Where are the Police?

[eddie mitchell]

From that posting Scotty, I am assuming you like putting the boot down out in the sticks. but surely that is anti social ( take a stroll round Kilkerran if you doubt this).

Sorry but you have lost me there what are you talking about . As for the scum try the people that are walking about the town out their heads on smack that have appeared in the town in the last couple of years. [/quot] My god if there are smack heeds in the town watch out it can spread like a virus,and what are they doing getting housing is sum one profiting from this?

Has anyone else noticed the graffiti on the seat thing across from nickle and dime?? quite an eyesore - especially if u wrk there!!

Probably no one in police station at this time-would all be in queue at the "chippy" to fill their bellies.

Like everywhere else, the Police are very thin on the ground. If you look at it on number of officers per head of population you'll probably find Campbeltown is pretty well served, albeit it may not appear that way. If an arrest is made then, dependent on what the offence is, two officers could be engaged in enquires in the station for a number of hours.

well going by this weeks courier every thing in the garden is hunky dory.polis are on top of the drugs problem,and there's no so many eejits racing roon the toon @ night .do theese people no go oot ot efter dark???

The Police disbanded in 1984 when Sting decided to save the rain forests

They reformed in the summer of 86 for Amnesty International's Conspiracy of Hope Tour.

Who said they were in Campbeltown?...De Do Do Do...De Da Da Da

Steady on, old lovey.

Something has been puzzling me about the Police. We're told that they have video footage of the person they think might have spray painted the Davaar cave painting but has anyone actually seen this?

Why has it not appeared in the Courier and the Oban Times, or on this and other local websites?

Do the Police actually want to identify this person, if only to eliminate them from enquiries, or is there some reason why they don't want to find them?

Anyone for a conspiracy theory?

simple answer, as my learned friend should know,nothing appears on the Courier website, of any relevence, unless it is an advert for another Oban Times group publication

[Sweltered]

Wonderful!!!!

Looked at the courier website while on this thread, and I see the community council is praising the police.....guess you are all wrong, coz the community council is never wrong....

Ah Rumpole, are you really that out of date. Please have a word with She who must be obeyed. Our modern crime-fighters are much too busy chasing those who dont wear seatbelts or the people who stray above the speed limit to be chasing latter day revolutionaries or graffiti artists. I have heard of the alleged video but I dont think it proves Chummy even had a car.

Of course, if he'd parked on Longrow and out-stayed his welcome they'd have had him bang-to-rights...

Is this the standard fine for being 20mph over the speed limit your honour?

Wouldn't know myself, old darling, not usually dirtying my hands with a civil case when there are plenty of nice juicy criminal cases doing the rounds.

Fair Portia tells me that 60 quid and 3 points is pretty much the norm though, unless he was getting into 3 figures on the old speedometer.

The other fella - £200 and a three month ban - probably topping the ton on the motorway. Probably didn't pass 'The Attitude Test' when stopped as well.

[campbeltownx]

Rumpole. Was definately not doing over the ton on a motorway!! Was actually 83 miles an hour in a 60. A class road, dry conditions, straight rd etc. No attitude to cops except fair cop!!

Does seem a bit steep then, old flower. Perhaps the judge was having a migraine.
