Do you think that we should bring back the "Old Fashioned" policing methods of "The Sweeney"?

Question

Inspector Jack Regan would have said to his side-kick:

"Hoy,George! Look at that bunch o' Shifty-eyed Gits! Let's F**KIN' Nick 'Em"

"Hoy,Sunshine! you're nicked!"

Don't you yearn for the days when the Goodies were Goodies. And the Baddies were Baddies!

And none of this "Victim" friggin' rubbish.

Answer 1

No of course not many people are innocent and the churches would be firmly against such policy as would the people what you are suggesting would ultimately lead to tyranny and not to mention acts of inhumane action you sound barbaric with such notions a system needs to be in place to balance things and make life punishment and excution of princpal at least civil what your suggesting would violate the very thing your seeking to pursue righteousness in any event the act to pursue justice otherwise would be hypocritcal do you not see your own wrongs ultimately your system would land you in h**l as christ the lord was against such and if your not religious consider the acts of which you speak of to familes and such ultimately such a system would be challenged and over thrown as it was in jesus days consider your own mistakes and your own familes feelings thier is no bad guy thier is no good guy not even batman in his comics beat down the joker but rather sent him to court to be locked away in humane arkam insane asylum its your hypocrisy that blinds you from the truth thier is only order and choas the law is thier to preserve order not to punish or become a ruthless tyrant you should first consider yourself treat others as you would want to be treated have you yourself not done wrong in some form matthew 18:25-35 if you beat down others then thats jow yourself ask to be treated if you have no mercy for others whop ask or are under privaleged then you yourself do not want mercy when you ask it or help when your in need of it  no longer in a advantageous position not everyone has it easy or knows better in the broader sense consider africa and the books old uncle toms cabin and huckleberry fin consider the mistakes of your youth or the progaming effect of media and peer pressure have you no love for your lost twin brother who might have been you if circumstnces were differnt do you consider not the wild culture or difficulties that might lead one to do wrong or are you only concerned with your own preservation and well being that you do not consider the less fortunate or foolish even as wise solomon said a wise man learn from wise counsels a smart man learn from his own mistakes a fool never learns at all for who is the so called bad guy but him who has acted foolishly for if he had been wise would he not know then better ways to get what he yerns for and needs or do you consider that all man kind is evil bring back your actions to a hypocrisy for a rod is for the backs of fools but to what is punishment that has already learned his lesson but revenge shall then everyone have revenge upon you for every mistake that you make in anothers eyes by his own interpretation but that is what you suggest and the hypocrisy of it ot mirror it back to you that you might consider those thoughts more closely and regard mercy and help for the foolish one and less fortunate

Answer 2

I would say your right.  These muslims would behave themselves or be dead.

Answer 3

WHAT,...Working for a living and catching criminals and that!...what do you think we are?  We don.t mind all the boozing and that..and drunk driving,..we,re doing that now,..and running people down while we are speeding around the streets for no particular reason!But let.s not start bringing WORK into it!...we.re just here for the pension!

Answer 4

Not arf George. Smack 'em abaht a bit an don't tell Inspector 'askins. I remember the 70's ( what an old git I am ), and people were a bit happier then because sweeney style policing was simple and straightforward, as was life itself really. Unfortunately that way of life is gone forever. Best get used to political correctness and bewildering choice.

Answer 5

I know what you mean.........I tend to agree.

Sometimes it is blatantly obvious the people are guilty but we p***y foot around for months costing the tax payer a fortune & they get an £80 fine with a couple of hrs community service

Answer 6

Yes!The sooner the better!

Answer 7

Unfortunately the kind of practises used in the Sweeney and other such shows were a little near the knuckle and one of the reasons why the Police and Criminal Evidence Act of 1984 (PACE) was brought in.  Pre PACE the Police could get away with bending and breaking certain rules which in itself is wrong.

These days, things are a little more ordered, as they should be but we are leaning a little too far the other way now in favour of the criminals if you ask me.

That said, common sense policing is slowly making a return and the more it gathers momentum, the better it will be for the masses who want to see a return to 'proper' policing.  I for one am in favour of that.

Answer 8

criminals deserve whatever they get

Answer 9

Sorry to state the obvious, but...  "THE SWEENEY" AND "LIFE ON MARS" ARENT REAL... THEY ARE FICTIONAL TV SHOWS.

Answer 10

I hated The Sweeney, bunch of idiots, not much changes then lol
