Reply to: Police up to old trick

And complaints can be handled with the Haringey Option: first they conduct a thorough investigation, they they exonerate themselves.

Why complain? They're only doing their job.

The police can be trusted perfectly to carry out their function in society.

Paid by the taxpayer too...

In that case he has a rubbish lawyer...

From the Telegraph:

misleading the public now seems the default position of the police and the Government

Now, this is the Telegraph here, not the Morning Star.

Interesting article here...

I think this is more a case of the police cocked it up again, (by not getting enough admissible evidence to get a conviction), rather than "up to their old tricks".

And now we see the cynical reaction of the Home Office as they deport Dr. Asha - because his Visa expired while he was remanded.

Had he tried to renew it while remanded it would have been refused anyway.
Clear indication the government considers him to be a dangerous person.

Doubt the deportation will go through though...he has a good lawyer.

This is a good point. They can lie as much as they want during interview : and they do.

Yes, it's common practice and it is called bluff. They can't do it in court however as it will be called perjury.

Lesson is to remain silent and demand lawyer to be present.

It's common practice (acceptable) for police to bluff and pretend they know more than they do, so long as they don't lie in court its fine. If this wasn't the case then the Prisoner's dilemma wouldn't even be known.

So long as the courts are independent and jury is honest this will keep police in check.

Dude, its pretty well known that in the UK if you arn't white you can pretty well be rolled under the general "black" banner.

are not / aren't

[Peoplesoft bloke]

They needed to find evidence..They had none. Last time I checked that makes one innocent. (or very clever). The only tie in is the relationship and money. And the jury didn't believe he knew about anything or where the money was going.


I'm sure jacqui smith will save us and come up with a way to convict the man.

yes - that same Jaqui Smith who doesn't think there's any problem with not being able to walk around alone after dark.
