  So why was this man put back into a taxi? He obviously committed an offence and should have been arrested. Instead the police failed to uphold the law, which seems par for the course these days.
  
  This current initiative, if you can call it that, is nothing more than "hot air" from the police and unless they take positive steps nothing will change.

  You are missing the point. What the police are saying is that your approach has not worked so they are trying something different.
  
  Plus if they locked up every tom, dick and harry that had a jimmy riddle in the town centre their wouldnt be ANY police officers left on the streets. But im sure your response will be "dont see any police on the streets anyway" or something wholly constructive and positive.
  
  If you dont like the level of policing in Colchester then we have something in common. The police we have left need our support and to be given the freedom to try different things."
