Reply to: Good to see the police doing a good job

my point is they try so hard to capture & prosecute a small minority of the guilty. then they lose them.

I'm sure this is only a fraction of the active offenders but they were known and supposed to be monitored. It is a travesty.

Indeed. Better to worry about all the uncaught ones; family members, friends' parents, teachers, people running clubs, scoutmasters, priests, etc.

140 out of 60 million. You have very little chance of actually meeting one of them.


Unless your a child then the odds are slightly higher.

So Sussex police have "lost" 6. Shame they didn't lose my speeding fine last year for doing 36 MPH on a 30 MPH country road, which was as straight as a gun barrel for miles and completely empty at the time!

After three months not hearing anything, I assumed they had forgotten about it and thought no more about it, until I received a letter from the magistrates court saying the fine had been raised from £60 to £300 as I hadn't turned up at court or volunteered for their all day speed awareness course!

If you didn't receive the court summons you should be able to apply to the court for a new court date and get it put back to the £60, possibly even after you have paid it.

There's an excellent forum, who will tell you more, here:

I don't need to fear paedos. I'm 40 now and if a man in a mac asked me if i wanted to see his puppies Id say "ok then" what breed are they... Im after gun dog and a hunting dog.

But this is where they went missing from - presumably they have moved away, maybe all of them to Bedfordshire.

Bah

Norfolk lad are you?

[centurian]

Glad to see none in darkest Bedfordshire

The South-West and Norfolk seem clear as well - must be the "tight-knit" communities they have.

I've got an idea. What about a nice solidly constructed building with locks on the doors and bars on the windows?

Or glue a helium balloon to their head.

Er, on a bit of string, obviously.

So the question is "how many" and the answer is "hardly any". Your average county has 1-2. What about all those who are never caught or reported, which must be 100X as high? Or all the murderers, rapists, etc...

Shouldn't that be "Hopes"?

Like that maybe we can call it

Juvenile Assault Incarcerate for Life.

Children's charity the NSPCC has called for a system which makes it impossible for sex offenders to 'vanish'.

It is not really a map of Britain is it.

[VectraMan]

I can't say I'm very worried about criminals on the run from my area. I'd be much more worried about the number on the run to my area.

That sounds like a bargain. Does that include the criminal injuries surcharge that motorists have to pay victims of assault and abuse by pedos
