The following video is from a ride-along police show on Dutch TV. In it you’ll see a “Dutch” culture enricher become somewhat out-of-sorts when his car gets towed away for being illegally parked.

Many thanks to C for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

Video transcript:

00:00 …a temporary bus stop. Some owners move their cars at just the last moment.

00:04 But as soon as it’s loaded onto, or attached to the towing truck, it’s too late.

00:08 This man objects. —If sir had paid 250 euro on the spot,

00:13 then we could have released the vehicle from the towing truck.

00:18 Those costs are of course not just a made-up number; the towing company has to show up; there’s a fee for the truck,

00:28 the labor costs of loading and unloading — that’s what the amount of €250 is based on.

00:33 The man refuses to accept his fate, and decides to take matters into his own hands.

00:38 I detach it myself! —You’re not detaching anything, or I’ll arrest you. OK, fine. Great!

00:48 Hey sir. no, no! —[in broken Dutch] Take it easy! [unintelligible] …of course not about paying the fine, not about you. —You won’t get fined, you’ll get the…

00:55 Don’t touch! You’re not allowed to touch me! —Yes I touch you, because you’re now…

01:00 You can’t touch me at all! — Yes I can. —That’s my car. —OK.

01:03 [?] police. —No, that’s not necessary yet. —You have to call police. You have to call police! —Then I’ll arrest you.

01:09 You won’t arrest me, you have no right! I did nothing wrong! —Yes you have.

01:13 I did nothing wrong. I’m standing here! I’m here! I’m here! I’m here! —This car is being towed and will now go.

01:19 Did the driver get in? —The driver is interfering. Hey! No!

01:24 This is my. I’m standing here! I’m standing here! That’s my car!

01:30 That’s my car!

01:31 Well, we tried to talk him out of the vehicle. But he completely refused to comply.

01:38 So, therefore, we arrested him.

01:42 [?] for no reason. I’m here, right? I explained it! I’m here [?] the others [owners] aren’t here! —I explained it to you.

01:48 Take those other cars who [whose owners] aren’t here. —Oh well, there’s no reasoning with you.

01:51 Don’t touch!

01:55 Don’t… —I’ll call police! You are…. —Listen, or we will use force!

02:01 Don’t. Listen for a moment! Listen for a moment! Listen! Listen! —Take the other side, Bo, other side.

02:05 What, other side!? You won’t arrest me!

02:11 Hey! Comply!

02:13 He resisted so forcefully, two drivers from the towing company stepped in to assist us.

02:18 Comply or we’ll use more force, do you understand!?

02:22 I’ll do it myself! I’ll do it myself! I do…

02:29 Upsadaisy!

02:31 I’ll do it myself, easy, easy! —Hands behind your back. Put your little hands behind your back! Thank you very much, sir.

02:39 There’s a good boy.

02:42 [dash]Is the van on its way? —I’ll ask.

02:46 Look [incomprehensible] for no reason, huh! —What did you say, sir? —For no reason! No reason! —No, there’s a reason.

02:51 [police woman, on radio] One arrest, I received no reaction, a transport van please. Over.

02:56 Sit and wait!

02:58 We had no transport van at our disposal, so we had to wait on it.

03:02 Sir became more and more, well, quarrelsome. Started to headbutt the window.

03:07 [muffled] Open it! Open it! —Cut it out! Cut it out!

03:12 [?] of this land [?] I will de-register [give up Dutch nationality]! But you are my target! —What!?

03:20 [muffled] Racist! Racist! —:Racist”, not that as well.

03:24 What’s that you’re saying to me? —I say you are racist! You are Hitler!

03:27 Ok. That’s great. —You are racist! You are racist! —Sure.

03:31 I use medicine, faggot! I use medicine! I use medicine! I am depressed!

03:37 [Arab swearing] You zemmel! [=homo]

03:41 I don’t appreciate it when you tell me you’ll kill me. —You are racist! You are racist! But you’ll see! You’ll see!

03:51 What will I see? —You will see because you are racist! You have to leave this job, I go to court! You have to GO!

03:57 You are dirty racist! You are racist! Racist! Hitler! Hitler! Racism! Racist! Racist! Racist!

04:07 Yes. We see such behavior more often, but never in this context.

04:12 I’ve never experienced such serious escalation before because a car had to be towed.

04:17 Law enforcer!? A dog, you are! [play on words] Not an enforcer!

04:21 Racist! Hitler! Racist, look an uglyface, look! Look!

04:25 Look an uglyface. Look how… look ugly… looks exactly like Hitler. You have to wear that little moustache!

04:31 After several minutes backup arrives. —More, more! Go call more police if you dare!

04:36 I kill you! —Yeah. You kill me, well, awesome.

04:39 Are they on their way? —Yes, they’re on their way, but… —[arrested driver] They’re on their way, yes!

04:42 Yes, it’s a drama.

04:45 Racism! Racist uglyface!

04:48 The transport arrives as well.

04:53 Hey, you are brother of Mustafa! Easy, easy, easy! —Grab him from the other side. Sit down.

05:00 I’ll sit down. You’re Mustafa’s brother, right? —No, no. —Look. I know you racist!

05:04 Racist! Racist! Look uglyface! Look! —Sir!

05:08 It’s really necessary for somebody to sit next to him, otherwise…

05:10 [Arabic swearing] I put you down!

05:12 You f***er! I put you down, faggot!

05:15 [?] I will de-register from this country [Netherlands] because of you!

05:18 Next Monday I’ll show you at city hall, I’ll be standing there [??], come!

05:21 [policewoman] I have no radio, my radio is busted.

05:23 Because of you! [Arabic swearing]

05:25 Sir has been brought before the assistant DA, and the Ministry of Justice will decide what will happen.
