It was only on Tuesday that I said to a colleague that you don't hear of many ram raids any more. I guess it's to do with the newer types of security features they have around buildings and then this popped up. "I broke" is certainly no excuse for something like this! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/8274635.stm

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090924/tuk-p...sh-2c0ffe7.html Police have decided not to prosecute Craig Bellamy over the clash with a fan on the pitch. Here's the video of the incident http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHMijvxxXBA A fan runs onto the pitch and is tackled to the ground by a steward. 3 other stewards are there with a second or two. The fan is lifted up with one steward pinning both his arms behind his back, a steward holding each of forearms and the forth steward standing close by. Bellamy walks over to the fan whilst he is restrained and shoves him in the face. Now, personally, I would have said that is common assault. Granted, the fan shouldn't have g…

Complaints against Essex Police increased by more than a third in the past year, compared with a rise of 8% nationally, a watchdog has said. Statistics released by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) show there were 908 complaint cases recorded between 2008 and 2009.

The force received 543,964 calls to its control room and attended more than 447,000 incidents during the period looked at by the IPCC, a statement added. "Essex Police has a committed and enthusiastic workforce …

Source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/24/met_apology/ A Reg contributor who was unlawfully arrested and had his home PCs inspected by the Met has received an apology from the police after four years. David Mery was wearing a coat "too warm for the season" and was carrying a laptop - according to the police who arrested him at Southwark Tube station, the day after the second wave of London bombings in 2005. The Police made a search under the Prevention of Terrorism Act but having found nothing suspicious and Mery co-operative, were set to release him.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/2...e-jungle-calais Police drag away 278 camp dwellers, nearly half of them minors, who had been sleeping rough hoping to stow away on lorries to Britain French Police seem to get away with far more then our Police do here. They seem happy to beat the crap out of some, and no one bats an eyelid. give someone a gentle nudge here, and it`s splashed all over the papers. MAYBE we should take a leaf out of the French Police books.
