24 Hours In Police Custody

[bednobs]

anyone watching? I sometimes (well a lot of times) moan about my job, but thatnk god i don't have to do that girl's job!

Haven't seen tonight's yet (I'm saving it for when all the kids are in bed - living room is like a bleeding trials station at times) but I am thorough enjoying it. I like these real-job programmes (but not medical ones as I am squeamish). I taught in Dunstable for 13 years so am fully expecting to see someone I know (could be in or out of the cells).

[bednobs]

i hope not, given tonights subject :(

[sherrardk]

Oh, ok - didn't mean to be tasteless :(

[Prudie]

I am and am really shocked if I'm honest. I find it so sick. She's certainly one tough cookie and very impressive.

[bednobs]

i agree. Very tough indeed

I was going to post something about this, but you've beaten me to it.

It is very difficult viewing...but the thing that I don't understand is...why is the bloke a) being interviewed without a lawyer and b) allowing thing to be screened!?!??

[sp1814]

Sidebar - I am astonished at how these police officers can watch the stuff they have to watch. It must be psychologically horrific.

[anneasquith]

I watched it, but In truth I turned over when some of the details were given re the abuse, I don't know how any serving police officer can watch such images on a daily basis, ?

[sherrardk]

Someone has to do it Anne.

[ummmm]

Yeah....I watched it. I thought the same as sp. Could it be that he broke the rules of his bail?

I suppose they get desensitised to it.

I rejoice when I see someone make a true and relevant comment and gets in return the Standard Ab put -down

Cher - I used to recognise alot of the Manchester faces on Crimewatch given the pubs I used to drink at... oo-er better not say that on THIS thread !

[ummmm]

It's too early to be talking nonsense, PP.

[Peter Pedant]

never too early sweet one
I take my lead from you

[Svejk]

I don't think it's nonsense, peter. ;-)

[ummmm]

Did you watch the programme Peter?
