How are you me old? How's Mick Please PM me about him.
While flying Police Heli in an unnamed county we followed a stolen car, which was being tailed by ground units, as it went into a pikey site. Gate closed, ground units stayed at the gate. We filmed pikeys decamp into a caravan, told the control room which caravan on the site. No action was taken, all coppers were called off, we were told to RTB.
Too dangerous/difficult for plod to enter the pikey site. It was definitely a no-go area. Stolen car owner would have had to claim insurance and Mr pikey would have moved it on when it all went quiet.
It would have taken a major operation with police armed to the teeth and with protective gear to be able to enter the pikey site. They've got rights. And there's Elf 'n' Safety to consider for Plod.
Bloody marvelous
