Capt Slog Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 yet another slaggy thread spreading bad press about the police again. Not exactly. The issues raised in the article affect ANYONE who wishes to take photographs in a public place for whatever reason. Some of the links in that article show people who are evidentlyout to wind the police up and cause trouble (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=168_1239737029) but they still have a valid point......... It is not yet illegal to film in a public place. I think it's important that we know our rights. Quote
lazarus Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 yet another slaggy thread spreading bad press about the police again. I'm betting when the police sort them selves out and stop beating/shooting inoccent people, stop loosing evidence that could implicate them and start solving crimes rather than picking on the general public then the slaggy threads will go away.

mikland Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 There are about 136,386 police officers in the UK according to the BBC. they are all people. even the best selection process is going to let through some 'rouges' when you are talking that sort of numbers. Thesad fact is that they are the ones who attract the headlines of our sensationalist press and so get the publicity. How many papers is it going to sell with the headline " STRAIGHT COPPER DID A GOOD JOB"? I am not a cop and I have been nicked for speeding... 100 yards inside a 30 limit doing 36mph. right smarmy shyte too. I was just lucky that he was a twat and didn't do me for having a race can on my bike! The worst thing in the police force is the PCSO's. They have no real powers and so exercise the ones have with a vigour. i.e. car tax, parking, etc. My wifes car nearly got busted 'cos the disk had fallen off and was in the passenger footwell. Missus: can I help you? PCSO: yer, your tax disk has fallen off. Missus: its in date tho. PCSO: yer, I can see that. I checked on the radio too. but its not displayed 'correctly'. So yur gonna get a ticket. Missus: how about I stick it back on with sellotape? PCSO: (miffed cos she didn't get the ticket wrote) yer, OK. I s'pose so. wnakcres. she could see the disk, but was gonna issue the ticket anyway on what can only be called a "technicality". Where's the comunity support in that? As for the dcik who killed that feller in the G20 riots. Throw the book at him. Throw all the fcuikng books at him. then jump up and down on top. cnuts like that bring down the rep of thousands of honest, hard working people in one 5 second vid clip. Quote
Farno Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 I'm losing faith rapidly in the Police on Government. Everyone is so wrapped up in terrorism that we've forgotten that we are a free society. Governments are empowered by the people and work for them. Police enforce rules that we have agreed to. I see erosion of my freedom everyday in some form or another Quote
Crispy Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Posted April 17, 2009 I'm losing faith rapidly in the Police on Government. Everyone is so wrapped up in terrorism that we've forgotten that we are a free society. Governments are empowered by the people and work for them. Police enforce rules that we have agreed to. I see erosion of my freedom everyday in some form or another Indeed. And given that the stated aims of the terrorists are to take away our freedoms you've got to question who's leading who down this path. Personally I'd rather have all my freedoms back and have my chances of being killed by terrorists increase by a factor of 100 or maybe even 1000. Even then it would be incredibly unlikely I'd be killed by terrorists and I'd have the bonus of being free every day I wasn't killed. Quote

SKEER Posted April 18, 2009 Report Posted April 18, 2009 yet another slaggy thread spreading bad press about the police again. Not exactly bad press, more facts about the ludicrous ways the government tries to cover itself up I dont know about you but I quite enjoy my human rights, especially the one about living in equality with the law, what a giggle that turned out to be eh?
