They have bikes, quads, off roaders and drones.

He has been quite illusive, nobody has seen him for generations.

Ye’, we get U.S. border programmes and Canadian border programmes, the Canadians are more relaxed and get on with their job and it’s mostly about stopping drugs, guns and ammunition and undesirables getting into the country and done professionally . The American one is, well, not so much. I’ll leave it as that.

Not so much here. These officers are more to catch and prevent farm robberies of agricultural equipment, ‘fly tipping’ (taking waste such as old cookers, beds, fridges, etc...) so they don’t have to pay a waste company to take it away or for the county council to dispose of it, people behaving recklessly or antisocially, damaging the environment, etc... either with their motorbikes, off readers or quads now.
Almost certainly, none of these officers will be carrying a firearm.

I never pass up a chance to make a Hot Fuzz reference though :D
I love these pics and think this is a great idea. I’ve tried to explain fly tipping to people in the US, but paying for trash pickup is extremely rare here (usually it’s part of a blanket tax, not a specific fee).
People here will often dump tires,
refrigerators, etc, in wooded areas or off small cliffs. It’s amazing to me how many people are willing to do all that extra work. I can put tires or a fridge on my curb the day before trash pickup and some scavenger/recycler/artist
will most likely take them before the trash crew has a chance to say “We can’t accept this”

Ye', while regular waste is covered under the local authority taxes, large item waste needs a pre-arranged collection from the local authorities and a small fee, or you can take it to a waste site, which has a small fee, because they have to be dismantled rather than crushed due to materials used, much can be recycled while any chemical fluids have to be drained and correctly disposed of so it doesn't harm the environment.

Sounds pretty universal. With my fridge, I had to pay a serviceman a small fee to remove the motor and compressor tank, crimp the metal lines, and cut the power cord off before the local trash would accept it (due to refrigerant leakage). For things like paint cans, we have to dry them out with sawdust or just simple evaporation. Tires and oil, I just take to the local oil change place. Tires are $3, oil is free (because most places get a rebate for recycling their oil). All this stuff isn’t hard, which is why I’m amazed at the littering and laziness.

Some people are just oxygen thieves.
Thing the world owes them a favour for existing and they shouldn't be burdened with laws, fees, etc...

Whenever I hear those huge drones at night, I always go on the internet the next day to find out why, and it’s mostly just looking for some thieves. I find it incredible that that they use equipment this expensive to find some bloke that stole a pack of crisps and some stamps.

These are brought out for evidence gathering of riots, protests, fly toppings, etc... as well as for tracking off roaders or rural uplands damaging the environment. When people are misbehaving in off roaders, it's hard to sneak up on them as they will see you coming and scatter, this way, the police can approach them carefully or catch them later on the roads or at home.

Ah interesting! Here it’s really expensive to get rid of old stuff (I recently payed like 60$ to rid of a bit of wood) so it’s a problem here to. Never heard of police even trying to find the suckers that just dump stuff in the woods. I do hope this does catch on!

There are police and council authorities set up to catch and investigate these as contaminating the environment and it's clean up costs a lot of money and the environment takes a long time to repair itself.
