when commuting to work,my thoughts no,because your time to go to work should be your own personnel time,plus they can be targets of abuse and if they did try to arrest people,they could be in personel danger,since some people are very unpredictable particulary if they are on drugs or drunk a lot of alcohol.
Also in their own communitys they and their familys might be targets for bullying even worse. My dad was in the prison service and our house was in a community of known criminals and so we were targets for bullying by the neighbours kids. I know the person that suggested this was to show the public police around,but he has not thought this idea through very well .

I think they should wear them all the time. Even in bed.

They shouldn't wear uniform unless they have all their kit (pepper spray, ASP baton, cuffs, radio etc). Oh, and the ability to call back-up, make arrests and generally be fully functioning police people.

If I thought for one second that Armed Response Officers could take home their H&K G36 assault rifles and Sig Sauer P226 handguns, you would be address me as Constable Alph or Officer Hooligan. ;D

Actually, I think the police should still be wearing the same kind of uniform as they did in the 1920s. Attachments:

More likely scenario these days — the UP just does some Twittery stuff on her dayglo pink iPhone, and the copper gets kicked to death before you can say ElloElloEllo. It's a common enough SF theme come true — the Flash Mob. |

This seems like a typical Tory simple idea that turns out to be much more complicated when you think about it a bit.

He used to go to Mass where I was an altar boy, and lived in the same burb. That was when he was on BBC Look North. But we weren't synchronised. GWD is Great World Debate. I've seen you on there, Aub. Never could get the hang of MCL. The name puts me off for a start. |

Sillies. The MCL has noomberless picture games to play. You could just visit them.  Frank Bough would. |

Maybe I should give MCL another chance. Have the Powers-That-Be at the Stub been busy covertly rolling out a New Plan for Web Domination by infiltrating other MBs? And have I inadvertently, probably subliminally, got caught up in the colonising process? No wonder They've silenced Jean. Where will it all end?  |
