Cynical bunch.

 

I have great faith and repsect for the police and what they do. As in any profession, you get bad eggs. The police force is no different.

 

How many times do you take the police for granted, for simple things like asking directions, let alone solving serious and preventing serious crimes.

 

It's a pretty thankless task and I'm glad they're there and do such a good job.

My only experience of the Police so far is being told off by them when I was a kid, being told not to waste their time when I was mugged, being pulled over whilst driving (between the ages of 18 and 22, at some points as many times as once a week) and being arrested for drink driving.

 

I'm hardly a master criminal, but I've yet to see them in a positive light

To be honest I have only needed them once and they didn't help.

Because all his friends who made statements, some of them where twisted around ... he had never comitted a crime in his life...

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but you're repeating yourself, and you haven't answered my question:

 

What was the supposed motive? Did the court conclude that is was an attempted "insurance job" or something?

I agree, but some professions are more attractive to idiots than others. And the police force doesn't exactly recruit from the top tiers of society.

 

To be fair, on the whole, I've had reasonable experiences with the police. There are much more fascist forces around the world. But they don't exactly strike me as an intelligent, open-minded bunch.
