Sleepwalking Into a Police State – Police Acting as Bus Revenue Enforcers

[Cidersomerset]

There was a report out today saying how the Police are not responding to civil
crimes like theft, damage etc and I just saw this article that made me laugh and
realise how stupid the establishment is at times......

The policeman has no idea why he is being asked the questions and cannot make
his mind up whether he is being rude or not.

Sleepwalking Into a Police State – Police Acting as Bus Revenue Enforcers

‘In a clear example of how Corporate interests are taking over the functions of the
police, Police Constable 5397 boards bus ahead of inspector to intimidate public into
compliance with the Corporate agenda. He refuses to state what role he has in boarding
the bus even though he is a public servant and has no power without the consent of the
public.

The constable is required to confirm his oath of office when challenged, something that
this constable seems to have forgotten! The role of the police has increasingly changed
over recent years in an effort to assist Corporations in making more profit regardless of
the cost to the general public’s health and well being and human rights.’

Crime victims forced to turn into 'DIY detectives'

Inspectors identify a "mindset" among police of asking victims of crime
to investigate themselves as they are tasked with finding CCTV and fingerprints

Police officers are telling some victims of crime to started ivestigating themselves

Police are “decriminalising crime” by getting the public to turn detective and look for
CCTV and fingerprints themselves after they have been burgled, a police watchdog
warned amid fears police are giving up on investigating some crimes.

A report into the 43 forces across England and Wales found there was a “mindset”
among police to ask victims of criminal damage and vehicle crime questions to
assess if cases were likely to be solved before they investigate.


In a report Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) found some victims
were being asked to interview neighbours or even check second hand websites to
see if their stolen property has been listed for sale. Inspector of Constabulary
Roger Baker said: “It's more a mindset, that we no longer deal with these things.
And effectively what's happened is a number of crimes are on the verge of
being decriminalised."


Victims of high volume crimes – such as criminal damage, vehicle crime and
burglary of properties “other than a dwelling” - were the most likely to be
asked to investigate themselves, the report found.

Mr Baker added: “So it's not the fault of the individual staff, it's a mindset
thing that's crept in to policing to say 'we've almost given up'."

The report said the expectation to ask victims to investigate was
“surprising” and a “concern.”

It found many forces were using “desk-based” investigations, where officers
deal with a crime over the telephone, in such a way that unless obvious
CCTV or forensic evidence was available crimes were filed on the same day
without further investigation. Investigators found this meant opportunities
were being missed and this led to a lack of understanding of crime in the area.

“They're the cops and we expect the cops to catch people and my proposition
to you is unless you've got the powers of Mystic Meg or something like that,
you not turning up and using your skills, it's going to be mightily difficult to
bring people to justice,” Mr Baker added.

Earlier this week judge Jeremy Richardson QC ordered the chief constable
of Humberside Police to explain why a woman was asked to find the network
provider of a man who had bombarded her with sexually violent phone calls
for 18 months herself when she reported the harassment to police.

Inspectors also raised concerns about the number of suspects police have
lost track of, failing to monitor whether they answer bail, because reporting
systems are not being used properly or did not exist.

They also identified a large number of suspects who had either not been
arrested or questioned.

The report said: "It is a matter of extreme concern that some forces were
not able to provide the data requested on these points. Timely and effective
pursuit of named and wanted suspects should be core business for the police.”

The report identified 30,000 suspects across 32 forces who had not yet been
questioned or arrested in the last year – with 6,000 in one force alone.

It said: “It is quite unacceptable for some forces to be operating in the second
decade of the 21st century without the ability to establish and routinely monitor
efficiently such basic information as the number of suspects yet to be arrested,
or those who have failed to answer police bail.

“The lack of effective systems in some forces to monitor progress of such a basic
part of police work is a matter of considerable concern.”

The report raised concerns about the ability of call handlers to use assessment
systems to decide if officers should attend a crime. Of the 37 forces which use
this system, 12 were unable to consistently assess crimes while 17 failed to
identify vulnerable callers.

The report found this led to a wide variation in the attendance to crimes by
police across the country.

In Warwickshire 39 per cent of crimes were attended by police, compared to
100 per cent in Cleveland, up to November last year.

Attendance at thefts from and of cars was far more varied than with reports
of burglaries. In Warwickshire less than one in ten reports of thefts from a
vehicle were attended, and in Greater Manchester just over 30 per cent led
to an officer being called out.

In 17 forces, the Inspectorate found police community support officers (PCSOs)
were being asked to investigate crimes beyond their role profile and training.

The Police Superintendents’ Association of England and Wales said the report
made for “uncomfortable reading.”

Irene Curtis, president of the association, said: “Forces have made significant
efforts to save money and have continued to reduce crime as well as doing
their best to protect the front line. But the report indicates that while this has
been going on, some of the basic functions of policing appear to be slipping
through the cracks in some areas.”

I wonder if anything happened to the constable after this got posted on YouTube? I'm amazed at how civilized The Brits are. In America the cops would take a huge attitude and probably assault and arrest people for daring to question them.

The only thing this kind of behavior by public servants will do is piss the public off. I don't believe that this will be tolerated much longer even if it's seen all over the world. I think we've all had enough. People are starting to push back....
