Yet Another Police Cover Up?

Seems strange how there has been no condemnation of the police in this case, from the usual 'police bashers'?

Mr aog
It must be a top secret Interpol directive."For god's sake do not mention your immigrant crime increase especially violent sexual assaults."
Might make people think again about opening their arms and boarders. Then there again ......perhaps not. :-(

1. No.
2. There is nothing for which to 'bash' the Police in this story.

1. Not a police cover up. The man was arrested and successfully prosecuted and so the police's job was done. It is not the job of the police to publicise the whereabouts of every rapist in the country.

2. Once the link to his previous crime had been established, then the media should be able to report it. It is the job of the media to make the connection, not the job of the police to reveal it.

3. The Police's primary concern is prevention of future crimes, which is why they tried to block his name being published. However, that goes against the principle of a free press, and fortunately the reporting restriction was not granted.

4. The Police did make a mistake in seeking to stiffle information reaching the public. But the motive was crime prevention rather than conspiracy.

It is a bit presumptuous in bashing the usual police bashers, before any answers have been posted.

/// Police applied to a court to have Jaworski added to the sex offenders register so he could be monitored. ///

/// But they asked for the case to be held in secret for fear that Jaworski would be targeted by vigilantes. ///

/// A police lawyer said the rapist had a right to life and that if his conviction was made public there was ‘real and grave risk’ that he would suffer ‘significant and serious harm ///

Is this privilege handed out to all rapists or only to immigrants?

Gromit has already explained it to you....

No he has not.

All rapists carry the risk of being attacked by vigilantes, not just immigrant rapists.

Plod would have been in a fix if he had been a Polish footballer, or 'celebrity.'
