    Without police officers, the king of England could just walk right up to your front door and come in your home. *poke* do you really want that? *poke poke*

    Constitution? - I take it you are from one of the Colonies? (this is the UK Thread)
    So, what is it you are advocating? Replacing an albeit flawed, but an accountable system? with …? Perhaps you want to do back to the Wild, Wild West, where those with the biggest bullies with the biggest Guns ran the streets/towns/cities? ..

    Nice one Irminsul, although if truth be told, - the direction given to the 'Boys in Blue' was not doubt told to them by those faceless 'shadowy figures' in Grey suits

    I wish you were right. Unfortunately they are needed and do useful work too.
    Seems to depend on the country to which extent these assertions are spot on. Which country are you in?

    No it's not an 'English' thread, It's an 'U.K.' one - (You can tell by the sub-text underneath the Threads title, "Discussion in 'U.K.' ")
    Don't worry though - You are excused :)

    Yeah, you don't want the King of England coming in your home and poking you around.

    Police officers are like a tool, like a hammer or some pliers or an alligator.

    I beg to differ
    If Prince Harry ever becomes King he can come in and poke me around

    What people have to remember - in the UK for sure - is that despite under-funding, under-resourcing and increase in political correctness, the bobby on the beat' still retains a large degree of respect.
    When 'the service' becomes 'business led, and the recent election seeing a Party who are easily swayed into privatisation (one only has to look at the record G4 has) when people make complaint about the (British) Force, the phrase "Be careful what you wish for - you may just get it" comes to mind.

    I had the police in my living room on Friday night to discuss something which I won't get into but I'm full view on my desk I had a cake pan completely full of weed ready to go into my butane container to make honey oil and the coppers did not even ask about it they did not ask if I had a license to did not give a s*** I definitely don't have a problem with the cops new attitude or towards cannabis
