   -= why won't the British police do their job and put a stop to it? -=

   The British police obviously do know what is taking place. Besides my   
   interpretations of what individual officers have said which forces that   
   conclusion, it would be inconceivable for them to be unaware of something   
   on this scale.   
      
   If they know, then they will know that the abusers have broken laws in the   
   UK and abroad. Recently the UK introduced laws against electronic spying   
   which carry a penalty of several years jail if caught. If the police know   
   illegal harassment is taking place, and do nothing about it, then they are   
   failing in their responsibilities.   
      
   Last Easter (1995) I went into the local police station in London and spoke   
   to an officer about the harassment against me. But I couldn't provide   
   tangible evidence; what people said, in many cases years ago, is beyond   
   proof, and without something to support my statements I cannot expect a   
   police officer to take the complaint seriously.   
      
   The current situation with regard to the police is not one which allows a   
   breakthrough in dealing with the problem. On the one hand, most individual   
   officers at a local police station may not know about the ongoing assaults,   
   so a complaint at that level will not yield results. Yet the police as an   
   organisation do know of the harassment, and they must be aware that a   
   complaint has been made at a police station. So it is clearly their duty to   
   take preventative action against the continuing molestation, but because   
   the criminals are operating on behalf of a state agency, the police are not   
   carrying out their duty.
