And after each stop the damaged police vehicles need expensive repairs or in a bad case replacement ,
say 3 at a couple of thousand for repair and no write offs , if this happens several times in a year that
all comes out of the budget and not insurance , so next year the police part of your council tax has to
be raised cue howls of outrage about how ' we never see a policeman ' .
So do you still want them to play dodgems with a several £30,000 or more cars ??????
Written as someone who worked for the police for 34 years as a mechanic , so I've seen it from inside .
