BLAMING THE VICTIMS..

A Shopkeeper who named and shamed a vandal who smashed his shop window has been warned by police to stop infringing the thugs "civil liberties".
What SORT of policing is this - where the victim of crime is turned into a culprit because he dares to name and shame a criminal? Confidence in policing is sapping away as the law is increasingly seen as more about helping the lawbreakers and oppreessing their victims.

Well at least the victims weren't cautioned for "incitement".
There was a similar case not long ago when the police "asked" a shopkeeper to remove cctv still photos of identifiable shop-lifters. Humans rights you see.
Canada goes down the same road, and it's a real head-popper for the multiculti, thug-hugger side of the aisle.
Chinese shopkeeper in Toronto catches thief. Thief becomes crown witness as shopkeeper gets charged. Go (Tea) Leafs!
