Great timing. The police in the UK are being encouraged in the dubious practice of using psychics. Maybe they should just lock them up. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep/01/psychics-police-investigation-peter-sutcliffe#comment-58590611

Not really.
You could, if you really wanted, go and read the consultation in question. (It's not hard to find.) There, you'd find this:
"Psychics
"High-profile missing person investigations nearly always attract the interest of psychics and others, such as witches and clairvoyants, stating that they possess extrasensory perception. Any information received from psychics should be evaluated in the context of the case, and should never become a distraction to the overall investigation and search strategy unless it can be verified. These contacts usually come from well-intentioned people, but the motive of the individual should always be ascertained, especially where financial gain is included. The person’s methods should be asked for, including the circumstances in which they received the information and any accredited successes."
That's not encouragement. That's just saying that information comes from a load of places, and should be taken on its merits.

I knew you were going to say that.
That'll be £5, please.
