Correction - too busy being told to police us for 'our safety' such as if we're not wearing a helmet whilst riding a bike, or doing 5kph over the limit.. but home invasions... I guess low down on their risk assessment priorities for the government to priorities Vicpol to address that area.
They seem to be very worried about our safety when it comes to some $'s to be made... but when it comes to real safety where criminals are involved... all a matter of time.
I don't blame the police. Anyone working a job where the boss backs them up 100% in one area, and leaves them out to dry in another will do what they're going to be commended and backed up for.
The government backs up the police completely when it comes to minor traffic infringements - both via policies, regulations and via media advertisement. But when it comes to dealing with repeat or violent criminals - they can't get them back out on the streets quick enough. Why would the police would bother when they're not backed up by the courts and government...
Interesting to hear that talk back radio says to dial 000... I wonder how many people are going to die over the next 24 months taking on that advise.
