Synopsis

The book the government lied about and wanted to ban - the explosive truth about modern British policing, by a serving policeman writing deep undercover for fear of the sack.

WASTING POLICE TIME explains why there's never a policeman around when you need one, why the 'war on crime' is a sham and how senior officers and the government conspire to fake the crime stats and fool the public. PC David Copperfield is an ordinary bobby with an extraordinary talent for writing - he's hilariously scarcastic and biting about his bosses, the criminals he deals with and the judges and politicians who allow our streets to collapse into chaos as they themselves live in fortified houses and are driven around by armed police.
