Tab,
although I'm no admirer of British Plod it seems to me that liberal judges and smart-ass lawyers are really to blame.
If I was old bill in this country I'd be thinking"why bother?"
Saw a case just recently where police time was tied up endlessly when a repeat offender kicked someone to death,said sorry and got five years.
He had been convicted of GBH just two years previously.
