Stop tracking drug dealers, we've arrested enough already

A police force criticised for its supposed liberal stance on drugs was yesterday accused of ordering officers to stop logging intelligence about drug dealers because they had already hit the annual arrests target.

The HM Inspectorate of Constabulary claimed that two divisions within North Wales Police were "instructed" not to enter the information on the force computer as further arrests would lead to a higher target the following year.

The force is led by Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom, who has been criticised for his crusade against speeding motorists and a relatively liberal attitude to drug policy. He has called for some drugs to be legalised.

Richard Brunstrom is on record for having compared the ABD (Association of British Drivers) to the BNP (British National Party). The ABD have an excellent website dedicated solely to The Chief Constable of Contoversy .
