Brit Cops tonight

Anyone see it on Virgin 1? It follows the adventures of Powys police force. Had a section on combatting illegal offroaders up on the moorland, not sure of the exact location. they seemed to be using an unmarked defender and also a helicopter and caught five vehicles playing well off piste on open moorland. A couple of defenders got done straight away as one was stuck, a white disco legged it. There was also one idiot in a pickup Daihatsu that drove off before coming back "taunting" the cops by driving around and ripping the moorland to bits. They then brought the helicopter in and he gave up, a section 59 followed. The whole piece did nothing for the image of offroading or greenlaning, and what worries me is that to the casual observer who then goes walking next weekend and comes accross legitimate laners, will also tar them with the same brush. What can we do as individuals, or as a club to promote greenlaning as a whole I wonder. It seems we are forever getting bad press and its a shame we can't combat it with some propaganda of our own. off to bed feeling a bit low after that.

Just saw it on virgin1+1...

what a cock...

Tearing around on a flatish bit of moorland is pointless, destructive and bloody stupid.

Is that all he thinks his car is capable of!!

I would have loved to had taken him out cliff climbing in my old swb fourtrak, he would have sh*t himself.

Police should have crushed his car...
