‘What I’m not saying is that there hasn’t been an increase in stalking, because I don’t know that’

Cressida Dick is asked if stalking has increased or if reports of stalking have.

Don't forget to follow us on social media too!

All those transgendered police cars should scare the stalkers away.

[MultiBloxx]

They actually believe what they say it's disqusting

[nsturgeon]

They are trying to blind everyone with BS - what a waste of time and effort, and at the same time patting themselves on the back.

I wonder if there’s any correlation to race and stalking

[BigBenn]

So… it’s a change in the recording policy that creates the apparent increase. Calm down people it’s just maths.

[bridiesmith]

How can she be asked to differentiate between a real stalker and government stalking.

[captainbuggernut]

So they have fiddled the figures. Sounds right. It also sounds like guilty unless proven innocent.

Nice line in excuses, obfuscation and good old fashioned blarney there. These are professionals🤗.

"we are working to understand the thread of stalking". Your the MET police one of the oldest police constabulary in the world and they still don't understand the treats from stalking. Pick a crime that has not gone up. What a shame

[dh]

Surely the rainbow police cars should have stopped all the crime by now?

[dissonantiacognitiva]

Does that include police stalking?
Coming from the hospital the other day with a sick child I was followed by an under cover police car, I found it strange that a random car was following me, a car went past me at at least 90mph so I assumed the guy behind me was just a regular guy
I get out of the motorway, a cop car is waiting at the lights, mine go green, his are red, he crosses the red, pull me over and then claim I was driving irregularly.
Irregular is a very subjective term, also a non legally defined term, so I wonder whether I ended up somehow in ANPR, which is something I will follow up if this happens again, because if it is, this is harassment

[gwp]

There lies the problem, they can not answer any question in a direct manner now, BS BS BS BS and more BS .

[kreigrastalovich]

That's reports, not actual offenses.

[Thedownliner]

Hancock, Johnson, Cummings, Whitty, spokesperson on fuel shortage called Phil McCann? Are they taking the piss?

[davidsmart]

Y'know...I think I could be a good copper: I can tell when they're lying.

[TheMattp]

wow so heart broken ex tries to save relationship is now a stalker sad times

[generic]

Arent shoulder Epaulettes supposed to be worn on the shoulders?

[catearth]

Did I miss hear or did she just give us the stalking statistics from the year 1617? 😅

[Hardman._]

Greeeat the loose women panel is in charge of the police...

[youlunlan]

The perverts got brave behind their masks... !!!
