investigation of actual crimes is at best limited, I don't know how it works in the states but in the UK direct theft will not be investigated unless their's an obvious lead or it's part of a protracted campaign and even then the police will try and do anything other than commit resoarces-the best you can hope for is they'll find your shit in some other context. Powerlevelling here but I used to work for the police and recently started working for the crown court and their's major problems with budget cuts which cause endless embarrising gaffs and admin clusterfucks.
Simply put unless someone's dead or it's fucking obvious whodunnit then you're buggered. Good luck getting a rape prosecution if no-one saw shit and you didnt know the guy.
This entire thing has 'minister pet project in a crumblng goverment' written all over it, Nothing about this strikes me a sincere attempt to control online bullying, the goverment has neither the resources or political will to push this through. On the day to day level one of two things will occur depending on Rudd's personal relationship with individual Constables and county forces, Either the Police will pay lip service to this and engage in easy win prosections based on facebook/twitter abuse and publizised incidents because they likely don't give a fuck and hate the current goverment or their be more of song and dance about it because they the Constable in question is looking for favour which will be an extenssive series of Facebook Twitter prosections.
It's unlikely we're at risk because a prosection would be very very hard to do and we're not even public enemy number 1 in terms of Trolling.
Thank God Vordrak doesnt have any power is all I can say.
