Police 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 wasnt 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.

For these last eleven months they have mentally tortured us and made living here absolute hell.  However, my gripe isnt with these people, its 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.

A pair of hand cuffs 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.

support, you said "they have let the public down ,thats why their numbers have been cut". That's just simply not true, on any level.

Their numbers have been cut because of a lack of funding from central government. The money to support the service simply isn't there! I don't know if you've noticed but the whole economy is suffering with a lack of money. Are you going to apply the same logic to libraries? After all, they're closing in droves as well. Did they let the public down too! Please, if you want to throw dirt then at least talk some sense. Comments like that just make you seem a bit foolish!

Whos johno to talk?the police are corrupt to a T! and we all know it ,Recently more and more stories are coming into the media about their corrupt ways.And I for one have been a victim of a malicious prosecution.They come round like the heavy mob ,give it the large -because they are on some sort of power trip!And guess what once my lawyer Mr Imran Khan got involved they s4att bricks .because Mr Khan knows them inside out & put them in their place.
They always try it on -look at the Baber Ahmed case ? beaten up! they have let the public down ,thats why their numbers have been cut & the legal system doubts them more then ever.Even judges dont trust them.

@Boblet. Im sorry that you've had such a bad experience of the police and I fully appreciate your point of view. Maybe one day somebody will provide you with a service your happy with. My only gripe here is that people dont seem to recognise that not all coppers are the same, and some of them do actually try to do a good job.

It may have been on another thread, or it may, hopefully, have been removed from this one, but there was a posting in which someone said that the police employed 'scum' or words to that effect. That is abuse, not criticism, and I'm sure you can appreciate the difference.

I did not say that you'd "suggested any infallibilty in our system of government." I said "if you think they are infallible" and it was thus hypothetical.

I see you are back for more turnip talk MikeP, What are those folk called who like to be abused? It will come to me no doubt. Is it Flagellants? I think they wear hair shirts. This country of mine is still civilised, I am not sure for how much longer when we have the likes of you trying to plant fear in peoples minds. “Dire retribution” “Subpoenas” “Beaten to a pulp” where are you from girl? Bless You

We appear to be at odds Johno, I certainly do not expect respect from the police. Good manners and a Job well done will suffice. My gripe is based on my experience of the plod? If it were a pat on the back site I would be patting those who deserve it on the back. To reiterate I have had no good experiences of the police whatsoever they have in all instances had a detrimental affect on my life. I mentioned in an earlier post that a senior copper had informed me quote “ You know Bob the police do not investigate crime anymore” unquote. Maybe that individual will read this post & recognise himself.

Mike P, please quote where I suggested any infallibilty in our system of government.

No one here has "abused" the police, they are criticising them.

Night Owl : That's drivel. It's nothing to do with the system of government, there is little to stop the police from literally taking the law into their own hands, finding the people who are abusing them, and taking action in their own way. You think there are checks and balances to prevent this, and there are, but if you think they are infallible and can't be bypassed, then you are in cloud cuckoo land.

"It says a lot for the UK police that you can get away with this type of statement with impunity."

I says nothing at all about the police. It says a lot about the system of government in this country, the one you usually profess to despise.

In some countries the defamatory remarks that some of you have made about the police force would be cause for legal action, the authorities would obtain a subpoena from your ISP for your details, and you'd end up in court. In other countries you'd end up beaten to a pulp.

It says a lot for the UK police that you can get away with this type of statement with impunity, and I hope that those of you who denigrate the police never have cause to ask for their assistance.

As for Boblet, I used to think that he suffered from an inferiority complex and jealousy. I have since come to realise that he doesn't suffer from an inferiority complex. Quite simply, he is inferior!

I believe I answered the original gripe and you have failed to understand the point that I was making. Since you cannot come up with a suitable response you have simply turned the attention on me when in fact I was making a valid arguement regardless of whether Im in favour of the police or not. You point at myself and Freddie for having non-productive blind faith however I think it is you who has not put forward a valid counter-arguement and your deposition like so many others has already been decided, it didnt really matter what I said or anyone else for that matter, you only posted on here to slag the police off. You want the police to respect you? Why should they when you dont give them a chance in the first place? Dont get me wrong Boblet, I appreciate having the discussion.

Johno. Maybe if you reread the original gripe and a few of the other comments, the waters might clear for you. It is non-productive backing the plod out of shear loyalty. Freddie is similar with his blind faith in our flawed police force.

So, what exactly is your point Boblet? Your saying 'how simple do you want it' I assume by that, your saying the police should be arresting suspects? Well, yes, I'm pretty sure I do know that, and I'm pretty sure thats what the Police do.

Johno/Freddie I realise you are died in the wool plod. So I will keep things simple. The CPS is trained to do a job. The judge is trained to do a job. The Plod are trained to do a job. Are we agreed so far? The plod disagreeing with any judicial verdicts or C.P.S decisions is academic. They are still paid to do a job. IE arrest suspects in order for our legal process to begin. I realise that you do not need to be the sharpest pencil in the case to join the plod, no qualifications are required, but come on boys how simple do you want it.

Johno
, how refreshing to hear from someone that is capable of telling the difference between the responsible authorities! You'll be amazed how often people blame the police for things which are nothing to do with them. They just don't understand the role and extent of the police authority so they just blame them rather than admit to their own ignorance. They'll also argue that black is White and detract the attention away from an argument they are losing by ignoring the issue and moving on to another fiction based criticism! Good luck, you're gonna need it!

I fail to see how thats dreaming up excuses. Its exactly their business on what the CPS chooses to do, since the police dont charge you, the CPS do, if the CPS say NO at the station, the police cant do anything, if the judge says NO to action in court, they have to let them go. How exactly do you want them to 'protect you'? What exactly do you expect them to do?

The police will blame anything & anyone in order to do nothing. It is not their business what the CPS does or the Judge does, they should still do the job they are paid to do. "PROTECT US" not sit on their fat @rses dreaming up excuses

Probably because the police can actually do nothing. Say they arrest the guy for criminal damage, they take him to the Crown Proscution Service who say 'No, not in the public interest to continue with this' and so they have let him go. So you call again, police turn up, arrest him, gets thrown out, or in your case they 'issue warnings'.
Criminal Justice system is on the side of the offenders, not the victims.

Welcome to the club, You have read about this happening to others for years and it did not concern you because thats human nature. The Police are human to and it does not concern them either. And stop ringing the Police the guy next door knows they are on his side not yours. These are the rukes "he must stab you or put you in hospital for 3 days before its a Police matter, you need to stab yourself or get someone to stab you before they'll act, but be warned with modern day Forensics they can tell whether a stab wound was self inflicted, done with your consent, or is genuine, so it might be best to use an axe. If you are not prepared to do this wicked deed to yourself then all you need do is to get an EMPTY PETROL CONTAINER, put one teaspoon of petrol in it, put a white cloth soaked in petrol in the spout and leave it at his front door, Before you leave you sprinkle a box of matches all over his doorstep as if you had spilt them in your haste to kill the s-o-d- , and take it from me silence will be restored. He might even phone the Police himself to report the neighbours don't like him anymore? .
