The Menace of False Allegations
For the types of false reporting concerning insurance, well that is encouraged by the insurance companies insistence that stolen property has to be reported to police in the first instance. There must be a very high percentage of bogus claims for this incentivised and common crime. As it stands, it can't be helped unless the phone companies or the insurers investigate mobile phone theft and fraud in their own and customers best interests. However, crime is so often linked with violence and genuine cases have to remain within the remit of the police function.The Insurance scamsters are largely to blame for wasting police resources in the first instance. For example, if a crack suddenly appears in one of my windows at home, I would be obliged to repair it myself at quite a cost, even if I didn't cause the damage. In order for the replacement to be paid out of insurance, I am obliged to report the incident to police in order that they issue a Crime Number which magically opens up the funds for replacement. Up until a few years ago, such repairs were covered in the tenancy agreement (which seems these days to agree little of value). One can only wonder how a change in stipulations have impacted crime statistics; do they equate to the 'massive rise in crime' media shocks cynically delivered for the purposes of manipulating public opinion concerning personal safety and protection? Would this lead to higher numbers taking up higher premium cover? Good math for the insurers. Bad news for the rest of us.The investment of police resources in pursuing false trails laid by liars, is of course dangerous for many others facing crisis who are in need of immediate police assistance. If those making false claims had the wit and will to consider the consequences to others our world would have little need of policing at all.We pay for the services of the police primarily out of a fear of eachother - others unknown to us (for good reason it appears)making our first priority (protection from violence)THEIR priority as far as we are concerned. Unfortunately, there are those of a malicious nature, who make false allegations of assault as a means of gaining sympathy and attention from authorities and power over and against an innocent party. This is an assault on the falsley accused, as they are questioned and often arrested and detained on nothing more than the say so of the villian. Despite the distress caused to the injured party and the waste of police time, rarely do the police charge the culprit. The police are not able to prosecute a malicious false allegation when the allegator (!) is protected under a raft of 'mental health' acts. With an increasing number of the population now morally mind-damaged on SSRI's, these types of situation can only increase. All against a backdrop of 'equality' laws, guidelines and policies which dilute the efficiency of the police in safeguarding the welfare of individuals within the community.I realise this first post will most likely be the last as I'm not keen to inspire intelligent debate in a cabbage field (judging from the quality of posts so far).
