Prosecuting the Little Guy: How Underfunded Public Agencies Misfire
Manage episode 437886295 series 1521983
In this episode, we explore the controversial actions of various public bodies, such as the Environment Agency, the police, and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Highlighting instances where ordinary individuals are penalised for minor infractions, the script critically examines the focus on these 'little guy' prosecutions while larger and more pressing issues like environmental pollution, knife crime, and major industrial accidents remain unaddressed. We question the effectiveness and priorities of these underfunded and understaffed agencies.
