English Constables give speeders chocolates instead of tickets on traffic stops

[jmur5074]

What an asinine idea....it promotes speeding.

And yeah, I've heard chocolate can kill dogs.....why is it so deadly to a dog???

Because next they want diamonds...

[jmur5074]

Let's not get into that. People will start asking me what happened to my ex girlfriends.


just kidding! :p

I didn't give them diamonds. hahahaha!

[Johninaustin]

Please, not to dogs and/or other pets. Chocolate could be
dangerous, even possibly deadly, to your Dog! :eek:

If that's true I have a zombie Dachshund. Heck, he ate powdered BLEACH and it didn't kill him. :eek:

"As mayor I regularly received complaints about speeding and this does appear to trivialise the whole thing.

Ya think? :rolleyes:

Dangit, why doesn't IPD ever do anything cool like this? :mad:

[jmur5074]

This is gonna lead to a marked increase in speeding women. You watch. :p

It's a good thing the cops aren't handing out flowers!

So if my child steals something from the store, the store should give him a trophy and say "Now don't do it again?"

Then again, if you think about it, all someone who just lost a job and is about to be tossed in the street has to do is simply...

1. Commit a felony (My dad did that at 19 by taking a test drive with a new car and driving it across state lines... like from OK to NV... he coudln't figure out how to take it back. Okkkkkkkkkkkkkk) anyway... once the felony occurs, refuse counsel, and voila... take the full sentence. Food, tv, recreation, a bed, not the greatest ambiance I admit but hey, it's FREE. So what if you have to help in the kitchen, or wash clothes or floors?

Seems to me that we already reward idiots for breaking the law in this country. I don't know what OTHER system there should be but there has to be a better way to not burden the law abiding citizens with the care and prosecution of the criminals.

Oh well... Utopia is just a myth right?

Right I'm off on me motorcycle to wang up and down in the Wyre forest.

All I've got to do is find an empty heart shaped box and I'm sorted for the wife xmas pressie. :D :cool:

[MisterK]

New verb of the day for K: To Wang

I wang
You wang
He/she/it wangs
We wang
They wang
You (pl) wang

Got it.. thanks.. I feel smarter.

[Babysmamadrama]

Hope you Brits keep that over there. I would hate to eat crow after telling some many people "We aren't handing out puppy dogs and candy canes around here." :D

[Oldbillplod]

I'd like to get input from some of our English cops here...

I think its better if I dont reply.

[oscarmitre]

Glad I don't work there. I say either ticket them or warn them. Give them a sweet and they'll just look at you funny.

With Specials being reserves there'll also be the smartass comments of "you're only giving me this sweet cos you can't ticket me!"

Is Nigel Mansell still a Special there Manxman?

[Manxman]

Nah...he left ages ago. Funniest bit was, he was never allowed to drive police vehicles!

[CPDZone9]

And yeah, I've heard chocolate can kill dogs.....why is it so deadly to a dog???

If they ingest too much (it REALLY doesn't take much) it can kill them (chocolate poisoning)...they start having seizures & heart problems almost immediately. Because of a chemical that's like caffeine. Called "theobromine," I think. I'll look it up again, though.

Looked it up shortly after I got my dog & heard about it years ago.
