Highway Patrol Australian TV Series

[K93George]

I found it quite interesting when I first saw it on TV and spent a little bit of time trying to find the episodes online which I have and would like to share with anyone interested. I also stumbled across The Force: Behind the Line and RBT which I don't like all that much but some might.

A channel on YouTube called AestheticUploads has heaps of these videos nicely organised in playlists as well. Here is the channel for any interested!

Has 30 Highway Patrol episodes so you'll be up pretty late watching them all.

Enjoy

There was a channel a while ago up like this. It got taken down for 'copyright infringement'. Hope this one stays up....

Cheers

[Angeldust]

cheers for that.

[stevz]

Thanks for that. There are a few episodes that I've missed so I'll be able to watch them now.

[05_ENFORCER]

Some sort of leak? The underneath was on fire as well and the drivers just chilling in the car with the hazards on -_- Probably waiting for the fire to go out XD

Don't forget it's a reality show and would be a heavily edited as ACA and others.

[Outbackjack]

These shows are put together to make the cops look like awsome great guys doing a really tough job. I know from personal experince that that is a load of **%^##@.

Those shows turn my stomach..... Just my 2c worth.

Well don't watch it. Bet the Police have a harder job than you

I dont watch these shows. I have just seen enough to know waht they are like. And yep, the cops have the worst job in the world. But I still dont feel sorry for them. And I am sure that I dont work harder than them either. But I earn much much more than even senior cops. I guess I am just smarter than them??

[XR6T0Y]

Trust me, you don't want to know my opinion on that topic. Id rather not be banned. That being said, I ain't saying no more

Ohh I dont know, I'd like a job where the customer is always wrong

[stevz]

Kudos to the police for doing a tough job and having to deal with the appalling attitudes of some people out there.

[Franco Cozzo]

They wouldn't show the ones where the people manage to get away and not be found afterwards I reckon.

I remember one but can't give you a specific episode, a guy driving a motorbike got away and they tried chasing up the plates but being false and no further information linking anyone to the bike meant they couldn't find him. It ends with asking for anyone who might know more information to contact Crime Stoppers.

[XR6T0Y]

Didn't they follow this up in another episode? Same bike, can't remember if same bloke though

As you can tell, no-one cares about your "personal experience", and I am sure all the Poice attention you got was ALL their fault - .
My father was a policeman for 39 years and I can tell you it is a **** job, it ****s with their families, their friends, most people hate them, they mostly only deal with the scum-bags of society.

Personally, I admire anyone who joins the force.

Move on, nothing more for you to see here

I watched the one where they chased this guy on a bike through Albert Park and he lost them, but they followed up his plates and went to his house and he got done.

The expressions on that Ash cops face when he was chasing him looked like he was enjoying it.

Yeah, don't think he was too happy when he got away though! At least they got him at his house.

[MattsDisturbed]

I find it interesting to watch that show. Its nice to see that there are some reasonable Highway Patrol officers out there, and that they do actually try to stamp out bad behaviour on our roads, not just target car enthusiasts.

[OffRoadFalcon]

Wow, I also find these interesting to watch!
Been looking for them every now and again!
Thanks

[Buntz]

dammit. Checked out the link to see if I'd be bothered, clicked the first episode thinking I'd see what it's about... and now I want to watch them all.

So thanks may be in order... but damn you at the same time.

I think the point of the show is to demonstrate that morons doing stupid things generally get caught.

I watch it sometimes purely because I like laughing at ****heads

Like the episode when the female officer pulled over an unregistered ricer, and the guy's brother came to pick him up in the sister's unregistered car.

[FPV414]

Was supposed to "star" in an episode about 2 years ago but never made it to TV. What happened would hve made a fairly good segment but alas they ended up not thinking so after strongly coercing me and my friends to gve permission for our identities to be shown. I guess they own the footage now and they could probably use it whenever they like.

I'm with outback jack on the issue. They look all nice and lovable in the tv show but I've seen what the bad ones are like many a time, which puts you off them. I've got a good mate who's a cop and know others, but my opinion won't change. I won't sit here and force my thoughts on others though.

[The Monty]

I love how every thread that even mentions a cop, starts off all good, and within half a page, its a cop bashing thread.


Thanks for the link, easy having them all on one channel like that.

[ratter]

We have to remember that cops are human just like us, we all have good days and we all have bad days, sometimes the bad days are brought on by ourselves sometimes by others and some of us can take more than others before they get pee'd off.

These shows highlight the type of idiots that the cops have to deal with on a regular basis, I'm sure if any of us were in similar situations on a regular basis that we would start to get short with some people

I believe there's a similar program created by the same producers called Territory Cops, found the first two episodes but not the rest.
