A police service has been criticised for using blindingly obvious messages in its campaign posters.
"Don't Commit Crime" is stated on one of Hertfordshire Constabulary's posters - "All fuel must be paid for" has been added on posters at petrol stations.
Language watchdogs the Plain English Campaign said the notices were funny, but an insult to people's intelligence.
A police spokeswoman said: "We are not saying it is going to stop hardened criminals but it may make someone who is nervous think twice."
