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

What is extreme porn? Probably nothing shocking.
No SqaD you are guessing

" and had been disciplined for spending too much time on the internet at the Royal Alexandra Hospital......" is from Bilal Abdullah - now spending 32 y as a tax payers guest. and that was 2007

People commonly take their own lap-tops into work with a dongle
and yes you are correct there is then an issue about data confidentiality....

Sorry zacs...Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?

Latin a little rusty these days.
Sqad - your predictions are required in the RBS Round 2 thread in Sport please.
Much better if still a little pretentious.

Ummmm...none of us know what the exact nature of the porn was, nor frankly, do I want to know. It was serious enough to get three serving Police officers arrested, so I think its safe to conclude that it wasn't pin-ups of Betty Grable.

But why are you saying that it was "probably nothing shocking ? "
Question Author
Pretentious ? No...I think it gets to the heart of this affair. The Police should be above suspicion.
BBC radio news has commented just now that it's not child porn.

Well, we have to be grateful for that at least boxy !
The police are human beings, and whilst the vast majority have the ethos of 'policing' at the heart of their workaday lives, there will always be a few 'wrong-uns'. I just a fact and bit naive to believe it will ever be otherwise.
It states that it wasn't child related in the article Mikey posted.
I admit I didn't read the link, zacs, I heard about it on the news.
.

Even in the Sopranos - yeah ok I know it wasnt real - Meadow tells the kid that there is gonna be a sweep by the FBI - and the kid says so ?
and Meadow says they will find all the pornography on your computer....

I dont suppose that someone in the public interest will leak these photies -after all as we have heard they arent THAT bad....

tell you what - I was lying in bed this morning (lying geddit ?) and felt something in my hand ( watchit watchit clam down) and it was a phone ! And I thought I was at 10 Downing st and look ! there were three disgusting photoes on the handset.
I think I am going to have to email my MP - not not with the photos - those photos - I think I might do a dead sheep to him instead.


They are gonna say they were off duty when they accessed them
almost as good as making luuuurve with your trousers around your ankles so that you can later swear in court that you had control of your gun !
Like Sandy, I would be pruriently curious as to what constitutes "obscene" pornography sufficient to be arrested for :)

As to the specifics - For the Met. to have arrested these officers, the smart phones in question were presumably police-issue, and sharing/viewing porn on workplace computers/ phones would be a misconduct issue in most large organisations, I would have thought.

I would not say such a case indicates that the police are "out of control", but it does point to management problems and a culture of elitism within closed "elite" groups, such as the Diplomatic Protection Group, although I am assuming here that the DPG is essentially a tight-knit group of officers, rather than just your average bobby being drafted in to serve for a period of time.

Hard on the heels of plebgate though, it does seem careless - although maybe this issue has arisen because the Met has been more closely scrutinising these particular officers in the light of the allegations over the conduct of serving police officers within the group rather than being an example of a more endemic, general malaise.
No Lazy Gun I think mikey is drawing a parallel at the hypocrisy of saying they were shocked at Mitchell calling them a pleebee

and then swapping porn at work - not bad porn mind you.....
.

10 15 - one of the officers investigating pleebee - on Operation Alice has been suspended and NOT one of the original plebe officers - who are still presumably on duty opening the little gate and telling everyone who wants to go thro the big gate to p+ss off.....they re not paid to do it.
/// People HAVE been dismissed for downloading porn to NHS work computers, sqad - I've seen it happen in my own organisation. ///

And quite right too, those are 'works' computers but I would have thought that they would have had some kind of filters to prevent such misuse.

But I would have thought that these were personal mobile phones, and I suppose this sort of thing happens all the time among some males.

Should all mobiles of serving armed forces now be scanned, I bet they would come up with similar images on these, i wouldn't imagine that they would prevent these men from carrying out their duties, no matter what their occupations.

Where will this kind of thing end, what if they come across some 'naughty' words or jokes in their text messengering?

Apart from all this, why has it been broadcast across the media, surely an internal disciplinary investigation could have taken place?
So you would rather not know AOG?
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.
