Re: police have been doing extremely well
"The police have been doing extremely well at catching drone operators operating around prisons......"
So they say.
Elsewhere, the UK public have a rather different experience, in general.
"County line" issues suddenly seem to be a prominent excuse for our largely dysfunctional police HQs failures over many years to respond to the will of the public. It goes back at least a decade or two, in my experirence.
I used to live in a pleasant soutn Birmingham suburb, in one Police Sector, and if crimes were committed by incomers from a different Policing Sector (y'know, like two kilometres away) there was apparently "very little that can be done" (officially).
I do absolutely agree that life for most of us would be a lot better if the chance of being nicked and held accountable for misdeeds was significantly greater than zero. So did quite a few feet on the street in the police. But they have more exciting things for HQ (and the justice system in general) to spend money on.
