suspect or where I was.
  16. If you're that immature to get offended by something someone has said on the internet about politics, then yes the section should be removed. If, like most of us, you're happy to have a discussion with someone to try and prove your point, then no, it should stay. Of course we should keep it. Political discussions are a fantastic way to enlighten others, even if you do offend someone along the way.
  17. This type of police work is carried out daily. The only reason the public is being made aware of these operations is because of the recent international interest in terrorist activity. Nonetheless, it is a relief to see police services getting good press for once - you would be surprised just how much of a morale booster it is for officers getting praised by the media, instead of scolded. Of course, terrorists being dispatched this way will always be good news, in my opinion. It's just a shame they were killed and not all arrested - there could have been a lot of intel gained from these blokes.
  18. These people are not Islamic. What they are doing is far the opposite way from Islam. Even the Islamic community has rejected these people as being frauds acting under the title of Extreme Islamic's to 'justify' their actions.
  19. While it may seem laughable, it must be taken seriously. Just recently our terrorist threat level was raised from substantial to severe meaning a terrorist attack is highly likely. I see this threat as an attempt by Qaeda to try and gain media headlines over the attack on Paris. Nevertheless, I believe our security services abroad will be able to highlight any possible attacks.
  20. My best wishes go out to the officers who were injured, if I could come and help the manhunt then believe me I would. These crimes are committed by cowardly individuals, it is important not so succumb to their vie for attention by doing these things.
  21. Certainly for UK police (and I only mean police, this doesn't include GCHQ etc) any personal information that can be seen through the PNC or force intranets can only be viewed when regarding an operation or the person is of relevance to you specifically - ie you work a beat where they are known to live. Any info that is looked at without this being the case will lead to immediate disciplinary hearings and can result in dismissal. I don't know about other countries, though.
  22. Surveillance will always be a necessary evil - vast amounts of intelligence comes from it. A few months ago the UK healthcare system - the NHS - announced it would keep information of patients on a scale it hadn't before. It outraged so many people, but at the end of the day it's only a positive move by them. I'm completely in favour of surveillance. It's important to keep in mind, you won't have such surveillance focus on you unless you're doing something illegal.
  23. Those Nissans (and similar vehicles) are used for when the weather's a bit... English with rain, snow and so on. Sounds like your dad was getting tired which is why he swerved when he took his eyes off the road. In future, I would suggest he asks the passenger (if there is one) to change radio station - it's not worth causing a crash just because you don't like the content on a station.
  24. Most armed units now carry all weapons on them, with their sub-machine guns in their vehicles kept within specially designed ballistic lock boxes. I do believe, however, that specialist equipment (marksman rifles, baton guns etc) are always kept at station armouries.
