Sensational headline is sensational.
People with money hire private security. /end
And yet if you suggested that they increase taxes by £1500 so we could all have an effective police force they would throw a tantrum.
>Her neighbours held a meeting; about 40 households decided to subscribe to a private firm. Each pays £1,500 per year
hmm doesn’t sound like a bad deal
>According to some customers who spoke to the BBC, this fills a gap left by the real police, who they claim they no longer trust to turn up promptly to a 999 call in their villages.
I can trust the police to turn up during a 999 or even 101 call eventually. My distrust comes from the lack of effective follow-up – I’ve been a victim of crimes that had eyewitnesses, video evidence, and physical evidence, but the known perpetrators were never charged or as far as I know even talked to.
One time I gave the police an address and they said the person wasn’t there when they visited so the case was closed. That’s the current level things are operating at.
I guess these guys create a more visible ‘police’ presence and that’s something but I’m not sure it’s worth a grand and a half. They’re not going to be able to push through the lack of resources or political will or whatever else that’s stopping crimes from being processed and resulting in real action being taken.
UK becomes even more exactly like the US with the surge in mercenary adoption to protect the assets of the super rich as the world order collapses into crisis after crisis.
E: For anyone objecting to my use of “Mercenaries”, Blueline advertise they have ex forces and SAS troopers on staff.
I imagine we’ll see more of this moving forward, especially as ethnic-centred riots pick up
Why do the media keep referring to them as “private police” and “private bobbies”?
They’re not private police, they’re private security.
I’ve never understood why a different police force hasn’t already been formed.
When these “police” encounter a crime in progress, what do they do? Phone the police?
What legal powers does a plastic policeman hold? They can’t knick me.
For other Battenberg impersonators see also Canary Wharf private security and Shomrim.
I remember telling people a few years ago that this sort of thing would arrive in Britain eventually.
I didn’t think it would be so soon, I was thinking like year 2040 or something.
