We read in the news again today that yet another stabbing has taken place, with the police response being again answered with " we do not have the man power to deal with all enquiries" and have to prioritise every call.I simply recall being stopped by 2, yes 2 officers who were standing on a street corner in Feltham, Middlesex a few months back stopping drivers who were not wearing seat belts. I openly admit I was in the wrong by not having my seat belt fastened ( although I was just exiting a car park. ) However I must say I am normally meticules regarding seat belts as I have 2 young children and insist they must wear belts in the car. I paid the £30 fixed penalty but wonder how a "stretched" police force can afford to deploy 2 officers on such a menial assignment. Has anyone else noticed such a waste of police man-power, while serious crimes are being committed all around us.
