What a surprise to see the two Yorkshire's near the top - tricky lying bastards up there....

Have to say I'm disappointed in Humberside, I didn't think it was that bad here..
I was in the City of London police in the 70s and 80s. The chap who used to be the main one with the (hand held) speed camera used to take into consideration time of day, weather conditions, state of the road, liklihood of other traffic, visibility and other stuff before setting his bogey limit (all were 30mph in the City). At times it would be as high as 60 at other times it would be as low as 40. If he stuck them on, they deserved it.
When dealing with crime, such as theft, crim dam, public order, that sort of thing, I used to take into cosideration many factors before deciding my course of action. I have actually been assaulted many times without prosecutions because of associated circumstances. I have fought with a prisoner in the road, had my uniform damaged and received cuts a bruises but, because of the circumstances specific to the incident I only prosecuted the chap for the offences I had arrested him for.
When it was cold or I was bored I would do drugs searches in Brighton. I have let people go with small amounts for their own use, after getting them to throw it down a drain. I'd take their name and if I saw them again I'd search them again. Those with larger amounts I would bring in.
If anyone blew a positive specimen of breath I would arrest them. That was the only traffic or minor offence I felt was absolute.
These figures are quite disturbing. We should not be putting so many people through the judicial system. Something is wrong.

I'm afraid Mr Brown and the self serving scum have ruined the police force.
