I dont normally post on threads like this but here we go...

I was engaged to a wpc a couple of years ago so fully understand just how hard the job can be and have alot of respect for long serving officers. It can be one of the toughest jobs out there, i would not even think about doing it...

However, i have lived in Essex all my life and driving Cosworths for the last 10 years on and off and unfortunately have had alot more negative encounters than positive ones. ( on some occasions i thoroughly deserved it!!)

My main point is that that officers like these in question only do one thing and that is alienate people against the police which is no good for anyone. This country is in enough of a mess with other issues without virtually everyone i know having the opinion that they would rather stay quiet and not get involved than help the Police in future situations because of how they have been treated in the past.

Unfortunately because of a couple of negative situations with officers in the past that i didnt deserve to be in i for one wouldnt trust ANY police officer (unless i knew them personally) with anything.

A real shame...
