...and yet stessex reported that someone was breaking into his car in the middle of the night and the police say they can't do anything. It seems we drivers get plenty of law applied to us, but when it comes to expecting support from the law, we can just sod off.
Sorry, feeling mighty grumpy today.





No you mean he called the police after the kid had long gone into the night.As a copper myself I will tell you that unless the calls say that the vehicle is being broken into while you on the phone then details will pretty much be taken over the phone for a crime report and number for your insurance,scenes of crime will visit you the next day to see if any prints left and a officer will attend to have a knock on neighbours doors over the next few days inbetween jobs.

With all due respect guys everybody moans about how all we do is pick on the poor motorist as they easy targets when in reality the roads are policed very little nowdays compared to when i joined and that was only 8yrs ago,unless you are a traffic cop you are told to not tie yourself up in traffic offences so that more officers can attend proper jobs.

It's this reason that 7/10 times you wont get an officer to you for a theft from/theft of motor vehicle becaue its already happened,not much will get solved if we drop everything an rush round so we are kept free to attend the jobs that require us to get our asses there due to the offender being there still

It sucks i know but no point slagging us off,we are sent to these jobs and go where we are told be by a control room of civilians and near retirement coppers who will send us to the jobs that are graded as immediate repsonse 1st,each time a officer arrives at a job the 1st knowledge they have of that job is when they were sent to it about 5minutes ago over the radio,we didnt know it was reported 3days ago or whatever it was and then all we get is abuse over the time it took us to arrive and yet we stood there thinking "But it only took me 5minutes to get here what you moaning at"

Moto here is don't moan about us,we get it in the neck for 99% of stuff that we have no control or knowledge about.
