when laws are not enforced, laws do not in fact exist. but the police state will monitor your hate speech and if you don't like your country being invaded by islamists and kids raped and stabbed you're racist and will be jailed for a hate crime

such is britbongistan

Britbongistan is fhe pilot country for the beast system it seems

I don't think theft has ever been decriminalized in any era in time in history but this one. However, I am no historian, and many libraries were burned down in the past so who knows

>>2055580 (OP)
Didn't read the article, but I assume the reason is more like, "we don't think it's worth it to spend more than [30 minutes] looking at CCTV footage for a single bike" (assuming 4x speed, adjust the number however you think it works).
Which, you know, does look pretty lazy. But I assume it's more about funding and wanting to spend that money paying cops overtime to crack heads at protests against the government instead.
It's not some ideological pro-theft stance on the part of police.

lolwut?

if you had a 12 hour video file where nothing ever changed except that at some unknown point a bicycle disappeared it would take you 3 hours to find the spot where it happens?

its because BTP is a seperate poilce for trains they want to push these cases onto local police who are more resourced

since when did police investigate bike thefts? are you ok?

They are talking about bike racks at urban train stations. People are going to be coming-and-going all the time, causing tons of motion alerts.
But the point is not what that specific number is, the point is that they have some number in mind, beyond which investigating has "too low a benefit" compared to the "cost". And benefit isn't just adjusted by the "value" of the bike or prosecuting bike theft, but also the likelihood to prosecute (e.g. maybe after 2 hours, the chance the offender has managed to disappear the bike goes up significantly?).

we need to invent exploding seats
if you don't unlock the seat and it senses that the bike is going somewhere, it'll let you go 200 meters and then castrate you with gunpowder
it'll emulate natural selection, if all of us buy boom seats, bike thieves will not reproduce, and in a few generations evolution will create humans that are predisposed to not taking shit that isn't theirs
it's for the betterment of the world, 50 grams of sodium azide at a time

Based and redpilled but then if the technology will become too common it can be used by evil-doers as well.
It's a reap what you sow kind of situation

>>2055610
>evil-doers
why, polearms tipped with bike seats will be our first line of defense against riot police

>>2055592
shut up and get mad about uhhhhh um

Are you retarded? Guy comes to the police: "hey my bike [picture] got stolen from rack 12"

You find a time when the bike was there. Then skip to when it's gone. Now back to when it was there. Then to where it's gone. Boom, timestamp found.

Leave the UK. Come to America.

>>2055583
During the 1920's maybe, for 1 group. They just legalized alcohol to prevent crime.

>>2055634
Yes. You just jump back and forth. Go to a random point in the middle and then bounce in and out.
