Hmm, it seems that they used the helecopter to hunt down a stolen
bicycle. Wonder how much that cost vs. the cost of the bike? Seems like
misuse to me, I'll remember that next time the fucking thing hovers over
mu house at 2am to shine it's searchlight on the farmer's fields out the
back as they often do. I dunno why they can't hover over the other side
of the field instead...

Tell me about it. They frequently hover over peaceful protesters too.
The police seem to have so much staff and money to waste on
disproportionate responses. You would think that with so much CCTV on
the ground they could track people without the need for helicopters. I
suppose it gives them a big thrill though. You can tell how excited
they get by watching...

You whinger. It's far worse in 'boro than out where you are. The bloody
thing is constantly overhead - usually trying to spot kids riding stolen
bikes (both motor and pedal) around Marton.

Only when it is "safe" to do so.
You know what I really dislike about those CRASH ACCIDENTS BY CRAP
DRIVERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA programmes? When the chasing police have to
"give up" the chase when the danger outstrips any possible benefit of
catching the "alleged villains". And once more the "villains" get away
cocking a snook at the police.

And the ones you support too. It helps them spot developing trouble much
earlier and to direct ground forces into the area to control it.

One of the criticisms of CCTV is that they don't stop crime - they simply
move it to areas that are not covered.

As the pilots are almost invariaby ex-military (they are also civilians, not
Police) it is probably pretty tame stuff to them.
