And Heater, if they see you pissing in the street, they should definitely talk to you.
There are different police working on the meth problem. They're busting the manufacturers, instead of wasting all their time and resources on the lowly dealers. Cut the head off and the body will die.

I think it's the general consensus that they only seem to want to focus on the easy revenue raising issues opposed to getting the scum off of the streets.
There's too much scum for them to get them all mate. There will always be criminals, and there will always be people that blame the police for the crime level.

Absolutely, but it's not hard to pick out when a deal is happening.

I think you have unusually high expectations of constable joe
If you're having a whinge because the cops catch someone that's .02 over the limit, imagine if that person who's .02 over the limit caused an accident that killed someone in your family.
The Reepham must be the singular most robbed and targeted pub for criminals and bikies in the state - you're both in lala land if you can't understand why the cops target it

Like FC said, uniformed cops arent gonna stand around at pubs waiting for deals to happen. Plus it would only take one bust before the crims relocate their deals anyway.
If they're that big of an operation, there's probably surveillance on them anyone, and the drug squad would go after the source first.

But they'll sit in an unmarked car in the dark and try to nab a bloke who has 2 kids with him hoping that he's been drinking?

Go into the pubs, talk to patrons, give them free breath tests, if people are over the limit they can catch a cab or walk.
But we know its all about quotas and if they get someone at .051 for driving 5 metres in the car park its much more important than confronting meth dealers laundering humdreds of thousands in the same pub after midnight.

They may have been there to prevent another robbery.
But that doesn't matter, coz cops do nothing right.

They are plenty educational. Every second ad on TV and during the footy is a drink driving ad, same with billboards along roads.
Why would they come into the pub if there is already the breatho in there that you can use?
If you get done for drink driving you have no excuse really (and yep, I have drove home drunk lots of times, doesnt make it right)Lightning McQueen wrote:But they'll sit in an unmarked car in the dark and try to nab a bloke who has 2 kids with him hoping that he's been drinking?

That's a little extreme, they do plenty of good for the community, there's no point arguing for the sake of arguing, their success rate of getting drink drivers at the said pub is virtually zero so they should focus their manpower in less time wasting exercises, that's all I'm saying.

Thats a matter of opinion. I dont think breathos are time wasting exercises. No matter which pub they're set up near. The one near the Reepham would also catch people heading into and out of town (depending which side its on) trying to avoid Main North Road.
There's usually a method to the madness.
Do you think the police wanna stand out in the cold not catching anyone? They set up where they think they'll catch the most people. And if someone is caught, thats their own fault.

Got no issue with cops pulling me over for a breath test, and I would rather they do it then than hassle me inside the pub.
(Used to be funny at the Freeling pub when the word would get out that the cops were around, because everyone would groan at having to walk home haha. I used to specifically park my car in a way that i didnt have to make any turns to get home.
Once again, doesnt make it right, maybe i should have got done back in the day

I'be worked in an investigative section before, all they need to do is have a bit of nouse, community knowledge and intelligence and they could be doing a ten times better job for the community ans spending our tax payers money more efficiently.
