Do You Have Faith in Your Local Police?

Copper load of this!! -- -- -- Fact is there maybe a blood bath outside the BBC this week as BNP Nick Griffin gets an early Christmas present courtesy of the UK TV license payer to appear on the Question Time panel. This alone will employ 300 police tonight around the capital as Mr Griffin's reputation attracts trouble. - The introduction of such a hated figure on mainstream TV has caused a stir and the correctly impartial BBC has defended their stance in inviting the BNP leader to the show. Of course it is part of democracy to include any individual with a recognized credibility in politics and the BNP, loathe it or not, did gain 900,000 votes in the ...  Read the complete review

I have every faith in my local police. I have had a few experiences with them, not always getting the result i want but that imo has nothing to do with the service i have received. I've read through a few reviews on here and have found those that are negative have blamed the failings in the law on the law enforcers, which is unfair. It seems to me that the police are in a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation. They don't have the power to change the law, which is obviously good - with no rules and no system in place, corruption would follow. Yet by doing their jobs and enforcing law, they can still be left in a situation ...  Read the complete review

I have always been brought up to respect the police and trust them to do what is right. I have had several issues were I have come in contact with them over the last 20 years or so. First time was when I was a lot younger and was sadly arrested for being drunk and incapable. This is were you are at risk to yourself and they put you in custody until you have sobered up. I must admit I was worse for wear and I do not recall a lot of what happened, but I do remember a police officer taking £60 off me and pocketing it. The next morning I asked for it and they denied any knowledge. I was no way in a position to complain - I mean who would they have believed? Other ...  Read the complete review

I am sad to say that I do not have a lot of faith in my local police. I have quite a few reasons for this, but as they are all personal to me you will have to make up your own mind about whether you do or not based on your own experiences. Firstly, I went to the police station recently with a friend so that she could report a cause of fraud. We were the first people in there, but however the last to leave due to the station being short staffed. My friend is also 6 months pregnant and the station refused to open the public toilets for her. we eventually left there at ten o clock at night after being there for three hours. I also feel that many police ...  Read the complete review

I think I speak for all police when I review this. But I think people do not need to be policed. They need to be helped. People turn to crime because they are bored or poor. They need to be guided towads getting a job, and building skills which they enjoy and can implement in a job. Also does anyone think that now police are around, nobody really looks out for one another anymore, we just think oh someone else will help them which is wrong really. The police just seem to be there to give out fines, and arrest a certain amount of people a day, which means sometimes even innocent law abiding people can get caught up in this. I have been ...  Read the complete review
