Heard on the news yesterday that in the last year sixteen women had been mudered by their violent parteners and, although the police were informed of the potential danger, no action had been taken. Later in the day I read that a man, who had trimmed a garden bush to the shape of male genitalia eight years earlier, was visited by a policeman who threatened to charge him with a public order offence because one person had complained. I might add that this was in the same police area where the police had failed to keep adequate records about a man who later murdered two poor little girls.
It would appear that I am such a dangerous character that it took two policemen to threaten me with an on the spot fine for putting up some posters in the village warning of a dangerous dog on the loose. The neighbours were grateful: the dog owner was not. I refused to pay any fine and told them to take me to court and I would defend the charge.
All the police seem interested in is getting their conviction numbers up by as many charges as possible, never mind if it's the wrong person. They also prefer to go for easy targets, such as dope smokers, naturists and the like rather than pursue potentially dangerous criminals; after all they might get hurt!
