• It's not difficult to understand why agencies like this require such massive budgets if they react to the most inconsequential nonsense. This will, of course, be to the detriment of other law enforcement. Law enforcement that is starved of budget, and that could make an actual positive impact on people's lives.

    Yes this is a major issue. Was listening to Stella Rimmington (ex MI6 boss) talking about why people like Lee Rigby's killer were on the suspicious list with ('say') 2000 other suspects and to properlty monitor EACH of these suspects movements would take 20 people each working a 6 hour shifts with back up office support, helicopter on call and cars.

    In terms of harm reduction they'd be better off arresting every red light jumping cyclist at a junction which only need 4 coppers
