Theft from cars have become “effectively decriminalised” in London according to experts after it was revealed that the Metropolitan Police made charges in less than one per cent of vehicle thefts in the capital last year.
Out of the nearly 55,000 thefts from vehicles in London last year, Scotland Yard only solved 271, representing just an 0.5 per cent success rate, according to an analysis of Home Office data conducted by The Telegraph. Due to the scale of the London metropolitan area and its relatively high crime rate, the number of vehicle thefts recorded by police represented nearly one in four of all those recorded in England and Wales.
According to the broadsheet, only two major police forces faired worse than London in successfully charging car thieves, with the West Midlands and Surrey police forces only maintaining a 0.4 per cent charging rate.
Other forces, however, have performed significantly better than the Met, including the Dyfed-Powys Police, which is responsible for the Welsh counties of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys, having recorded a charge rate of 5.6 per cent, ten times the rate recorded by Scotland Yard.
Commenting on the failures of London to tackle the issue, the head of the Police Foundation think tank Rick Muir said that the British capital has seen the “effective decriminalisation” of car thefts and that policing failures are incentivising more thieves to commit the crime as they do no worry about actually being apprehended.
“Victims of these kinds of these crimes would not expect to get the same level of priority as more serious offences,” Muir said. “But, at the same time, there are certain things the public expect of police, one of which is that they will at least investigate these bread and butter crimes.
“Policing is going to have to look at these levels and decide if it has got it right. Where the charge rates are at that level, there is no deterrence to commit these kinds of offences and it might encourage people to commit them in future.”

I think that hanging niggers and pakis would be a much more simple solution.

Do you respond to race baiting posts too lmao

this is actually far more common than realized.
even when everyone says 13/50, in reality the numbers are much different. because those stats are based on ARRESTS.
nationally, the arrest rate for murder isn't even 50%. in urban areas where murders mostly occur, that rate plummets.
in chicago, 83% of murders go without arrest. if you commit a murder in chicago, you have basically a 4/5 out chance of getting away with it.
but for NON FATAL crime? plummets even further. if you non-fatally shoot someone in chicago, you have a 95% chance of getting away with it.
i don't see this mentioned much. most people are dumb.
but this goes to the point; crime rates in chicago indicates that black people commit the majority of crime. ***but those are based on arrest rates***.
****WHEN 90% OF VIOLENT CRIME IS GOING WITHOUT ARREST; WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE RACE OF MOST OF THE PERPS. WE CAN EXTRAPOLATE, HOWEVER, FROM THE ONES WE DO KNOW. NOW DO THE MATH ON WHAT THAT WORKS OUT TO.****

Guaranteed there'd be a massive police response if you tried to stop any of the thieves yourself, and you'd be prosecuted as severely as possible.

That's really weak. Usually there is some DNA left so if you want to prosecute this, you can achieve a better rate.

my man you live in the CCTV capital of the world, where people got arrested for wearing a mask as they walked past a police biometric scanning station on the sidewalk
>import shitskins >more surveillance!
is literally the history of your country since Tony Blair got elected

Imagine living in a city where your insurance costs more than your car

The UK has perfected the system of anarcho tyranny, It is one of the most monitored countries in the world where you can go to prison for years what is basically a thoughtcrime yet rampant criminality both violent and nonviolent is ignored.
I refuse to believe that the UK government doesn't have a database of all of it's legal inhabitants and possibly illegal gathered through AI and inperson tracking.
From experience many areas are impossible to to enter without appearing on camera, Estates were purposely built with bottlenecks in access points to insure at least one viewing of anyone entering the general area. with the advent of cheap cameral technology I imagine entire area's are covered in HD without you even suspecting it compared to old bulky stationary cameras that were clearly visible.
What confuses me is that the government doesn't tax drug use and prostitution in the someway Holland has for example. It would be a gigantic revenue source. I suspect that the government indirectly runs some of these criminal enterprises and simply collects untraceable money.

They figured out using drugs and alcohol to control populations centuries years ago. The whole Opium Wars aside, I remember reading gin was basically invented so that they could have cheap powerful liquor to keep the working class incapacitated

It makes sense when you realize that terror is the foundation of communist domestic politics. The proles should not feel safe in any aspect of their life, in any place

Can someone explain to me why the state is literally just decriminalizing all crime? What the actual fuck is going on? Can they not afford to enforce their own laws? If they don't want the laws, why keep the laws? Yet they never fail to find the vigilantes. What is the theory of statecraft where the state literally just stops deciding to be a state? Enforcing the law is like rule #1.
Jordan Sanchez
It won't, but it would stop people from being able to wrong think about it. Mean racist tweets are the real crime.
