Just like to point out that police arent as perfect as they think.

Some of you lot make me laugh, you really do!
Coppers are twats
I hate the police
Stupid comments like this are pathetic. You may not respect the police, but i bet you would call 999 if you were in the shit, or would want them looking if your car was nicked. Remember, there is only so much pro-active policing that can be done, the majority of time they respond to incidents that have already happened.
I work for the police, and have the utmost respect for them. 24k a year for weekends, nights, bank holidays, dealing with scrotes and aresholes all day, is not great. Do you go to work every day knowing theres a chance, however small, that you may well be assaulted for doing your job? dont think so! Wait til you are getting your head kicked in on a friday night, dont bother calling 999, just deal with it. Or when your motor is nicked/broken into. Dont report it, we wont bother investigating it, or checking the known scrotes to see what they have been up to. Makes our lives easier that way.

That's exactly what goes on here.
Iv'e had to phone the police on a number of occasions in the past and not once have they come good. They've been utter useless pricks 100% of the time and would rather sit in their van than actually do something.
I have my own VALID resons for disrespecting the police.
I wouldnt call the police if i got jumped.
I wouldnt call the police if my car got stolen/broken into.
Because NOTHING EVER GETS DONE ABOUT IT.

Last shift i dealt with shoplifters caught on CCTV who were charged, kids drinking and playing chicken on major roads, pikeys stealing motors, romanians with knives selling moody gold, searching caravans for stolen property, violent drunks assaulting hospital staff, plus various drink drivers, juveniles and more. In an 8 hr shift. So all the police on my shift sat in the station drinking tea - yeah, right. If you really want to know what the police do, go to your local station, tell them you are interested in joining up., and see if you can get a ride out on a shift as an observer. That will open your eyes. A meal break in a shift is a bonus to us, we rarely leave on time, some guys yesterday were 6 hours late off shift dealing with scrotes. Thats most days as well!

The police obvioulsy don't come if you're getting your head kicked in on a friday night, they are away chasing a motorist for parking illegally or soemthing.
If they don't like the pay they should get another job  sounds simple to me.

Police are awesome round here theyre quick enough to do you for speeding etc (money making) but when real crimes actually happen they do fuck all
stuff gets stolen they do fuck all about it.
Sounds from my car got stolen,they said it would be a waste of police resources to investigate the crime all they did was knock a few doors and give me a crime number yet theyre quick enough to do me for speeding etc
My granparents house got broken into my gran phoned the police and my father.me and my dad and brother got there quicker than the police did took them three hours to get there,even though she said that the intruder was in the house while she was on phone.
Police are fuckin useless imo,to busy money making to deal with real crimes

Nearly every officer i know couldn't care less about parking etc, unless it is dangerous. most of my shift will offer friendly advice, and if you accept it will be on your way. However, fail the attitude test (ie be a mouthy, lippy tool) and have a ticket. It is discretion that gets you off the ticket, not the other way round. Some things, such as parking on zigzags, or using phone or kids not got belts on, then its instant ticket as you are risking life.
However, if you meet some traffic rats, then you are probably right, but then again, they are there to enforce traffic law, town officers deal with the pubs, clubs etc. I wouldn't argue with traffic - they have tasers!!! and glocks and mp5s as well.

I have had to deal with the police on a few occasions, all of which they have been totally absolutely useless.
One of them included about 20 guys attacking my brother after smashing his car up outside my house, they came hours later then didn't hear from them again.
I've had them at the door for other stuff that's too long to get into, waste of time.
Best one actually that i'd nearly forgotten about, turned up at my door about 2am one night, we are looking for a girl thats missing do you have her, no what made you think that, we heard she speaks to you, wtf no i don't know who she is, ok then.

Police chiefs make the rules, decide how many cameras, scamera vans etc. We dont like them either. You think i dont get done if i get caught speeding? Worse for us than you. We would all rather be catching criminals than issuing tickets, i can assure you. Besides, thats what PCSOs should be doing! Spoke with my Sgt about this the other day. in 16 years he has never issued a speeding ticket, and will only stop motors if they are dodgy looking, something obviously wrong ie light out, or driving is of poor standard. Too many knobs out there to deal with to waste time writing tickets, after all we are not traffic wardens.

Your dead right, lets report it, and not get anything looked at....
2 bikes stolen from outside the house, fully securly locked, transit van etc..
2 attempted car thefts, fingerprints everywhere.
NExt door neighour was an officer.
Did they come out? Did they even give a crime ref? Did we have to keep chasing them. No no and yes.... Did we get any help whatsoever for any incident at all in my 27 year life? No.
But when I was doing 46 in a 40, they were happy to treat me like a criminal.
As for the assult part, well, YOU take the risks, YOU don't HAVE to do the job, choose another career, don't whinge about it.
I have had nothing but hassle from the police, yet i've always been polite and considerate them. But in todays world, your guilty until proven innocent.
Don't get me wrong, there are SOME good officers out there doing the job, but i'd say 80% i've come accross are mini hitlers with the "im right, your wrong" attitude when its not been the case.
Like when they stopped in the middle of the junction the other day to get a paper, stopping all the traffic and causing a massive tailback, and when I go past on my bike and beep them for being muppets, they pull me over and spend 40 minutes doing everything in their power to give me a ticket of some sort. Questions like, "is this bike MOT'd" (its a brand new f-ing bike). So other than being twats, i get a producer simply for the hell of it, causing MORE wasted time, more paperwork for my local police office, paperwork for them, and for what exactly???? I wonder what crimes took place during that 40 minutes of arguing about whats stupid about stopping in the middle of a junction stopping the whole flow of traffic in a very busy part of london. (of which they would not admit to being dangerous or an issue to the traffic flow).
AS a copper would say, "carry on".............
I could go on and on an on and on..........

the technical response to that would be that your horn is there as a warning device, not as a means of expressing your frustration. therefore, the police probably wondered why you beeped at them. Were they traffic or regular plod? There are still some arseholes in the job, but not as many as you would think. They obviously thought you failed the arttitude test by beeping, as there is no need for producers any more really - mot, tax, insurance all available over the radio as well as registered keeper check. I still get stopped by traffic, even though they know my car is legit, just because they are bored more than anything.

nothing important reported, obviously, or they would have left you and gone on to deal with it. Contrary to your views, the police prioritise incidents and will leave one job, such as your producer, in order to go to anything where someone may be in danger, or crime in progress. Basically, they would only stay and deal with you, if there was nothing more important to do.

Not all crimes get reported though.
And maybe if they where driving around instead of picking on sumone becaus they didnt like gettin beeped at for gettin they paper and doughnuts.they may have been a deterrent elsewhere.

Obviously the police act different in different places.
But from MY experience in SW scotland, they are a bunch of useless twats who have been taking hardman pills.
For example, i got pulled once by a copper (for no reason) who turned out to be a lad i went to school with. And he kept adressing me 'son'. That sorta stuff fucks me off. Power trip.

why did it fuck you off?
sounds to me like you've got a problem with authority, grow up and stop acting like an angry teenager that got caught for stealing penny sweets, and now hates all police
