Rozzers nobbled by bollards

[CambCelt]

Ever wondered what would happen if those pop-up bollards hit your car? Well, this policeman found out¿ | Mail Online

Two dejected armed police officers stare blankly into space after smashing their £30,000 patrol car into an notorious set of rise-and-fall traffic bollards.

The officers were driving along a restricted road when the electronically operated bollards - designed to only let buses through - rose up under their unmarked BMW.

The front and underside of the 530i model was left a wreck after the accident on Market Street in Manchester

The male and female PC - both sporting body armour with guns in their holsters - had to wait two hours for a tow truck to take the vehicle away, an experience made all the more excruciating by laughing onlookers taking pictures with their mobile phones.

The embarrassed male officer slumped against the grey patrol car looking at the floor while his female colleague sat on the kerb of the pavement.

They want fucking ripping out those types of bollards. There should be a fail safe to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

Those things wouldn't have stopped Robocop.

[Earl]

Dead or alive, you're coming with me.
