Frog Act posted:i am usually conversant in british but i do not understand "hand past 12" or why they were constantly victimizing other officers? for not using the sticker? is a plod a traffic cop? Failed Imagineer posted:1. using the clock positions as a metaphor to describe hand position on the steering wheel This is basically it. The hand position thing is a dig at "Roadcraft", the manual all police use for driving techniques, which says at no point should your hand be on the opposite side of the wheel (i.e. passing the 12 o'clock position) and doing so is actually something you can lose your Advanced Driver certification (which attracts a salary bonus) for. Traffic police got their black rat name mainly because if they pulled over another officer for any offence they'd apply the exact letter of the law to them rather than applying a bit of "discretion" because they felt they should be held to a higher standard. This was literally used in corruption investigations in the 60s and 70s - the Met's traffic division were heavily used in Operation Countryman because they had that very strong ethos of "gently caress the thin blue line, you're supposed to be enforcing the law not breaking it".

lolhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Countryman posted:Operation Countryman was an investigation into police corruption in London in the late 1970s.[1] The operation was conducted between 1978–1982 at a total cost of £3 million and led to eight police officers being prosecuted, though none were convicted.

Good to see drug companies are doing their best to make a profit off the problems they created Isn't that because they have to list literally any medical things that pop up in the trial?

Professor Shark posted:That sounds awfully close to being Good Cops Hey lets not go crazy now, they're still power-tripping arseholes, they're just power-tripping arseholes who believe their own hype. That dedicated traffic units were the very first ones to be cut is absolutely a coincidence though.

Countryman was so bad it led to Thatcher's government decriminalising hardcore porn and strip clubs (the Soho vice unit was literally running both of them). Imagine that, Police loving up so badly that Margaret loving Thatcher realised that decriminalising something puts criminals out of business.

This was after the Chief Constable of the Met said his goal was for the police to catch more criminals than they employed.

I remember years ago watching Bowling for Columbine and they follow some recruiters who outright say the suburban mall is always bust, let's hit up the one downtown.

cnut posted:Somebody's getting paid. Do you still have to bring in pencils and paper etc for your students? Ehh I don't know, the fact that they appear to be print-outs run through a laminator makes me think the teacher's just an idiot and thought it was a good idea, if the actual brands were involved I'd think they'd be designed more insidiously to show you what a great friend Coca-Cola Corporation is or w/e rather than just showing the stock logo... Can you duck in and check another classroom to see if they're in all of them?
