Out of 1300 people arrested 3.8% were police officers.
On ATS, a site where everything gets questioned, where the media is constantly scrutinised for biased report to fool the masses in support of "them".
Most of you get tricked into some articles like this one that is almost only taken seriously as the heading suggests 50 police officials are involved, but what about the other 96.2% people that was involved?
On a site like ATS where media is controlled by "them" its just so easy to trick you into chaos. Its nearly funny.
I dont think it matters what percentage of officers where arrested vs. percentage of joe public they are custodians of the law, and as such are required to uphold the law, not to break it in such a disgusting and vile manner, hypocritical, dirty bastards!!! putting aside that they are contributing towards the people that distribute this stuff, and encouraging them to ruin children's innocence and cause them physical and phsychological damage for the rest of their lives, they are also putting themselves above the law, and no-one is above the law, and i wager that these officers that where charged are the type to try and use their station to intimidate people!! a poster above said he would reserve his judgement because of the old saying "innocent until proven guilty"....it's not like that anymore, when it comes to dealing with authorities anyway, I know this from personal experience, as I've had a lot of personal experience with the police and british justice system in the past(was'nt always an angel!) the way they look at you is GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!!!! And when someone is dragged through court, sent to prison, then a few years later they find the real person that did the crime, you dont even get a sorry or by your leave, just "oh, you can go, wasnt you after all" but even then they still try to make you feel guilty about something, as they give you that "but we're gonna be watching you anyway" kind of attitude. Dont get me wrong, I'm not anti authority, the police are there to do a job and we do need them, but I cant stand hippocritical, corrupt police officers, especially since the ones that are corrupt are usually the ones that come down the hardest on other law-breakers.
Rant officially over....

Fifty police officers across the UK have been arrested as part of a crackdown on suspected paedophiles who pay to access child pornography websites, detectives revealed today.
Of the 50 policemen identified, eight have been charged to date and the remainder bailed [/b ]pending further inquiries. Scotland Yard said none of those arrested today was a policeman.

They mention in the article that it was "operation ore" which as my google tells me was in 1999 with a follow up in 2001 in the US.
Wiki - operation ore
So while it's not new news, it still makes horrifying reading 10 years later.
I believe you are confused. This news is from today, the article talks about the arrests happening this morning so I'm unsure how this is not considered new?
Are you saying this article is over ten years old with today's date?edit on 30-7-2012 by Corruption Exposed because: (no reason given)

I suppose i also have a warped view.
You base your opinion on feelings but if you would look into depression a bit you would find staggering numbers of depressed people that have been abused as a child.

If this story is as old as some members are claiming, perhaps the mods should move this to the "Social Issues and Civil Unrest" forum.
If it's not breaking news it's still a story worth discussing. As I said in my OP we can't rush to conclusions but there was evidence against these people in order for them to get arrested. It's not rare for people in a postion of power to use their authority to victimize people. I'm surprised that some of you are defending these pedophiles and labeling this thread a case of "cop bashing".
Let's not let the facts get in the way

You have a very warped view of society. There are not massive pedo clubs all over the world, there is a minuscule minority of society who are quite severely twisted in this way.
This is why I hate stories like this, it scares people into thinking the problem is gigantic. It makes people suspicious of everyone. It creates a society where the view of a person is distorted and twisted so much that neighbours suspect people of things they would never ever remotely be capable of.
As for the story itself, I lost trust in the police when I saw the figures for the number of deaths in custody. Or was it the time they were caught assaulting someone on video? Maybe it was when they killed that guy in the protest and then tried to cover it up. No, it was the time they were caught on film dragging a disabled man from his wheelchair. No, my mistake, it was the time they were caught selling information to the tabloids. Oh, wait, it was the time they were filmed riding on horseback into a crowd of protesters and beating students over the head.
Well, whichever one of those instances it was, it made me realize that the vast majority of police are simply organized criminals in their own special club where they all look out for each other and do whatever they need to do to assert their Mafia-like dominance over the population.
What crap! You list a few instances and now its the "vast majority" how disrespectful can you be?
Its like listing a few black people in gangs and saying the vast majority of black people are criminals, wtf is wrong with you?
YOU have a warped perspective. How many 100 000's of police officers in America alone take part in organized crime? The vast majority you say?
And the vast majority of muslims are terrorists probably?
ETA: thousands of children get trafficked to the superbowl every year to work as sex workers, does this mean that the vast majority of football lovers are pedos?edit on 31-7-2012 by kykweer because: (no reason given)
