Despite this it’s now “too old” to prosecute. Suggesting htat crimes are only worth following up if they happened recently. I think the canoeist should go free on these grounds, if he is guilty of anything that is.

I noticed, as well, that when they showed the photos of other officers from the same force caught in the act of speeding (ie the shots taken from the gatsos), they said that the Information Commisioner had ordered the release of the pics — so the force had tried to weasel its way out of it and initially refused to release them.

Makes you wonder just how “blind” justice is to those who should be brought before her eh? The current levels of contempt for the government and the police, and justifiably the army’s ‘top’ brass and less justifiably the army’s personal (troops etc.) is hardly going to incite a rebellion but there does seem to be growing anger at a) there complete ineptitude and b) there utter inability to accept liability and then have the decency to resign.

Did you see on the news the police officer caught speeding as linked in the above story, issued a statement through his lawyer saying he was pleased to have pleaded guilty and not used excuses or tried to blame technology to escape a guilty verdict as people often do, and he has criticised this, so was pleased to have followed his own example?

…

Do these people have no shame? Who cares if you pleaded guilty. You were guilty. He should resign, or be sacked, but somehow I doubt he will.

Apologies for high-jacking your thread..

“hijacking?”
“he’s a terrorist!”
