Operation Crackdown

My local police are trying this out:

It's good I found out about this a while ago, because I'm about to shop some stupid woman for driving whilst on her mobile. She cut me up on my bike whilst I was signalling to turn right at a junction, and if I wasn't at least half aware I'd have been road pizza. I've waited ages to be able to do this, although I doubt much will come of it. Still, if the police turn up at her house for a chat, maybe she'll change her ways.

Do your local police operate anything similar?

I'd rather they crack down on crack heads, theives, rapists and murderers first...

Another fringe crime to get the stats up.

At least I have the satisfation that the woman who cut me up might get a letter/visit from the police. I mean, they have to do something with their time!

My thoughts exactly.

"Reg plate P666 TBH cut me up and raped my spider plant"
"sir, we'll send him and his car down for longer than Henry Kelly"
"I didn't know cars went to prison"
"They do now sir. They do now. Oh p.s. your council tax may increase to pay for these car prisons."
"oh. K."
