The number of offences carried out by criminals using mopeds in London has increased by 30 times in five years.

Data obtained by the BBC shows a jump from 827 offences in 2012 to more than 23,000 last year.Shocked

Police insisted they had not lost control of moped crime but "there was more work to do". Laugh

During the period covered by the figures, more than 40% of such offences happened in just two boroughs.

A Met Police superintendent said the surge in Camden and Islington was "disappointing", (Crazy) but new measures were helping to reduce offending.

Sums the forum up.

What "Liberal luvvies"?
When has ANYONE defended the bastrads who commit these crimes?

The whole thing is righteous indignation and blame!

Report detraveller June 6, 2018 12:33 PM BST
I have said time and again that labels like liberal lovies, lefties, muslim apologists etc etc are out there to keep the sheep busy.

The moped issue is actually about a law that holds police personnel responsible(after due investigation) for injuries to suspects during chase. This was an existing law. it wasn't created by liberal lovies who just infiltrated the police force. The argument is, that this law should be scrapped so that police officers can actually catch a criminal instead of worrying about their own job.

Two weeks ago, the govt did present proposals to change this law. And to make it absolutely clear in the law that during a chase, the criminal will himself be responsible for injuries. Of course that didn't make it to this thread, because there weren't any labels to be passed around. But until this moment, no one even bothered to ask the lawmakers how they were progressing because assuming that all of them are liberal luvvies is much more fun than inquiring what their progress is.

I am not denying that there are serious issues in England related to PC and stuff. But when you start assigning each of these issue a label and then keep beating the label, you are actually helping the very people who aren't doing their job.

For a start the police need to be given proper powers to stop and search,tap telephones,go after moped drivers etc
This is a typical example of you giving the police too many powers for an issue that can simply be solved by a small adjustment in law. it is a different matter altogether that the purpose of most of the issues in England today is to convince you that you need to give the govt more power.
Report lfc1971 June 6, 2018 2:31 PM BST
detraveller the existing law that you say has been in place for many years that holds police responsible for injuries to suspects during a chase does not exist (in that sense, of course the police are accountable if they hit someone over the head)

The law doesn't exist? Are you sure?

Not relevant to what I said. No one is talking about hitting anyone. You seem to not have grasped the issue at all,hence your denial of the existence of such a law.

By the way, I never said liberal luvvies don't exist. I just said using liberal luvvies as a punching bag is not gonna get you anywhere. Asking the right people the right questions is required. Which no one wants to do. Because. The liberal luvvies punching bag.

Report detraveller June 6, 2018 6:27 PM BST
Here's something to at least get you away from the liberal luvvies punching bag and more closer to the law im talking about.

Under current law, the same legal test for careless and dangerous driving offences is applied to police and the general public.
This is in contrast to the laws where the police don't need to care about red lights, traffic signs etc etc when in pursuit.
As i mentioned, govt has already proposed changes. And anyone who wants to know more can direct his frustrations there, instead of just punching the liberal luvvies label. That was the point.

Good to see you have at least accepted the existence of the law. Now its neither here nor there, which I am assuming is the less severe form of something not existing at all.

If you have made up your mind that the liberal lovies are behind all this, I woldn't try to change your mind. Don't have time to waste on that(not just with you, but the subject in general).

Irrespective of whether you or me are right, my initial position was that there are specific people that can be held responsible for moped issue. But no one is bothering to ask them because everyone is automatically assuming some invisible liberal luvvies are behind it. It might well be 100% true. But why do people find it so hard to question the responsible people in the govt, instead of just whining about the invisible liberal lovies?

The day when all the police are armed draws nearer.

The first obstacle to overcome is the fuss that is made after a criminal is shot by a policeman. Where the police officer is suspended while an enquiry takes place.

This is unacceptable and puts the police officer in the dock for doing his job.
A quick judgement should be made by the officer's commanding officer in these cases and settled on the spot, with little of this suspension business and long-winded enquiries.

We're at the point where police officers are reluctant to carry firearms because of the above.

The latest Metropolitan police crime figures show a seasonal pattern to moped related crimes.

From 2012 to 2017, the late spring and early summer months all see a steady increase in the number of recorded offences committed by a criminals using a moped, scooter or motorcycle.

But, over that same period, every August experiences a marked drop in moped muggings and raids, with July often showing a similar decline.

It is understood that some robbers take August off to fly to Mediterranean party islands where entrance to the top clubs and DJ shows can cost hundreds of pounds.
