A good day for the police?
Posted on Monday, August 13th, 2007 by Home Office WatchCategory: Police
Thames Valley police has incurred the wrath of the Daily Mail, and plenty of others, for recruiting 16-year olds to be Police Community Support Officers.
And just down the M4 in London, traffic fines are costing the Met police £900 a day, the Guardian reports. Last year’s bill was well over £300,000 - up a third on last year.
UPDATE: Just noticed this one too - Penalty Notices for Disorder (also known as “pay and go” justice) are being issued at a rate of three a minute, all in the name of OBTJ targets. That’s Offences Brought to Justice, for those who didn’t know.
