Doesn't say anything about for a limited time (except down in the "exceptions" section where it talks about that). The Metropolitan Police Service - CO19 Web site also talks about how the Armed Response Vehicles (ARV) patrol specific areas of London to ensure the fastest response. "ARV's are there to protect and respect the people of London. They are on patrol 24 hours a day, seven days a week for 52 weeks of the year."
Awwe c'mon! I was all set to show you my tat!
Well, you treat people like dogs, eventually they'll start biting back.
Correct. They patrol in those ARVs 24/7 in three-man teams, the driver, the radio guy, and the navigator, and while they are inside those marked vehicles patrolling, those are their normal duties. Any duties performed outside of an armed response is then, therefor, performed by armed police officers on the streets of London, which is what I said in the first place when I said, "There are now more and more armed police on the streets in England, probably more now than at any time in history, but it's still the exception rather than the rule."
A significant portion of LEO killings in this country are due to soft liberals and the lack of severity and intensity of consequences for criminals. If laws were sufficiently harsh and consequences sufficiently severe the majority of even criminals would be too much in fear to kill anyone.
Criminals who are drunk, on drugs, or mentally ill are NOT in fear of much of anything, sigh.
The recividism rate in the US is 44% in one year, up to 67% in three. A lot of that is because ex cons have even more trouble than everyone else getting a job, they can't pass a background check to rent an apt if they do find a job, and instead of learning useful things [like coping skills, or an employable trade], all they learned was from other dumb criminals.
Great system.
Good people don't commit crimes because they are good people. Bad people only don't commit the crimes of which they are too much in fear of the consequences. We are far too soft on true criminals.
Just the ones who are guilty of multiple DUIs - some of whom have a LOT of convictions, and are still driving....

They CHOOSE the life of crime to begin with. Criminal activity is a CHOICE. Driving drunk is a CHOICE. Lucky I don't set the punishment for that. I would use what Japan does, 1 year in prison, first offense, fish heads and rice for food. Little drunk driving over there. LOTS of drunk walking. The Japanese people are BIG drinkers.

Those drunk, high etc. might not be in fear enough to alter their behavior but if the consequences were adequately severe they wouldn't do it twice. DUI is an area of FAR too lenient penalties and FAR too little fear.
Especially when one is facing the best trained, best armed military in the world....really think our little ole hand guns are going to dent a repressive government run amok?...a false sense of security when in the big picture...
The American colonists faced the best trained and armed military in their world.....
