Unfortunately unless people stand up to the powers that be in Parliment then the people will end up with the police service they deserve.
Speed cameras are another perfect example of policing on the cheap... then there CPSO's (sorry community policing support officers).
The problem is that the poor cops & C3PO's now have to deal with every complaint made 'ethically' what ever the fook that means. They get audited injust about everythng they do and have almost lost the old discretion they used to have.
You don't even want to get me started on the number of obvious & decent cases the CPS throw out before even getting to court for fear of losing and thus effecting their figures. It's no wonder the police issue so many cautions & £80 on the spot fines to keep their detection levels somewhere where the govn. expectes them to be.
No prizes for guessing my day job!
