Support our Police in their Role
Far too often we see a lengthy Police investigation result in very weak or poor sentencing. This undermines the efforts of the Police in bringing criminals to justice and does nothing to support our Police or encourage much needed new recruits to join them in keeping this country safe.
A recent incident (2nd Nov 2018) in the Bournemouth area, as reported by Dorset Police of a hit and run driver killing a cyclist resulted in a lucky 'chance' arrest by the Police. Despite the perpetrator disguising the evidence, the resulting sentence was a community order rather than any custodial sentence; thus totally undermining the role of our Police.
Given such examples of justice, we might as well capitulate and accept that crime really does pay in Britain today. We demand better.
