Customers of a website selling legal highs were tracked by Sussex Police and hand-delivered letters telling them they were “playing Russian Roulette with their lives”.
Sussex Police confirmed to The Argus it passed the letters onto four people, two in Brighton and two in Hastings, who had bought off the Wide Mouth Frog website.Gosh, I thought they were run off their feet due to 'Tory cuts'. Yet they seem to have enough time to worry about things that aren't crimes.
Or...are they?
The spokesman said the term legal high is also often misleading because many legal highs, or new psychoactive substances, are in fact illegal.
He said: “The purchase of these drugs is an offence. Commission of such an offence can lead to arrest, prosecution and a criminal record. Such a record could have a damaging effect on careers or job prospects.”So since you seem to have plenty of evidence that the people you delivered letters to bought these drugs, why aren't you arresting them?
The spokesman added: “And just because a substance is legal to possess, it doesn’t mean it’s safe.”Wha..?
Which is it, then? Legal or illegal? Or...don't you really know?
The spokesman added: “And just because a substance is legal to possess, it doesn’t mean it’s safe.”

I have bleach, matches, caustic soda, paracetamol, assorted bread and steak knives amongst many other things which are legal but not completely safe.
I await a knock on the door.*

May as well ask what use are the uniformed radiator huggers?
ReplyDeleteAnd Theresa did. She accused plod of holding the public in contempt; she axed all funding for the Plod Gravy Train Union and attacked endemic corruption and malfeasance. She told plod chiefs that the public no longer trusted police. She told the amateur gathering they needed to face reality and that their mistrusted organisation is at very serious risk amid growing public mistrust.
Too dense to appreciate diplomatic language, it fell to our Home Secretary to deliver this blunt truth in terms plod could understand.
And not a single boo.
Back on your usual form spiteful Melvin.
ReplyDeleteTheresa May is a horrible harridan who is out to destroy the police and with her mate Winsor she is doing a great job.
The delegates were told not to boo her.A few years ago when they jeered her it was thought to be counter-productive.She went on TV later complaining of her treatment as if she is a wilting flower.Of course there is no booing or jeering in HOP.
Also someone as allegedly clever as you should realise that the Fed is not a union,we are not allowed to join one by act of Parliament.Were we able to then things would be very different and you would certainly have something real to moan about.
As for the gravy train I think the Fed gets £195,000 a year from HMG which would just about pay for the expenses of two or three MPs. The organisation is funded by subscriptions-currently £22 a month for me-and is entirely voluntary.Police are not under any pressure to join unlike the closed shops of the 1970's.
Keep on ranting,it won't get your lawnmower back.

To brand every police critic as a malicious liar is a foolish ambition, Jaded. The Home Secretary is responsible for internal affairs which includes policing and yet you insist upon traducing her and add her name to your liars list - simply because she opposes police wrongdoing?
ReplyDeleteMelvin,I have never branded every police critic as a liar.That is one of the lies you repeat over and over again until it becomes the truth in your warped mind e.g "educatid".
ReplyDeleteThe police do lots wrong,I realise that.But what I object to is the smearing of all of us by armchair experts like you.
May has an agenda to replace us with G4S and this is all part of the softening up process.

My name is not 'Melvin', Jaded.
ReplyDeleteA poor investigatory skill is also revealed in your claim to knowledge of Theresa May's agenda 'to replace us with G4S and this is all part of the softening up process'.
Considered a career change? That wild imagination must be better suited to writing fiction than collating evidence for use in court proceedings.

Dear WC Jaded
ReplyDeleteTwo comments appeared yesterday and mine was not the first. Hope this helps.
"From a police "service" which couldn't be arsed to fingerprint my broken-into car or attend a burglary at a neighbour's house until four days after the event."
ReplyDeleteToo busy writing letters to 'victims' of self-inflicted drug calamities...
"And Theresa did. "
And how they squealed!
"Theresa May is a horrible harridan who is out to destroy the police..."
No, Jaded, she's a politician. She thinks the police need reforming, like every other arm of the State.
And stories like this prove her right.

1. Always excavate a generous descent diameter. Auger or post hole blades are available to suit the widest girth.
2. Post hole digger soreness can be minimised by releasing one's grip on the handles immediately prior to impact.
3. Always take a backpack holding a mobile 'phone with fully charged battery, emergency water supply and overnight clothing.
