[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 8141367, member: 198"] This is what's trotted out all the time and no doubt there is some truth in it. However they give the impression of not giving a flying fig. Example from a couple of weeks ago, transit van calls, says their from the highways agency and there's going to be some work done on the road and they want somewhere to put the old tarmac, it will be free. The old scam because they then want £4 a square foot for laying it ! I checked their reg number on the DVLA site and the van was not taxed. Phoned the police told them all this, also told them where they've come from because there's a load of them turned up not far away. Standard response "it will be added to our intelligence". Well what is so difficult about going down and confiscating an untaxed van? Later found out at least 3 other reports had been made for the same thing and for other vehicles as well, they all got the same response. I could fill this page with other examples. Not enough people? Well how come it takes 2 police people to come and stencil a code onto equipment so it can be identified after it's been stolen, when one civilian could have done it. [/QUOTE]
