They will catch speeders, possibly no road tax, or no insurance, but the speeders are the ones that will pay for the cameras. Any other offences discovered will be a bonus. The Police stopped crime prevention long ago and went for the easy option of targeting the law abiding.<br />Check your local force and find out how many traffic officers have been redeployed or left the Police, often in disgust. In my last 3 years of service, traffic officers in my county force solved over 30% of crimes, including rape, burglaries, theft of vehicle and even murders. However, in the interests of progress, traffic patrols are reduced or removed and cameras take their place. I am sure that the rise in unsolved crimes is just a coincidence.<br />Rant over.<br />Pen_seivetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-79080767040912974082020-12-08T17:39:17.312+00:002020-12-08T17:39:17.312+00:00At last, something to get Plod of his f*cking knee...At last, something to get Plod of his f*cking knees:- <br /><br />The good news is a brand new, state-of-the-art speed gun. Farces are doling out handheld cameras capable of reading number plates in any weather conditions, from 750 metres away. The cost may seem extravagant at £10,000 a throw but chief constables are claiming that each new device will more than pay for itself in a matter of days and thereafter prove to be a very profitable milk cow. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-34175318231006603242020-12-08T16:32:16.627+00:002020-12-08T16:32:16.627+00:00Ah Melvin I knew you be on this post like a hungry...Ah Melvin I knew you be on this post like a hungry hyena.<br />#lawnmowergate never gets boring.<br />Jaded Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-55979395903600435242020-12-08T14:36:32.945+00:002020-12-08T14:36:32.945+00:00Almost 100% of 'senior plod' are totally u...Almost 100% of 'senior plod' are totally unfit for their position.Ted Treenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392121240286596231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-40924293660031077262020-12-08T12:07:34.311+00:002020-12-08T12:07:34.311+00:00In our area it's well known that if the value ...In our area it's well known that if the value of items shop lifted is less than £50 the police will not even bother to attend.

Also include the Chief Constable in the claim as the Police staff are following the policy laid down by that Chief Constable, and anything a Police officer or staff do is with the implied knowledge and permission of that Chief Constable. I would suggest being hauled up in a county court, day after day, should concentrate the minds of those concerned and may alter this disgraceful policy.<br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-27453744478378990682020-12-08T11:09:58.148+00:002020-12-08T11:09:58.148+00:00What shocking news for Plod...having to deal with ...What shocking news for Plod...having to deal with crime!<br /><br />Imagine yourself in the real world...let's say running a small retail business, WC Jaded. How long would it take you to get rid of a highly paid security employee who just couldn't be bothered chasing 'customers' who were rushing to the car park with fully loaded trolleys of unpaid-for goods? Comprehend this to be better enabled in appreciating the ever-souring relationship between taxpayer and a despised public 'service'. These days, it is unusual for any of you to turn up to crimes, even when supportive CCTV footage is available. I speak from personal experience following the theft of an expensive lawn mower by 'Pikey' scrap-men. Your uniformed chums totally ignored this crime, claiming to be 'too busy' with more important crime in West Yorkshire. I assume that will include insane chases of motorists who were exceeding the speed limit by 1 mph; randomly stopping frail pensioners for a body search or breaking into peaceful private residences just to see if any crimes were being committed! There are very few professional/recidivist criminals in these victim groups and police activities are now failing to target those who cause the greatest distress and economic damage in the community. In other words, the real criminals are escaping focused attention or just being intentionally overlooked. A truth that any bright nine year old can unilaterally deduce. <br /><br />For those of us old enough to recall a era when crimes were properly investigated, Mr Plod now represents an idle and profligate public service. A 'service' that loathes having to do something about real crimes if citizens still bother to report them.<br /><br />A public that must contend with reporting a crime only to receive a crime number followed by a letter stating that 'the case is closed', is skating on very thin ice, WC Jaded.<br />MTG 1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-1220951238420926332020-12-08T10:55:45.028+00:002020-12-08T10:55:45.028+00:00I suggest that the shopkeeper tell the police that...I suggest that the shopkeeper tell the police that she's just beaten the shoplifter about the head with an iron bar, and he's now lying unconscious on the floor bleeding profusely.
