UK Police Force - Best in the world?

[smashedagain]

I think the UK police have to do too much paper work though.

They have their hands tied pretty much. Too many crims get off with shit by going no comment. Not a big fan of police in this country but at least they can't give you a kicking like they do abroad

[leethefish]

50% try to do the job to the best of their ability and for this I commend them
50% are jobsworth pricks

Figures could be spot on. We have a few bent coppers around here too that are the worse sort of coppers.

Paperwork is a problem, red tape, the law does seem to favour the crims.
I gave the police details of people which may have led to recovery of a government restricted laptop which may or may not have contained sensitive information with regards to the armed forces that was over 12 months ago and nothing happened. I got burgled and gave the police details of where they could have recovered stolen property, this was 8 months ago and still nothing happened.
This is why they are crap in my opinion.

And Jase your no comment statement is absolutely spot on.

Yeah pretty much have next to no chance of a conviction if this line is taken and a lot of cases don't even get past CPS if some sort of confession or evidence supplied from the interview

No, I can only go on my personal experience.

[outragous76]

Ive had the best and worst of it!

I had 2 traffic officers try to fit me up and another entrap me

however, I also got let off it a very very bad spot by the nicest copper in the fkn world

Like most things in life its all about the individuals. Its a shame we cant weed out the absolute pricks

Obv this, I've personally had a shit experience with them were some of them were complete and utter twats, that doesn't mean they're all twats.

Some good cops and some terrible ones, just like everything in life.

I kinda like the idea of the police giving crims a kicking actually. I know it's open to abuse, but still.

They would need to wear helmet cams thou so an independent panel could review the incident and decide if the kicking was justifiable. For example, if the police catch some young hoodie burglar in the act the panel can rule that kicking him in the stomach and delivering several baton strikes to the head was reasonable.

That's just the worst idea!

Thats silly Mantis. Dropped on a young lad in Ibiza beaten up black and blue. Coming out of a club with one E in his pocket, sees cops panics and runs. Cops get him, bundle him in copcar. Take him a few miles away get him out beat shit out of him and leave lad for dead. Has'nt been like that round here since the miners strike. We used to get the Met up here. At weekends they were bored so when you come out of a nightclub not joking their would be ten black mariahs lined up. These bastards just attacked randoms walking home.

Meh, its not the worst idea for some of the vermin around these days. For some of the worst repeat offenders they should just adopt the Brazilian approach
