As Italian police officer (and so European) I am interested to see how is the work of other European police enforcements and I became passionate to watch the series "police interceptor" when I see it on Sky Channel - Italy The vision of the scenes has given me some doubts about the authenticity of the events but also gave to me a sense of solidarity, enthusiasm and almost envy. First I found that many rules of the road in Great Britain and Italy are almost identical with regard to the obligations, but differ in the nature and extent of the sanctions. I have understood that in Britain you have a lot of criminal offenses, which can lead to the arrest immediately. In Italy…

Anyone watched? http://www.channel4.com/programmes/going-to-the-dogs I'm absolutely shocked... Not as much at the dog fighting itself (it's much worse than shown in the programme) but at the fact the programme tried to justify dog fighting by saying that's part of certain cultures + we hurt other animals anyway and so it's OK to do it!!! I also found it absolutely unbelieveable how they manipulated the actions of police by showing it was bad that the dogs were destroyed after being seized from the owners!
