HATO`s are an expensive way of "policing" our motorways, they are nothing more than AA men without the truck!
:clap: :clap: :clap:

waste of time an effort for a job thats already being done by police.
But doesnt that go back to originality of this thread…
When did you last see a copper on the motorway..
But i presume, get rid of HATO's, police re-appear….
Keep HATO's., see no police then..

Just Cruising up and down the motorways ALL DAY is a thing of the past, the "old guard" of white hair and moustaches with jam down their ties is long gone, hey they even arrest people now too
there are loads of unmarked cars about still though :wink: aswell as the loveable speed and average speed cameras they do part of the job i suppose :dontknow:

the point being PCSO`s and HATOS either arent clever enough or cant get in the police for other reasons…….lets face it if people are gonna hate you then you might aswell be hated for the right reasons! AND still have full law training and powers of arrest, pension etc
many people think they know all about policing, but its very obvious its still a very reserved occupation with its inner workings and methods, also is it because theres too many police programmes on tv now and people think they have it all worked out?
arm chair critics all over the place, they could never do the job though

I didn't mind watching that female copper singing the other night on the TV. She wanted to make a success of her singing so that she didn't have to go back to Policing. Not all coppers are bad :wink:
How did she get on?

What you will probably find as with all police forces they are saying to people
"oh sorry you missed out on the level by 1 point, but you can be a PCSO if you want?"
All the time its Government funded and the places are available they will keep filling them, as soon as the funding is pulled next year it will be a different story you see
No pesonal disrespect to your brother, and he is probably as frustrated with the role as others? but they arent an effective way of solving social problems, sometimes it just creates more as they cant resolve situation there and then.
What really needs to happen is for the country to have a "Cull" of all the wastes of space who cause all the social problems all the time, about 3% of the population are criminal or behave in an unaceptable way, "because they are under priveleged or poor" well thats the excuse they always give, but i know people less well off too and they dont feel the need to burn sofas at 2 am on their front porch and drink endless cans of cheap lager with the rest of the estate!! whilst carrying an 18 month old baby around dropping fag ash down its filthy clothing!, but then a cull is officialy called Genocide 8O , although it may work as i think its been tried and tested recently :dontknow: but i hear Yugoslavias and the Balkans is a nice place to go now though

Its not like that where I live, its quite nice. Dull, you could say. But from extensive research (watching the Jeremy Kyle Show) I know what you mean.
Unfortunately, I don't have the solutions at hand……or suggestions….I can't really go with the genocide option. The only thing that springs to mind is the USA waste a lot of money on planning space flights to the Moon and Mars - maybe that money could be better spent?

I believe another chap from history did experiments like the ones you suggest? his name was Doctor Mengeler (sp) though and worked for a certain A.H of Austrian decent
outer space is still to close for some!

As 'Top' says, we don't live there.. but know someone who does and yes I know it can't be nice for the people who live there either but the peer pressure to move away from the estates, rather than live with your mates, go out with your mats sister, commit crime with your mates and ultimately get sent to prison with your mates is just tooooo much for the doonbrains to comprehend. They wouldn't be able to hack living away from the pack on the estate with the back up it provides (hit me I'll get my 6 mates over to put you in hospita).
Maybe paul_c's moon and space exploration quote isn't that bad, the Shuttles could be offered to 'select' members of society who would be 'ambassadors' of earth and be shot off on the voyage never to be seen again.
Bit expensive…. the Slotting Squad idea has a better ring to it!!!
I think I need to sleep!! ops:
