I'm finding your posts hard to read so forgive me if I answer them incorrectly.

This is the M1 incident, it was a car attached to the regular unit and an RSU car involved. Hard to see exactly what happens to the car in it. This was a couple of days after the murder of Adrian Donohue.

I'm not sure what training the RSU have re hitting cars but the standard and advanced driving course don't cover it. The ERU have rammed vehicles before and they'd have a bigger range of weapons in their vehicles. The RSU vehicles have custom safes for their equipment too so would be fine in a collision.

I think He asked where they on a motorway system suggesting like the uk and having it on motorway at a fixed point.
The new legislation is suppose to suggest relations between both states have strengthened but criminals can get to a certain point on a stretch and gardai or psni have to turn around and call the relevant station to respond.

The hot pursuit legalisation will apparently be putting in for fixed anpr cameras that read the vechiles going passed that point being chased or followed or otherwise.
The legislation will also state that gards and psni will pursue across the border until the pursuit will be deemed safe to hand over. But approximately 30 miles is suggested to be the limit.

I know flash bang in particular would not suggest if they be made deemed suitable for a pursuit or not but i was putting in a category with which the RSU use on explosive but what i was saying was the armed unit is to fight gun criminals in the case or what happened recently but obviously common sense would say if a chase happened they would get involved like in a recent video on YouTube.
I will refer to that as it is the better example of what I'm trying to say.

There is only one unmarked trafffic corp unit in response to get away vechile and the xc70 assisted but did not execute any pursuit cancellation technique as they left that too that too traffic lads to do. (I suggest you watch the video if ive lost you at this point lol )
Which brings back to the my point that they cannot ram or hit a car pace unless deemed absolute.

When an xc70 or any armed unit is involved in a collision like a couple of years ago with a marked tranist in drogheda the occupients where thankfully ok in the end put if you find or manage to see the photo another armed was called upon straight away to remove and account for everything in the boot.
If ive lost I understand but i hope it explains my points.



I know they are well trained i know what they go through they are obviously trained jn all aspects of the job including pursuits with an over wieght vechile but theyre there for the purpose of an armed response not pursuing vehicles obviously if they are there when it is necessary they will do it until the relevant corp unit turns up basically like any other unit that specified skill set is in that area.

Very hard to tell. The Mondeo is the one that doubles back so could have been that.

I don't understand that Belgian Skoda. It looks like the driver won't be able to see out the window, plus you'll damage the window if you lift the bonnet to top up the washer fluid. It also makes the car very conspicuous. Why not put the kit on the roof?

Just watching the Easter parade on the box now, those new BMW motorbikes are really impressive looking machines.
