• Police: 3000 burglaries a day NFA

    Police: 3000 burglaries a day NFA

    Due to lack of resources the police in E&W are closing more than a million cases of burglary and theft every year with NFA after the initial report.

    This is the time to ask the question as to whether the police can afford to follow up on ‘cases’ where a driver has not collided with a cyclist.

    Freeing up these officers would mean they could be deployed on at least a
    basic follow-up to a report of a burglary or theft report, as it is known
    that once burgled, the chances of a repeat of the crime is a staggering
    25%, and effective action can be taken to mitigate against this, especially when police officer offers advice on countermeasures. At present,
    conviction rates are very low.

    It’s time the police stopped pussy-footing about with non-crimes like ‘close passes’ and tackled real issues.

    No-one *with* a brain and *without* a perverted personal agenda could
    possibly disagree with that.

    And as if to prove the point: Mad Mason will disagree with it.

    Especially where the video evidence is clearly flawed if not faked.

    And no-one mentions the mechanism by which the alleged ‘close pass’ distance is determined. It just seems to be rule of thumb.

    Exactly.

    Without knowing the relative positions, angle of camera etc, not to mention being sure the data hasn’t been doctored, the video should not be trusted.

    Plus, why does the ‘close pass’ rule not apply both ways? It should prevent a cyclist squeezing between lines of cars, between cars and the
    kerb, plus ( of course) when they take to the pavement.
