A reasonable job, yes. The UK's accident statistics compare well with those of other countries. But they could do better, if given the resources. But they're not going to get those extra resources any time soon, so perhaps it's best not to waste their time.

i can tell that's in reference to me, calling up over what bread to buy is wasting police time, reporting crimes no matter how small is not. A crime is a crime at the end of the day, as people say its up to the police how to approach and list its urgency! If not one reports the police dont know. As i said before a majority of rapes go unreported and the police cant do anything about it as they dont know. Unless rapes a minor crime? Is reporting wasting police time? Alot go down to he said she said.

Matt, you've apologised for publishing those views, yet in the same breath admitted that they are your truthful opinions of Welsh people. So what are you apologising for exactly?

Being caughtout by voicing them?

 

[classic33]

Under what grounds!

You saw a crime being committed. Downside to that is you then have to take them to the police, not the police out to take them from you.

I APOLOGISE.

As others have been saying, that is not an apology given what you said.

Cycling Dan, have been in a similar situation as you gave earlier, where you were left feeling as though you were in the wrong. I'd say that the only difference is I was following up on what was at the time an active case. He was the "officer in charge of the investigation". Followed being hit by a car, drunk driver thought I was actually a bus, so it was safe to pull out.

Accident statistics dont prove the police are doing a good job. I'd expect insurance costs to be a better correlation!

that does not make sense in reference to arresting somone. Also i dont understand who i would arrest and what for.

So going by your a crime is a crime, have ever recorded a fellow cyclists doing anything illegal and did you report them, otherwise i would say your motives are preduijced

You said you saw someone break the law, that person should be the one you arrest & for the offence you say that they have committed.

The fact is i never see many cyclists... people do cycle ive seen them but going the other way. I don't have much interaction if any with other cyclists. The fact is reporting a cyclist jumping red lights would be a waste of police time unless an officer was there on seen, as there is nothing identifiable on the cyclist. i would quite literally be saying the person was on a bike and that's it... Great farking job Mr member of the public you narrowed it down to 13million possible people.
If i seen someone jump the lights and there was an officer, sure i would make it know to an officer if there was one near me.. maybe waiting at the light. i hope the prick gets a ticket. Im next to the prick jumping the lights and then every person near me thinks oh look another cycling dickhead going to jump lights and doing other cycling shoot..
If there is not an officer i cant report it but i sure as hell make my opinion clear. Although its never happened yet.

i didn't though ? If this was to the mobile phone guy, to my knowledge the its not an arrest-able offence, then if it is leads to another question... how the fark do i get him out his car? bash the window out with my hands and cling to his car as he tries to drive away?

I'll answer yes to that. There is an idiot who takes great delight in flying across the road, often at speed with no regard for those using the road legally or the pavement which he mounts on the far side of the road. He got it wrong/misjudged it once & rode into a brick base built around a tree.

That would be upto you & you would have to choose what your actions were going to be fairly fast.

Clinging on to the bonnet with the windscreen wipers smacking you in the face!

i didnt realise how funny that bit of imagery was until i read it back.

Was a joke, could do with a sarcasim smily

I don't see anyone wasting police time.
