Holding back the cars

Holding back the cars
Some serious episode apparently in train, these two pairs of police stopped for a swift confabulation - presumably to establish an approach rather than to discuss the day's dramas or plan a trip back to the station for a cuppa - before zooming off, lights ablaze and sirens ablare, leaving a street suddenly devoid of distraction, and a column of cars directly to their own devices.

Drive-by

Drive-by
Completely failed to capture the real meat of what was going on here, which was a couple of officers out of the car, questioning the driver they'd pulled out of the car they'd pulled over. They looked a bit jumpy though, so I didn't feel like pushing my luck. Still, nice colours.

Quo vadis?

… asked the two officers of this gentleman. Among a variety of other questions, no doubt.

Follow that taxi!

Follow that taxi!
I always wanted to shout that out. "STICK THE SIRENS ON! Take him alive." Go! Go! Hang on - what? He's parked up? Oh.

Stepping lightly

Stepping lightly
Sauntered up Midland road to the station to purchase me a post-prandial perambulatory caffeine slurp. Saw these chaps sauntering up ahead of me; sauntered up behind them, nonchalantly raised my lens and snapped 'em up; sauntered off again.
