You're going back in time though.

Yes, because those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it - George Santayana

These days you can't even blow your nose without being on CCTV, or with someone recording you on their phone, plus we have DNA science to aid us as well.

And ANPR cameras and trackers and so on, yet so many bikes get stolen and never recovered. So if they can't do that, what chance is there of catching murderers etc, even when such crimes happen so much more infrequently?

You'll still have the defence liars trying every trick in the book to get you off though, as that's what these shameless bastards do, even when they know you're guilty.

Yes, because *THAT'S THEIR JOB*!

EVERYONE is entitled to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence.

Otherwise why don't we just go back to the old days of finding some likely person (especially whose face we don't like) and string them up from the nearest lamp post...?

Stolen bikes are not exactly on top of the agenda for the police unfortunately. A bit like someone going into an Amsterdam police station and saying someone’s just nicked your pushbike.


And i know it’s their job, but i just fucking hate the way they lie and bend the truth for a very good living. And i also get the fact if they were defending me i would prefer the best outcome too.
