Yes, I agree I don’t want to start a red herring here, but this goes on all the time. I used to completely agree with fitting up some scum that has robbed and beaten up an old lady etc, but now my view has changed to some extent. However if the motive of the officer is correct then perhaps he has a point. If he doesn’t get a conviction…who will be the next victim?
But then a culture of lying develops and then where do you draw the line?
I have some background knowledge on the workings on the IPCC and Standards, and I am quite sure my comments/ complaints would serve no purpose. The Police do protect themselves and the IPCC have no teeth whatsoever.
Another one, chasing a stolen car...and having crashed into it causing serious injury. The rather senior officer in the back suggested the other driver hit them in reverse. This was not true but this is how it was reported!
Events like happen all the time, every day. No one is very interested in letters/ complaints. The other day, one paper advised that the police would only respond to homophobic and racism, burglary and assault were not considered important enough.
The point I am making is not criticism of the Police, but rather caution in ignoring a warning. Personally I go for the easy option…go fly another day.
As far as making reports to police re corruption, suggest you read “Untouchables, dirty cops, bent justice and racism in Scotland yard”
You will not change anything and will only expose your self to agro!
