At the time, a judge told the 71-year-old: "You are someone who identifies as transgender and the impact of custody would be significant for you in the circumstances."

Through chattering teeth, the youngster replies: "I dunno but it's really cold. I'm just really dizzy and cold." Read More He added: "I need some heat. Please can I sit in the back of that van? "I need a drink or something. My hands are freezing." He is bundled into the back of a van with a foil blanket before Durham Constabulary locate his motorbike. Burnside was transported to hospital and treated for hypothermia. Most read in The Sun He later admitted dangerous driving, driving without a licence or insurance, failing to stop for police, driving a vehicle on common land and fraudulently altering a registration mark at Peterlee Magistrates Court. He was last week banned from driving for 12 months, fined, ordered to complete a rehab activity, and carry out 300 hours of unpaid work. A Durham Police spokesperson said: "Operation Endurance, funded by Durham Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen – is our ongoing campaign to address the harm caused by illegal and antisocial use of motorcycles, using a range of tactics including drone technology. "We proactively target offenders with warnings, seizures, and behaviour contracts, gathering intelligence so we can stop their offending." This comes after the shocking moment Thermal imaging from a police helicopter shows the silhouette of a suspected offender running along a field. The helicopter tracks the man along a wooded area as he continues sprinting away from cops. But moments later, a police dog enters the frame giving chase. Within seconds, the dog catches up to the suspect and launches at him from behind. The dog, PD Ted, send the man hurtling towards the floor after grabbing him at waist-height. Elsewhere, a speeding driver was caught on camera smashing into a house during an 80mph police chase - but amazingly nobody was hurt.

Police eventually had to slow down in residential areas and lost her, but later discovered that both of her children were not secured in child seats during the 'appalling' incident'.
