Good for you ...have your rant, I will read it to a mother who is burying her child after some selfish prikc has killed her child in a road accident while going too fast.
It would be interesting to know who you would phone if your home was broken into tonight or if you were in danger...........
Stop being so selfish and grow up.....the emergency services in the UK are worth every penny that they are paid.
( EDIT) So that you know the type of person we are responding to have a look at the other questions he has asked!!!

You go out there and get shot at, stabbed, spat on and abused you stupid twa-. PS not a cop
EDIT 1. Before asking questions learn to spell. PAID not PAYED |

In response to your rant - you are the reason why a pay raise is needed. Policing ignorance as well as crime is without a doubt a thankless job - but we don't want verbal thanks - why work for a dollar a day for $10 worth of daily work?
Cretins like yourself justfy law enforcement pay increases - fore not for us you wouldn't enjoy your simple human rights even here in YA.

All of the emergency services deserve a decent pay rise. We however are the only ones who cannot strike. We gave that up some years ago for an indexed linked pay award. The government have reneged on this but still wish to restrict our private lives.
They also went to arbitration knowing full well they were going to do their own thing. This was just a delaying tactic to save them more money.
This government has done nothing more than to waste money hand over fist. MP's earning 60K a year and having expenses in the region of 120K a year. They talk about saving money but fail to look at themselves.
As for you.... you are just another sad person that floats about this site with nothing constructive to say. If you want to make a difference become a Special Constable. I doubt you would be suitable anyway!!!! |

Erm, why on earth do you think the police don't deserve a pay rise?? they have in Scotland, just not in England.. you think that is fair? yeah the police may not be perfect, but who do you turn to if something goes wrong in your life? i.e your house gets robbed, you get attacked, your family member gets attacked? do you not use the police? if there is a riot outside your front door.. do not want the police to be there and try and stop/control the situation? you see someone attacked on the street are you going to stop it or call the police?? please they do a hard job, for little enough reward, they deserve to get treated fairly!! bloody 18k isn't a huge amount.. grow up!!!
Edit: well said tony t.. I guess the poster has just had a speeding ticket.. you should vent your anger on the people who make stupid laws not the people who try to uphold them.. they are simply doing their job,, and cleaning toilets (as someone else said, well you ain't exactly putting your life on the line when you go into work are you???? FFS!!! OH AND £3 per hour??? are you working illegally??? there is a national minimum wage....???? |

ok who you gonna call.theirs a very bad man in your house.naked with a knife. now do wish u had supported a raise. |

If you saw a gunman walking around, who would you call?
The Police,
More and more officers are getting shot or stabbed, like Fire fighters and the other emergencies it is a demanding job. All three should be paid more than soccer stars. |

without the police force whether you agree with the salary or not the country would be in a right mess!
Police, Nurses, Fire.......Binmen... add a bit on the bottom of your question and tell us what you do for a living...
hope you dont need the police/ambulance/nurse doctor any time soon! got a good idea leave your name and address, then when you call after an incident you can get blanked. ....
I really really want to know what you do! you wouldnt per chance be on the dole!!!!!!! |

Yes they don't need a payrise they've only just done a multimillion world tour, and anyway they haven't released anything new in years. |

People like you make me sick! Are you for real? Walk a mile in their footsteps and then comment further...
You have no idea at how frustrated the Police are because of 'red-tape' and dodgy 'judges', they do the best they can, while risking the lives of themselves and their loved ones...
They deserve 'more' but you need to 'learn' more... |

Yeah 18k a year? That's far too much! Personally I would face personal abuse, unsociable hours and the prospect of being shot by some little scrote who will probably get away scot-free because he is a victim of society for half that! And as for protecting this country from terrorist attacks (real or imagined) I'd do that for nothing. And just to have the chance, just the chance to go into any of our city centres on a Saturday night and have some drunken bint first vomit all over me and then kick me in the nuts, well I'd PAY for that privilege! |

Wow a speeding ticket, good reason to hate the police, 5 miles over the speed limit is STILL against the law. |

Lets just hope you never need your life saved by any of our brave boys in blue . . .
If you think that is an adequate salary for protecting the public from harm , whether it be a gun man, terrorist, SPEEDING driver, knife bearing teenager, drug user brandishing syringe, pimp exploiting young girls, drug dealers selling to our kids , etc.
Perhaps you should think what it would be like in a country with no police or law enforcement . . . |

well AnGel, i think even if they did not march, they make you sick anyway! |

Arbitration ruled in their favour ,didn't they? Are they not Employees that deserve fairness ? |

I wouldn't do what they do for £18.500 a year!
They are worth far more! So are Firefighters, Paramedics, Ambulance Crews, Nurses, Rescuers, Soldiers and anyone else who puts their lives on the line for the rest of us.
Where the hell would we be without them??? |

You are whats wrong with this country.
you moan and groan about poor public services, but when it comes to paying for it you don't want to know, SHAME ON YOU |

Foolproof method of avoiding speeding tickets - don't speed. |

Can you live off of 18k a year? Would you risk your life for ungrateful ignorant people like yourself for 18k a year? |
|

You really think that the cops are only good for giving tickets? I think the police are not getting well paid anywhere in the world. That is the reason why some of them become corrupt.
You must have committed a lot of crimes and got busted almost every time, that is why you hate the cops, right? You have to admit the cops are pretty smart.
The cops risk their lives to save people every day from the likes of you and I think they are our true heroes. Maybe you should do something productive with you life instead of hating
the police. Get a life. Maybe you should go back to school and learn to spell. |

Get a life, unless you have done the job don't knock it.
You are obviously and uneducated ignorant twit |

the police don't get paid that well actually, not for risking their lives on a daily basis. |

The type of things our boys and girls in blue deal with on a daily basis makes them more than worthy of a pay rise.Its not just a case of dishing out tickets,some of the scummy people they deal with is unbelieveable.They work the most erratic shifts which affects their personal lives and families and all to keep ungrateful people like yourself safe.Its a wonder they bother. |

Its not about throwing toys out of prams about not getting enough money at all. I suggest you do your research before you start manking sweeping comments. Its about not getting what WAS promised and standing up for what is right. We've been treated disgustingly over this matter and need to show that we wont just roll over and have our belly's tickled.
As for the 5 mph over the limit, everyone is already given a leeway of 10%+2 of the speed limit before a ticket is given. But again, I doubt you knew that either. |

It was actual over 20000 off duty officers from across the uk and i dont recall any news stating it was an angry protest... To quote the bbc "An extremely orderly protest"
Enjoy your new points on your driving licence and fine... The speed limit is there for a reason.. |
