In practice, all that happens when you call the cops over any kind of alarm is that you waste your time and money because zilch will happen.

I'm reminded of the best parenting advice I ever heard:<br />'never threaten to do anything you aren't fully prepared to carry out'*.<br /><br />I suspect the attitude of Mr Kingston and his charming wife led the police into threats of arrest and subsequently prosecution which, once made, had to be carried through. <br /><br />*(The book then goes on to give an excellent example: 'so if it misbehaves at the zoo, do avoid saying that if it does it again you will throw it to the lions'.)Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-22654746094044884982012-05-17T10:54:50.939+01:002012-05-17T10:54:50.939+01:00Not sure it was in the publics interest here to pu...Not sure it was in the publics interest here to put a 72 year old disabled man through court. <br /><br />He acted in a abhorrent manner not caring if his neighbors flat was on fire, however why were the firemen doing arguing over this ? If it was important either go through the door, or moved the car themselves - wasting time convincing someone to move their car is joke.<br /><br />So we have Police officers, Fire Brigade, Judges, clerks, lawyers, court time all wasted on refusal of someone moving a car - for a false alarm, that could have been dealt with in others ways. <br /><br />British Policing, where common sense leaves and jobsworths rule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-16136889833530193902012-05-17T10:46:51.188+01:002012-05-17T10:46:51.188+01:00Complete TOSSER !Complete TOSSER !Captain Haddocknoreply@blogger.com
