I worked with a lassie who rented a flat for her and her kid in a tenement building on the rough side of town. One night the local Plod put in her door by mistake with their 'big red key'. They then got the right flat (next door) and arrested the drug dealer who lived there. They then posted a Plod at the drug dealers door while they waited for the locksmith to arrive to put the drug dealers door back on and then left. As for the lassie they left her with a door that wouldn't lock and told her that she would have to get onto the council to have them come out and fix it. She had to take the next day off work as she couldn't leave the house until the door was fixed. Absolute bloody disgrace but I gather it's not uncommon for them to do this. I have to say that the Police in North Ayrshire were probably on a par with the Criminals in levels of lawlessness and depravity and folks only ever called them if they were absolutely desperate. They are a reasonably small force but they have had officers done for rape, sexual assault, spousal abuse, corruption, falsifying evidence and even robbing charity shops and that's just the ones who have been caught. I know personally that they were up to a lot more but it's more hassle than it's worth to try and get 'justice' against them.
