Another day another ridiculous idea from this Labour Government, Private security company’s to issue on the spot fines for things like graffiti, Dogs fouling the streets, litter, anti social behaviour and so on, they will also be able to direct traffic. The latest firm to be accredited to this scheme is Eventguard a Norfolk based company who supply bouncers to clubs.
So “Policeman” by day Bouncer by night, easy to see where the problems will arise here. There are around 1500 people across the UK licensed by the relevant Chief constables to perform these jobs, though they are trained and have to wear a uniform they are really not Police in fact they are ranked third tier, that is below Community support officers.
More worryingly Security Guards Park Wardens, Parking attendants and Shopping centre Guards have access to the National police computer, they are able to check if a person has a criminal record before issuing a fine, if a record is discovered then they bring in the real Police.
Not long before accusations of inappropriate use of the National computer base for settling personal scores. I can see this scheme causing problems in the streets to, little enough respect is shown to our real Police let alone these toy ones. I have said it before and I will say it again you cant make this stuff up.
