I sometimes wonder whose side the Plod are actually on!

Interestingly the plod who tried to fit up my cousin and lost his job over it, is now the security guard at the local supermarket-he's reminded of his fall from grace every time I go shopping....

Ah I did wonder why you were so anti-police, some bad experiences. Please don't tar us all with the same brush.


Unfortunately, it wasn't just the one officer involved, there was a conscious effort to cover it up/frustrate the complaints investigation. Pocket books going missing, statements going missing, 6 weeks for a sergent to return a phone call. A few unwarranted stops at the side of road on suspicion of me drink driving with causal hints about the complaint dropped in for good measure! Yep, tell me again there are few good ones.....

Unfortunately there will always be those who misuse the authority that they are given. It is not just in the UK as I can testify to some personal experiences.

Australians my age would remember Eddie Azzopardi who had a more than 20 year battle to get justice. As a side note I seem to remember that there had been suspicion that the off duty police officer who caused the accident may have had a drink or two as well.
