Does anybody know? They seem to say a lot more different things than the other cops.
Not understanding Spanish, of course I hear some mondegreens.

Go to Yahoo! Babel Fish. Just type in what the cops say in the other language and have the babel fish translate it to english.

It doesn't really matter. All they're basically saying is "Pull over!" "You are under arrest" etc.

All I know is that "Lo hemos perdido" is "We've lost him".

Yeah, I've listened to some TV broadcasts in Spanish & Italian, and they both sound quite similar.

I actually have a couple of Portuguese-language TV stations in my area, and to me, the language sounds like a mix of Russian & Spanish. Then again, I heard that Brazilian Portuguese & Portuguese Portuguese sound different...

Well,. I wouldn't say "sound different". Let's say that they have regional differences, just like the American and British English like in the way of speaking and the meaning of a few words. But I must say... it's a really difficulty language. It has so much annoying those little grammar rules like when using the crasis and stuff.

What's a "crasis"?
It's a contraction of a preposition
a (to; at) and the feminine definite article
a (the) and is indicated with this symbol
`. E.g: The sentence
Vou a a padaria (I go to the bakery) will become
Vou à padaria. The same applies if the preposition is before the word
aquela (that one). So, instead of writting
Vou a aquela padaria (I'll go to that bakery), it will become
Vou àquela padaria.
Well, I'm not good at explanations, but I hope I made it clear.
