Video transcript:

00:04 We’re riding with police, Middle and West Brabant area, close to Breda, on highway A16.

00:09 Officers Mark and Remco are following a Mercedes.

00:12 I’m doing a reading. it’s 167 [km/h].

00:20 167

00:23 If he keeps going like this in the [upcoming] 100 zone, he’ll lose his license.

00:26 Second reading. The second reading is taken in the 100 [km/h] zone,

00:29 but the Mercedes driver does not slow down.

00:32 Make a print, so I can close in.

00:37 164. — Or I may lose him.

00:42 I think we’re taking the next exit?

00:47 “Follow” [light] is on.

00:50 We recorded your speed on the A16, we noticed you were speeding

00:56 We took several readings; one indicated an average speed of 164 km/h.

01:00 and you were getting away from us. We deduct a margin.

01:04 Did I drive that fast? —Yes, you drove that fast. We have footage;

01:08 you can come watch it in the car.

01:11 I really had no idea. —OK. —I have visitors from Turkey, that’s why. I brought them here

01:16 from Brussels. I’m talking to them. I really was not aware. —OK.

01:21 Can you show me your driver’s license?

01:27 I’d like to invite you to come watch the footage in our car.

01:33 I believe you. —Yes, but you’ll be able to see, and it’ll be easier to have a conversation.

01:37 Good day. Mark Daamen.

01:40 That’s you. And this is our speed, which is calibrated.

01:44 And you’re driving the same speed, because the distance is constant.

01:49 I don’t believe I drove that fast. —Well, you can see it. The speed limit is 100.

01:55 and we found an average speed of, over a long stretch of road, of 164.

02:00 so 59 over the limit, that’s what the fine is for.

02:04 And the license will be revoked. —You’re taking my license?

02:07 Yes, because you’re more than 50 over the limit.

02:10 Mr. officer, that will cost me a lot of money. and a lot of misery. —Yes.

02:17 Have you gone crazy or what? —Well, you chose to drive that speed.

02:20 I don’t drive that fast [mumble] you’ve gone crazy.

02:23 OK, it’ll be more convenient for me if you step inside the car again.

02:27 We have to take care of some paperwork. I have to hand you a form, and it’ll be easier

02:31 to have a conversation. —You’re taking away my license? —Indeed, your license is revoked.

02:35 Because of your speed. This means you’re not allowed to drive from this moment on.

02:41 Have you gone crazy, goddammit!? —Don’t get mad at me.

02:44 Why not get angry, goddammit!? You’re totally crazy!

02:47 A Turk drives an S-class [Mercedes], and you’re taking over my license!

02:50 You [Dutch] are a c***ing people! I have to leave this c***ing country! —Yes.

02:54 [mumble] goddammit!

02:57 [in Turkish] I’ve had it with you people! You can all go to hell!

03:01 [in Turkish, to his wife] Those d**kheads are taking away my license.

03:04 Sir, I can imagine it’s inconvenient for you, but we can’t change anything about this situation.

03:07 You chose to step on the gas. —That’s not true at all!

03:12 That’s not true at all! You’re just full of s**t!

03:16 You measure from there not my speed, your own speed! —That’s correct.

03:19 Your own speed! But how do you know that I drove so fast. I’ve never driven 170!

03:24 It’s not true at all, absolutely not true! You’re liars! You’re liars!

03:28 Yes! You are liars! You see a Turk with an S-class,

03:32 and then you do this. It happens often! Never in my life will I drive a big fat car.

03:37 I won’t let you insult me. —You can do what you want! — I’ll do the paperwork now.

03:42 and then I think we’re done, because I won’t be insulted by you.

03:45 [in Turkish] Stop it, woman. These d**kheads are taking away my license.

03:49 These a**holes are taking away my license.

03:54 You bring me all the way here, goddammit, just for that!? Why not there

03:58 at the petrol station!? —Because we… —Because you’re a very crazy guy!

04:02 Because we were looking for a safe spot. —Get out of here! —You don’t want to hear it, right?

04:06 Get out of here! Cut it out with that camera, goddammit. Or I beat you up, idiot!

04:09 Listen, let me make one thing very clear. —Don’t touch! Don’t touch!

04:14 I don’t touch you, you don’t touch me! You talk, I listen! Keep your distance!

04:18 Be civil with me. —I am civil! Did you ever lose your license!? —Calm down.

04:22 —This will cost me a lot of money! A lot of misery! Can’t I get angry in peace?!

04:26 I will now explain how you can get your license back.

04:29 [in Turkish] Give me some water. I’m mad. Just give some water.

04:32 It won’t help you if you act like… [in Turkish] These a**holes.

04:35 [Woman, in Turkish] That camera, that’s not necessary.

04:38 Can we still have a civil conversation, or is that out of the question now?

04:41 You have my license don’t you? Write what you want! [Woman speaks] —I’m dealing with the driver.

04:46 I’m dealing with the driver. I have no business with you, I’m dealing with the driver.

04:49 I have to leave this c***ing country. I have no business in the Netherlands. I have to LEAVE!

04:53 What is your address sir? [sigh]

04:59 You’re not telling me your address? —No. —Then I think we will…

05:02 Write it down! —Then we’ll wrap this up at the station, because you’ll accompany us to the station.

05:06 If you don’t have the decency to comply in a civil manner.

05:09 First you want my license, then you want to have my address! Are you crazy or what!? —Please.

05:12 Are you crazy or what! —No I’m not crazy, I’m asking you for your address, in a civil manner.

05:17 [in Turkish] What a d**khead. A**holes. You are totally crazy.

05:20 I must leave this country. We Turks have no business here!

05:23 I have no business here! You do it for the Turks on purpose!

05:26 Turk drives with an S-class and you can’t handle it. You’re just jealous.

05:30 Regarding the speeding violation, you don’t have to answer. —I don’t answer with you!

05:35 OK. —I won’t answer you. You can write what you want! —So you want… —And those a**holes

05:39 can film what they want! —So you don’t want to make a statement regarding your speed?

05:42 I don’t want to make a statement! I told you. You know my statement!

05:45 Do I have to say it ten times!? —I just asked. —Don’t you understand what I’m saying! I told you.

05:49 I don’t notice the speed. I have visitors coming from Turkey.

05:53 I’m talking to those people, at that moment I didn’t know how fast I had been going,

05:57 and I don’t believe it either. Your reading, I don’t believe it. I didn’t go 170.

06:02 What you registered was your own speed. You’re just talking BS!

06:06 That’s correct, our own speed. If you could stop your excited behavior.

06:10 I can explain to you in a calm, civil way. —I’m talking in a civil way!

06:13 I was just telling you… —You’re constantly interrupting me; I don’t interrupt you, do I?

06:16 Listen, listen. —You don’t want to hear it. —I want to hear it, but I told you:

06:22 I told you, I’ve been in this country for 30 years, never in my life did I hand over my license.

06:26 I’ve never been to a police station, because I’m a regular citizen.

06:30 Fair enough. — I make one little mistake, you come with a camera,

06:34 you take away my license. What kind of BS is that!

06:37 To summarize, you don’t want to make a statement. —I just did, aren’t you listening!?

06:40 I told you didn’t I? Do I have to say it again?

06:44 Don’t you understand me? I’m speaking Dutch, you want me to jabber in English!?

06:48 If you don’t understand me, I don’t get it. You’re from the Netherlands, a Dutch boy, aren’t you?

06:51 This is a brochure, which I’ll give you. It has information

06:54 about our work, the video patrols we do.

06:57 And it’s also a receipt for your revoked license.

07:00 And I’ll give you this, that’s an FYI about the fine.

07:05 It also has specifics about the violation. And on the back how you

07:11 can appeal if you disagree. —Of course I disagree! —OK, you’re welcome to. —I disagree.

07:18 with you, with your colleagues, you’re all, both liars.

07:21 Well. I’ve been calm throughout this conversation. —I’m calm too!

07:25 You don’t want to talk in a civil manner. —If that camera weren’t here, you wouldn’t be so calm.

07:29 I know you! —I’m always calm, sir. I’m always calm.

07:33 Go ahead, check [Turkish mumbling]. How many times have I been at the police station?

07:37 I don’t know you! —Yeah right!

07:40 If you would press computer, you see it immediately. Who I am!

07:43 Why should I know who you are? —Why do you bring such a camera, man?

07:47 For me you’re just somebody who was speeding and has a car.

07:50 I’m just a Turk! Turk! —All right. Those are your words. [woman] Yes, you want to play movie.

07:54 —At the risk of repeating myself, sir, your license has been revoked. If you drive now before

07:58 your license is returned, you’ll be committing a felony; I have to tell you this.

08:01 Didn’t you see? He is behind the wheel. Do I have to explain it again?

08:05 I understand it’s inconvenient, but I have to tell you. —I’m not stupid!

08:08 I live in this country for 30 years! I know how it works! You don’t have to explain anything to me.

08:11 Fine. —Yes? Are you happy now? Can you go to sleep?

08:14 Oh, yes, of course. —We’re done, I wish you the best. —You got a Turk. You’ll sleep well tonight.

08:19 Those are your words. —Hey cameraman. You too, huh!? I’ll wrap up this conversation. See you later.

08:22 Well, it looks like this driver is going to emigrate soon.

08:26 He’s free to do that of course, but either way he lost his license.

08:30 The DA will look into this case, and will decide how long
