I'm assuming that the Twitter feed is intended to answer questions about what the copper chopper is doing in X.. place. I can't help but feel though, that public money could better be used than to send several million pounds of chopper and crew to incidents such as:

 

"Youths throwing items at passing cars, no damage. Youths found, officers directed and youths taken home and spoken to"

 

And these sorts of things can only serve to question how much better a helicopter is than a simple patrol car:

 

"Parsons Cross area, search for nuisance off road motorcycle, parks and open areas checked, no trace."

:thumbsup:Nice one, I saw the helicopter and police cars in the Upperthorpe area last night and wondered what was going off, I hope its that children's enduro style machine that's been recovered; it's been tear-arsing across the Ponderosa for the last few years, so glad its been dealt with before someone was run down.

 

Thanks for the info GrahamY:thumbsup:

Good thing they have a time lag, for both POLICE security and the longterm future of SF.
