It got filed and he chased them a couple of times and it basically got forgotten about.

Around the same time, I got caught speeding a couple of roads away from where he lived. I was doing 62mph in a 50mph. An undercover police car with two policeman in pulled me over. They were waiting just doing laps of this dual carriageway trying to find speeders to fine. What I did was wrong and I accepted the consequences. But I wasn't dangerous, or reckless. And I couldn't comprehend why two policemen were busier trying to find speeders than they were burglars. I don't understand their priorities.

I also know a couple of policeman through school and university, they were not the sharpest tools in the box. They both struck me as the sort who would more likely be in trouble with the police rather than be in it.
Quite a money making scheme catching people speeding and these guys get to just drive around, where’s the down side for them

Like I mentioned a lot have no intention of doing anything useful it’s just a job to do with the least amount of effort so they can go home
