It's radio snooping for the 21st Century.

Breaking news - police called with a complaint about homeless people in Wigan.

I think this is a great idea.

I completely agree - it really brings into focus what shit the police have to wade through to get to real criminal stuff.

Of course there will now be a glut of copycat campaigns from all sorts of public bodies.

Exactly - some of the stuff must be really demoralising. My other half doesn't go into details, but pretty much comes home on a daily basis with heavy shoulders from a day where she has had to deal with rubbish - most of it bought on by the Policing Pledge in my opinion.

Confiscate his house. Maybe that will focus his mind!

It would be interesting to see a similar thing for the ambulance service.

I was going to say that someone should spoof this, but it doesn't sound like that is necessary.

BTW - when the current feed stops working, just add the next consequitive number after 24 (ie, 24_5 etc)

I think there is a restriction on how many Tweets they can do in a day so they keep adding new accounts.
