Round here, they won't attend for a burglary but we had two constables in two cars the other day for a few pigs out on a very minor road.
We got put on the vulnerable properties list last summer after having a dose of stuff knicked, six months later the trailer went, haven't seen a copper or even a cop car since last summer. It's a fwckin joke.
 
Whatever you call them, it's pretty certain that plod fear them and do their damnedest to avoid them.
Been told this by an ex cop - it can take the entire resources of a medium sized town to deal with one traveler encampment if they kick off - and if they do the ones out and about run amok on the back of it - so often its a deliberate policy to pander to the liberal nice nice they're harmless champagne socialist brigade and pretend their way of life isn't inherently incompatible with civilized human behavior, than be the town in the news that was burnt to the ground by them. Theyve killed a cop - they laughed when being sentenced , and police still go soft on them, plus the police get alot of pressure from local polititians to keep the peace. ShIIIII-t and theving are small fry to ransacked towns and assaults.

their is..... we dont need new laws... we just need the police to stop telling people off for mis gendering barry the quadrogenderd hamster, and do real policeing....
IE have it planned when a camp pops up, cancel leave, have teams on hand to kettle them and GO on and deal with them. Half if not all the caravans and vans are stolen - last group near here was fun, you could put the reg numbers into the DVLA checker - Transit vans with Astra and Focus reg plates....
They could seize everything- do it a few times and the message gets accross.
If they get violent, they can do a few years, if they fight back, a few more.... they will then learn its like in france of Poland and germany - camp and kick off.... and you end the day stood on a street corner with nothing, or in prison. Sadly the guardian would then cut down more trees to protest how they were innocent and didnt know stealing was wrong.

We should be able to sue the police for not doing their duty to keep the peace.

A bloke on my cricket team had his van stolen during a match by Pikeys with his tools in a few months ago.

He was told of a sighting of the van in a traveller site about ten miles away (power of Facebook). He broke into the site in the middle of the night and stole his own van back. He’s got bigger balls than me!
