In a good way, the police have presence

There's a difference between being seen and instilling fear.

When a copper is around, you feel scared, as it should be

Edited by DAS B00T x2: 6/13/2014 12:01:14 AMNo. You should feel safe, not afraid. I can't even see an cop around here without wondering if he's gonna try and make up some bullshit reason to flex his authority or fill a quota. It shouldn't be that way.

No, when an officer is around, you [i]do[/i] feel safe, but you are scared because you know there is no fu[i]c[/i]king around, you cock up and you are in the nick, no exceptions. It is not a fear of the cops or their power, it's the fear of your own criminal potential, and the consequences

[quote]>criminal potential No, I'm afraid to the victim of police stupidity and an idiotic quota system.[/quote] The police in the UK are excellent, really, very little corruption, well trained, fit, fairly approachable. Highly respected, i suppose it's a culture thing, the way they operate is mostly the same as how they have for many decades.

Lol, fearing a cop.
-
Well here in the UK we have police officers that do shit rather than taking bribes and eating doughnuts
