Seeing as they get so much bad stick, just thought I'd share a story on Sunday.
Merc in front of us, older one, not sure what class, C maybe? Not really all that on Mercs. Anyway nice car good nick but all over the road. Bouncing off a few kerbs and then going sideways in front of us, oncoming traffic the lot.
Back off, ring police and they are asking questions and where he's going etc. and we turn off a roundabout and he goes a different way.
Get a phone back later, apparently they sent a squad car out asap, found it just gone into someone and was about to drive off, blocked by the path of a police car.
Then a phone call Monday asking details before an interview.
Not one for grassing people up willy nilly but you can't endanger others lives and get away with it!
Good shout police. :afro:

I've called Police in the past to report drunk drivers and they've been so good. The most recent one I was in a pub and I saw three guys absolutely plastered get in a car and just sit there and listen to music. I called the Police and reported them, but they said that because they hadn't actually turned the engine off they couldn't get done, so the guy told me to wait on the line and let him know when they turned the engine off. I waited on the line with the guy for about 15 minutes, in the meantime the operator was placing units on side roads nearby. He told me he needed to hang up as it had been a long time on the phone, but gave me a 2 digit reference number to quote if they drove off. So 5 minutes later I was still watching them when they started the car up and burned rubber all the way down the road. I called 999 again and straight away got through to Police, and quoted the reference number, literally less than 3 seconds later there was a police car with the lights on absolutely bombing it behind them. The operator thanked me very much and told me that they Police had just reported the vehicle had stopped and occupants arrested. Later on that same night I got another call from them thanking me and letting me know the driver was charged with drinking and driving and would be charged.
I was baffled at just how quick the Police responded and got behind the car, it was within seconds. Top work by them.

Things have changed since then, procedures, H&S standards, etc. We nearly always hear about how a copper was a cvnt that issued someone with a fine because they were running illegal plates or some other silly thing, but we almost never hear of good Samaritan policemen and women who are reasonable human beings like most of us and allow margin for error. Say what you want about police, but they're the first people you rely on if something they're needed for happens to you, so give them credit where it's due.
And well done for doing your job properly :afro:

Thanks... but i dont need any thanks really. Im just doing my job :smiley:
As for the police... you want to hear how many people I know that have had break-ins only for the police to cause them more stress than the break in.
If you want a crime number... call the police. If you want something doing... do it yourself.

Well Khare has touched a point really!
Since that Hillsborough tragedy how many coppers did some good between then and now?
The problem with this whole blame game is someone has to lose a job or go to prision fo9r justice to be had. I think we as a nation do not learn enough from mistakes and have trouble moving on for the better?

I think you will find that 23 years of lies is quite difficult to move on from. Doing good is the job of the police, they get paid for it.
Killing innocent people and then lying about it is not their job..

I was not at hillsborough so I can only go by what I saw on Tv, tragic feck up by more than just the police but they seem to be taking the brunt of it.
Fair play that they should not have lied and covered it all up, there should be judicial action being taken for it.
Cant help thinking that other people have dodged their part in this by heaping it onto the police......
I think all in the police do a good job, all the coppers i know are top notch and I trust them with my life.
Just a shame they lowered the standards to swell the ranks and now have some idiots on board who like to push newspaper sellers over.....One good reason to not arm every copper on the street.

No arguing whats right or wrong here just stating alot of good stories out there aswell that coppers have helped folks. Finding lost kids is just one of them usually doesn't make news when they are safe and sound only when when murder is usally invovled.
Another example is the soilders accused of murder, it drags the rest of the good lads risking there lives out there!
All I see is black and white try not to see too much grey :rolleyes:

I think they have a good job!
If i tazer'd a blind man id get locked up... if i was a policeman tazering a blind innocent man id get some stick of my work colleagues :whistle:

everyone has good and bad experiences with the police, good being last year i was held at gunpoint and kidnapped in my own car, police helped me out very much, aswell as my friends, long story short i got out the car next to a police car and i ran behind it not knowing what to do as i was in shock, and told them to get him out my car, he then ran and chucked the gun (not to be found), literally 30 seconds later 3 armed response came down and had him in cuffs 2 minutes later, and thankfully he got 9 years which has made me feel a lot safer.
only times i feel the police take the pee is for driving, i have been pulled for my tax disc being on my mirror (silly idea), and was told to move it or face a fine, also pulled for having yellow wheels and for the tiniest amount of smoke out of my exhaust (had to explain to her that it's a diesel and they sometimes do that :grin:)
-
Completely useless in every single event that they have been involved in around my way. Beyond explanation :angry:

Grassing? It's not grassing. Calling it grassing would suggest that what 'they' were doing was right.
Top marks for calling the (proper) powleeeece.
Much better than a white capped prat stopping me for no seat belt all the time :grin:

@ Clipperjay,
With regard to the Marines that have been arrested for Murder, its been made out by those fatherless sons "the press" that they have gone and slotted some innocent man in shear malice.
The actual fact is that Rules of Engagement in Afghan state that your life must be at inherant risk, (someone actually aiming and firing at you) for you to be able to engage them. All these extremists have to do is shoot at them, drop the weapon, and walk away for them to be free to do what they want.
What I'm getting at is that these seven Marines have been arrested for a breach of that ROE. Now I don't know the ins and out obviously as its still being investigated, and the MOD are very secrative until they release their conclusion of the investigation. But I honestly think they were defending themselves justifiably in firing back. It was not that they tortured and murdered someone, but the MOD have kinda condemned them by being so secrative, and not releasing a few more detail on the matter. I hope they all get released without charge, and hope their careers don't suffer due to this. Support our Forces! :wink:

Everyone makes mistakes and at the end of the day if you were in trouble or needed assistance then most of us would phone the Police, especially as taking matters in to your own hands seems to yield such harsh consequences these days.
On the rare occasion I agree with R32UK, it's the Police's job, they get paid for it and they should do it to a damn high standard. Just like our nurses, paramedics, firefighters, soldiers and so on and so forth do....
If you're a sales director and you meet your targets every week/month then you're considered to be doing a good job and you'll most likely get to keep it, you don't necessarily expect praise for it, because it's what you've been employed to do. On the other hand if you're in the same position and you fail to meet your targets time and time again, then you will invariably be 'let go' by your employer, it's a fact. Basically if your employed to fulfil a role, no matter what job it may be, then doing it to the expected standard is a primary and necessary objective and shouldn't require praise.
I think the reason why the people are so surprised when the hear 'good things' that have been carried out by the Police force, is because you only ever hear about the 'bad things' in our media and generally it's always over emphasized.
On another note, look at the NHS for example, people that have barely any connections with it at all, can generally always be heard to be slagging it off and slandering its reputation and that is often the portrayal that our country's media propaganda puts out too! But anyone who has ever really needed to rely on the NHS, will be able to identify that it is a beautifully run organisation with fantastic intentions and it is of great credit to our country and society. It just so happens it's understaffed, overworked and generally pushed to the limits.
How many good stories do you hear in the news.....f**k all, that's how many, because our media cares not for the good in this country and generally good news is far less dramatic, it doesn't have that 'Hollywood' edge! That's why you've got people like Russell Howard making ironic programs like 'Russell Howard's Good News'.....it's making a mockery of our media and society and rightly so!
It's in our nature as human beings to be able only to look at ourselves subjectively in a mostly negative manner and we find it hard to view ourselves in a positive light. It seems our country's media has adopted this principle in the most insincere and callous way imaginable.
I say big up the Police and any other f**k*r who does their job well and f**k the media!
