Police Harassment or more of the same please?

[Mr_annie_vxr]

Nice town has a problem with a small 'gang' of kids. They are dealt with but recently have bubbled up with a younger generation. A number of arrests for assaults and damage over a few days, all to random people, but gang are still about. Officers spend 6 hours on a shift targeting one of the gang, follow him round ( I mean about four steps behind him) move them on, follow to his mates houses, drive behind him and his gang to the point they leave him and he keeps running off but being found again and is almost in tears moaning about the Police Harassment and demanding officers numbers, ringing his mum and saying they will be complaining.

Now same again until he changes his conduct or evil Police Harassment?

Wear

1. Black trousers
2. Black shirts and jackets
3. Black boots
4. Black full face balaclava.

Then, "lift" said scrote, take him out into the woods somewhere, and advise him he'll never see home again if he doesn't promise to behave from that point on.......And of course, make it clear that he will be watched, and if he steps outta line, back to the woods he'll come, one last time...

How many officers are we talking here doing this for 6 hours?

And you've targetted one of a gang of children?

Does this strike you as good use of public money?

[odyssey2200]

what has scroat done?

I agree with this to an extent.
The question is when do you stop doing it?

when is enough?

[grumbledoak]

Theoretically, this is getting close to harassment.

Pragmatically, assuming he has form, and provided this is relatively short term (i.e. one day), no issue here; it may make him think about his ongoing actions. Any longer, and I would have issues.

Choose the subject carefully...

[odyssey2200]

If this works on said scroat then OK but

When someone starts to complain about those noisey sports cars do we get followed around?


A danger of thin end of wedge if we are not careful

[Jasandjules]

If that one is a ringleader... And IF you then move onto the next one in the list....... Then yes, I suspect that is a good use of resources.. And I bet the locals think so too.. Giving the little s**ts a taste of their own medicine is exactly what is needed.

[Seesure]

Harrass the little gits, that's fine.

Instead lets use more of the motorists billions that disappear in to the government coffers to fund more beat bobbies who should then target the little stes and hound them until they become human beings.

This country is too wrapped up in it's own a4se of political correctness and giving the effluent of humanity a place in society.

Say 2 officers. Aged 16-18 so not what I call children. Past week they have assaulted a disabled guy (for a laugh) shot someone with an air pistol, thrown a rock at somebodies head (person unknown to them) and done a robbery.

All within say within seven days and the local kids live on fear of the 'gang'.

If you know all this, WHY THE fk are you only following them around?
They should be behind bars FFS

This is hypothetical.. but they have all been arrested for all offences but only charged for one on bail enquiries for the others (although all have done the offences in question)

Locked up... have you ay idea how hard it is to get an under 18 year old into prison?

I'm happy with it, but i suppose the anti-police will be jumping up and down about it turning in to a police state etc etc (fill in your own anti-police rantings) this country needs to get tought with anti-social behaviour, and that means targetting people BEFORE they do st

[711]

More of the same please; some individuals are just plain feral, so staying on their case is justified I think.

As motorists, we're already being followed around by a plethora of civil service manned cameras, so the real scrotes might as well get the same treatment.

Besides, everyone appreciates a bit of personal service

[Chrispy Porker]

It's not that long ago that courts would not stipulate a doorstep condition on residential bail conditions, in case it infringed human rights.
Any bail conditions?

[Greendubber]

Sounds like they need a CRASBO slapping on them.

Tie em dowm with one of them, I've done a few and they're excellent!. Free's much needed bobbies up too.

[mark69sheer]

What a ferkin state to get into.

At what stage will he get a good hiding?

From his dad..who's he?
From the police....not with human rights..
From one of his victims...unlikely unless they want to be arrested..

so we have children making adults look stupid...

this is a very very st country.

I take it that despite all the vandalism and disruption somehow he hasn't actually done something he could be arrested for like walking 1 mph over the limit...

Probably has commited an arrestable offence, but why arrest someone? Much better to follow the person round till they make a fineable offence

[MonkeyWrench]

I applaud this. It's nice to see the police targeting the real problems for once - plus giving them a taste of their own medicine into the bargain. Deal with 'em now, before they move on to become murderers or whatever, not just petty thugs.

A pig farm or flooded quarry are probably better than woods and black or chainsaw gloves should be worn. Use a black Mondeo without plates for bonus points.

Good effort!
