Why didn't I think of that?



Seriously? It's come to this in the UK? Perhaps if there were stiff penalties and the threat of an armed homeowner, police wouldn't have to embarass themselves like this.

Holy crap! I hope my Chief doesn't see that video.

Ian said...

That WPC is heading for a ASBO for making such a racket.

Lawyer said...

This would be funny if it weren't so sad.

So, instead of investigating the crime, the police should be telling law abiding citizens to lock themselves in from the world?

I just have no words... But I am sure there is a less expensive way than having 3 cops walk around and harang the village idiots to lock their windows and doors from the "chupacabra or the "cocooie". - Officer

Reminds me of the old days in the UK when the Bobbys had a billy club and a whistle!

"Stop...or I'll TOOT"!

That was always "effective"...the perp started laughing his ass off, and was caught.

I'm not in that cop's area (thank god, I was squirming just watching it over on IG's blog) and so far our local force hasn't tried this.

Probably just as well - there are a lot of shift workers round here who'd take exception to being woken up and told to lock their doors.

It makes me ashamed, really it does. It's getting harder to love this country every day.

I'm glad they have the man power to walk around with a horn. Our
city's budget - Not so lucky.
