what do the police do all day?

I swear I got nicked for drunk and disorderly once for that very reason.

I was "a little wobbly" going home from the pub one night in London. Cop care pulls up. "we've had complaints about a man matching your description etc etc"

all bollocks. the coppers just wanted to pop back to the station for a cuppa. And the bastards let me out just before they would have had to give me breakfast. Bastards.
1995. Walking from Finsbury Park to crouch end in the evening with some friends. We're well lubricated and scrapping among ourselves. Then two of us want to go to 7-11 and the other two back to a flat for more drinking. The two going back to the flat get stopped by the cops - reports of four young men causing mayhem. But there's only two of us, officer. Probably the best detour to sevs I ever made
 
I'm sure we've all seen the shield and know how bad cops can still get results. The plod who framed the Craigavon 2, the Tottenham 3, the Guildford 4 and the Birmingham 6 all received plaudits for their efforts. The notion that good cops can be discerned for the cases they solve is so obviously arrant wank I'm astonished anyone would have the gall to seriously suggest it
You missed out the Famous Five.

Driving a cop car with blues and twos on? :eek:

maybe not the thread for it but the news from Wales that the 2 kids were getting chased by cops but when thru some bollards just before a road junction and got hit by a bus

means the police were not chasing them at the moment they died is pissing me off atm
more so after they lied about following them in the first place



quite sure the police investigation will find the police as completely not fault

no wonder the population of that town have no faith in the police

:mad:
 
I was walking back from a friend's house, about 11pm one night, cop car pulls up. I keep walking. They get out and block my path, asked to see some ID. The only thing I had on me was my bank card which I showed them, and to my surprise their attitude completely changed to more pleasant. When asked why I was stopped they said I matched the description of a 15 year old reported missing, and they realised I wasn't her when I produced a debit card.

I was 22 at the time. I absolutely did not look 15.

It's being discussed on the Filth by name thread, in some detail.

It's as well I am between employers at present because keeping up with collating police misdeeds on that thread is becoming an all-consuming task.
 
I have mixed feelings tbh, having being treated badly by some, arrested - strip searched etc where they have behaved like complete aresholes. On the other hand when I have had to call them due to being burgled or a mate going missing they have been really good and professional.

I don't think the average copper thinks they are a defender of the oppressor mind, but the system they operate in defaults to that. Also interesting in that policing was seen as a working class profession, historically at least.
 
we all know that the police have given up pretty much all pretence of investigating vast swathes of crime like mugging, most sexual offences, burglary, phone theft etc. you almost never see them doing what looks like work - they're either driving about or going to or from cafes and kebab shops. what do they actually do all day?
The police protect fellow authoratarians. That's what they spend their time doing.

In the UK. But iirc, many police around the world had less grounded beginnings.

Much more varied in the US. Again, iirc, the origins of their police forces came from slave patrols in the South and strike breakers?

Protection of property seemed to be the priority.
 
Hack my internet. Walk around on my flat roof at night. Purposefully set their sirens at 5am exactly outside my property in the morning to wake me up on purpose. Follow me around every time I go out both inside and outside my property. Wait for me outside on purpose.

Stuff like that
 
Everything other than the things they were employed to do. Things such as er policing, solving crime, following procedure and daft stuff like that. Tampering with evidence and constructing false staements is .A quick look at some porn before avoiding areas where crime is rife, another quick shuftie at the porn then harrass some school kids at the local chip shop. Antagonise the local street drinkers for an easy nick and easy afternoon in the custody suite and bobs your uncle another shuftie at some porn.
 
Don't wish to lessen your concerns, but why would they be doing all that?

Fuck knows. They think I'm involved in drug dealing or something stupid like that. Complaints have been made and met with silence/cover ups.

Some of them hate me for some weird reason and rent a flat two doors away from me.

True story. The wankers shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

I'm preparing a complaint with the investigatory powers tribunal.

You're not that important.
 
You're I'm not that important but that has been happening. I have my suspicions why but I'm not going into them.

it was LDC's apparent assertion that that sort of thing only happens to important people that i found strange. for example, delroy lindo, a campaigner for the tottenham three and winston silcott in particular, was subject to great police harassment despite not being particularly important in the scheme of things. Silcott campaigner complains of harassment police harassment happens to lots of people, and saying 'you're not that important' imo belittles that experience.

Didn't really know where to post this, but I went to this excellent, depressing and moving exhibition of stories of deaths (in custody) at the hands of the state in Railton road today ...and wandering back through the park thought of this thread. The exhibition only has a couple of days to go so, if you're interested, get along sharpish.

A small number. Over the past couple of years more than 120 Sussex cops have been found to have committed misconduct. It's not that small a number. Exact number of Sussex Police officers investigated for misconduct since 2020 the devil finds work for idle hands
120 out of 560 facing allegations....i think the number acutally guilt as opposed to let off is closer 560, and thats where theyve been caught out and reported, so the actual number will be much much higher than that
 
I deleted my post as I looked at his posting history and decided my comments wouldn't be helpful, so that's why, not running away or avoiding anything.

Honestly fuck this place sometimes.
