• UK police refuse to investigate ordinary crime

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 11 20:52:20 2025
    The public is not being protected, let alone not enjoying liberty, when
    police resources are diverted from investigating crime in favor of
    enforcing moviePig law.

    A man set out to prove this, choosing a prominent location in London
    between Metropolitan Police Headquarters and Parliament. Point is
    there's plenty of video surveillance. He parked a bike, chained it to a
    bike rack, and tagged it with a couple of airtags.

    Police never looked at any video footage.

    The police in the UK have made very little effort to solve ordinary
    crimes for at least the last two or three years, maybe longer. Use
    language that offends someone ONLINE and you can expect to hear from the
    police - on the phone or via an in-person visit - in very short order.
    They are FAR more concerned with policing speech than solving assaults, robberies, burglaries and that kind of thing. The UK is broken up into
    20-odd police forces and some of those forces haven't solved a single
    car theft or burglary in several years: not ONE. I've seen this
    allegation from several sources in the past year or two.

    They only seem to care about "hurty words" and protecting the Muslims
    from anything that might offend them.
