They do not remove unlicenced and uninsured cars off the road, they merely notify they have been used. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

Well in our town, local neighbourhood watch are warning people about white vans cruising the area stealing copper piping. Town centre is on CCTV, housing estates on edge are not. Now where do you see police on foot patrolling? common sense would say housing estates, maybe catch white van man? Nope wrong answer, apparently he is better deployed on foot patrolling in the town centre. To me that smacks of " we know it's pikeys nicking the stuff and it is too difficult to deal with them, so we will avoid them" see if we can get someone for littering in the town centre or riding their bike on the pavement. There is very little crime around here, you would think they would be all over like a rash trying to catch the thieves in the act.
