The Ruble is crashing now this...the end is nigh.

Russian criminals can expect to see a little less of the long legs of the law after authorities decided to ban short skirts and other uniform modifications, amid concerns over rising police hemlines.

According to the Moscow Times, the Russian Interior Ministry has launched a crackdown on modifications to uniforms after concerns over male officers cutting off their shirt sleeves and female officers shortening their skirts.

I have a hunch there would be a lot less crime if we had more cops that looked like that. I'd probably turn myself in for something I didn't even do.

Not to mention everyone would be begging for tighter criteria for 'Stop and Search'...

This topic is meaningless without Gary's or Kip's input. And Kip is way funnier.

It's G&D's fault for banning Kip the last time. I still remember when he was one of us.

If the individual of whom you speak is the same I have in mind, you're incorrect in saying G&D banned him. The banishment was earned by the poster. G&D may have been the harbinger of bad news, but he didn't hand out anything that wasn't rightfully earned.

Kip wasn't banned by G&D, he was banned last year. He came back a couple of times and got canned again. I'm just blaming G for the hell of it. Kip should not be banned. He should have a get out of jail free card.
