:I thought it was quite interesting after the Passat chase that the 2 Policeman were saying how the ‘community’ would be defending the man and not phoning in about a Passat driving round with the front smashed and hanging off.
Do they really expect members of public to phone 101 or 999 about every car driving around that’s a bit smashed up? I wouldn’t phone it in assuming perhaps they’ve been unlucky enough to have a smash and driving home. Knowing the MET call handlers they’d probably wonder why I even bothered and it would go ignored.
Think I’m with the military guy too. What has his rank got to do with it? Name and address should suffice shouldn’t it?

I think they wanted to report him to the Military Police - where rank would be a factor.Do they really expect members of public to phone 101 or 999 about every car driving around that’s a bit smashed up?

£80 for carrying a stanley knife/drunk
£600 for pissing up a shop
A warning for the chap growing and selling drugs and stealing plants
I'm pleased you mention that, it just seemed completely the wrong way round, I'm amazed they didn't make sure they got Alan Titchmarsh to go round and help put up his stolen goods, and build him a better setup for growing his weed, made no sense at all.£600 for pissing up a shop

Fines are income based...earn more pay more. BadgerBenji said:

There was no charge for carrying a knife as no evidence, he was given the standard £80 fine for being drunk & disorderlyashleyman said:
But why. He’s not actually done anything wrong has he?
It's not that he had done anything wrong but the fact that wasn't overly forthcoming in assisting the police. If there was need to speak to him later regarding what he had witnessed or whatever, adding the rank to a name narrows the field down immensely when trying to identify him.Try and positively identify a guy called 'A. Jones' in something like Royal Regiment of Wales with just the name....
If the guy who was assaulted was part of the group which Mr 'Rankshy' was with, then his CoC might want him to explain wtf went on and if he was aware of the highly intoxicated state in which he was in, why didn't he intervene / send him home / whatever.
With rank, comes responsibility.
