Has anyone been discouraged or told not to open a case by police officers recently? In the last two years I've tried reporting an attempted kidnapping, car break in, extortion, fraud and vehicle theft. And I was either discouraged by the officers, told me to go to a civil court instead, that they "don't see a crime " or that its not their job to pursue that crime. Both by sea point and campsbay SAPS. Is this just a coincidence or has other people experienced it aswell? I spoke to a neighbor and he said the only time he could a case opened is if he went with his lawyer.
