Today's 'YCMIU' Story...

A hotel boss has been asked to remove online footage of thieves who stripped their room nearly bare...
Because the police caught them? Yes, These people aren't the brightest so they tracked them down through the bank card they used. 

OK, so, why do the cops want the footage removed? Because it'll prejudice the case? Well, that's understandable. 

No. Reader, hold onto your hat:
...because police claim it is 'causing them distress'.

They obviously are planning to deny any charge, because police visited them and left without removing any items from their house.  

Dyfed-Powys Police visited Natalie this week to ask her to remove the CCTV from her social media because it was upsetting the alleged thieves.
'The officer's exact words were that it was causing them distress,' Natalie said. 'I don't want to be hard or spiteful but they should have thought of that before they took everything from the room.'

The answer to the useless cops is simple: 'You want the footage removed? OK. Charge them. If not, it stays up.'

"10 police officers"

All on overtime, no doubt.

In a group that big, there are probably (at least):

1 rapist
2 paedophiles
3 fabricators of evidence
4 takers of bribes

There were 10 Blue Bobbies, sitting on a wall ...

Nothing surprises me about Plod these days. I'll wait for the inevitable excuse that it's the senior management that made them do it. That worked well as an excuse at Nuremburg!
