Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Any Worse For The Number Ten Police !

These offences came to light as a result of investigations into the Plebgate affair. The Police seem to be getting completely out of control.

I would think that it is almost certain, that there are many things much more serious to us than this, that we never get to find out about.

[Zacs-Master]

And are you bothered by that, or are you happy to remain in blissful ignorance?

/// The 'Met' have always been very little more than 'criminals in uniform'
It was far worse in the 50s / 60s when they were basically the biggest gang in London but they are far from 'clean' even now. ///

Can't ever remember any Met officers being charged with having a few porn images on their mobile phones, back then.

Maybe a few copies of Health and Efficiency, Razzle or Men's only, stuffed inside their tunics or in their brief cases, nothing more.

[Zacs-Master]

Possibly because there weren't mobile phones in the 50/60s AOG??? Or had that fact escaped you?

[Zacs-Master]

By the way, I see you've avoided answering my question regarding your 'head in the sand' attitude to wrongdoings. Care to answer?

Zacs-Master

/// And are you bothered by that, or are you happy to remain in blissful ignorance? ///

Just the same as you and almost the rest of us, just accept it and get on with our lives.

Or are you actually doing something about it?

Wow that is very clever of you Zac, how did you ever find that out?

[Zacs-Master]

How do you know I 'just accept it'? I don't need to do anything about it other than work, pay tax, and trust that the authorities are dealing with it as they are patently doing.

[Zacs-Master]

Stop being pedantic and accept that your 'point' about phones was very ill thought out.

[Baldric]

///porn images on their mobile phones, back then.///

I'm just trying really hard to remember which Mobile 'phone I had 'back then' (50;s/60's)

[anotheoldgit]

Zacs-Master

Has finding out about three Met officers who have been exchanging porn images on their mobiles, dramatically changed your life?

If it has then you must lead a very shallow life.

[Zacs-Master]

No, of course it hasn't dramatically changed my life but I'd rather know that police who's jobs are funded by my tax, have been brought to book.

[anotheoldgit]

Zacs-Master

/// Stop being pedantic and accept that your 'point' about phones was very ill thought out. ///

It was very much thought out, and that is why I put it, the trouble is that you and I now notice Baldric are not clever enough to work such things out.

[Zacs-Master]

Ha ha. Ok AOG. Ok.

[Baldric]

//Can't ever remember any Met officers being charged with having a few porn images on their mobile phones, back then.//

IQ akin to that of a Peanut imho.

[Gromit]

Exchanging 'normal' pornography is not usually a criminal offence. It is often a diciplinary offence and a sackable one in many companies and organisations.

I do not think it is clear what is deemed an extreme image, and what images might be illegal. Certain S&M practices are illegal even if it is consensual. Images showing Graphic pain could fall into that category.

Again, terrible PR for the police service.

Some of you would like to see the police brought to book for just patrolling your areas, or anything just so that you can have a dig at them.

It is not as if they crashed a patrol car (that 'your taxes' had paid for) while busy viewing these images on their phones, or turned up late after you had called them out, simply because they were again busy on their phones.

Get real and put things into some form of perspective.

[Zacs-Master]

//Some of you would like to see the police brought to book for just patrolling your areas, or anything just so that you can have a dig at them. //

Where have I even hinted at that? You're just making things up to suit your own ends now.

Gromit

Yes you have a point there Gromit, it is of course down to what these images contained.

/// Again, terrible PR for the police service. ///

But regarding this, that is what this country is becoming more often good at, and that is crying ourselves down.

It is either our Government, our Armed Forces, or our Police etc, etc, we are now according to the news blaming our retail outlets for the vile conditions in Bangladesh sweat shops.
