How long before NZ follows suit...

[Griffin]

Now this takes the cake... (exert from an article in Police Mag)

South Wales senior Police Officers are drawing up new guidelines advising Dog Handlers to take into account the feelings of criminals who are afraid of animals, before setting Police Dogs on them.
They are also advising Dog Handlers to be aware that some criminals may be allergic to dog hair. The new guidelines are intended to "avoid causing offence".
Peter Vaughan, Deputy Cheif Constable of South Wales Police, who is overseeing the Association of Chief Police Officers guidelines on the use of Police Dogs, which are to be published later this year, revealed the plans.
DRAFT GUIDELINES
He told 'The International Press': "The draft guidelines outline a general principle that forces should consider what steps can be taken to avoid offending people. This might include different categories of people such as those with a fear of dogs, for example, or asthma sufferers who may be sensitive to dog hair."

One person with a Phobia of confined spaces , has escaped a jail sentance here in New Zealand already...

[Usarka]

you are right.....


:innocent:

[Griffin]

Dont most criminals have a fear of Police... so is it fair that we as good citizens exacerbate that fear by calling the Police. No - it isnt, so from now on, please save your local violent offender / home invader / night prowling burglar any further distress by not calling the Police. The crim has enough on his / her plate already without dealing with having to face his fears.

Hey Copper... You can't shoot me.

I'M ALLERGIC TO BULLETS!

[Usarka]

I'm allergic to bacon......

[Strang0r]

This sounds like just the sort of PC crap that Labour would push for....

[MisterD]

criminals have rights too

You have the right to be bitten
You have the right to fall down the stairs...

[slofox]

Well I'm allergic to going slow on the motorbike yer onner.......

[scumdog]

criminals have rights too

More the pity.

(And not if I had my way, I'd prune a shit-load of 'rights' from them. Losers.)

[Laava]

Next thing you know, they will be complaining that the bus ticket is too wet and chaffing their little handywands!

[mowgli]

criminals have rights too

... lefts as well but neither should be used to commit crimes.

Do unto others as you would have done to you. When you deliberately molest another's rights, you ought to expect the same in return. Burn them!

[Swoop]

Fucken soft-cock, pencil-dicked, shit for brains, poofters who dreamed up that piece of shit idea.
Retards.

Edit: Pissant public servant scum-sucking maggots that dreamt up this bullshit set of rules...

[Daffyd]

Might as well get rid of police dogs, then.

[Pussy]

I feel sorry for the police dogs! Imagine having to get a mouthful of some of the pondscum they get sicked on to?

[Drew]

Rather absurd I think, but I imagine there will be a large outburst over it, and the guidelines will be re-written, to mean the same thing, but not re-released for public viewing.

Cant have the public upset, we'll not tell them shit instead.

Swoop, Ive heard that your a meek and humble kinda guy who doesnt really like to give his point of view... but for gods sake... wil you just for once say what you mean...? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[enigma51]

Im with nodrog people should be treated as equal and therefore has rights

[Dave Lobster]

It's Waeles. WTF do you expect??

:buggerd:

[scumdog]

If you knew NZ dog-handlers you would know their bellows would be heard from North Cape to Bluff.

Follows by the girlish screams of their over-sensetive clients.

That the handlers care sweet f.a. about.

[Okey Dokey]

How do the writers of such nonsense dream it up? They really must be out of their minds!

Sick 'em, Fang!

[PrincessBandit]

What a crock of [dog] shit (what the op was referring to, not other people's comments here!) I really cant understand why someone who breaks into my home, violently attacks me, steals my hard earned belongings etc etc etc should have more rights than me. Oh, sorry, how mean and self centred of me. I must really learn to put the needs of criminals before myself as I'm such a privileged member of society to have a job, a house, a car.... (all of these things of course just fell into my lap, I didn't have to actually work for them).
If dog handlers had to lose their working companions how long do you reckon before other forms of police weaponry are gotten rid of as well? Shit, we can't have crims being hurt in their line of "employment" can we. Perhaps they could form a union with their own OSH guidelines, including the scrapping of the use of police dogs, guns, tazers, batons, handcuffs (can cause chaffing on their poor 'ittle wristies)... :shit:

Well, the usual way "controversial" policy is rammed through is:

1. Extreme / over the top policy is mooted
2. Huge public outcry
3. Policy is "watered down in response to the public". This was in fact the policy really wanted
4. Gullible public breath a sigh of relief, despite the fact that if the end result was originally proposed, there would have been huge opposition.

It's all about managing expectations....

[CB ARGH]

So by looking at shop video footage of them nicking 2000 bucks outa some poor asses till, the plods can determine that the offender is allergic to dog hair, therefore they must not let that hungry dog snack on his balls.

Bull shit!

I find it hard to even believe that this whole thing is true.:confused:

[PrincessBandit]

criminals have rights too
because.....(see below)




(And not if I had my way, I'd prune a shit-load of 'rights' from them. Losers.)

understood because.....(see below)

When a felon's not engaged in his employment
his employment
Or maturing his felonious little plans
little plans
His capacity for innocent enjoyment
'cent enjoyment
Is just as great as any honest man's
honest mans
Our feelings we with difficulty smother
'culty smother
When constabulary duty's to be done
to be done
Ah, take one consideration with another
with another
a policman's lot is not a happy one
happy one

There, all solved. G and S were onto it!!

[PrincessBandit]

Not unless it's Captain Adorable.

Having lived in South Wales for 23 years I find it very easy to believe this.

I have mates in the South Wales Constabulary who get very frustrated by the PC bullshit they have to put up with.

One of them has been told he will never progress beyond the rank of Constable. All because he caught tweo under age joy riders one night. While lecturing them in his patrol vehicle a fatal rta was announced so he took them to see what would become of them if they continued on the path they were. He made sure the two seventeen year olds saw the victims. My mate got hauled over the coals for traumatising the poor little arseholes.

Same friend was on motorway patrol. Told to drive to one spot on the motorway and sit there as the South Wales Police force only had 1 weeks petrol at the time and they werent to chase anyone. This all changed when the police suddenly got 10 UK pounds per traffic infringement paid to them.

Sign of the times

IIRC, it was the Beiderbecke Tapes (1987, written by Alan Plater) that publicised this government practice to the gullible british public.

Yet still it's happening today.

I'm quite sure it happens here too.. but the press are too stupid (or bought. Or both!) to see it.
