Skip to 1:29 for the main convoy to pass by

It was me guys I didn’t pay my tv license again

I recall that when they switched from the Fiesta to Vauxhall Vectra, when I was working with Cumbria police in the early 2000s, they had an unmarked Vectra - complete with a single light bar and the word POLICE on the front doors. It was a strange sight, seeing it flying about.

All because the lady loves milk 🥛 tray

Ah I saw this convoy on 5th May this year coming from South Worcestershire, Evesham direction, thought that odd X5 with the stickers on the side looked familiar I got it on dash cam.

Ah interesting, I presume the convoy is going to the prison near Pebworth (HMP Long Lartin). I think the X5 with those stickers is normally an unmarked vehicle but has been temporarily converted into a marked vehicle for the convoy for some reason

@@blue.light.fazbear Thought i recognised those markings! West Mercia use those stickers on all their marked vehicles now - presume they can borrow them from a central resource as needed. It would be a Cat A from HMP Long Lartin to Worcester Crown Court, etc. (as this clip is). Interesting on the rural roads they stick one of the X5 escorts in right turn bays to prevent the Daily being rammed by a vehicle emerging from a side road.

Kettles on at the local police station, as a friend of mine used to say. Response to video only.

Unmarked at the rear had blue side repeaters so will have had the magnetic Police plates for extra identification

Very awesome! I think I was there that day. Someone in the Cafè there was telling me about it but I missed it!

All those plods for the few and appointments for the many. At times Westminster is a police village. Taxes well spent?

Thanks! It was a Very fortunate catch, I never really thought I’d get to see a prison convoy

That's 1st I've seen with the magnetic police sign on the X5

Yes, I think the vehicle with that sign was originally an unmarked but they required a marked unit but didn’t have any available so they put a police sign on it and a small light bar on the top which probably was removed after the convoy.

@@aquanick2001 The law says they only have to be in uniform, doesn't specify that they have to wear a high vis. Although, by Home Office or Force Guidelines, officers would be required to wear some form of high-vis when standing in a hazardous place with minimal protection, except when the situation fails to allow it. The first officer that got out of the vehicle was wearing a high vis and my guess is that they were planning on only having that one officer get out to direct traffic. But the officers in the vehicle decided it was best to direct traffic in multiple places due to the junction being very busy.

@@EastSussex999 now, are you actually a plod, or just a geek that knows far too much about things they don’t need to. Now like I said before directing traffic without a hiviz on……did I say it was illegal or against regulations? No I didn’t, I’m not interested in regulation’s, I was just pointing out that it’s not sensible.

@@aquanick2001 They did it quite sensibly. You imply that I'm sad or something for knowing too much, but really you are the sad one for sitting behind a screen criticizing everyone else, posting unnecessary comments of just pure disrespect on KZread videos designed to entertain people, ruining their entertainment. You obviously have nothing better to do than that so have a think, who would you rather be? Someone who "knows far too much" or somebody who is so run down in their own life that they have to try and spoil other peoples'. Show some appreciation and respect for a change because that's what people deserve. And, I'm neither. I'm actually a student doing a Level 3 Extended BTEC in Public/Protective Services, studying to be a police officer. So that is how I know about regulations and things, and funny enough they also teach us respect; something that you either lost somewhere down the line or just never had to begin with. Come back when you've grown up a bit.

Do u know who was being transported

I’m not sure of names, but I believe they are the perpetrators of an incident that happened in Blackpole outside the retain park where a police car was shot at while trying to stop a vehicle, and they then subsequently crashed into 2 other cars. They are on trial for charges relating to illegal possession of firearms and for attempted murder.
