Nope.

My warm soft centre seems to be taking me over. This is not a temporary condition dependant on the weather.

The fact is people no longer hold the respect they should for the police, but with all the corrupt stories we hear who could blame them. Though the main reason for the loss of respect is that people are no longer afraid of the law, murderers are able to get off through loopholes in the system and if that can happen so can anything. If we did try this, for one the apology would not be a meaningful one just a way of avoiding punishment. And how does this one policemen decide who is right or wrong at that very moment, evidence such as cctv and witness reports need to be studied then a suitable form of punishment can be decided from there. It is also not fair on the policemen to hold that sort of responsibility as they may be trained in capturing criminals but not the complicated ins and outs of the law -do we expect each officer to study also as a judge and lawyer even jury and become many people all at the same time? Plus how far would we take this would we think it acceptable for a rapist to apologize to his distraught victim then walk away scott free? In a perfect world the crime would not be committed in the first place but in reality we must take certain measures to make sure we take the right course of action and provide both suitable punishment for the accused and suitable compensation for the victim, its not all as simple as an on the spot apology.

He is starting up cycling banks, a very creative idea. We are slap bang in the middle of a credit crunch, or hadn't you noticed? This is bound to curtail spending. i don’t agree with that analysis.
