Tracker - Police won't do anything.

Yup that would be about right. The problem is that 99% of the time all they are asking us to do is come along and take responsibility for sorting out their life for them. If we spent less time trying to resolve individual lifestyle issues we might actually have opportunity to focus on some criminals.

I think the only sure way would be to hide about 5kg of P4 in the frame rails. Might make you a bit nervous riding next to power lines but at least you'd have a decent chance of sorting out the gene pool a bit if anyone had a go at it.

As I'm not trained medical, I can't make a call and say they are ****ed and send on their way, becasue if they die I would be in neglact of duty which is very bad thing. So then I call an amblance, so we have two crew members and amblance tied up on scence. Then I have argument with the crew about who takes the drunk, I can't nick him casue if he dies in the cell it would casue all kinds of problems, what happened if the drunk hit their head? So the arguments goes on, mean while a crowd forms I call skipper to come out to tell the crew to the drunk as they won't take it from a PC. So mean while a skipper and maybe another officer comes out, evetually the drunk gets taken away. I search the drunk, can't find ID so I go to hospital make enquires to find out who he is, next of kin and so on so I can write a report about.

The drunk mean while takes up a bed in hospital, a doctor and nurse ect. Evetually the said drunk gets kicked out of hopstial, then goes into amblance and takes a s#it in it so gets nicked for criminal damage. Back to the station, a cell, more officers are required to care of the soberish drunk who smells like s$hit. In the end not much happens, to him something like a fine they will never pay casue they spend all the benfit money they have on drink and drugs. Skip foward a few days, the same drunk collaspes in the street all the above happens again.

So when would like me to go do police work then? I got asked why served, well becasue I wanted to make difference. Anyways I was told that I was wrong job becasue you don't make differnce, if you want to help go do a different job. Not what you want to hear is it?

I totally get where you're coming from. I don't think the public really appreciate the constraints on us to do our job (the rules that we have to work to) and the things that pull us away from what the general public would term real Police work, this below might help explain some of it.

I spent 2010 & the first part of 2011 working on a 24/7 response team & I recall one 2pm to 11pm shift. At the 2pm shift briefing I was handed a job that had come in during the morning, it was the usual "my ex's new slag has just called me names over farcebook".

A cop from the early turn had been, seen some sbusive messages over a couple of days from one female to another, got a brief statement in their pocket notebook & prepared a harrasment warning notice for the "offender", but due to other stuff didn't get it served before going off duty so it was given to me to do.

I go around and the "offender" shows me a load of messages where the "victim" of this alleged abuse has been just as bad and after the attending cop had been she then then some rather abusive messages to the other party advising that cops would be coming to get her etc.

Anyway to cut this story down I spent 5, yes FIVE hours of a 9 hour shift going back & forth between these 2 parties to serve harassment warning notices. Especially when the 2 blokes then started to text the girls & each other with abusive texts as well. After visisting the "offender" I had to go back to the so called "victim", then go back to "offender", then return to the "victim" to speak to her other half, then back to the other address to advise that comments like "rip out your eye balls and pi$$ in your skull" could be taken as a threat of violence and to stop it & while there he got a text message advising that it was known what car he drives & how much are 4 new tyres, so back I go to the other address & while there he gets a text from the other saying that when he sees me leave he'll get his windows put out.

I could go on but you'd probably just get bored.

All of this started because the 2 women agreed to accept each other friends so that when the kids went to stay with dad, or when dad & his "new fat slag" were picking the kids up from school it could all be arranged properly, without the need for face to face contact or voice phonecalls.

I really enjoyed giving the tax payers value for money that day!!!!!!!

You could argue that they should just be left to get on with it, until somebody gets hurt and needs to be prosecuted for assault. But some namby pamby idiot would come along and say "we can't allow people to send each other threats of violence!" and the problem we have with this country is the powers that be consist of and have listened to those namby pamby idiots for so long we are now a country that can't allow anything! You wouldn't get a police officer telling that story in any other country in the world.

Bring back Gene Hunt style policing (if it ever existed!) Teach the messers and the scrotes right from wrong

And while we're at it Clarkson for prime minister!

Cant help but think Clarksons not going to be PM now ..in fact he's not going to be invited to any parties at all for a while .....
