British Policing Today

A senior copper once said to me, "Some of the people I work with are worse than the criminals they're meant to be catching".

Things would be much worse if they didn't feel a need to hide their corruption.

Direct entry for intelligence officers or agents to covertly jump straight in at a controlling level has been paused.

. . . Direct Entry programmes were paused to allow the College of Policing to consult with the service . . .

Isn't it great to know they don't need to know anything about the job, they just need to know how to tell people what to do.

No previous experience of policing is necessary to join the Direct Entry Inspector programme . . .

If they did not hide their corruption Kester, Police would be implicated in serious organized crime.

Including but not limited to, drug distribution, prostitution, people trafficking, and extortion from one end of the island to the other.

So, seven years later things are even worse??

The shocking truth about police corruption in Britain

a reply to: Direne

My wee buddy got his house broken into last year, they came in through a side window from the back garden, was not very professional.

Managed to cut themselves on the way in or out, so blood all over the window sink/floor, and even managed to leave muddy footprints all over the place because it was muddy in the back and raining all weekend.

Police did not turn up until 7 hours after he reported the break-in, and the so-called forensics unit that are supposed to attend to take prints and collect other evidence, never came until near enough 2 days later, by which time they claimed the crime scene had been contaminated.

It's not just the corruption that's of significant concern but the fact that Police are inept and can't even be bothered to do the job with any sort of proficiency.

They don't prevent crime but simply pick up the pieces afterward, and sometimes not even that.

Yes, I've seen numerous police surveillance teams doing absolutely nothing to stop the coc aine trade, but my experience is Intelligence officers and agents run the trade. Police are one step below in the pecking order. I've been told by a long term agent, ex-military with several murders under his belt and one of the untouchable drug dealers ex-'traveller' free festival scene, Castlemorton organiser etc. that he is going to kill me 'when the time comes'. I've got nothing to lose.

Send me evidence of corruption and I'll post it.

All i would suggest Kester is that people who say they are going to come and get you seldom actually follow through with the threat.

If people are coming for you they seldom choose to advertise the fact.

As its simply counterproductive to the task at hand.

a reply to: andy06shake

It's far beyond that simple scenario.

a reply to: Kester

It never is with that mob Kester.

But like i suggest, telling people you are coming to get them is generally an intimidation tactic as opposed to a credible threat, especially so when it comes to you second hand.

Whoever the guy is, it sounds like he has more to lose than you if he's issuing daft threats.

How did you manage to crap in his cornflakes and provoke such action if you don't mind me asking?
