Point taken, maybe it's the fluoride in the water making me paranoid!!!!
All I know is that I have a criminal record from my time in the RAF from a summary hearing. I scuffed a door and its recorded as criminal damage. I am out the RAF and needed a CRB chevk for work. After several letters I was eventually able to get hold of a working copy of the tape and it had been edited. Of that I'm certain I remember a chunk of the interview that is no longer present. My letters to the RAF Police all get passed to HQ Air command, my MP cannot force the RAF to comment, and after several letters no comment from the MoD. The day after my MP states he cannot force the RAF to reply I am contacted by NACRO the crime charity and told that my conviction predates the armed forces act 2006 and is unlawful.
I later find this link, could it have happened to Bale too?
