Well they been kept very quite, on the bright side they wont be measuring your speed.

:flame:

I would imagine the christmas after being struck in your vehicle by an

unisured/untaxed/disqualified/wantedcriminal/non licence holder/mass murderer/bomber...............etc etc would be worse!

Why not use technology to see where these people are? its done with your credit cards, store cards, computer, internet, postal address.........
I dont see a problem with this at all...........

:pig:

..but the criminals wont have the car registered or use false plates wont they??

I dont want to think about this or all my xmas spirit will drain away.................

1) car registered..........then if it aint itll be pounced on along with the No insurance/tax/licence/ god look hes wanted/etc etc

2) a) if the plates dont match the car hell be pounced on along with the No Insurance/tax/licence/god look hes wanted/etc etc
b) or the stolen plates have been reported hell be pounced on along with bla bla bla........

trust me i do it for a living!:pig:

a few years ago when cctv cameras started popping up in town centres a lot of people started moaning about it, privacy invasion, human rights etc...but, look how many scumbags have been nicked for their crimes on the evidence of cctv, the tube bombers for example, within hours their faces were on every tv news channel........i have nothing to hide, so why worry about who`s watching me ? anything that makes a criminals life a harder one is ok in my book....
oh, and merry chrimbo one and all ;)

Only if the powers that be employ enough police officers to follow up the intelligence gained.

And at the moment they don't.

I wonder why ?

its a joke, the police dont have the manpower to keep up with the criminals they already know about. this is just a scheme to help the police capture evidence to nick headline criminals.

a recent report by norwich union into a bunch of scammers was reported to the police, after the insurance company hired a private eye and collected names, addresses, CCTV, photo's, movement diaries, and proved that in one case 5 men had been involved in 340 claims in 1 year, either as witnesses, claiments or bystanders. The police simply had to go round an pick them up, they were told that they didnt have them manpower to follow up these sort of crimes. but the insurance company could pay the police time if they wanted it sorted !

And you wonder why your stolen bikes dont get found?

i've been trying to find the link to the report, will post it when i can.

so, moral of the story, dont worry about white collar crime, the police dont! The chances of getting caught with the wrong plates on are minimal and if you are what will happen? bugger all.

off the soap box now, thanks. happy new year!!!

Revolving number plates! Back in the shed with a paint roller and a Toblerone box. I'll fool em.

Utter crap!........in this case i can talk with the knowledge and back it up with the facts......i can assure you its not under staffed, and the bad guys are banged to rights!

:o Jesus Andy,you will have a heart attack so stop thinking you have to explain every police action....Relax pay your income tax bro chill take your erection pill etc etc

Most of the time i read these stories and turn away from the crap...........on this i can speak with direct fact!

:pig:

Andy, I bet sometimes you must wish you had told everyone on here that you were a librarian instead of a copper!:D

I don't know what staffing levels are like where you are, but here on Merseyside I have called for the Police on many occassions over recent years and the response has generally been excellent ..... 3 patrol cars within minutes for a gang of lads smashing up materials at road works, similar response after detaining a would be burglar, similar response to three men trying to smash their way through a shop window to get to power tools....but also over 20 minutes after dialling 999 after detaining a drunk driver.....( '' I'm sorry there is no - one available'' ) and over 3/4 of an hour after being in a scout hut with very young kids and being intimidated by a large group of teenagers, down to my 83 year old mum having her purse stolen in a local supermarket and no one able to attend at all.

Whenever I've had a poor response time the attending officer(s ) have been very apologetic and the reason given on each occassion has been similar to '' I' m very sorry but there are only two of us on tonight to cover this area and my colleague has locked up so now there's only me available''


Some of my friends are police officers and they have told me that sometimes at night there are only a handfull of them to patrol the whole penninsula including the towns and the countryside.

I assume that most crimes are committed during daylight hours and that is therefore when most officers are deployed for duty, but surely if officer numbers were increased dramatically then we could be far more pro - active in making life far more unpleasant for low lifes generally. I for one would gladly pay more in taxes / rates to know that my kids could leave their bikes on the drive instead of having to constantly put them away.

You guys on the front line do a great job under very difficult circimstances and like most front line staff get all the aggro which should really be directed at 'The higher up bosses'. As my wife says when she gets aggro...'' Don't shout at me, I'm here trying to help you!''

All the best for 2006

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
