Would you report people to the police for for breaking the conditions of the Covid 19 lockdown

Lots of things we do on here must be baffling to new people. They catch up.

I'm here a long time and didnt get the snitches reference.

Ah...I see... some clever word plays there..

Eta went quiet in 2020.

gonna have a speedcore party at mine alone tomorrow, let's see if i get mentioned on this forum when someone calls up old billy boy, really looking forward to it.

cos all this is just 1990s middle aged panic about ravers given a new sheen, mans just like to delude themselves it's about loads of people congregating...

For the time being - it wouldn't take much for it to be kick started - typically a "1%'er" turns up and off we'd go again

The alternate solution would have been to petrol bomb the marquee and let the situation resolve itself after that.

many many years

He said correction officers involved in clashes often strike agreements to “squash the incident,” while prisoners who consider reporting battles with other inmates are dissuaded by the jailhouse maxim that “snitches get stitches.”

Och I know.

 

[Jay Park]

Wonder how many who employ that maxim and voted no hit the report button on here?

 

[Ax^]

hit the report button for what?

 

[Ax^]

oh sorry are you thinking you got a ban for being controversial or just not reading the room?

did I use a personal pronoun?

 

[Ax^]

did we always have a report button

and also snitches get stiches

 

[Jay Park]

The vote is heavily weighted against calling the pigs if you see people breaking lockdown rules. I would like to know how many of those 104 people snitch on here.

 

[Jay Park]

apparently so yeah, or pool balls in socks, or boiling water with sugar

being honest i'd be surprised at anyone having faith in a police response unless it was a massive party or being a famous name

the police have already said ballocks to that

as they did during the national lockdown

maybe if they had not wasted billions via mates and Serco

wasn’t there

couldn’t tell you

are you in the uk jay

during lockdown i was driving a modified mini cooper s with an exhaust that made it sounds like a v8,

but was classified as a key worker

was pulled over about the same amount of time as i normally was

police are interested in criminals not people dropping off food to their mom

no

were you alone in your motor each time?

would dropping off food to your Mum be classified as breaking lockdown restrictions?

why would you put one of those exhausts on your car?

 

[ManchesterBeth]

yeah this thread is just I'm against all ruling class authority showing how very un-authoritarian they are. Police did not give a rats arse about massive VE day parties happening in landan town. And why would they. Churchill can defeat the pandemic and resurrect the dead (from his grave.)

 

[Jay Park]

So we police ourselves

Community policing. Leftists love that. Good thing I'm not a leftist.

 

[Ax^]

the police are to busy atm because its most likely the easiest time to arrest people in the last 80 years

are they guys out in a club, pub , restaurant , music venue, hotel or at each others house or at home

don't think even the right are allowed at the pub

the rightist hate that

now you’ve drawn the line in the sand, what would be or is your answer?

 

[Jay Park]

No, but that isn't to say I am ok with people out and about right now flouting what we need to do to end this epidemic. I feel as if some people don't understand the way it works. If the virus can live for 2 to 3 weeks at most on surfaces and with what is known currently about incubation and infectious periods then what we all need to do without any exceptions or mitigating circumstances is stay the fuck indoors for 1 month without going to the beach, or on a walk, or bringing kids to see their other co-parent, or going out for an hour of exercise, or to the shops, then that would end the fucking thing in a month because it wouldn't be able to spread.

I don't want to live in a police state though, I'd rather people stopped fucking whining about going to the park and sat in their god-damn fucking house for a month. I worked in epidemiology in animal health and we used to use 10km no-movement zones (that is anything within 10km of an outbreak is not allowed to move from where it is currently, not you are ok to move within that 10km) and a 3km cull zone around any identified case. The latter would clearly be unethical, but ffs please self impose a no-movement order on your fucking selves until this is over and we will all get through it quicker and with fewer deaths.

dunno how it got past this tbh

 

[Humberto]

There needs to be force, on who's behalf though?

 

[ManchesterBeth]

something to do with gunpowder, can't say anymore on here but I'm sure you get the drift. and a guillotine, as well.

Never let anyone be mistaken. I am anti police but I embrace pitiless terror.

Batman then?
