Time for the Police to act? Just a Rant.

Flaming vandals. I can’t stand people like that!!! They do my rocker in 😀 😀 😀

I was a Special in the North East of England for 3 years but also wasn’t allowed in to the regulars because of medical reasons – some of the things I did and saw were certainly on a par with the regular police (which sometimes make me think I was lucky not being able to join up!!!)

Hurrifan – you don’t know the reason why the police pulled up at the station – many times I was involved in call outs (such as airport emergencies) which saw us racing to locations with the blues on but being stood down because the emergency was over or enough people had got there before us. I think you might find if you looked a little further that there are very clear regulations about when you can use the emergency gear so no one will risk their job just to get back to the station on time.

emmmmm…this is ireland…..its a bit different over here…

and as previously stated rotten apples in every barrell..

Hurrifan,
You know for sure that they were clocking off?
How about they were responding to a call for assistance at the front desk of the station, or a prisoner had gone berserk in the cell block, did you see them get out of the car?…..were there any other cars driving the same way? were there any ambulances driving the same way or did you just make an assumption……
Yes, I’m a Police Officer……….but as you can see not in the UK anymore.I now police in a country where we call people ‘sir’, people call us ‘sir’ and they actually, and frequently, thank us for being there.
What a refreshing change!

At least you are fortunate enough to be working in a country where the majority of the public still respect and appreciate their police force. In this country the aim seems to be to criminalise the innocent and protect the guilty.

Yeah, you can’t beat driving (in the UK) a bloody great Volvo down the A1m at warp speed………:diablo:

Fair enough, Hurrifan
There’s always going to be some pillock that lets the side down.
Enjoyed me rant though, thanks for letting me vent !!!

not a problem!!! better than letting the blood pressure get too high!!

I have a great deal of respect for most police forces ..they have a dirty job …and boy would i love to be a speed cop sometimes !!

Small station, no cells, no ambulances or fire brigades, not much traffic…they werent chasing anything….got out of the car , stretched and sauntered in at their leisure!

And i know what time they change shifts….this isnt the first time this has happened either!

mind you i might be tempted to do the same ..given the chance of a nice cuppa and a choc biscuit!:diablo:

tell you what really got on my nerves last week …

I was driving in the road towards town and along comes a cop car blues ,siren everything going….passes me out and then gets stuck behind a car & lorry …eventually passes same and speeds on into town…..
to pull into the cop shop….clocking off time!!! 😡

Police came round nice and early. Apparently half a dozen cars and a caravan were done last night. Police have a fair idea which lot are behind it and are trying to gather enough evidence before arrests are made. Its a fairly organised group by all accounts and they want to get the head of the little band of sods. They have previously arrested some of the suspects on other lesser charges but are holding back arresting/charging them over this activity until they can get the whole lot in one go. Its a pity more people are probably going to have to suffer the same fate as me before they arrest them.
Nice to see they are on top of it.
Go get ’em boys!

Ivan I know you’re angry but please try and watch the language 🙂

Sorry!!

Just put the Cling Film over the window, had a fag (nice chap) and have just declared war on Low Hill (ask a local they’ll understand!!!!! 😉 )

Reminds me…… ‘ Just went for a tramp in the woods…. great day but the tramp’s getting a bit fed up!!!!”

Who said that first?? Cooper?

My brother in law was a “special constable” over here in UK. He has a phenomenal memory and is incredibly fit. He went on many raids and operations with the “regulars” because of his abilities. .

As a note, Simon could walk down a street and then recite all the number plates of the cars parked there.

I can count to 5

not a good idea…bet the cops would be out quick for that one !!!

Can sympatise with how you feel the number of cops on the ground versus thise stuck doing officework is crazy.

Over here they decided to recruit something akin to a reserve …Quess what?

the regulars initially refused to have anything to do with them..daft or what?

My brother in law was a “special constable” over here in UK. He has a phenomenal memory and is incredibly fit. He went on many raids and operations with the “regulars” because of his abilities. He was however unable to join the force as a regular because of a heart murmur diagnosed when he was 8 and is now no problem. They were happy to have a “free” copper running over factory roof’s but would not let him join as a regular. His colleagues and immediate superiors wanted him, but H&S said it was too risky as it would cost too much if he died on duty. He is a Black Belt Tae kwan Do, a Cycle Speedway regular and ran 3 marathons last year.
The regular Police view is to “Protect and Serve”
Government “To Pervert and Swerve”

Window still smashed

Rant still active.

Cat avoided, mother in law in range.

You have my full sympathy Ivan, but please don’t kick the cat. Kick a ned instead…;)
