PCs out to beat bad behaviour (From The Argus)

Perhaps they could stray into Bear Road and find the devoid of talent drummer who seems to have set up a kit in the back garden and was hammering away for hours late last night like someone who had suffered a catastophic mental breakdown.
Why is it always the least muscially talented who take up music?

I wonder if the headline should read "Beat anti-social behaviour out of them"?

Perhaps you should have called the police he should be locked up

This is a joke right? The North Laine is in the centre of town!! Choose to live there, deal with the noise!

It's like people complaining about a second runway at Gatwick when they chose to live next to an airport.

Some people want everything their own way and to hell with others.

The Police...the 1980s group or the call centre which advises you to call the council's envrionmental health team which only works Friday and Saturday nights?

I thought the Police were meant to be out patrolling all streets, all of the time?

Are we talking PC's or are we talking PCSO's

I faired better than you recently, I was about one minute by car from the Police Station when I phoned them to say I was being robbed, they never bothered sending me any assistance, though after about 10 minutes the nice lady at the call centre did ring me back asking me to make an appointment to make a statement about the incident.

I am sure the trouble makers are really running scared. I mean a 5 foot 4 weedy policeman, a WPC or even worse still a ghastly PCSO may catch someone and say.....

"You are a very naughty boy. Now stop making so much noise"

Just like the Norman Wisdom film, On The Beat, where the 5ft 4 weedy policeman is walking around in his dads oversized uniform swinging a truncheon, very funny. Then there was the Keystone Cops, I had no idea when I was a kid that such comedy was actually a vision of the future.

There is no reason for the Police to stray into Bear Road as there is not one Kebab Shop or takeaway there!

Hmmm funny you always seem to have a different story where you've been the victim of crime and nothing got done by the police. You're either extremely unlucky or telling us porkies to prove a point.

"Late-night police patrols in Brighton to beat antisocial behaviour out of the dirty terrorist bar stewards" Good Luck to them. Move those cheeky tramps on as well I'm fed up of the snide comments from dirty skanks.

Oh hello, news headlines, police drag their backsides out of their fancy cars and helicopters and actually do what we pay them to do in the first place. If they carry on at this rate I'll be getting a knock on the door from a beaming constable who's solved the mystery of who burgled my house and stole my motorbike.
What are the old bill after, a pat on the back just for doing their job? i'll wait until they're actually any good at it before I fall over myself with congratulations and letters of appreciation to the chief constable. The busiest policemen I've seen in the last few weeks have been the ones in the silver audi in the lancing area making the most of the flyover traffic jams pulling people for mobile phones. While they're at a standstill. Proper detectives. All the burglars are in prison so its ok.

Look it is Not the police ,s fault they have been mugged by central government just like most of us Plebs!! I don,t know what folk want from the police they cant be everywhere all the time! I moan about specific incidents not about trivial made up nonsense ! I have even griped about too many officers being at a scene ! but as an observer rather than a Participant how the heck do I know how many officers are needed at the incident ??? Yes I would like to see late night foot patrols but until 7am ish when the drunks go to the bus stop opposite my home screaming and shouting while waiting for the 25 bus!!

I am neither unlucky or telling porkies, and I am straining to remember any of these "always different stories" you speak of. You are right in saying I have been let down a few times by the Police, though who hasn't. What I have said before on these pages is that I think there are some excellent individual officers, though collectively ineffective on the whole, except when it comes to collecting revenue for the state.

Also AmboGuy, I know we all like to have a little pop sometimes to provoke a reaction, perhaps when we have a spare hour or two, and we try our hand at the odd joke, which is fun, though it seems to me all you ever do is wade through the comments seeing who you can criticise, and as you have commented before on your own esteem as a writer, perhaps you could come up with something original just once.

The fact is that the govt has stripped the force to the bone and now the police can only deal with top end crimes such as murder, rape and extreme violence.
Any crimes to property which are recoverable via insurance, or anti social behaviour are not dealt with.

You may have sounded confused, did you state what was happening clearly and succinctly? If you rambled as you did on the Spontaneously Combusting Tea Towel story they probably dismissed it as a crank call, or deranged like Amboguy used to be one here.

Though I have no doubt that funding cuts have had a huge impact on policing, the fact remains that we, as a society, do very little to police ourselves.

This isn't a case of not barking if you have a dog you know. The streets are ours and with all the best will in the world the police force cannot do it without our willing cooperation ... with all the responsibility and stepping up to be counted that that may entail.

Yes I fear you are right, but once we have elected local crackpot MP's in the position of "Crime Commissioner" it will be the other way around with the police told to focus on low level annoyance rather than actual crime

Why is it relevant that you were one minutes drive from the police station?

Also I find it hard to believe you calmly called police while you were being robbed. You say they even called you back to arrange to meet with an officer to investigate it? I don't really see your point.

It's because he's LYING!!!

He's come up with numerous 'I called the Police and nothing happened' stories in which he's always '1 minute from the station' or 'just round the corner' from the Police station. I'm not sure of the relevance of where he is as the Response officers could be anywhere in B&H when they get the call but I suppose he doesn't realise that.

Calm down AmboGuy! Remind me of these "numerous" stories you keep refering to which I have supposedly written. If you really did "check your facts" you would see I have criticised the police lots of times on these comments boards, though I have also paid them plenty of compliments also, and what makes you think I am a male.

The relevance of my whereabouts, which was outside the Royal Sussex County Hospital at the time when the aforemention event took place is simply, the Police are based at John Street, surely you have witnessed many responses direct from the Police Station.

Why do I have to be a liar, and why does D360 seemed so surprised I didn't panic when he knows nothing about me, who I am, or what I have done in my life. All this criticism because I got let down by the Police.

Whoa there, don't worry about it and I'm sorry I've upset you.

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else with a very similar username to you. Sorry again and chill out.

You have to ignore Amboguy, everyone else does. You sussed him out on your first response. He is an oaf that does not have an original thought in his head, is rude and abusive to anyone he perceives as against the establishment or his bizarre points of view.

DC360 is either on the job or an ex so slightly skewed in favour of our failing Police but invariably polite about it.

LOL at the backtracking nutter

Cash Bull........Cash Cow?? You could at least have made your two usernames a BIT different.

This is just trolling on a ridiculous level.

I been CashCow for a good long time, not sure when CashBull appeared, think he/she changed his username, not to worry though, if AmboGirl turns up perhaps we would make an excellent foursome and light up any pub with our varied and interesting conversation : )
