Bureaucracy not policework.

It now takes a Police Officer an average of ten hours and six minutes to process the paperwork for a single arrest. No wonder coppers do not ever want to arrest people - unless of course, the weather outside is inclement.
A Sheffield PC told me more than ten years ago that the number of forms to be filled in was 44 per arrest!
Several weeks later I ran into the then Chief Constable Richard Wells, at a function and challenged him on this. He assured me that the bureaucracy was on its last legs. So I see! The bureaucratic society is a direct consequence of liberal elite policies - although precisely why escapes me. I expect it is all part of that unending desire to control and centralise.
