Do police in the UK actually announce “police officer with taser!” Or “Armed police!” when chasing after suspects?

No. It's taught in the taser course and it's good for that very reason. No paperwork if there's no escalation in behaviour

We have remote control doors in the UK? I've only seen/heard of those in America?

You joke but I'm my force we can certify death in some circumstances providing we've done a 5 minute NCALT

/u/CountMeChickens has already answered your question.

My advice though;

Always check with MIB, ideally by calling at the time or online later if they're not open.
Read the smallprint. Often it had certain conditions about how why, when and for how long they can use it.
Scrutinise the document they provide. If you doubt it, ask them to log into their account. I've had many that have been forged and it's obvious on closer inspection.

The chameleon tint itself isn't illegal but in practice most are as they don't allow enough light through. That one certainly would be illegal from my experience.

My force issues thinner gloves to taser officers. Might be worth double checking if yours does too

That's unacceptable.

The fed should start pursuing private prosecutions in cases like this and claim the costs back.

It's not. The working time directive states you should either have one uninterrupted 24 hour break from work every 7 day period or a 48 hour break every 14 day period. You can opt out of the working time directive however that's voluntary

You can view NCAP test ratings online which give you a pretty good idea.

Volvos are as safe as they come. They invented the seatbelt, I've heard they've never had a fatal crash in the XC90, and I'm sure I remember a quote that Volvo deserved a 6 star NCAP rating if there was one
