Re the motoring offences, the police essentially washed their hands of the whole business, the offenders were taken back to Linton in the hope military discipline would suffice—-basic mistake.
One typical incident. The driver slid his BMW off the road in icy weather, pulled out by the police, no tax, no insurance, no driving licence. In front of the CO the next morning, he signed a document confirming he would not drive again until he was fully legal. That very night, he managed to run into a police car, it’s impossible to deal with such a downright lack of ethics. Representations were made to the Embassy, a man did come to talk to the ‘officers’ but with little apparent effect.
