Plod Watch

That rather strange entity known as Milton Keynes suffered yet another serious crime incident in the early hours of new years day.
A mini -cab driver rang 99 to report that his taxi had been stolen by a group of passengers travelling the vehicle. Police later found the vehicle and on officer was seriously injured when the driver attempted a getaway. Five people have been arrested and the mini-cab owner has been charged with overloading a vehicle. Plods are appealing for witnesses but haven't stated whether they require them for the theft of the overloading.

Freedom of information requests have revealed that more than 900 serving employed police officers and PCSOs have criminal records that range from burglary to perverting the course of justice.
I suppose that nobody is surprised although I remember a time in near past when having a conviction for dangerous driving could prevent a person from having a licence to serve alcohol. Times are changing too damned fast.

G whatever demos.

Good news on the airwaves today. Twenty people have been charged with offences of brutal violence, thuggery, and breaches of the peace following the G whatever demonstrations in London.

Well that takes care of the police, now, what about the demonstrators?
