Question If the Police went on strike for 1 week....

What would you do?
Would you like it?
Or would you barricade yourself indoors and hope the chavs do not descend en masse for your telly/car keys/ **** virginity.

With no police and a healthy collection of shotguns the chavs would be more than welcome to come round to try and steal my car!

I would go on a vigilante rampage to fill the gap, kind of like a Charles Bronson crossed with Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver,

Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum from the streets....

We're not allowed to strike, dude.... so will never happen.

Be interesting to hear what people would do though.

If that happened, the army would step in, just as with the Fireman's strike.

Hmmm, it would be a case of taking arms and getting the scum...befor ethe scum get us (or our houses our cars our wives etc.)

We'd probably deal with and erradicate more criminals in that 1 week that the Police (tied down by human rights, red tape, soft courts etc) could manage in a whole year .....

What would you do?
- Do I need to do anything different?

Would you like it?
- I wouldnt want to see an essential service like the police being brought to the halt, and definetely wouldnt want them to follow suit of the muppet tube strikers and fire fighters.

Then they would end up working a little bit hardner next week processing the films in all the cameras to ensure they still met the 14 day limit.

One thing is sure some real justice would be handed out. We all know someone or body who has had an injustice done. I don't need to name people but some people would feel a lot better offering a few hours of counciling sessions.

A friend spotted a sign up in the Highstreet of our town:-

LARGE CASH REWARD

Leading to identification of the 2 scumbags who beat my wife up while trying to mug her off Avon Way on 9th December at 2230..... No need for Police or courts, just a positive identification from the wife leads to £500 reward per piece of scum
I think this sort of thing would be on the increase if the police could/would strike... in fact I think this sort of thing will increase anyway...

If the police here went on strike, all the doughnut shops would go out of business...

Give it another 5 years and if you can't supply a reg no and speed gun read out for the offender when reporting a crime the Police will just fob you off
