The Police having completely lost perspective of a case they should have dropped long ago, but now want to take on the TV company for pointing out the obvious too them that they have blown this well out of proportion. Unfortunately the Police have spent too much time listening to Sensible Sentencing and not enough time using common sense.	Twelvevolts (5457)

Prefect, what you have described is theft from a place of work, Your justification is no different then the crap that other thieves come up with. If you done that on one of my sites you would be ejected on your ear and blacklisted.	Metla (12)

I don't have any argument with the Courts deciding, although the Police have some latitude to deal with minor offending either at the scene or after a chat at the station. Typically with young people they use that facility, otherwise they'd overflow the cells every weekend and the Courts every Monday morning.	Twelvevolts (5457)

People were warned that there would be zero tolerance for looters in CHCH, much the same as there is zero tolerance for speeds over5kph over the speed limit during public holidays.	plod (107)

Depends on the terms of the contract, generally yes but the usual practice is to take the value of the salvage off the cost of the job when you do the quote. No idea what the terms are in ChCh, at a guess I say its either zero salvage or just get the easy pickings and crush em.	Metla (12)
