A short thread for everyone moaning about the Police giving people tickets. I think we (you) need an insight into the realities of what some of the other members of Great British public are like. If you think everyone we deal with is normal like you, you are sadly mistaken.
The people we routinely meet call the Police because they have had an argument over the TV remote. They solve minor disputes in the shops by headbutting staff members. They dial 999 when KFC runs out of chicken. They drive their kids at 50 in a 30 with no seatbelt.
They leave a 4 year old looking after a 2 year old whilst they go to the pub. They think using racist language at members of the public isn't racist if their "baby father" is (insert any minority group). They think that "because my mates do" is a valid reason to carry a knife.
These are the people we are having to deal with, who are out every 5 minutes going back and forward to Sharon's flat cause she needs some facking fags roit, who's kids are out looking for people to rob, but claiming they are just on their bikes for exercise.
So when you hear about someone getting ticketed for buying easter eggs there is probably more to it because the public we deal with isn't like you. The public we deal with are like them.
