First the story is from England but we usually follow along.

http://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/867829/crime-police-officers-investigate-low-level-crimes-Mark-Simmons

Quotes from article.

"This week the Met’s Deputy Assistant Commissioner Mark Simmons said that it’s no longer the police’s role to investigate “lower level” crimes such as shoplifting, car crime and criminal damage."

Under the Met’s new crime assessment policy, police officers will “determine very quickly if it is proportionate” to investigate “lower level, higher volume offences” further.

Now take the following part does that mean they will not even record some crimes, "Reports suggest that the new guidelines will mean 150,000 fewer offences a year being investigated." GEE lower crime figures police must be doing a good job.

When your car is broken into, for example, to police bosses it is now considered inconsequential because it is not a murder or a huge fraud.

Here is the other lunacy of this quote "The Met has to find some £400million in savings." YET last year the UK managed to give away 12 Billion pounds in foreign aid.

Hopefully these morons stay in the UK.

Some of the actual lower grade police opinion is "This is not about money, it is about priorities."

Millions are always available for the police to investigate patently ludicrous allegations from fantasists against the likes of Lord Bramall, Sir Leon Brittan and Paul Gambaccini.

And supposed hate crimes, which can sometimes be no more than a few rude comments on social media, have suddenly become a key priority.

But when it comes to real crimes that drive people to despair the response of police chiefs is to simply pretend they don’t exist.

And this extends far beyond the Met: Avon and Somerset police has, for example, closed its burglary unit.

Statistics quoted tend to backup this "in 1901 there was one policeman per 765 people; in 1951 one per 693; and in 2001 one per 417."

There is another article I saw that said if the value of shoplifting was under 50 pounds they would not even bother to attend.

This is something For Australian sake should not be allowed happen.

The law and police for the rich and powerful, and you have no guns to protect yourself.

The ratio rises about 380% in 50 years and on a graph this works out at about one per 1 in around 2017. So the entire country are Police and in 2051 there are about six hundred per 1 . All are armed with the Police Union locked in battle with the Command. Theft of ammunition under $4500 is unreported and deserters are shot.
