If you are nostalgic of Leicester in the 50's you must watch this video, it starts off at the wonderful St Margarets Bus Station cafe.

Great watch that. No hi viz, body cams or PC PCs in those days. Surprised they patrolled alone and had to call in periodically.

My old man started in the Leicester City Police in 1962.
When we came to clear out my mums house after she passed away we found a dusty old box in the attic with some of his police stuff in, including about 8 years of his daily notebook diaries that they were required to keep, and i looked up what he was doing the day i was born.
I know football fans don't think too highly of plod these days, but if anybody is interested there's a very good book about the history of leicester police.

The police are just there as revenue enforcers now, each Police station ,Court and Council are all for profit corporations. They have no Sovereignty. ( check out there Dunns numbers ) or the Clearfield Doctrine

hated them all my life, l can't believe this is a true reflection of them even back then. Great video though.

Interesting to see some of the town when I was teenager but the script aimed at eight years olds was embarrassing.

First conviction at 13, 3 years probation, 2nd at 15, then they came like buses. Stopped in my 30's with the odd exception of wrongful arrest and cuntish coppers.
