Description

The police chief sits at his desk holding a newspaper with the headline 'Police priorities queried'. He tells three policemen that they are being accused of not apprehended enough child abusers. One of the policemen denies that this is the case by protesting that when they exceed the speed limit they get tickets like everyone else. The suggestion is that more effort is being put into catching people who exceed the speed limit than catching child abusers. Refers to a national inquiry into an "unacceptable" backlog of child-abuse cases.
