Cops do nothing about my neighbour

I am in my twenties and have just recently bought a house in ‘quiet area’; at least that was how the estate agent described it when I was looking for a house.  The issue of crime and the police wasn’t even discussed.

I have been here for eleven months now, and have had police visits more often than I care to remember.  My neighbours make the guys from Shameless (channel four comedy/drama) look like royalty.  Only yesterday, the dole scrounging scumbag kindly put his foot through my living room window.  The only suggestion I have for this kind of behaviour is that he thought we might need some air-con or something.

A pair of hand cuffs

For these last eleven months they have mentally tortured us and made living here absolute hell.  However, my gripe isn’t with these people, it’s with the police who fail to act.  Every time we call them out, what do they do?  Absolutely nothing!  They hand out warnings and turn their backs on us.

Not only am I paying for the dole scrounging moron scumbag to live next door to me through my taxes, but I am also paying for a bunch of useless coppers that would rather wait for me to cave my neighbours’ head in than actually do something about him!

No wonder people flip out and kill their neighbours after months of abuse, and no wonder people take the law into their own hands.  What choice do they have when the police will do absolutely nothing?

And on the subject of the police, how about some respect?

I was in a petrol station in the evening and I heard the crackle of a police radio.  There was an officer looking at the magazines.  I noticed that he had a goatee beard and the "non-beard" part of his face had some stubble.

He caught my eye and said, “Alright mate?”

1. Surely a police officer shouldn't wear stubble?
2. Why was he browsing magazines when on duty?
3. I think that the more formal "hello sir" would have been more appropriate.

I have heard police officers complain about a general "lack of respect".  I say that you reap what you sow.

How can anyone make comments about the police, especially as they have access to the most advanced covert surveillance equipment. Computers -automated internet survaeillance, your cell phone used as a tracking devise or to be listened into, Motion Camera for surveillance monitoring every physical movement and data profiling via access to the internet. Even putting comments on this site could be trouble for me and the rest of the family.

I have a relative who is being watched night and day (and has been for the last 3 years) - every movement she makes has been noted. I have seen his statement which confirms this. This is not the behavour of a normal neighbour!! For example he states that my sister looks agressively at him and his family. What,s that mean?

This should come under the heading neighbour dispute but it certainly does not. My sister has to refer to him in any correspondence, verbal or written, as Mr but if he were just a neighbour he would be told by the police that it is a civil matter and that he should get a solicitor and not bother the police again. He has had the police round 5 times but when my sister asked for help all she got was "come in to the station". Previous neighbours have had problems with him and she knows how she how they were treat.

I fear for my sisters health and well being. She is trying to make a stand against a serving Police officer who thinks he is in command of the estate and all who reside on it. HELP.
Where can anyone turn? The IPCC referred my sister back to the Police to deal with the problem. Nothing came of that attempt at resolving the problem. Mr !!!! is trying to make my sister a "Hostage to Fortune".

I would like to think that the police are on the side of truth but I am sadly losing all faith in the Criminal Justice System.

I've been where you are and to an extent still am. I have a maisonette and am on the ground floor. Unfortunately, the man who owns the above property lets his out to people who are unfortunate enough not to have a job shall we say. The problem with this is that they don't tend to keep the same social hours as me and whilst I am at work from early morning to early evening. They are going to bed when I go to work and getting up when I get back. The last set of neighbours had the police round 4 times due to complaints from all of the neighbours about noise and parties and undesirable people hanging about at all hours. One of them even tried to throw a recycling box full of bottles at me. When the police came, they did nothing despite my terrible state of distress. I said "so basically, I have to be harmed for you to do something" and they said, "sadly, yes". They were very nice but as soon as they'd gone, my neighbours were stamping on the floor and shouting obscenities. It was hell!

Sorry but when I read this "the dole scrounging scumbag kindly" I actually just stopped reading. You sir, are no better than people who call people who are not of your skin colour "Niggers" or "Chinks" and you are no better than people who order women to make them a sandwhich. Good day to you.

Ask your MP or local councillor for help with this and put in a complaint to the nearest Police HQ

Hope that helps

I fully agree!!!

I have called the cops SEVERAL times about people doing drugs in my alley. I dont live in a bad part of town but I am next to a high school. The kids that ditch walk down my alley and "hang-out" smoking/doing drugs. Calling the cops is pointless.... after I call, it takes like 4 hours before the cops call me back to tell me they have someone on the way.... are you kidding??? By then, the kids are long gone.

Well, today, one of the kids decided to start throwing rocks. He threw one into my backyard and it hit one of my cars. He's throwing rocks while passing the joint back and forth... I asked them to leave my alley and they all laughed at me. So, I called the cops... AGAIN. It's been 3 hours, the kids left about an hour and half ago and still NOTHING.

So when is enough enough?? Even if the cops just drove down the alley and "shoo-ed" them all off, it would be better then nothing. Because they never do anything, the kids think they can get away with it.

I have given them enough warning that I will take matters into my own hands. They can see how many times I have called about this, and they don't seem to care. Is this REALLY what my tax dollars pay for???

Norbet,
Sorry you're experiencing this kind of crap. I hope it get's better for you. We too, faced the attitude of the authorities siding with the "problem" family, as if we should not dare complain. I am sure that these people realise this and use it to their own advantage. Best of luck..
