Happens from time to time and according to those interviewed thereafter when the CCTV is shown to BiBs they often say there is very little they can do.

Strange thing is once the footage is published on social media, goes viral and the nasty bugger who has been caught red handed doing some poor pet a nasty has several thousand death threats every officer in town is put on the case and the BiBs can suddenly find them within hours.

The pets owners often complain when interviewed by the press that they are put under a lot of pressure not to publish and that plod get quite shirty when they do.

If it gets results and deters others what's the problem?

Problem is in the case of many of these viseos its not always clear where the cruelty has occured unless a face or place is identified. We have 43 forces -who deals if they dont know where its happened?
I'm talking about cases where someone has made a complaint to the Police, the Police have stated they don't think they will be able to find the perpitrator then the complainant publishes the CCTV footage on social media. Oddly enough the police seem more upset with the owner of the pet than they do at the person who kicks the dog or throws a cat in a bin.
