      My late father and brother, both police officers, had that special way when dealing with these tragic cases too. It takes a special person, in my opinion, to be able to connect and at times, empathise when carrying out their duties. A sense of humour is a great benefit also, I feel.

    Had to walk home several miles with shopping bags cause of major bus problems. Got to my house to find it surrounded by yellow tape and police cause someone call in a bomb threat. When the policewoman told me I couldn't go home, I went ballistic and told her to carry my bags herself. She was so understanding and found me somewhere to sit and told me to rest until I felt better. British police can be some of the best.

    In the UK, we (our police) deal with criminals differently than they do in the US. I think the relationship and how they are perceived in the UK is just different. Our police are much more approachable and naturally, they have always been seen as part of the local community. I imagine that you do get more of a local community policing in smaller towns across the US but in cities its much different.

      I remember when we were in the states and had got a bit lost, we stopped at a gas station and I saw a police officer also fueling his car so I trotted over to him and said "excuse me officer" he immediately put his hand on his gun and just looked at me. I said "oh I'm trying to get to... Which way should I go ?" The response was "don't go down there " and pointed down a road it was a very different experience to interactions I had had over here

    I'm in north east england, under durham constabulary to be precise. I abuse alcohol and have done for many years and also am A drug user and not only do I hace zero concerns about being bothered by the police, the police are absolutely a point of help for people like me in the UK. I had to be interviewed under caution by the police but because my mental health wasn't so good the officer picked me up, drove me in the front seat, uncuffed, to the hospital and even bought me a mcdonalds on the way. If I ever commited a crime against another I'd fully expect the police to do their job and when I was younger, they di so lol, but honestly the police here, even as a drug user, I love them.

    In the UK, an extra £25 is paid in benefits to alcoholics. This is due to it being a dangerous disease to just abstain from (doing do can result in death), so the extra money allows the recipient to buy the alcohol, reducing the need to commit crimes. Unfortunately, the homeless alcoholics don't receive benefits as a permanent address is required. Alcoholism is an awful disease and a large percentage of those affected would love to be completely "dry."
    It's so sad to see people existing in such a desperate way 😞 😢

There are places where this business is off the street and in legal brothels. The workers are self employed and file taxes, get regular health screening and are significantly safer than those forced to walk the streets and getting into strangers cars.

      Prostitution is legal, but you can't advertise or ask. You can make money from women who sell (Pimp) and you can't sell in a house with others. (Brothel)
      So it's a legal activity, that is illegal to try to carry out safely.

Part of the community which is so important. We don’t have them anymore.

    Notice that change in British law concerning the right to silence. It may be 30 years or more old now, but the new bit is: if you come up with an excuse later in court which you didn't mention when arrested that silence when being arrested can be mentioned in court and the judge or jury may decide that suggests you are lying now.

    I have a feeling it wasn't so much a case of the guy being in love, when the woman was being arrested. I fear it may be more a case of she is the one that is going out and making the money to feed both their addictions. If she's not out working, how is he getting his fix? Unfortunately this is a common occurrence.
    Also, the woman with the £40 fine, now has to give FOUR BJs to pay off the fine and do more to get enough to buy her fix. It truly is a life of slow torture. One I wouldn't wish on anybody.
    There is free treatment from Doctors to try and get off H. You heard one of the soup kitchen men saying he was on Methadone. You go in to a pharmacy everyday at the same time for your little cupful and try and stay on JUST that. I don't know if you get kicked off that program if you are still buying other stuff. There will be someone who will be able to fill us in on that.

    It's also good to gather the info from the homeless guys too, should something major go down - they see things others don't, the notice oddities or strange behaviours - and even just checking up on them can yield good results. Not to mention, they can pass the person's condition onto Homeless charities/councils to try and get them off the streets and into care/back on their feet.
    This particular show I think was mid 00's - so things may have changed slightly.

    One major difference is the British police do not have to face the reality of American officers that everyone they approach could very possibly have a gun.
    In the US 2023 according to the FBI approximately 466 officers assaulted and injured by firearms, with 60 officers being killed.
    The last time a British police officer was shot and killed in the UK was 2020, before that it was 2012, a bad year when two women police officers were killed in a gun and grenade ambush and an off duty officer was shot by an armed man he approached.
