Will The Police Never Learn ?

It seems that years after the Hillsboro disaster, the Steven Lawrence case and numerous others, the Police still manage to completely cock things up.
They just can't get away with things like this any more but it would appear they still stubbornly try :::

Amazing !

Not sure cock up captures it.

This lawyer was deliberately victimised. They took away privileged and sensitive case documents. If any of those subsequent cases were won by the police/prosecution there is grounds for an appeal.

Of course no one will be sacked or demoted for this wrong-doing and all compensation will come from the taxpayers.

This is my favourite bit...

// In the wake of their inquiry the IPCC recommended that Cleveland Police consider suspending Ch Insp Riordan.

Instead, he was retired on a full pension following a decision by Cleveland Police's Assistant Chief Constable Sean White, a man who knows Ch Insp Riordan personally as they were both on the police sailing team.

The IPCC has said that the decision not to suspend Ch Insp Riordan "sent out completely the wrong message". //

Why am I not surprised?

It would seem that the British police are dangerously close to being completely out of control. The new inquests on the Hillsboro victims are just about to start. We had better prepare ourselves for a bumpy ride.
