I'm sure it wasn't trivial for this particular victim, but there are a very limited number of knife crimes compared with dangerous driving, out of all proportion with enforcement effort. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13043#post-157876 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 15:58:45 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 157876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wouldn't call it trivial - please read the story first.</p> <p>That said, Dave's general point about average polis disinterest remains. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13043#post-157863 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:18:05 +0000 DaveC 157863@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My thoughts are exactly the same ad Dave's. And they wonder why no one jumps to help them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13043#post-157858 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:52:21 +0000 tk 157858@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They were good with some footage I handed in a few weeks ago. Just don't give them media you want back - no sign of my expensive USB key being returned..... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13043#post-157856 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:41:42 +0000 Dave 157856@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's interesting that they've asked, but for my 2p: if the authorities aren't interested in this footage when someone tries to kill me with their car, why should I submit it for something relatively trivial like this? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13043#post-157834 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 12:21:37 +0000 chdot 157834@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Police have asked for footage from dashboard cams and cyclist helmets to be handed into to help with investigations. </p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/stabbed-garage-owner-chased-knife-robber-1-3454579" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/stabbed-garage-owner-chased-knife-robber-1-3454579</a></p> <p>Not sure if many helmet cams in WL(?) </p>
