The Police have limited financial resources despite what we are told about our governments commitment to law and order.
I had the drivers window ripped out of my car in my driveway by a petty thief.
The window was covered in tint film so despite the fact that the glass was shattered it stayed in one piece on the ground where it was dropped. Despite the fact that there was a clearly visible hand and finger prints on the film the police said they did not have the budget to get it checked.
I got into a conversation with the attending officer who told me that during a routine traffic stop he had found an illegal unlicensed fire arm.
He was unable to have the firearm tested and traced because of budget restrictions. It was months later by sheer co-incidence that the fire arm was linked to a crime in N.S.W.
If that is the state of play with crime prevention/detection how much luck do you think you are likely to have when it comes to finding or prosecuting an offender who is probably overseas.
