Re: The respect on police
 

I voted one, the only thing they have done around here, ever, which didn't make a difference, was find a torture room with no one in it.
Well the have caught people before, but not many people and it hasn't made a difference to crime, normally they are too fat and slow to catch anyone anyway.

And the only thing I hear about them doing in the rest of the country is hunting innocent motorists and sending armies out to find out about two little rich girls who have gone missing.

I have the fullest respect for the Swedish police. IMO they do a great job but they need more resources, I'd like to see more police officers on patrol.

Re: The respect on police
 

Depends on the reason as to why they entered the police force, if they joined because is it something that they really wanted to do and to help the community etc etc then I have respect for them. If however they joined because they lacked qualifications for other jobs and are just doing it without really caring (and doing a poor job) then they dont have my respect. I respect people who are hard working and dedicated to their profession, whatever it is. I hold policemen in no higher esteem than abulance crews, doctors, nurses etc. or fire fighters.

I'm making an assumption here (based on other Asian countries) that it's possible to buy your way out of nearly anything. Just out of interest, how much would a minor traffic offence cost; speeding for example?

Re: The respect on police
 

I respect what the police department stands for and those who serve justice with pride. However some of those seem to be total "close to a bunch of nazis" right winged whores who rather abuse their position then use it. Most of the police is doing a fine ob though, let that be clear.

Re: The respect on police
 

Police are over worked and underpaid..Other than the military, have the highest risks. With all positions of higher power comes higher responsibility, humans are humans, greed, power etc. There will always be a few bad apples in the mix, but respect and support the vast majority who put there lives on the line to protect your way of life.

What is a policeman's salary?

Re: The respect on police
 

It varies, they don't have a complete list on the site http://www.police-information.co.uk/...dpensions.html but IIRC you can get 100,000 + in the higher jobs

As for respect, for the police in England, you're barking up the wrong tree. If I get into trouble I'll trust to myself and call the police once it's over thanks all the same, they're so crappy where I live that I find the knives in the kitchen a much more reassuring thing than the police station in town.
