The No1 best-seller about law and order that the government lied about... Wasting Police Time is the hilarious and shocking truth about Britains criminal justice system.Ever wondered why you cant find a policeman when you want one?PC David Copperfield has the answer: theyre all inside the station, writing reports, photocopying, stapling and filing (when theyre not getting caught up in the squabbles of Kaycee, Dwayne, her exs ex, his sisters boyfriends mum and that slag who sent them all a nasty message on Facebook).Wasting Police Time is PC Copperfields insider’s diary of life as a modern British bobby.Its the first book to spill the beans about the way senior police officers waste our money while they fiddle the crime figures and scramble to meet bogus Home Office targets.Copperfield is drily sarcastic and biting about his bosses, the criminals he deals with and the judges and politicians who have allowed our streets to collapse into chaos while they live in fortified houses and are driven around by armed police.The book is so close to the mark that police minister Tony McNulty denounced it in the House of Commons as ‘more of a fiction than Dickens’ (and then had to admit he was wrong about this on the BBC’s Panorama).Graphic, entertaining and sobering - The ObserverA huge hit... will make you laugh out loud - The Daily MailVery revealing - The Daily TelegraphOne of the three political books of the moment - Nick Cohen, The ObserverHilarious... should be compulsory reading for our political masters - The Mail on SundayPassionate, important, interesting and genuinely revealing... riveting - The Sunday TimesA sensation - The Sun Wasting Police Time: The Crazy World of the War on Crime by PC David Copperfield
