Them and Us Rant
My tomtom gets stolen from the car and I get (24 hours later) a phone call from a call centre with a crime number and a bo11ocking for owning one and
locking it in my glovebox....
My mates neighbour (a policeman!) gets a visit from two coppers and a SOCO dusting for prints for exactly the same crime and the same force...
How is this fair???

I still remember the words of a cop after my dad's car got stolen and it was found abandoned 2 miles away. We went down there and my dad asked
the cop if they were going to dust the car for prints. The cop said they wouldnt bother unless a crime had been commited using the car!!
So its ok to steal a £5k car - they wont dust it for prints to try and catch the scrotes, but if its used as a getaway car for a £50 theft from a shop
and then they'd get the SOCO out!!!
The cop looked so embarrased to have to say that - he even said with where it was abandoned they knew who had nicked it!! Hands tied it seems - until
its one of their own by the looks of it

It's not fair, life's not fair... deal with it!
This sort of favoritism breeds contempt amongst the general public. I guess they (the Police) will only realise this when they require help from said
public. Oh hang on a minute, the Police do ask, and often in respect of recent murders etc etc. So guess what happens... no-one comes forward to help.
Then they wonder why...
Since I got dragged over the coals a few years ago for having a nice motor (and doing NOTHING wrong!) by a young sprog (patronising b*$tch!) I have
had this contempt for the Police. When I hear of numberous Chief's of Police doing crazy speeds on "whatever" roads, i.e. driving
dangerously. and getting away with it... just add's insult to injury!!!
The lower they place the bar for entry, the more knobh3ads will be allowed to enter, this will undoubtably lower the standards and further increase
contempt. Enough said...
