I have noticed Ben, since you put your new Avatar on, ie the wheel on the car, it is going BACKWARDS, are you doing a De lorian, and going “Back to the future?.” 😀

Lincoln .7

Its a turbocharger wheel jim 😉 And it is turning the right way 😉

That said, yes for time travel 😉

It would seem mr moggys one is a generation ahead of mine 🙁

This is the one I have, films 60 minutes of 720 hd film and takes AA batteries – The new ones look slick, I might have to invest!

I definitely with moggy on this one, I have that camera and it’s amazing! The only thing he will need is lots of aa heretics if it’s like mine

If Im honest I would put a big block of it down to people being promised the world by other organisations on behalf of the police, people who then blame the police when those expectations arent met.

Parents who call the police because their 14/15 year old kids are arguing, parents reporting their children missing, when they know fullwell where their children are and just cant be bothered to go and get them. People calling 999 at 2am in the morning saying that they’re lost and have no money asking for a lift home.

Not only that, The police do an impossible job, every which way you look at it. theres nothing easy about it at all.
A lot of people complain because they dont see police officers out on foot patrol, visible policing. The problem is with this is that it doesnt generate “Statistics” which is what the government wants. Policing is run like a business these days, It shouldnt be.

When I started my job, I was astounded at the things that people call 999 for – it makes the people off Jeremy Kyle look nice.

unfortuantely dave, different police forces deal with this in a totally different manner. Whats worse is that the general public brand “The Police” as all the same thing where in reality, its not, different police forces do things totally differently.

From what I see, we go out of our way to accomodate the general public. My colleagues and I certainly do 🙂

Only just noticed this topic and read some peoples accounts of their experiences as a Special Constable.
I’ve wanted to become a police officer for about a year or so now but with all the cuts I guess there won’t be an intake any time soon.
I noticed that there is a current intake for special constables though and after reading the accounts here I think i’m gonna apply 🙂

Good chap, you’ll be joining Thames Valley Police (my force) Will you be looking for a milton keynes posting? Drop me an email when you get in 😉 Although you wont be talking to my control room 🙁

Jim If/When I finish it – it’ll be so fast that speedcameras wont catch me 😀

Ive got some custom gearbox ratios designed, 200mph+ is a definite, I just need to work a way out to keep it on the ground – properly designed diffuser is going to be a must!

good luck with your job chap 🙂 Im sure it’ll be ok 🙂
