cops are useless!!!!

I've been thinking of posting this for a while now, but anyway, I agree with the above statement.

The other day I went in to our local cop shop to report something to the cops. (for several reasons I'm keeping the details pretty much private, though other Bundy people can feel free to PM me and ask me for more details)

Anyway, basically, they didn't care. This is despite the fact that this person is known to the cops, and to a few people I know to be dangerous, and they still couldn't give a rats ass. I'm guessing they probably don't care since they can't make $$$ from it - I'll bet that had I gone in to report a 17 year old P plater speeding through an old people's estate in a modified V8 Commodore, the outcome would've been quite different, but because it wasn't, basically they couldn't care less.

Not happy Jan!

Something happened to me personally.

lol, did they offer you some candy and you accepted?

Unless your wanting to have them charged whats the point of going there?

If your unhappy with the level of service, write to the ombudsman.

Yep, then watch the person who govz knows to be dangerous, turn around and **** him over by having HIM charged. Not the best risk to take.

It's a burgler breaking into someone's house, injuring themselves, then suing the owner of the house they broke into and winning. It's a massive FAIL. Stick to the book and eventually, something will happen.

Exactly...as good as it may be to "teach someone a lesson", or something along those lines, one of the worst things you can do is to take the law into your own hands. Thats what the Police are for. Just a pity that they find pulling up motorists to be more fun than keeping the community safe.

What happened? I'm in Rocky - not exactly close to bundy but I'm not too far away.

Hard to really put it into perspective without knowing what happened I guess.

I had to laugh I went out to a town not far from here and the police station was shut, apparently it's only open between certain hours on certain days. Sucked haha, I thought I'd go in and ask for directions to a street and they were shut.

Anyway, what happened - swing me a PM if you want.

Not quite. Reporting something like that, you would have received a worst reception. It drives me nuts sometimes when someone walks in saying, "I just saw someone driving like an idiot and talking on their phone. What are you doing to do about it?", or the famous road rage incident where the offending driver "cut me off" <---- reason for the road rage starting

Obviously I don't know the circumstances of this incident. This offender could be that well known to them that they're all sick of dealing with them. Was this matter relatively minor or trivial and not yield much in the way of evidence or even any real successful prosecution?

I find it disappointing sometimes the service people receive when they say "the coppers don't give a sh*t" in the cases where that is true. Some coppers have this bad habit of letting their other frustrations out upon other people they're dealing with, being their current divorce proceedings, bosses on their back for overdue paperwork, phones ringing all day and being asked stupid questions on said phone and over the counter.
