Remember these?
All of the current crop of 'Road Wars'/'Police! Camera! Action!'-type shows owe a great deal to the original 'Police Stop!' videos released around the early-to-mid '90s.
There were 4 volumes plus 'Police Stop! America' and they all showed footage of various motoring misdemeaners and car chases from Police cars' cameras, helicopter footage and roadside cameras, and they were narrated by Graham Cole (P.C. Stamp off of 'The Bill').
They could also be instructional - "Only a fool breaks the two-second rule!". They sold really well at the time, and I'll never forget (as a student) watching the large crowd of shoppers who gathered outside 'Our Price' in Colchester on a Saturday when staff put one of the videos on the screens facing out of the shop windows.
