Tough on crime, but not if it happened over a year ago

[SirGalahad]

So Raab admits that if you commit a crime, lie low for a year and you will get away.

Raab, "The police don't normally look back and investigate things that have taken place a year ago"

Astonishing.

The party of Law & Disorder.

Yep, I have first hand experience. Some low life scum drug dealer assaulted my one lunch time (he was off his head) and I reported it, nothing happened.
Some time later he threatened to rape a schoolgirl, and also assaulted a pensioner. The police put up a message saying if anybody else has anything to report please do so, so they can put a case together. I reminded them of my case, and the response "oh, that was too long ago now". A little over a year. At the time I reported it, the police said if they could ID him they would press charges.
Time wasters. The guy is still out and about dealing.

I don't suppose you see the oxymoron in your comment.

The violation can be physically violent in nature,

Way my mind works, I'd have to say, "So if I find and murder the git, and bury his body for at least a year, I'm home free am I?"

Can't help it...

I'd by lying if I said the thought had not occurred to me! Well, thoughts more on the murdering, less on the disposal of the body and my defence in court.

Do you not have a Police Commissioner? Write a letter of complaint to him/her and you will get action - I do and it is very effective. They are elected representatives and need your vote to stay put.

Bet they look forward to your letters

 

[motorbiking]

Not really a government thing, the police have had strange KPIs for the last 20 years. Its the old measure what is important not what is measurable

 

[Notch7]

The illegal Tory Christmas party was less than a year ago, so I presume Raab is saying they will investigate and throw the ones guilty in jail

Not always the case. If you've said something perceived as racist on the Internet 16 years ago they will throw the book at you.

(Although this only applies to white people).

Isn't it still an unsubstantiated claim from an anonymous source. How do you prosecute on that basis?

 

[mattylad]

I call BS on the whole idea of this thread.

Only recently murderers from 20+ years ago have been caught etc.

 

[transam]

Them 2 police officers got 3 years

??? for what half a dozen pics


Seems a bit harsh to me
