Comment on Greta Thunberg: Case thrown because of 'no evidence'
Anticorp@lemmy.world 8 months agoWhat I’m saying is that it doesn’t cost them any more money to go out and arrest a bunch of people, than it does to sit at a donut shop stuffing their faces. They get paid either way, as do the people running the jails. Their budget isn’t affected by what they do during the course of a shift.

They have a certain amount of money that they have to spent on operational work. The police and crime commissioners/mayor depending on region absolutely look at arrests v conviction rates and will give the Chief Constable a hard time if they are arresting people without hope of conviction, telling them insyread to focus on priorities.
