If I called the police every time I saw something dodgy I would be calling them all day when I'm at work. I've also learned that there are several things that they just do not give a **** about.

I'd call them if I saw an innocent member of the public being attacked or threatened and that's about it. Drugs / people flogging stolen goods / vandalism and destruction of property... Just more hassle than it's worth. Same goes for... For want of a better term... "junkie on junkie" violence. They fight in the street ALL the time. Summer is worse, the heat seems to set them off. But it's best to just ignore it. Or y'know... Watch. .
