When wrong’ uns decide that they do not want to stop for the police and end up thrashing through the streets like lunatics, then countless lives are put at considerable risk by the selfish and cowardly actions of these drivers who make off.
However, we now think that we have perhaps found the answer: a police tank!
If someone decided that they wanted to try and evade the police, then the tank could simply let off one salvo aimed squarely at the vehicle trying to get away and then it would be game over for the vehicle (and occupants).
Seeing cars driving the wrong way down a one way street or driving the wrong way around a roundabout as they try to outmaneuver the cops would be a thing of the past.
There would be no more intrusive investigations into the police officers involved in the pursuit and there would be no need to find non-existent cell space for the fleeing driver.
The officers in the tank would not have to worry too much about be rammed by the fleeing vehicle either and could even just drive over the car instead of firing a shot in order to save some much-needed money.
The thing is, the individuals who make off from the police do not care about their own safety and do not care about the safety of other road users. So why should we care about them?
So if they were ‘apprehended’ by a tank shell, then everyone would be a winner. problem solved.
We’ll make our suggestions to the Home Secretary and see whether or not he is up for the ‘challenge’.
We could even employ veterans to drive the tanks rather than having to try and train police drivers to drive and operate the massive vehicles.
Roads being blocked by inconsiderate parking would also be a thing of the past, as the police tank could just drive right over them.
We think that West Midlands Police should be the first to trial them.

Before you go...
We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.
One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.
We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!
As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.
And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
