yes , its a joke when folk catch on they will be all at it .....with the get out of jail card free supplied by the local fuzz ....sorry mate I forgot to pay....

a stunt by cops .....yes .....but the cuts are here to stay, now the torys have a majority I believe the next few years are going to be hard ones if your sick , old , without work , a victim of crime .

ww3 ....maybe not ....but cuts are something to prep for.

they have already halved our local police force, the two nearest police stations have now been reduced to 2 officers at one, and 3 at the other. good job we are a law abiding lot in north devon.

[Sunna]

that's why they done it bp , same here in rural Worcestershire never see a cop car from one year to the next....but it wont be long before the city boys catch on .

also if you read that report would you be more or less likely to steal some juice ....

[bigpaul]

no, in my area, everyone knows who you are and where you live, so getting up to mischief is really a no-no.

[Barneyboy]

We are down to one copper here ,heating oil and farming equipment are being nicked a lot ,the police can't cope .its going to get a lot worse

[bigpaul]

don't see a copper here unless its a "domestic" with kids in the house.

[Tartar Horde]

So if it's not a crime lets nick fuel off the Pigs lol.

[bigpaul]

yeah right.

Oh works in garage people drive off all the the time. Police just knock on their door tell them to pay up. If they havnt paid within a couple of days they go back. Do the same in morrisons with a full basket of tvs or expensive meat its shoplifting. Filling your boot with food or fuel its the same offence but with a relaxed attitude.

Living and working in a city the cutbacks are noticble. Police radio all bars pay a late night vevy goes off at 3am so you have to phone 999 possibly wait an hour for a response so its evectivly martial law on a nightime.
