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. I can think of a few reasons for them getting pulled over and that happening. 1. stolen car. 2. no insurence. 3. no driving licence. 4. drunk driver. 5. Banned driver. Police do not take away cars and arrest people for no reason. Every single time they do they must spend 30 min on paperwork, which is the true problem the police has.

Maybe instead of doing it for petty offenders, that 30 minutes would be better spent doing the paperwork to get the real criminals off the streets. Oh, I forgot, petty offenders pay fines so it's financially beneficial. Real criminals have to be sent down which costs money... Silly me! I made the common mistake of thinking the police were there to stop crime and not just to make more revenue for the government. /me understands why so many people hate the police, they are little more than overpaid traffic wardens now. Car broken into. ú200 Called at 3am, 4 hours after it happened and missing a days work sorting out paperwork. ú100 Missing a days work to see the offenders who did it (caught on camera) let off with a caution. ú100 Travel to police station 10 miles away to make a statement. ú5 Seeing a cop on the way talking on a mobile while driving and reporting him. Priceless. What made it even more priceless was that it was the same cop who pulled me up and gave me a hard time a week before I dont call a banned driver found in a car petty. There is a reason he is banned and the sooner the idiot is off the streets the better. The same goes for people who break the speed limit, drive without a licence or have a dangerously broken car. They all endager lives.

No real criminal is going to risk being caught so easily, they know how easy it is to spot an untaxed car, you may catch petty thieves at the very most. It is all to do with getting more revenue from fines and no other reason. I get the impression that a negative IQ is pre-req to joining the police force. How about appliying to your local police force then? But before you do, ask yourself, can you handle incidents like this in a calm manner? If yes then could you handle this day after day? As for the petty theif comment. Not too long ago police raided a house of a man belived to have stolen a wallet. They found a ********* farm worth several million pounds. As for the slow responces your seeing. Dispite what the government is saying things are not getting better and the police are streached. They have daft amounts of paperwork which must be filled in every time they make an action. Half of the time a cop is in the office filling out forms to at least make sure the person the just cought doesnt get off due to some box that wasnt ticked or some other technicality.

But dispite this the government insist crime is down Crime is Down. The media just doesn't sell papers unless bad things happen, so they must grab every small event by the balls and ********** it till it starts to make people lose interest. Who reports a government success? The govenment has been spinning survays to make it look like crime is down. Knife crime for instance is three times higher than what the government reported.

Like I said, maybe a redeployment of resources would actually make a difference. There are far too many traffic cops and not enough patrolling the streets, responding to calls and actually doing something about the crime. While that should be the case, when it happens, the public ***** about it. I would call installing speed cameras and moving traffic police to beat patrols a redeployment of resources. But then people complain that the camera catches them, It's a bit of a catch22 in that department. But we already have cameras anyway so why do we need police to do it as well? This points more and more in the direction of generating revenue rather than crime prevention. They do more than just sit there for 12 hours as a speed trap. They will constantly be called to everything from domestic disterbinces to fatal accidents. And so what if they are making money to fund even more police work? The people who are getting fines are breaking the law.
