Police lack of interest in stolen bikes

[ascension]

Please take a look and sign the petition to try and get the local authorities to take bike crime more seriously. This is for our benefit as I'm sure we would all like the law actively involved in crime prevention and recovery of our pride and joy if it were to be stolen or attempted theft. Please sign and share to all other forums, sites and profiles that have a biker audience. Thanks

Why would the police waste time and resources trying to solve a proper crime when they can set up a van and nick a dozen people for the terrible crime of going over the speed limit.

Scamera van = easy money
investigating a real crime = making an effort = yer fat chance of that!

One stolen bike in the city = making an effort to investigate = yer right
Turning up at a bike meet and checking number plates = easy.


Do you really think the piggies or the Government are going to take a blind bit of notice of you ?
Good luck with your campaign, I honestly hope you do well and can come back here and tell us something posative

@ epetition!

Why just motorcycles as opposed to all vehicles?

If your bike has been nicked, no-one saw it and there's no CCTV, how would you investigate?

Police have limited resources, they have to concentrate on crimes they can solve, and give highest priority to the serious stuff.
Wish it wasn't so, but that's the reality.

They put markers on stolen vehicles and according to someone who isn't me you can report a vehicle stolen and the owner will have lots of fun the next time they pass a traffic car.

SPAM for all epetitions. No exceptions, and I'm bored with explaining why.

I've had personal experience twice now of the police stopping persons in posession of my stolen motorcycle and both times sending them on their way with no action taken (not even taking their names in one instance). They did at least take the bike off them.

So never mind investigating. They take no action even when the perpetrator drops in their lap.

An e petition will make no difference. It's not a matter for parliament. They have given the police the powers to deal with the problem. The issue is that they aren't using them, be this a matter of policy or indifference. Further legislation will not change this.

Broad policy is set by the Home Office civil servants. This then may or may not be acted upon by the chief constable of a particular police force depending on how he feels or the wind direction. The local police comissioner is supposed to deal with this kind of issue too but they are too busy feathering their own nests and building their political careers to give a damn.

The police in this country are a lost cause in my oppinion.
