Crime has dropped by 50% in 20 years, but we have about the same number of police officers.
So they have to find more to do.
is BS
my 3 interactions with police in recent years
phone stolen from bag whilst on the bus( side pocket was unzipped and empty when I got home)
police insisted i fill out a property lost in the street form, refused to accept that it might of been stolen as I had no proof
camera stolen from delivery suite waiting for son to be born, then located on ebay
police wouldnt investigate unless i could get the seller to tell me the serial number as theyd just say ‘i bought it in good faith at a car boot sale’
wallet lost/stolen and cards used to buy stuff online, pizzas, ipads etc
policeman on duty- we dont investigate fraud were not really a proper station any more go to
fraud website,which basically said; if they reimburse you let the credit card company deal with it,
no wonder crime statistics are improving
