How come the Police don't use hands-free kits?

Why does the policeman currently blocking the way to Charlotte Road still have to hold his radio to his ear?

Wow, and here I thought that was an American problem.

In Seattle, the city owns the power company and runs the garbage pick up,with the individual households paying for these services. And yet, the city cannot figure out how to combine the two billing systems together, so every month I get TWO mailings from them instead of one. I can't imagine how much they're paying out in postage. Me, I mail off just one check. I wonder if it screws things up for them.

As for the cops - my guess is that they are intrinsically stupid like ours are here. I give you an example based on how American cops handled a running car abandoned (by crooks) on the railroad tracks near my old apartment. They were there for an hour inspecting the car for contraband, but oddly NONE of them thought to call the train company and tell them that the tracks were blocked. It all ended very spectacularly but left me without a lot of respect for the "men in blue," since they could also have easily just driven the car somewhere else.
