Bourne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">In it she attempts to describe some new scheme to confiscate drug dealers\u2019 mobile phones proudly announcing nine successes so far.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Mrs Bourne, Sussex&#8217;s Police &amp; Crime Commissioner since 2012, fails to explain\u00a0 the merits of this achievement as many criminals change mobile phones several times a day,\u00a0 switching sim cards many times more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Indeed one villain recounted that he knew the Police were tracking his mobile by monitoring his girlfriend\u2019s number, and therefore had to steal a new mobile phone every time he needed to make a call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Once, he said, he even wrapped a mobile in a jersey and placed it on the luggage rack of a departing train at Brighton so the Police could track its signal all the way to Bristol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The only way to stamp out drug dealing once and for all is for the State to accept that its war on drugs isn\u2019t working and follow the American lead where individual states have legalised the recreational use of marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The purpose of a State is to regulate trade between its citizens and not to act as an overzealous busybody forever seeking ways to justify its existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The surge in knife and gun crime is a direct response to the Police\u2019s failure to move with the times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">There has also been a tremendous hike in domestic robberies caused by the drug trade&#8217;s turf wars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2151\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2151\" style=\"width: 598px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a

sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Rather than buy drugs and sell them, it is far more profitable to locate a dealer\u2019s home and break in, holding him and his terrified family hostage until his hiding place of drugs and money is revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The robbed dealer cannot go to the Police complaining his stash has been stolen, nor can he claim off his household insurance pretending that his missing cash was earned legitimately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Instead, seething with rage he must wait until he spies his attacker at some local druggie haunt, and then take his revenge with a gun or knife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If, on the other hand, his trade was legal he would have able to call the Police as well as reclaim his loss from his insurance policy like everyone else can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The only beneficiaries of this failed policy are the most ruthless criminal gangs prepared to sink to any depths to drive their competitors out by any means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Whether or not they have their mobile phone confiscated is hardly likely to have any impact, particularly when they are changing them several times a day already.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span

style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Failing politicians pursuing failed policies only make our streets more dangerous and initiatives as described in Mrs. Bourne\u2019s newsletter can only be regarded as hobby policing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">It is not fair to expect hard pressed
