North wales police must get 200 points per month from motorists.
See story - click here.

So it would appear no discretion/common sense allowed.

Mad

I'd like to stuff his head up a sheep's arse - mind you he would probably enjoy that!

I was reading about that in the paper this morning.

They're also doing it in the Thames Valley area apparently. So basically, if it's coming up to the end of their target, and they haven't got enough points, whoever they pull cops the lot.

And it will happen, because who wants to get it in the neck from the boss because you haven't nicked enough people.

My sister and brother in law are in the job, so I know a few plods and none of them like the idea, but have no real say in the matter.

As if there isn't enough paperwork already, it's a crap idea.
