Default Bloody traffic police at accidents

Some accidents on the M25 and A40 this morning basically gridlocked most of west
london thanks to plod taking their own sweet time to clear up the scene. Does
it really warrant closing a major road for 3 bloody hours (and counting) just
to take notes of a car crash? Once the casualties have been ferried away ,
take some photos and push the vehicles onto the side of the road until they
can be towed away. What is the bloody problem with plod in this country? Why
does even a modest accident have to be a ****ing "crime scene"? Have they
really got nothing else better to do with their time?

100% with you on that one, the eventual likely outcome of a crime
scene investigation is prosecution which normally will result in a
fine or two and a few D/L points, is that worth the cost of the delays
and disruption caused? Any plod like to comment??
