UK Police Spend £35K For A New Logo That Looks Exactly Like The Old Logo
The good news for them is that nobody will ever notice

I work in the public sector and the amount of money wasted and the work ethic practiced is sheer hypocrisy considering what they expect of the general public.

A what? Speed camera? I didn't think they existed. I've heard of police talking about Safety cameras.

Actually, that Norfolk Police logo has changed, if you look at the lions feet really closely you will notice they've added the webbed toes

Nope sorry different monitor. These exist in this one now.

Don't you love safety cameras? Near where my parents live, the council wanted to install a "safety camera", trouble was the section of road they wanted it installed on wasn't an accident blackspot, so they couldn't justify it. So they built "traffic calming" obstacle courses (another pet hate), and, miracle of miracles, the section became an accident blackspot. So they installed the camera, and soon after, the "traffic calming" was removed. Funny that.

There are many ways councils/police waste money, and often in spectacular style. Who remembers the flowery sheep in Maidstone town centre? I remember seeing a man arrested by a swarm of policemen (apparently laying in wait), when he tried to pick a couple of flowers from the sheep. Money well spent IMO.
