Hi, I wanted to ask about the police here. I tried to ask for help yesterday, when we wanted to report a thief. I had to call 114 multiple times, because they were busy and asked me to call back… the third time when they asked me to call back again, I told them I’ve been told the same twice before. So they finally talk with me, and tell me they can’t do anything, because we didn’t see the person actually stealing & I have to report it online. We had the thief nearby for the whole time I tried to get a hold of them, but nothing.
I am from Eastern-Europe, where police gets paid less and isn’t as praised as here, but when I want to report something, they immediately do the paperwork and try to help. Why is it so different here? Do I really pay this high amount of tax to be told to report stuff online? Which, by the time I get home and get to sit down in front of my computer to actually report it, is a lost cause.
I am really not sure and been wondering, because this was my first experience here with police, and it was a bit upsetting. Especially the part when they ask me to call back, not even once haha.

jtihk2tThis clause has gotten people into more trouble, than the thief. It’s up to the judge to decide if you used excessive force when trying to retain the thief and if you did, your punishment will be severe.
It’s generally not worth it, to take that chance.

jtk4b9fI’m personally leaning towards castle defense laws on this debate.
The mere act of breaking into someone’s home is incredibly aggressive and a reasonable response is lethal force. I don’t know if the intruder is there to steal or kill, so it’s safest to assume the latter and act accordingly.
