As seen on that Taking Liberties video, I agree that Police have the job to be present in the community and to stop crime WHEN IT HAPPENS.
Til then they can sit on their hands.
Pre-emptive criminal catching and all this snooping has made most law abiding citizens hate police. It may save lives, but it destroys alot of other peoples and degrades the lives of the masses. Ideally, people should not have the desire to commit crime in the first place through good government, fair society and the assurance they will be caught without doubt and punished strictly. Punished... something that courts these days are becoming to liberal to do.
/discuss or flame me... I am sick of all these UK ****e laws appearing on the forums recently

Edit: @DubanFP: Thats the strange thing... the US seems to be slowly handing freedoms back after the initial terror law insanity... while the UK government didn't go nuts at first... they've just slowly and steadily been pushing them in.

Well if you're the police in Birmingham its to arrest people lingering at bus stops and be racist...
Also known as spot checks. A tactic brought in because alot of said people carry knifes.
If you dress like a gangster/chav and act like one dont be suprised if you get stopped.
I'm not convinced, while I was watching the police set up in a car park, they pulled in 3 cars...
Black guy in a sports car - towed
Asian guy in a bmw - towed
White guy in a ford fiesta - let go in 5 mins
I just don't see how pulling people over in the middle of the day helps make the streets safer.
Exactly. I don't see how towing people, random searching and questioning and ticketing people for going 5mph over the speed limit is helping. But then they don't rush to your aid when a chav is nicking you telly, or investigate a burning car until the next day. Too much effort to fight real criminals it sounds like.
@Erik Killson: You spelt Karl Marx wrong... anyway communism is bull****. As an half-American I support some of the Anarchistic ideals of some of the founding fathers which I why I am whining.
However you cannot deny that crime is a result of bad society; long unemployment, or worse the appeal of unemployment because of benefits, or the injustice of the legal system where criminals believe they can escape. We need police to catch and convict, to show presence in the community rather than sitting in stations or cars, and courts which make criminals fear committing.
The place where I live, we hardly see a police officer on the streets even though there is a police station in the middle of town. When we see them, its sad but we always assume something horrible has happened. We should be glad to see them on the beat.
