Politiet - Tango 38

Bravo 3-1 and Bravo Echo 2-0. This mission is armed.

A man has been spotted at Ullern.

He's carrying an axe in each hand, two axes in total.

We need to respond and find out what it is.

It's important to find him quickly. Worst-case scenario: use the pistol.

For the first time, a TV crew has been granted unique access

to the Oslo Police Department Tango.

Tango patrols the roads. They're quickly on the scene when needed.

Drugs...

Speed...

Violence...

Tango 3-8 is on the scene.

This is the police, Tango three eight.

Marius and Håvard have decided to pursue a truck

that seems suspect.

We noticed a truck that aroused our suspicion.

We're following it and we'll run the license plate.

We wanted to see if there's a motion for deregistration.

The truck's log shows that it's been involved in 35 misdemeanors.

The driver soon violates the traffic rules.

A child was about to enter the crosswalk, but the truck kept going.

Failure to yield to a pedestrian.

- He didn't stop for him. - Then let's stop him.

You can tell by the kid's face that he's scared.

The law clearly states that you must stop for pedestrians

intending to cross a crosswalk.

If you see a pedestrian starting to cross, you must stop.

Is he stopping in the middle of the hill as well?

I'll make him turn right at the light.

- Hey. - Hello.

Sorry, I saw the child coming.

There's a zero-tolerance, you have to stop for children crossing.

As they're parked in the middle of the road,

Marius tells the driver to turn right and make a better stop.

I think both you and I have encountered him in the past.

- He had a busted rear windshield. - Right, you remember him.

He claimed the truck was so heavy that he couldn't stop for the child.

If he's too heavy, we'll tow the car.

Sara and Erik follow a Land Rover going quite fast.

They want to check the speed of the car.

He's spotted us now.

The driver spotted the police car and slowed down.

We can have a little look, if nothing else.

She nodded and smiled. She probably got the message.

Erik and Sara are standing at Årvoll at the ramp to Highway 4

to keep an eye on the traffic.

- We can take him. - Yes.

It's not long before they spot a speeding van.

We decide to follow them and do an average speed reading

of the car.

He's lucky if he's under the limit for license seizure

Right.

The average speed came up to 84 kmph,

which is two kilometers away from losing his license in a 60 zone.

We choose to stop the car.

Hello. Perhaps you understand why we stopped you.

- No, not quite. - What's the speed limit here?

- Sixty? - Right. What was your speed?

About 60-70? How fast did I go then?

Very much faster. You're so far from getting your license revoked.

I'm sorry.

That's why you were stopped.

I won't protest.

You're lucky you get to keep your license.

I can't afford to lose my license.

The only option we can offer you now, is a speeding ticket.

I don't know how to pay that.

That's unfortunately the consequences today.

OK?

I can tell that he's getting upset.

He started crying and became very distressed.

- This is the last thing I needed. - I get that.

But at least it's better than losing your license.

- Yes. - I get that it's a lot of money.

He explained that he was struggling financially and had a lot of debt.

He was clearly very distressed, professionally and privately.

Just breathe a little bit, and I'll be right back.

My heart goes out to him, and I'm trying to put myself in his shoes.

At the same time, I explained that we must treat everyone equally.

Even if you're in that situation, we can't treat you any differently.

There's a driving ban on that car.

A search on the vehicle revealed that it was sold,

but it wasn't re-registered.

That means the new owner hasn't paid the registration fee.

It's expensive to re-register a car,

and some people skip that.

The car stays in our systems under a prohibition to use.

The car must be de-registered.

He can log into the Road Authority and see what's missing.

We had a similar case last week.

Before Sara breaks the bad news to the guy,

she gets him to accept the 9,000 NOK speeding ticket.

- You'll accept it? - Yes.

But I have more bad news.

You bought the car in January, is that correct? January 12th?

There's something called a prohibition of use on this car.

We're supposed to take the license plates as it's not re-registered.

You can get the opportunity to fix that now.

Yes.

Thank you for giving me some time.

Yes, dear. All good.

We're trying to find the best solution for everyone involved.

And the best solution for him was to get things sorted right here.

It's so unnecessary to incur extra expenses on top of that,

if you can't afford to pay so much. That's the last thing you need.

He's coming now.

- I've paid for it. - That's great.

He paid by his internet bank, so he was happy.

Thank you. I'm sorry about the driving.

I'm mostly thinking about you.

Try not to incur any unnecessary expenses.

The easiest way to avoid getting fines is to follow the speed limit.

He thanked us for being patient and kind to him,

and giving him a chance to sort things out.

- Goodbye, then. - Take care.

Good. He was happy with the police.

There's nothing better than that.

He claimed he was so heavy that he couldn't stop.

If he's too heavy, we'll have to tow the car.

At Bjerke, Marius and Håvard have stopped a truck that didn't yield

for a boy crossing a zebra crossing.

How much cargo are you carrying, if you're so heavy?

It's not that much, and my daughter's in the front of the car,

so I couldn't brake properly.

When he's in the crosswalk, and he has to stop because of you,

you must yield to him.

But I've got kids in the car.

I can see that, but that's no excuse.

If you can't stop safely, you're going too fast.

I wasn't going too fast, except when you were behind me.

Then you have to stop. You have to yield at the crosswalk.

He's a child, you must stop. It's as simple as that.

In this case, you're offered a fine by the police,

for violating the duty to yield to pedestrians.

The fine is 7,250 NOK. You'll also receive three points on your license.

He was far away.

No, he was in the crosswalk.

The distance between you two doesn't matter.

He's started crossing the road, and that's when you have to stop.

We're talking about a child.

The driver claimed the child was far away from the crosswalk,

and that there was no need to stop.

- Do you accept the fine? - That's not fair.

It's your responsibility.

But there was a big road there.

It doesn't matter. If he's waiting on the side of the road,

you still must yield for him.

But he got there quickly on the walkway. You saw him on his bike.

- No, he was walking with his bike. - He was walking beside his bike.

- We've stopped you before. - Yes, The National Theatre.

Then there was something about your driving as well.

There's a school nearby at that location.

We expect people to drive accordingly and to be considerate.

Holy cow.

We don't have a personal vendetta against you.

It's a lot of money, but it's a matter of a child's safety.

He was far away.

No, he wasn't.

I don't have time.

All right. Have a good day.

- He recognized us. - Yes, he remembered.

- He remembered where it was too. - Yes.

I've always been interested in traffic.

One of the main reasons I work here is because my dad did.

He trained with Audun.

I've grown up with my dad working here.

My twin brother graduated the Police University a few years after me.

It's hereditary for me.

I drive 40 minutes to get here.

I'm sure a lot of people would work in Drammen if they lived there.

I feel like I've found my place to work.

I'm usually excited to go to work.

Frode and Audun are in Bygdøy Alle, trying to stop a cyclist.

Illegal bike, just whizzing up the hill. We're alerting BKS.

We're passing through Bygdøy Alle, and we notice a bicycle delivery guy.

He's rushing up the hill without pedaling at all.

He's not pedaling at all, and he's still going up the hill.

We decide to stop him.

Hello!

Hello! You alright?

You need a light on your bike.

Lights? It's here, but it's not working.

Frode and Audun talk to a cyclist that might be riding illegally.

We noticed you're not pedaling.

It's a bicycle, but I'm using this.

You just use the button?

When you get tired, you can use it.

The rule is that you're supposed to pedal when you're riding a bike.

The motor and battery are supposed to help you go forward.

Yes.

When you sit and relax and press a button,

and the bike's running and you're not pedaling, it's considered a moped.

Do you have any ID?

Can I keep this bike?

No, you can't. We're going to confiscate it,

and we'll report you for driving an unregistered motor vehicle.

There's a regulation called "Requirement for Bike."

You can have an auxiliary motor that'll take you up to 6 kmph.

After that, you have to take over pedaling.

You can use the motor for assistance up to 25 kmph.
