Thrown to the wolves much.

She is doing a pretty good job being thrown in front of a media pack.

So glad to see this being discussed here. I'm thinking of getting into Ram Raids myself, I hear it's becoming quite popular and it seem to be a good way to make some money on the side of my regular 9 to 5.

Does anyone here have any experience, hints or tips I should be aware of starting out in the 'raid business for the first time? I asked on Twitter today and I got a few tips, probably the best one being "Don't drive into the stores with bollards out the front" but aside from that I've not got a lot of advice.

I guess what I'm mostly worried about is, I'm not a youth, I'm 40 plus! Does that matter when it comes to driving a car through a window and grabbing everything in sight?

Thanks!

Audiophiles are such twits! They buy such pointless stuff: Gold plated cables, $2000 power cords. Idiots.

OOOHHHH HYPERFIBRE!

I have a family member and a reasonably good friend who are both frontline cops. One is a long service veteran, the other only a few years out of police college. I've had occasion to meet quite a few other cops and chat over a beer with them via one of them. Their opinions have been broadly similar and can be summarized as follows:

A huge proportion of their callouts are family harm and these are prioritized over things like property theft for political reasons.
Police HQ is completely out of touch with the cops on the front line.
Everything is about political correctness and optics rather than good policework.
The revolving door offenders grind down police morale, they arrest them, they get released, they arrest them, they get released.
The courts are far too soft on repeat offenders and we need to build a LOT more jails

If that's what the frontline cops think, no wonder the rest of us are left to wonder what is happening.
