Before you enjoy yourself too much with laughing, have another read of the post.
The vast majority of the police join up relatively daft but honest, and the majority remain honest to some extent. However over time dishonesty becomes normal and gradually the line of where honesty and dishonesty start slowly moves.
For instance, I know a copper who regularly encourages witness for the prosecution for lie in their statements to enable an easier conviction. This is done is the belief that he is doing the right thing in protection the public..so is this dishonest? The intention may be good? Ok he may have a greater success in getting convictions but what if he makes a mistake?
Island crazy - The police have guidelines that are recommended by the Lord Chief Justice, this applies to all Police forces. These guidelines can be easily manipulated and interpreted to hide police dishonesty and corruption.
Bottom line is any police officer with a small amount of experience will know how to use the guidelines to their advantage. The IPCC have no teeth and are hopeless.
Ignore any threats at your peril!
