@hairybttmho @RocketDogg77 @antmiddleton @sallyvale14 Don’t forget assaulting police officers

@RocketDogg77 @antmiddleton @sallyvale14 He isn’t allowed as he’s a convicted tax avoider and woman beater.

They will have to when I take charge of London… 💪🏼👊🏼

@Russell3Hammer @JamesPGoddard90 @petersingh206 Ashford ‘Centrex’ was sold of donkeys years ago. It’s a PGL kids holiday/adventure camp now. Kent have used other sites in Kent and further afield for PO trainining for a long time

@JamesPGoddard90 @petersingh206 What's wrong with the training centre in Ashford which has all of that already?

🚨UK POLICE PREPPING FOR CIVIL WAR? They built a £50M FAKE TOWN in Gravesend, Kent – complete with burnt-out phone boxes, riot-damaged houses & streets built for chaos drills. Some officers are leaking that its heavy usage is for looming unrest. We all know whose side the Police will take! Spolier: It's not ours!

@IlkleyJohn @Mattisamazing33 If it was for surveillance it would be covert rather than just unmarked and wouldn’t have visible mods such as the red button or bracket for the lighting switch panel and lights in the bumpers. Covert and unmarked are quite different things

@coppertopcopper @Mattisamazing33 Surveillance

This is an ex CID one owner Golf R, and I want to know what this knob does???? autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20…

@ricardoenero @sniffpetrol I’ve even heard of one occasion when an officer tried to make ‘tactical contact’ with (absolutely smash) a car to stop it turning the wrong way down a MWay and the Volvo braked until the car was out of the way, then applied full power again putting the Volvo into the barrier…

@ricardoenero @sniffpetrol It’s a big problem for the police. You plan a route though gaps ahead but the car shits itself and tries to do an emergency stop. Carrying out TPAC boxes the cars panic and don’t let you get close enough or they start panic braking and end up playing bumper cars

To record today's Smith and Sniff, Jonny and I sat in a very, very small car in a shopping centre car park. And if you're a member of our Patreon you'll soon be able to watch a video version of this podcast. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/smi…

@WingGregor @clancy3105 @Kent_999s No one said you have to like it, but it’s the law. Unfortunately your attempts at personal insults have been unsuccessful seeing as they don’t apply.

FOLKESTONE: Czech bloke trying to get away from police in Sandgate Road near the clock tower, apparently earlier today. I think using Benny Hill music would have been better.

@ReidGraham95968 @history99917180 It’s corporate nonsense, but that’s not what woke means…

@history99917180 Woke twattery them not you mate

Why policing is in such a mess. I give you this. What the fuck does it mean? My first skipper told me policing is easy, ‘look after the good people and hassle the bad ones’.

@BigHairyJack @anon_opin No. It’s not a requirement and would not be penalised for it. It’s taught as good practice and means that you do actually have to stop and not just roll. That encourages you to take the time to have a proper look before moving off. Stop signs are used at junctions with poor vis

@anon_opin Is it still a requirement on driving tests to apply the handbrake at stop signs?

The fact that almost no drivers use their handbrake at a red light is a subtle sign of his bad driving standards in the UK are.

@cowcontroller Yeah. I think it can be useful for response work but I find I’m seriously struggling with desk based investigations and big workloads

@cowcontroller I’ve just been diagnosed myself. After looking into it certain things are making a lot of sense. Now I need to learn how to del with it best and even turn it to my advantage

@DisgruntledPat1 @MonkEmma How many had such poor CCTV that footage from the moon is clearer? How many times were the offenders stopped, the goods recovered, and staff say they only want the stock back, they don’t want to support a prosecution? I think you’d be surprised

@DisgruntledPat1 @MonkEmma How many of the 75% were incidences where the shops only report but don’t provide statements, receipts, or CCTV because it’s their company policy? How many where staff don’t know how to use the CCTV system and the manager is too busy? How many don’t even HAVE a CCTV system?

Sigh…..😞 Another day, another wildly misleading Daily Mail headline. I mean, it certainly would be headline worthy if police had turned up and accused her of committing a crime by writing innocent FB posts. But that's not what happened… 🧵 1/

@jenkinson_44134 @Chris447258 @iamtomskinner @GreggsOfficial Prolific offenders are arrested, interviewed, charged, and remanded to court regularly for low level offences.

@Chris447258 @iamtomskinner @GreggsOfficial Provide this source? Or are you just talking out your arse. It seems the country is being ransacked with shoplifters so this £15 case is just a lie. Imagine to cosy to arrest, put in a cell, feed and then go to court. Wouldn’t be worth it. Sit back and think about that Chris.

Stood in the que at @GreggsOfficial to buy two coffees and sausage rolls whilst out working this morning. Whilst in the que 4 separate people walked in the shop, helped themselves to sandwiches, drinks, snacks the lot! None of the staff seemed to care and I thought I ain’t gonna bother getting into an argument with someone over a ham and cheese baguette. I don’t know peoples finances, but what I did notice that every single one of them had brand new trainers on and one was even sporting a Moncler coat! What’s happened to this country and why do people feel like it’s okay to just take what they want. Sad to see; hope it is not also happening to small independent bakeries across the UK aswell. Greggs you had £12 in sales from myself but you must of had £40 worth of goods stolen in that short ten minutes. Bosh❤️

@Chris447258 @iamtomskinner @GreggsOfficial That’s because it’s not true. My team charge multiple people every week.

@iamtomskinner @GreggsOfficial I'm not sure where your getting the information from that shoplifters can't be prosecuted for £200 or under. I know many cases where people have been arrested, charged and convicted at Court for a theft from a shop for £15 and under!! Out of interest, what Greggs was this?

@iamtomskinner @GreggsOfficial I don’t know where people have got this idea that shopliftings under £200 can’t be prosecuted. I charge multiple people weekly for thefts under £200 from shop, it’s just a summary offence so to tried at a magistrates court (as it would almost always be if it was either way)

Say you loose £200-£400 per day per shop due to theft. Would employing a security guard per shop for £150 a day be a better way to limit goods being stolen? Also speaking with government to put aside the stupid under £200 theft can’t be prosecuted law that conservatives brought in a few years back be scraped. Sad to think that this is what has happened in today’s society that we need security guards on bakeries in the UK. There are plenty of food banks in the Uk to help those who are actually struggling. Also creating more jobs with security guards can only be good for the local economy. I donate more than most to food banks, I don’t think the people stealing from your shops are necessarily doing it because they are starving; they are doing it because they know how easy it is and that they will never get in trouble. We need to invest in our local communities and create more jobs to help lower the crime rate.

@pdaveyuk @InspGadgetBlogs @EssexPoliceUK It seems to come and go in some forces depending on how short they are on accredited detectives

There is some debate about the legality of @EssexPoliceUK cutting SE/detective allowances. I think the Tory PCC *can* do this. Remember, during Tory austerity we lost everything. CTRP, regional allowances, SPP and paid more pension contributions for a longer and smaller pension.

@Dextro1985 @ES_News_ My apologies. The comment section for this post has been full of outraged Americans feeling the need to comment on our policing when theirs is certainly not without fault.

@coppertopcopper @ES_News_ well im swedish. so yeah. its still makes it out as as random. we were called about a specific person so we stopped him, "this is how helpful tips from public can be" I put the proper title between the "", i feel like i need to explain that, since u thought i was from the US
