To be fair most of the plod we come accross are alright, well the bikers are, general traffic can tend to be up themselves a bit. If I'm doing wrong then fine, its when the ministry are out things get messy !

That's the problem - most coppers will probably agree with a lot of the sentiments about catching "real" criminals as that's what most of them joined up for.

I'm sure they don't like it any more that we do, but orders are orders and it's not the front line troops that create the battle plans, just carry them out. Unfortunately they also have to take the flack too.

It's the very thin end of the wedge and one of the reasons I gave up working with the public a long time ago!

As for AndyB's posts I can't see what was wrong with it either. I posted the original article about Marc Potter (MCN's editor) getting quite a few votes in the election. I think there was one sarky comment bringing the journolistic worth of that particular publication into question, and Andy commented on a particular article from his side of the fence, and how what got printed was entirely different. Then the post disappeared without explanation to neither myself or the other contributors as far as I'm aware.
