-= why won't the British police do. their job and put a stop to it? -=

The British police obviously do know what is taking place.. Besides my
interpretations of. what individual officers have said which forces that
conclusion, it would be inconceivable for them to be. unaware of something
on this. scale.
If they know,. then they will know that the abusers have broken laws in
the
UK and abroad. Recently the UK introduced laws against electronic. spying
which carry a penalty. of several years jail if caught. If the police know
illegal harassment. is taking place, and do nothing about it, then they
are
failing in. their responsibilities.
Last Easter (1995) I went into. the local police station in London and
spoke
to an officer about the. harassment against me. But I couldn't provide
tangible evidence; what people said, in many. cases years ago, is beyond
proof, and without something to support my statements I cannot. expect a
police officer to take. the complaint seriously.
The current situation with regard to the police is not one. which allows a
breakthrough in dealing. with the problem. On the one hand, most
individual
officers at a local police station may not know about the. ongoing
assaults,
so a complaint at that level. will not yield results. Yet the police as an
organisation do know of the harassment, and they must. be aware that a
complaint has been made at a police station. So it is clearly. their duty
to
take preventative action. against the continuing molestation, but because
the criminals are operating on behalf. of a state agency, the police are
not
carrying. out their duty.
