A child had a strop and threw a jar of food on the floor, the police labelled this criminal damage and I'm the victim as it was my jar.

If you were in a shop I'd say it wasn't your jar unless you were the shop owner . . .

I'm not a victim and I didn't ask to be registered as a victim. I'm just a convenient stat for the police to say 'look how good we are compared to last year', they don't give a toss about what a victim wants if it isn't the same as they want.

Target led policing, corrupting a force near you soon.
I'm assuming this only happens at the end of a successful prosecution?

Please write more!! I mean, a child having a strop and becoming criminal damage? I guess it wasn't a very small child??

I won't go into too much detail as it's not all about me, I didn't call them and that's all there was to it. They wanted to log a crime and did so, the PC had to call his inspector to ask permission not to make an arrest as the force has a compulsory arrest policy. They really are pathetic.
One day this will be really funny for me as well but for now I have to live near these twats.

Yet they get criticised for being soft. Can't win.

The district, not all forces have the same policy. They are like bed bugs, you know they are always nearby and just hope you can avoid them.

Forcing police officers to ask permission to act lawfully will encourage them to act unlawfully, this is just to drive up crime numbers and not the slightest bit of help to the public.

Watching on the big telly and the ad comes on.

Cue 20 odd stone of Rottweilers going from fast asleep to all out war in 0.5 seconds.

Thanks Amazon.

Just had an email from Brittany Ferries, because of adverse weather conditions my sailing from Santander is leaving early tomorrow. That'll be 24 hours in the cabin trying to avoid being sea sick. :sick:

In faireness I am one of the lucky ones...the only time I have felt weird like that was after 36 hours on a tunnel tug, and it was just a matter of the towpath goimg up and down...5 days on the north sea in a small boat, no probs.
