Must have taken some ‘thought’ for the ‘good’ cop to report his colleague – he won’t be very popular with others.
Very shocking that other cops witnessing the bully cop did not go to the woman’s help – bad cops

Anybody got any ideas?

I've long since advocated bringing back a bit of humiliation (like a variation on the stocks) in the past, for example.

Electronic methods of controlling where unruly, socially misbehaving individuals can and cannot go. "What happened to you harry, the other night - you missed a really good night"
"Oh, my 'tag' was switched on again" Those persistently anti-social would soon get fed up with not having the same freedoms as their mates, who tend to behave. We now have the means - let us use it, to curb freedoms - and say B*****KS to the human rights and equal opportunies lot.]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:12:36 +0100 http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18957 http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19155

http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=26576

And for the 73rd time ...

Meet the face of Britain in the 21st Century.

This is what our system produces, by its innefectiveness. How people continue to walk streets in abject fear. Don't get me wrong - I'm pretty short on sympathy for this guy myself - and many like him its curious the day after I was trying to explain how unhelpful institutionalised 'systems' are, this example LEAPS out of the pages, at me.

I've long believed in people making REPARATIONS when committing petty crime - making it up to the people who are the victims - and to society at large - not simply locking them up all the time, and giving them free bed and board.

This man has been locked up every year, since a child - and for what? Because we have failed to come up with any ideas - because its 'not our problem' - because weve ALWAYS done it this way
Failed to really tackle the main issues of anti-social behaviour. From crime & punishment, to the reasons why.

I despair - I really do.

Just outside Glasgow there is a place called Alexandria, fair enough, it's not that unusual to have a place named after one of the greatest cities in Egyptian history - but what puzzles me more is the origin of a place name within Glasgow itself - a place called Egypt - which was/is around the Tollcross. Contemporary historians tell us that it 'probably' derived its name from a farm which once existed in the area called 'Egypt' - but I doubt this. It's more likely the farm took its name from the local area and not vice versa. If anyone has ANY thoughts on how a place in Glasgow got the name Egypt I'd be delighted to hear them - no matter how far fetched or serious they may be. It sounds a truly bizarre request I know, but it could be a missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle I've been trying to put together for some time.

I've written to the Council for the area to try and get some answers but heard nothing yet.

Thanks!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/aug/25/p...austerity-drive]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:36:40 +0100 http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19128 http://discuss.glasgowguide.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18359 by C. Matszczyk (see his posed questions at the end of the article)


What's remarkable about auto dealers is that they're not merely untrustworthy, but many of them are rather untrusting.

It seems that some sell their cars equipped with Web-based vehicle immobilization systems, just in case the buyer begins to falter on his or her payments.

Imagine the scene, then, in Austin, Texas, when cars suddenly wouldn't start or their horns would blare nonstop for hours. Did anyone imagine that a mass vehicle-immobilization attack was in progress? Probably not. More likely they imagined that some attendees of SXSW had found yet another way to prove to the world just how zanily amusing they are.

However, according to Wired, Wednesday police arrested 20-year-old Omar Ramos-Lopez, whom they accused of having technical abilities that were put to resentful use.

Ramos-Lopez was laid off from the Texas Auto Centre and, strangely all the cars that seemed to have suffered a dysfunction had originally been sold at one of the Auto Centres four dealerships.

The Auto Centre seems to have enjoyed a black box system, the size of a deck of cards, called Webtech Plus. The company that operates the system, Pay Technologies (Payteck), declares on its Web site that "with PayTeck, the vehicle is automatically shut down if payment is delinquent. This gives you, the dealer, the element of control you have lacked in the past."

Unless, that is, someone is clever enough to tamper with its digital innards.

The dealership said that more than 100 of its customers reported either a disabled car or hideously honking horn. So it reset the passwords for all of its employees' accounts. A police affidavit reportedly claimed that, having looked at access logs, the police traced the wicked behaviour to Ramos-Lopez's AT&T Internet service.

Ramos-Lopez is accused of getting into the system by using another employee's account. Jim Krueger of Pay Technologies told Wired: "He had retained a password, and what happened was he went in and created a little bit of havoc."

I can't help but wonder who is really causing the havoc here. In times when people are strapped for cash, in many cases where the fault is that of some bumptious, Bentley-driving bailed-out banker from Connecticut, is it really necessary to humiliate someone who has fallen behind on their payments by making their horn honk louder than a pig with hay fever?

Is this another instance of technology offering excess control of another's life?
Or is it a fine way to protect one's assets?

How soon before some gizmo forces bank debtors to sneeze uncontrollably until they pay off their overdraft?
