[video=youtube;DG2HzM19jWA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG2HzM19jWA&index=1&list=PLIazfxS_bvVT5q-oHIBfWXT-dfJ5CXyL2[/video] The show came out in the late 90's and was produced by the Russian Police to deter thieves, but it actually increased car thefts due to the show's insane popularity. Lasted two seasons before it was pulled. [URL]http://www.borderherald.com/popular-russian-tv-game-show-intercept-may-making-comeback/[/URL] Article above says it might make a comeback.

wait wtf they beat people on tv as part of a gameshow. wtf russia [editline]16th January 2017[/editline] [quote]On the other hand, if the criminals failed to outrun the law they were in for quite a punishment, even by Russia’s violent standards. While they would avoid being arrested, the policemen participating would give them a savage beating on camera, leaving many failed thieves with bruised ribs and some even requiring medical attention. At its peak during the show’s second season in 1998 The Intercept was pulling in millions of viewers every night.[/quote]

[QUOTE]"Are you following Runner 2?" "Yes, we're right behind him." "They're girls, actually" "That's alright. We'll be gentle with them. Like we were yesterday. And day before that..."[/QUOTE] Well then.

[QUOTE=gufu;51678695]Well then.[/QUOTE] What is the role of the host? Is he reading off locations to the cops?

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;51678716]What is the role of the host? Is he reading off locations to the cops?[/QUOTE] Fomenko is just trying, and failing to get proper video and radio feeds from everyone. He actually does not inform cops/runners of each other's location.
