Can you imagine the uproar from Liberty if it were the case that we did have keys to every lock on every door in the country? They would go berserk?

However, no-one seems overly concerned about the bloke from Locks-R-Us who carries around enough kit to gain access to virtually every house on your street!

We probably left it with the skeleton key which opens all front doors & the set which gets us into all cars for numpties who lock themselves out.
I don’t know about you but in my own house we have 4 different keys for our ’standard’ double glazed windows.

how come you don’t carry the key to a standard double-glazed window? aren’t they all the same?

and there speaks the voice of someone who clearly hasn’t a clue what sort of work front-line police officers have to deal with every day.

If it helps you feel any better, without knowing anything about your case I can more or less guarantee that they didn’t go from your friend’s house to do anything so useful as nicking someone for doing 45 in a 40.

given the emotional state she was in a few more detailed questions would have had her break down in tears and admit the truth

sadly they probably went away and nicked someone for doing 45 in a 40 limit or other such priority police work

bj,

therein lies the rub, we can’t win. Should the officers have dragged your friend screaming and kicking and forced her into an ambulance?

re “Concern for welfare” calls

for what its worth I’ll tell it from the other side

I had a friend ring me and tell me they had taken a massive overdose, I was miles away, I rang the coppers local to my friend and told them exactly what she had done, asking that they go around and persuade her to go to hospital

What did they do, they went round chatted for 5 minutes, and she convinced them she had not taken any tablets and off they went

Absolutely appalled as I drove from one end of the country to the other to take her to hospital

Not all “Concern for welfare” are bogus, and I just wish this one had been taken more seriously by the boys in blue
