I think the reason TPAC isn’t done here in the US is because of the firearms risk. With open or concealed carry being legal in so many states (Texas now doesn’t even require a permit to purchase), there’s a good chance anyone you pull over will have a firearm in the car. Someone who’s failing to stop is even more likely to be armed. Pulling cop cars alongside and in front of the subject vehicle makes them just too easy a target for the suspect. I think that’s why the PIT maneuver has to be used instead.
That's exactly what I thought and there is also a lot more room on US roads, especially out in the sticks for the perpetrator to see ahead and carry out evasive manoeuvres.
@@TheFingerman37, well, from what I’ve seen, TPAC seems to rely on the element of surprise. So, theoretically, it could work over here. But yeah, if you’re on a quiet road and you see a line of four unmarked Chargers behind you... it’s a bit of a giveaway.
Until America sorts out their gun culture the crime rate and murders will continue to go up. Every stop can result in a gun being produced, not surprised US police are hyper vigilant all the time.
@@ListingViews I have watched quite a few of the pursuits in the US on the released Sheriffs dash cams and also the news footage from the helicopters, US roads tend to be a wider and the freeways have generally a large run off area that the perp has used to u turn or get onto other roads. In the UK, roads are a lot narrower, loads more obstacles and the major roads don't have that run off area, usually has trees planted for noise abatement or crash barriers, just look at the A650 bypassing Bingley as it heads towards Keighley. Full kudos to the police in whatever nation for doing what they do to stop and apprehend, very difficult task. As for the armed side of things, at least it is rare in the UK. It is frightening to watch the idiots who get pulled in the US and let rip on the officer, fully understand the US Law enforcement take on stopping vehicles.
Hi Ben I’m a new subscriber after seeing you on the happy hour podcast just want to say thank you for sharing your story, brought me to tears as I worry to the end of the earth about my daughters and to see what a police officer has to deal with long term shocked me. Nothing but respect and thanks for your service in keeping the world a safer place, keep up the TH-cam grind and hope you can collab with some other TH-cam content creators. All the best mate 👍
Loved this! Partly because it's always fun to do this sort of thing with an expert commentary... However, having just finished your book, it was an absolute joy to see the BP sense of humour I read about. I hope you're getting more days like this and less of the really dark ones. Stay well Ben
You should do a Movies vs Reality series, where you do different scenes from films. My recommendation would be the opening police chase scene from the first Transporter movie.
Great to see you laughing Ben. Been in a few wild rides and even beat an unmarked highway patrol car so bad that when we met up he wanted to know what I had under the hood. My favorite chases are Bullitt, The Seven Ups, and The French Connection. Oddly enough, while on my tour in the 90's, I ran into a gentleman just finishing up his tour from a conviction in the French Connection case, not the movie!
Great video as always. The Blues Brothers car chase.......now that's what i call having a Smashing time!!!! We had that happen at work once- not part of a police chase but driver error with an automatic car leading to it crashing through the front of the shop and into the wines and spirits department. Luckily no one was injured but you can imagine the jokes afterwards about smash and grab etc.
That JC Penney is in the abandoned Dixie Square mall on the southside of Chicago. Now torn down. It was specially lit up for the BB chase but had been abandoned before.
Hi Ben, loved the video today. I recently purchased your book and I'd honestly be lying if I said it didn't teach me a few things about police and how different people deal with PTSD. Keep up the amazing videos.
There was a prank going about a couple years ago where someone would call an insurance company and see how far through getting a quote they could get before the operator realised they were trying to insure the bat-mobile 😂
Back to the future and Blues Brothers mall are two different malls. BTTF is - Puente Hills Mall in San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles. Blues Brothers Mall is Dixie Square Mall in South Harvey, Illinois. (Now demolished). The mall was vacant for like 75% to 80% of the time it was built, and yes the film crew demolished shops during filming.
I remember being about 8 years old and up our local bing with my big cousins on their motocross bikes when the local police came into the middle of the bing in their 1985-ish Astra with the single blue light on the top and they started doing handbrake turns in it. I was scared at first then my cousin said "Don't worry, they're just up here to have a bit of fun like us!" 😂
Best pursuit... Has to be.... Traffic cops.... stolen Golf R... Best driver in Bradford.... I would love to see all the video footage from that chase....
Yes!! Someone who bigs up the Mk4 Astra! I used to have one an SXi 3 door with the 1.6 16V, yeah handbrake turns on them are fantastic haha good to see someone of your caliber vouch for that hahaha
"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."
Enjoyed the vid Ben, would've loved to see you stopping a drink driver and getting out the car wearing a Batman mask 😂😂😂, that would've got some amount of viewing figures 😀 xx
But Ben, your colleagues down in Essex had those cars, with "police interceptors" driving around in Evo's and Impreza's.... It was nicknamed "boy racers in uniform" :)
It was Humberside who got the very first Impreza as a pursuit car in the UK, for their Roads Crime Section back in the mid 90s. It was specially modified by ProDrive to handle better around tight narrow streets and allegedly take speed humps at 70mph?! It would run in tandem with a 3L Vauxhall Senator dog carrier. As a 15 year old watching them hurtle round the estates after "TWOCERS" it was like being on the set of an action movie lol
This shows When people have the lowest of lows And lost everything they love and are good at You can always change your path There is always a silver lining
I believe they still do to some extent, but that sort of thing is mainly reserved for armed forces and specialised branches such as personal protection officers.
I didnt know Penfold had a TH-cam channel .. I guess DangerMouse LLc had to make some cutbacks after the GFC and now the pandemic and the sidekick just had to go
Ben I live in Chicago where that scene was filmed this shopping center was called the Dixie Square Mall and it was out of business and vacant they got permission from the city to destroy it with their cars they set up the stores and then tore them down for the movie the mall has since been razed
Love the honesty would you have aborted in the blues brothers video? I think it would be quite fun actually of course with no civilians to drive through a shopping centre!
I have a few things to say about this, one Baby Driver is a very good movie, and worth the watch, secondly, have you ever been to america? LMAO. I used to live in a larger county in Michigan, called Oakland, and it was patrolled by the Oakland County Sheriff's Department and literally at any given time there where about 5-7 Cruisers sitting in the Tim Hortons parking lot waiting for something to happen, and if something did happen they all would show up xD We called 911 because our house almost burned down, and we got 4 cop cars, 2 ambulances and 2 firetrucks LMAO.
They do things in the movies because they're cool. The outcome of the chase, or that actions during the pursuits, are all to make the movie interesting and exciting. A lot these scenes we see today too are done using computer graphics and animation combined with real video shots, real vehicles, and lots of green-screens and post production manipulation. Now with that said, not all police pursuits are done as you said here in the US. These policies most likely vary between the various states. Where I live, police can't pursue anyone through busy locations at high rates of speed and have to abort their chases. They also have to limit the higher end of their speed to a certain point. Now, I live in a very highly populated region in New England, but things maybe a lot different elsewhere such as in the Midwest where there is a higher population of cows than people. A few years ago, there was a takedown done in front of my house. Yes, a takedown and I live on a quiet suburban street complete with a pond, deer and turkeys living in the woods behind me. The local police set up things so that one officer took position in a neighbor's driveway and on radio contact pulled out and rammed the pursuing vehicle at a high enough speed to not only disable the vehicle, but nearly knocked it over. We saw the unmarked police car race up my neighbor's drive, spin around quickly and get into position just minutes before the white SUV passed by with regular police vehicles behind.
I was a bad disco driver back In the day always getting chased jailed etc do use buzz of it like we do and why do sometimes they chase you for 2 seconds then the next chase is sheer madness ?
I spy with my little eye... Toys R' Us It depends on what Police department you are in and what the budget is and of course rank/seniority, but there are unmarked cars the police force has like dodge chargers, challengers, and some SUVs. States have different traffic laws, too. in my state they want you stay in the car and in another state they want you turn off your car and get out.

Blues Brothers was filmed in Dixie Square Mall, Illinois. Back To The Future's "Twin Pines" mall was really in Industry, California.
"if you turn your lights off we can still see you" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Batman getting insurance, "have you had any incidents or convictions in the last 5 years". Had me in stitches 🤣
I love these videos now, so glad you are providing everybody a alternative look into being a Police Interceptor. Keep up the hard work Ben! x
Always a pleasure Ben- thank you so much ... for then AND now.
You’ve got the best you tube channel at the moment, very entertaining 👍🏻

Your hair matches your outfit Ben. Was that on purpose ? 🤣 genius
Love that he'd just said about going to Specsavers and an ad for glasses started for me 😂
Great video mate! Been watching some of your other stuff too. Thoroughly enjoyed that one and now subscribed!
There was a prank going about a couple years ago where someone would call an insurance company and see how far through getting a quote they could get before the operator realised they were trying to insure the bat-mobile 😂
This cheered me up loads, Ben's personality is funny as fuck 😂
Definitely wanted a red Impreza after watching Baby Driver, still do tbh
Cheers MARA I'm grinning, lovely start to Friday night's TH-cam viewing.
They'd be wearing a "tall hat" in Bradford. If they were driving through a shopping centre.
That Subaru in Baby Driver had the front drive shafts removed, madness!!
Another great video Ben, your laugh is infectious, but it does remind me of Muttley from the wacky races!🤣
Heh. My other half says I laugh like Muttley 🤣
Low risk at this time, i repeat Low risk at this time... NOOOO..... You crack me up. lol.

Love reactions Ben hope doing well 👮🏻♂️
Has to be the original Italian Job hands down!
When he was talking about the tiles in shopping centres, he was going to say Arndale.😂
Smashed it with this, very well produced. Blues brothers is such a good film aswell
You’re not a load of geese! 😂😂😂
Ben, I reckon you could be a full time youtuber. You're fantastic
So good to see this fellow recognise that it's fiction and not fact! I've seen some very pretentious people who do not take this in't consideration.
Best pursuit... Has to be.... Traffic cops.... stolen Golf R... Best driver in Bradford.... I would love to see all the video footage from that chase....
That lad (best driver in bfd) is off the estate where I live and he’d only been taught how to drive a couple of months before 💨😯😯
You wont be 10 feet from his rear bumper........you will be 5! Ha ha brilliant ben ;)
Funny as ffff when he says people turn there lights out we can still see you!!!!
Would like to see a follow up to this including scenes from The Sweeny (ideally both the old TV and the more recent Guy Ritchie film).
Yes!! Someone who bigs up the Mk4 Astra! I used to have one an SXi 3 door with the 1.6 16V, yeah handbrake turns on them are fantastic haha good to see someone of your caliber vouch for that hahaha
"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."
Handbrake turns are a quick way of doing a 180° turn on a narrow road.
Enjoyed the vid Ben, would've loved to see you stopping a drink driver and getting out the car wearing a Batman mask 😂😂😂, that would've got some amount of viewing figures 😀 xx
the town square in back to the future is the same one in gremlins 😊
A proper Ben analysis 👍
In The Blues Brothers the pursuit after leaving the Palace Hotel ballroom into Chicago is a better car chase scene
This needs a part 2
When he said risk is low no civilians it had me dying with with laughter
1:43 you need make a video on that
Thanks Ben!
Another great video 👍👍💯💯
Batman - Blows his car up
Ben - you think he has insurance?
Love you’re stuff keep it up 💙
❤ you Ben .keep smiling 👍👍
Very good video. You are right about America. They will chase a car 25 miles or more with 25 cop cars, than work on getting in front to stop the car.
Funny nice to hear the laughs can’t wait to see more 😂😂😂😂😂

My grandad was a Illinois State Trooper, Blues Brothers was his favorite movie. Not sure what that says about him lol
In my city the police drive mainly Fords and Dodges. I thought it was like that in most non rural areas.
Do they teach Handbrake turns, J turns and controlling a slide in your training mate ???
