-= why won't the British police do their. job and put a stop to it? -=

The British police obviously do know what is taking. place. Besides my
interpretations of what individual officers. have said which forces that
conclusion, it would be inconceivable for them to be unaware. of something
on. this scale.
If they know, then they will know that. the abusers have broken laws in
the
UK and abroad. Recently the UK introduced laws against. electronic spying
which carry. a penalty of several years jail if caught. If the police know
illegal harassment is taking place,. and do nothing about it, then they
are
failing in their. responsibilities.
Last Easter (1995) I went into the local police. station in London and
spoke
to an officer about the harassment. against me. But I couldn't provide
tangible evidence; what people said, in many cases years ago, is. beyond
proof, and. without something to sup****t my statements I cannot expect a
police officer to take the. complaint seriously.
The current situation with regard. to the police is not one which allows a
breakthrough in dealing with the problem. On the one hand, most.
individual
officers at a local police station may not know about. the ongoing
assaults,
so a complaint. at that level will not yield results. Yet the police as an
organisation do know of. the harassment, and they must be aware that a
complaint has been made at a police station. So it is clearly their. duty
to
take preventative action against the continuing. molestation, but because
the criminals are operating on behalf of. a state agency, the police are
not
carrying. out their duty.
