Re: SOCA - Serious Organised Crime Agency

I seriously thought MI5 through 6 were the British equivalent to the FBI ? SOCA will have an easier go a lopping large amounts of capitol out of the caufers than will local police departments. The smaller offices of the local police will not have too much of a problem with SOCA but Scotland Yard, Pfff, that's going to be crazy, jurisdiction fights, internal affairs issues, what works for SOCA doesn't for the Yard , scandal and corruption.... Wait, the scandal and corruption already exist, never mind. Who knows maybe the two factions will keep each other in check. lw

Re: SOCA - Serious Organised Crime Agency
MI5-6 is national and international government intellegence department. We dont technically have a non-police based crime squad. Until now.

Re: SOCA - Serious Organised Crime Agency
we will have to see what the results are...anything that tackles serious crime in this country is a good thing, i dont mind paying for it as long as we get results.

Re: SOCA - Serious Organised Crime Agency
Serious crime is an issue - look at the spate of armed robberies in England.
Look at the instances of "happy slapping" fatalities. Consider the high profile murders such as the Lawrence case or Taylor case, Dando case. I agree that something has to be done to reduce armed robbery, murder, rape. But would SOCA prevent a Dunblane, for example ? I ask the question as Devils Advocate because a lot of these politically inspired initiatives never tackle the actual problem/cause of serious crime.
