Are cops too soft.

Went into peterlee (town centre) today during my dinner break. There was a young Vicky Pollard type lass with a kid in a pushcahair, kid was eating the usual sausage roll she was had a bag of chips, she was stood outside of a shop with her mates throwing away the chips that was either hard, or had bits of black on them. This copper came up to her and said do you mind not throwing your chips on the floor as someone could slip on them. Her reply, well if people watch where they're goin they wont. The copper then says do you know i can arrest you for that, she say's well go then. He then asks her not to throw no more on the floor then walks off, as he is walking away all her friends start laughing, whistling and cheering.

Now if i was a cop and that was me i would'nt of known how fast to get her cuffed and take her for a trip down the sataion.

Probably the fact that she had a kid in a pushchair was the only thing that stopped the copper from arresting her.

Copper should have set an example and slapped the cuffs on her. There's no way she, or any of the others would have done it again... Now they know they can get away with it they'll just carry on and progress to even more antisocial behaviour...

Get subjected to this on a daily basis.... usually by kids aged 12 to 13!

I'm still racking my brains what he was going to arrest her for. He was clearly trying to blag her. What he could have done is produced his fixed penalty pad and issued a £50 fine for littering. That really wipes the smile off their faces.

They certainly dont expect that do they!

then again, clever application of SOCAP might prevail....

[lofty]

curious as to why he didn't give her the fine? Surely walking away was the wrong thing to do after giving her a telling off?? Watched panarama the other day and kids were jumping on police cars!!

cant speak for why he didnt issue the fixed penalty?? strage decision to rant and issue threats of arrest, then back down and walk away....
maybe he didnt have any??

Kids on my SNT give the PCSO's lip but soon learn not to annoy bobbies. Walking across town after being nicked for BoP or sec5 and being dropped off in the next village soon annoys the h*ll out of them.
