Watching the inline video [0] made my blood boil. The officer acts all high and mighty "I'm not going to share the evidence with you because you are lying to me". This is but a small example of the overall incompetence and laziness of the police in this country to say nothing of the ego-tripping.

Right. When presented with evidence of someone selling upwards of 50-100 stolen Macbooks and a similar number of phones, including my own, my police department's first reaction was:

"Well, he probably didn't steal them himself"

And when I, somewhat confused, asked, "isn't knowingly selling stolen goods also a crime?", "How do you know he is doing it knowingly?" "Hmmm, the fact that none of them have chargers or accessories and that the IMEI of every phone has the last two digits swapped so people can't search for them, but so they look legit?"

"We're not going to investigate this."

Great. Thanks for your concern.
