Ace Cafe Accident

[r3k1355]

Aye, police should realise that and supply..  how the feck can the cafe control people's behaviour..

Ace can't but what they need to do is engage with the police.

Tell the old bill when they've got a meet going on thats previously attracted trouble, the plod can pop down and pick up the knobs in the act.

It doesn't need to happen too many times before word gets out that Ace Cafe isn't a place to drive like a lady garden.

Ace Cafe DO engage with the police. They don't want these knob heads outside as they put off genuine enthusiasts like us and the knobs aren't paying customers.

In an ideal world yes, send a police car or 2 down every meet that has the potential for knob heads to turn up. Cost to the tax payer annually £100,000-£350,000 (based on 2-4 cops 5 nights a week).

There just isn't the spare police officers to sit down there of an evening or even for any sort of regular patrols. The evenings (6pm till 1am ish) are the busiest time for the police and although the number of police officers is vaguely the same in London the call volume is constantly going up. Couple that to the minimal number of traffic cops on duty at any point and there is no police officers available.

In a way it doesn't matter if the police do or don't show up, it's more about Ace cafe showing they are trying to solve the problem with the police.

If the police then try and shut the place down they can stand up in court, say they've engaged with the police attempted to get help but they haven't shown up to arrest people.

Any judge is going to take a very dim view on the police for that.
