The Secret Policeman

The tech-fixated cop has gotta catch ’em all. Drones used by criminals, that is…

The Secret Policeman

Evening all. The lot of the copper is not a happy one at the best of times, but one thing guaranteed to get even the most laughing of policemen down is having a bunch of numpties invade his police station. Especially if it’s because tech told them to do it.

In recent times, that’s usually been down to a right bunch of prankers going into the nick to film themselves taking their clothes off, partying, and generally trying to provoke the local Dibble. And then, of course, putting it on YouTube.

We don’t ‘like’ it.

Now, of course, police stations are coming under repeated and prolonged assault from anoraked virgins trying to catch Pokemons (or is it Pokemen?).

I like a bit of fun as much as anyone, ladies and gents. But if you’ve come in to report a serious offence – or even just to moan that you’ve lost your phone while out on the piss, and now need a crime-reference number even though no crime’s been committed-you’re going to feel a bit miffed by a nerd with a phone, barking with glee because he’s just bagged a Bulbosaur.
