I think this 'ease' aspect of policing is actually quite important in the area of public sex.Chris Ashfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12071159399124287824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614841571339583501.post-40785542811724825342011-08-02T12:20:04.930+01:002011-08-02T12:20:04.930+01:00Interesting and maybe i could get someone i know i...Interesting and maybe i could get someone i know in that scene to talk with you (and no: that's not one of those cleverly veiled references to my own predilections. I don't dog!).<br /><br />Two thoughts. First, interesting that it was Northumberland. I had a run-in with their press office a year or so back when they made some seriously wrong-headed threats about people possessing miaow-miaow which, at the time, was a legal substance.<br /><br />Very similar tack to the one you mention: bluster and threat, with little legal substance to back up.<br /><br />Second, i know from some serving police officers, that dogging is regarded as a positive: basically, it keeps the flashers and low-level deviants in one place and simplifies the task of policing greatly.<br /><br />jane<br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
