Vic gun thieves eavesdrop on cops to target firearms

[1290]

And up here they just lose them………

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-05-19/g ... ection=qld

Did I say I hate the media??.... random stock photo of Beretta 92... "A hand gun lying on a table with bullets around it, September 2007. Good gun, weapon generic." Relevance zero, as usual...of course cartridges isnt as sexy as 'bullets'

The beat up:
"QPS did not elaborate on how the two firearms initially went missing, but said they were "recovered within a short space of time"."

So in other words they were recovered quickly, but the image of the horrible pistol with random 9mm rounds and the headline GUNS......lost....stolen....really 'sells it' for these parasites...

ON the matter of 'misplacing' prohibited items, we, as mere citizen would have our proverbials reamed if WE lost them, not that we're trustworthy enough for such items of mass genocide like body armour..

The best part of the story though;

Assistant Commissioner O'Reagan said high-risk equipment is kept under tight control.

OK, what does he describe as tight control??

"We take security of all restricted items very seriously..............My handcuffs and baton are checked every three months ...."

every 3... thats THREE months!!!
dang wheres my baton gone, I only checked it last year!!

I can hear my local police. I won't say how, but, it ain't a scanner. You'd be surprised at what they say "over the air" sometimes instead of using mobile phones (no reception maybe?).

Criminals will always find ways of doing their deeds.

In NSW, every public servant with a computer had months and months of access to a restricted database. There's no way that this was a simple mistake.

God knows what information was taken and was/might be used one day.

I'm starting to think that personal defense of your home and person with a firearm should be allowed.

You ever seen a person go berko on ice?

probably the same as me on the radios in me house and my cars it's NOT illegal to listen only acting on the information is .

The cops these days lack initiative.

They could catch some crooks by setting up a sting by announcing an inspection at some bogus address and then sit and wait or put some sort of monitoring to catch them in the act.

No, the really scarey bit is the fact it is an on going thing, year after year!

The number of missing items last year is comparable to the last five years.

I dunno if anyone knows... But who would initiate an operation like that?

I guess the average cop on the street doesn't have the authority to do it and is just doing the orders that come down the line.

Is there anyone at a station level who could start such a thing? Or only the higher ups?

Why go to bother setting up sting operations for criminals when they can trawl facebook and bust legitimate LAFOs on trumped up charges.

This will end up being shame on who ever jumped to conclusions about this photo on face value and a public apology may follow.

This apparently was NOT a crime. A culled animal for a farmer as per discussions on AHN by people in the know.

Police said they could not make further comment.

Is that code for we don't admit we did something stupid
