CC of N Wales is only following the herd, I think Greater Manchester and Thames Valley(?) already run similar systems. I live in Wrexham and have seen some of Mr Brunstroms ideas in practice already, I have also been on the recieving end of a malicious complaint from some young kids and the eager follow up it got from the police. If they had been working to targets then, what chance would I have stood? It would have been an easy conviction, the hell with the truth. Whilst some measure of "productivity" would be good, will we just end up in a situation where conviction is based upon ease of effort for the officers concerned, why slog your guts out on an involved job when 40 motoring offences has you clear for the month? I am labeled anti Police by some, its rubbish like this scheme that winds me up. You will end up criminalising generally law abbiding people, while the shite that do not give a toss and make life a misery for the general population will get away with near murder if they make it complicated enough to prosecute them.
