Yeah dead lazy, thats why the prisons are deserted and prisoners get kept in for far longer than their original sentence.

Only takes an hour to fill in the case file, well some cops are better at paperwork than others. Just as some MP's are less corrupt, sorry better at accounting, than others and don't try to claim more back in expenses than they paid out.
(At this point I should point out that the Scottish system is different and I have limited information on the paperwork needed for England and Wales. I should point out that the system used in Scotland has gone from taking 20 minutes to almost 2 hours in the last four years)

In the warm. Yep on a collapsing bridge during floods is a really warm place to be.

At the end of the day his government have brought in a ridiculous amount of paperwork and pointless targets which he is now moaning about. The government brought in the National Crime Recording Standards and made detections king and then began moaning when the Police go after easy detections.

I could go on but some of the Police bloggers have summed it up far better than I ever could.

I don't know if you benefit in Scotland from all the extra paperwork as they do in England/Wales. One of my work colleagues has a brother in an English force, if he wants a few extra hours overtime he will look for someone to arrest close to the end of his shift. He knows that the processing time and completing the paperwork will give him an extra 3 or 4 hours overtime.
