Sawmaster, I couldn't agree more, Daleg, bit of a sweeping statement that doesn't fit all, one of my cop cousins was convicted of assault age 14, but still allowed to be a cop, I myself am a former approved repo agent have worked extensively with the police in uk for years, and for years saw nothing but corruption, I appreciate this is uk not usa.
I am the first to say amongst the motley crew of plod are many fantastic police officers who do a very difficult job with little thanks, much the same as our respective military do, it's just a pity that the dodgy cops make the work more dangerous for the decent ones.
I have been in prison, twice convicted on cops lies, the last case was thrown out though after 4 cops positively identified myself , who have never met me as the guy wearing the full face balaclava, yes seriously fortunately I was able to prove I wasn't even in the country, but this still got all the way to crown court(I chose crown court), cops/cps knew it was likely to get thrown out, "I" walked into the court with a bag on my head upon being asked to and removing bag to reveal a balaclava clad person and the words you must recognise me now were said to which "I" was invited forward when asked to confirm identity being such and such NO was the answer then "I" removed his balaclava to reveal it was my mate not I, yes we got a bollocking for this theatrics the judge had already decided to throw case out, solicitor was present throughout but not agreed about tactics, long story short pathetic case thrown out.
Like I said this is uk but I don't imagine any different from usa, imo the biggest crims not yet caught wear uniforms.
