I saw the whole of that program and I noticed that the people at the centre of evey incident that the police had to deal with in that particular episode were foreign nationals. I just wondered if the program editors intended to slant it that way or if it was just a coincedence.
There were a couple of the things the police had to deal with in that program that really got me mad, like firstly, the two illegal immigrants found wandering on the motorway who were released with a leaflet instructing them to make their way to the UKBA office at either Liverpool or Croydon.
In the second incident, they stopped a guy who pretended to be someone else and who didn't actually have a driving licence. This guy turned out to be a very long term tourist visa overstayer and was turned over to immigration.
The thing that made me really mad about that case is that when they summed up all of the incidents at the end of the program, they said that the UKBA refused to comment on whether he would be deported or not, which for some strange reason, I took to mean NO.
