UK Justice still the best you can afford.

Seems our police are getting their knickers in a twist over people actually pleading not guilty and being found not guilty. Read more here. The b4$^4&ds.

So much so that they are loading the costs for prosecution with lawyers and useless police paperwork so much that each prosecution will cost another £4K. This means that if you please not guilty and lose your costs will now come into the thousands. So only the rich can afford to take the risk. Weigh up a £250 fine and five points against a £250 fine, five points and £4.5K costs.

This is forcing people into a situation where justice is not served. Innocent people will elect to plead guilty just in case they lose as the costs will be too high.

In addition I liked the statement 'police say they will be keeping a close eye on drivers who they think have been wrongly acquitted of crimes'. Translated that means the police will wait until there are two police officers in a car with only the driver in the other car. The police will then prosecute him for dangerous driving and he won't have a leg to stand on. Teach him to dare argue against us.

And the police wonder why they are hated so much by the public. Well to all the good coppers out there, and they outweigh the bad, it's these bad apples in your midst. A bit like we are saying that our peaceful muslims need to do something about the bad ones. The police are exactly in the same situation. The police don't do anything yet expect the muslims to because, you know, it is the right thing to do. Heal yourself physician.

I hope the first act of David Davies as Home Secretary will be to summon all the Chief Constables with Sociology and Zoology degrees and fire them.

I don't have anything against Zoologists, mind. It's just that it would be a shame to miss the chance to release that exotic beast Richard Brunstrom BSc (Zoology) back into the wild.

His second act should be to remind the remaining handful of Chief Constables that they are public servants and that they should shut the **** up, because their political speeches merely undermine public confidence in their neutrality.

His third act should be to direct his civil servants to draft a "Criminal Justice Reform Act" which abolishes every crime created since New Labour took office in 1997.

His fourth should be to direct the sale by public auction of all desks and chairs presently occupied by police officers below the rank of Chief Inspector and of the office space they now occupy. With the proceeds he should arrange to purchase many small buildings for use as neighbourhood and village police stations.

Then he should focus for the rest of his time in office on relentlessly pressuring the police to improve perfomance in enforcing crimes which existed in 1890. Whey they have achieved 99% efficiency at that, they can start to enforce later laws, one decade at a time.

Sound like a good programme for action?

Tom that does sound good. I must admit I had not thought about the last two but the make sense. The main laws have been in place for a very long time.

Only caveat I would give is that even those without 'filler' degrees may be subject to exec *cough* dismissal depending on thier own actions where they do have control. Can't blame everything on central government.

I doubt any of our useless politicians will have the guts to do this.

How about simply replacing Chief Constables with elected local sheriffs. Nobody, not even a Tofu eating Guardian reading, social worker would vote for the shower of useless gits that currently run the show. Policing would be forever, a common sense, catch the crooks kind of business.

Although, Tom's approach does have a lot going for it. (Though by rights, Ian Blair should be held down and shot, its only fair)
