1. I thought that was all done by computer now, or is the computer short handed too?
2. Yeah right. That'll work then. Soon as you tackle anyone, they beat you up and kill you. Super.
3. Probably an embelishment of the facts if not it would be "Vote fascism for a society of total law enforcement, Inform on family and friends, fabulous prizes to be won!"
4. I know of a couple who go walking on a Sunday afternoon taking note of any cars in the area with out of date tax discs and reporting them accordingly
5. i realy dont know why we bother with our happless police force. its time it was disbanded and we all contracted out in our seperate areas. at least then WE would have control, clearly the police are just government lackys with no power. no credibility. NO BLOODY USE!!!
6. This has been going on for years it is called neighbourhood watch among other things and for the info of Rommel the UK police are controlled locally that's why we have police authorities and different police forces.
7. Haaa haaa..Ive got neighbours near me who look out for out of date tax discs.....they didnt need to be asked to do it...theyve just got nothing better to do....
8. whats the point in patrolling the streets lookinh out of date tasks disks, when they could do it from a computer!?
9. This worries me. We are getting into the informer mindset and before long children will be reporting their parents for having deviant political opinions. Laugh now but it has happened before in USSR and Nazi Germany and now in China will happen in UK if this government continues. It is not a shortage of police that is the trouble it is poor time management of those we do have who are forced to write endless reports to satisfy Governmett targets
10. I hope they give them a reduction on their council tax then!!!
11. Whay TF should we, we're not getting paid for it, plus I couldn't give a shite if somebody had an out of date tax disk!
12. Well that is charming what next patroling to see if our windows are clean!!!!!!! They must be getting paid because who in the right mind goes round writing down number oh sorry train spoters lol
13. Well that's put paid to all the DVLA adverts saying "there is no place to hide........." Another wasted campaign used by the tax payers money!!!!!!!!!!
14. Kimmy's answer is exactly the same as mine country !!
15. What a cheek?
16. Reason too bone idle or too stupid i know of a man that as not paid road fund licence for about a year right under the police stations nose the van was parked outside the police station for two days no ticket not crushed ( Stupid or just not bothered )
17. Okay. Let`s say you do report a crime, and the person you reported finds out it was you and approaches you. A fight ensues and you put him/her in hospital. The stupid police would arrest you for assault. Pointless, truly bloody pointless police in this country.
18. I thought that the DVLA had spent millions of pounds of tax payer's money installing a computer that "knows" when your tax disc is out of date so the tv adverts tell us. Is this another lie from this inept government.
19. I thought the DVLA know when you tax disc was out of date, it's all on computer, why use 'Joe Public' I can understand watching out for criminals, that's what neighbourhood watch do.
20. they got to get someone do there job most of them sit in the station eating biscuits and drinking tea
