Interesting chat with a policeman

[Bucket]

I was a SOCO (scene of crime officer) with Tayside Police '05-'09. This doesn't surprise me one bit.

Most, if not all of the cases I worked could be traced back to about five "families" in Dundee (cousins, half-siblings, step-family and the like) and it was almost impossible to get a conviction- even if the evidence could clearly prove it.

Most of the time felt pointless doing a full work-up as you could tell it wouldn't get to court, and if it did they'd pretty much get away with it.

Once got my kit stolen on the way home- apart from my wages docked nothing else was done. No time for them these days.
