POLICEMAN THREATENED WITH HANDGUN

24.02.08, 12:09pm

It has been well known for very many years that in California the Highway Patrol have the best crime clear up rate. This is because at some point huge numbers of crimes involve a vehicle at some point. Put simply - people who have no respect for big laws have no respect for little laws either. A habitual armed robber or serial rapist will not give a toss about parking in a disabled persons bay. Get cops back on the beat and lets have many more traffic cops I say.

BETTER USE OF TIME

Seriously what do they expect. If the police put down their speed guns and stop booking those terrible motorists without a seatbelt they could tackle gun crime ans it would not have happened.

PATHETIC POLICE FORCE!

23.02.08, 11:37am

If these persons were elderly, pensioners who had not paid "immoral and illegal" council tax, then the whole force of the law would have been on to them and they would have been handcuffed, chained and thrown into jail.

But when it comes to facing the hardened criminals, the police, CPS and the judges have no stomach to catch or punish them as they stick to achieve their targets set by the corrupt politicians.

This is the price, we, the public, are paying for the incompetent politicians and the bureacrats who made the laws, which only punishes the law abiding citizens for minor offences.
