Police Getting It Wrong

The Forest Gate episode, the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes and many other incidents were accidents waiting to happen.

There will be many more unless the Police in this country are totally reformed. Not with respect to rearranging forces, but by adding and imposing technology that works.

1. As Soham showed the Police computer systems are totally inadequate. Why can a major bank run a computer system for massive amounts of stocks and share registrations and the Police can't run one for much less data?

2. Why weren't the Police at Forest Gate tooled up with high-tech chemical detectors and video cameras?

3. If the BBC can film animals in the wild, surely the Police can have better surveillance?

All of the technology is there but it is not being used. The Police just get bogged down in paperwork and political correctness.
