- Staff Notice
Let me start by saying that when I was young, I had the utmost respect for the police. But, many years later that has been turned onto its head.
Without boring everyone, I have had a NFH (Neighbour From Hell) for over 10 years. He came out of prison and you name it, he's done it. Drugs, drink, prostitutes etc. But that was not the problem, he has systematically damaged my property at every opportunity. From crow-barring fences, to pouring bleach over my plants. From drilling the walls every day.... to heavy bass music. I could go on....
Suffice to say, I have called the police and what has been their response. Nothing! Different officers have repeatedly said to me they don't get involved in neighbour disputes and I should really learn to get on with them...
Even a complaint via police procedures got nowhere. The inspector who called me back said he has more important things to deal with and I don't appreciate what the police have to do with.
A common theme here, if it were not obvious, is that that the police turn things back on you and you're the problem. Even a complaint to the London Mayor's office got nowhere either.
So, what's the point of the police? If they don't enforce the law, what are they there for?
