More police madness!

This time it's not the Met but west midlands police who are being silly.
They have told their officers not to come to work in uniform after a kidnap an office threat was received.  Makes sense some would say, but not if you think it through.  You see the chances of an officer on his or her way to work bumping into a terrorist kidnapper is fairly slim, far easier for the terrorist to find one on duty, all they have to do is make a phone call to plod and wait for the officer to come to them,  or drive a bit quick on the motorway and again plod comes and finds you.
The problem here is theres no easy answer, you either stop the police responding to all calls (not practical) or send enough officers to deal with any threat they find there (again not practical) simply telling them not to wear a uniform on the way to work isn't going to help I'm afraid.
