Illegal Police Activity
This police officer was dismissed without notice following the theft of a kayak and paddles.

The Lincolnshire chief of police is quoted as saying that there can be no place in the police service for an officer who demonstrated such unequivocally disingenuous behaviour.
In this newspaper report, MET officers made up a non-existent Police Act to illegally obtain information from Virgin Atlantic – if you ask me, the behaviour of these officers is worse than stealing a Kayak.

But you can bet no one will be sacked for such behaviour.

// right down to councils checking things like where parents really live in relation to preferred schools. //
is or was lawful - lots of case law saying that what comes in X act is not confined to investigating X. I think the case law says that what is in the title of the act and down the margins isnt part of the text of the act
but I am sure DB knew that ....
the other case sounds like an employment tribunal case
where costs are not awarded whatever....
I dont think we have enough detail to conclude or not whether the police officers broke the criminal law ... and as we all well know
breaking the law to get information that is relevant does not make the information excluded/ excludable in a court case - ( usually)

no Hymie altho I am not a telepath
I think that NJ will confirm that evidence in a criminal trial which is gathered unlawfully is almost always admitted in evidence
( fruits of the poisoned tree etc we hear so often in American progz does NOT apply here )
BUT
neither of these cases does that arise - the evidence isnt disputed in the kayak case
and in the second - it doesnt seem to be a criminal case .....(civil case either employment or tort - I cant tell which )
Neither of these case are likely to be subjects of Law Reports
so basically we will never know
if you want to make your flesh creep
