Because everyone would know where they are and lawyers would lose money? Don't forget, this government is largely ruled by lawyers.

On that basis, since coppers aren't to be seen who would know?

So does the complete lack of police officer cover in rural areas.

Precisely my point, except that lack of cover is creeping into towns.

What we need is some volunteers to take over routine duties in police stations... that would free up some police officers to go and police. And any PCSOs could spot errant behaviour and call in... Of course, that PCSO might have been tipped the wink by one of their residents about a certain person always driving home with a skin full. People will often say things to a PCSO wherte they wouldn't to a police officer.
