I'm not sure I actually need to leave a review for people to understand why they are useless. But, I will anyway.
1. My car was hit by a speeding vehicle, and dented. The police did nothing. I am told many months later the driver was sent a strongly worded letter.
Something similar happened to my mother and it did actually go to court, but the court sided with the man fleeing the police, saying the damage would be too expensive for him to pay for. So I don't known what I was expecting by even reporting the crime.
2. I was assaulted in the street by a member of staff of a bar who left the venue to attack me for some reason (it's not clear why). CCTV everywhere. Police did not review the footage. They do not even appear to have recorded the crime on the night I reported it. The investigator won't talk to me. I called up the police on 101, and they said they might not be able to get the footage from the bar, because the bar might simply refuse to hand it over. I guess that's that then? I would ask my investigator but he won't talk to me.
3. Sussex Police hire private security to bump up their numbers. Good news is that the security guys saw the above assault! Bad news is they all refused (multiple times) to activate their body worn cameras. I don't know what they told the Police who attended the scene because my investigator won't talk to me.
4. Police attended my friend's house for a non-violent incident. One of the two police tried to seize a bread knife as evidence? Although the other officer put an end to it quite quickly, this still confuses us to this day.
5. My friend had all of his teeth kicked out on camera. The Police know who the men are thanks to a witness. They didn't do a thing. It's not that the investigation fell apart - there was no investigation. He simply got a crime number and a new set of pearly whites.
6. My neighbours house was broken into, the thieves fled into the fields behind the homes. The good news is that it's a dead-end maze of ditches and hard-to-find gates, and it was pitch black. So although the thieves probably couldn't navigate out of the area, the police simply left a crime number and drove off.
7. My father once owned a business on the high street. One Friday he called the Police as some youths were vandalising his shop front. Of course, the Police never attended. The Police station is a stone's throw away. You can see it from the phone he used to call them.
One week and fifteen minutes later police turned up asking where the boys had gone. Possibly the first humans to successfully traverse a worm hole.
8. A town 35 minutes from me was not allowed to open a bar because Police said there was too much crime in the area. You can't run businesses there because the Police would have to be effective.
