    Ragebait in the headline.

    The British Transport Police (BTP) says it will not investigate bike thefts outside stations where the bicycle has been left for more than two hours.

    It means most bike thefts will not be investigated and CCTV footage will not be looked at outside a two-hour timeframe.

    Critics say the BTP policy means those facilities are not secure and theft has effectively been decriminalised.

    It is a shitty situation, but “critics say it is effectively decriminalised” is not “decriminalised”.

    Won’t do anything about personal theft, fuck you should have had insurance. Skip out on a 2 quid tram fare though? They’re all over that.

    This country is ridiculous.
