Have a look at the number of crimes reported in your county each day, then look how many officers are employeed by your local force.....and people expect the police to come round everytime there is a crime....IT IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh uh.
Which is why they lose respect when they arrest someone for calling a horse gay, or someone for self defence against a burgler, or endlessly chasing motorists who went 35 in a 30 zone!!!!!!
They choose to spend some of their time going for easy targets rather than real criminals.
THE NUMBER IS NOT ISSUED FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES like some people think.
Hurrr Durrr.
If they don't actually arrive to the site or do any investigative work, then what else can it be for, oh that's right, for their forms.
