This isn’t new information. Plenty of serving officers have criminal convictions.
Services. Police SERVICES. Haven’t you seen Hot Fuzz?
We are sending people convicted of domestic abuse to protect the victims of domestic abuse.
What’s even more upsetting is the fact that nearly every officer charged with a crime is given unconditional bail despite many incidents showing that they’ve repeated the actions multiple times and are likely to do it again. When someone gets unconditional bail it’s guaranteed they’ll get a light sentence. An officer convicted of death by dangerous driving got a suspended sentence despite him showing no remorse and not pleading guilty. I always hear how officers are being dragged down and that rubbish but it’s hard to believe when officers can kill and get therapy and community service
Yet more of the U.K. establishment protecting itself
While this may be an unpopular opinion on Reddit. I think it is well worth reading the article because the headline and the content are quite different in my opinion.
The headline appears to suggest that officers with convictions are rife. However the article itself says 49 total officers have had a conviction since 2018. It is worth knowing that the current total number of officers across the whole of the UK is around 170,000.
Further into the article it makes mention of two officers who have had convictions for common assault offences. These can include pushing someone or otherwise touching someone when it is unwanted. Does it really seem reasonable that someone loses their lively hood for what could be as little as a touch? This again is taken from data since 2018.
Google ai says this shouldn’t be the case
“Convicted offenses that may still allow someone to become or remain a police officer are generally limited to
minor, non-violent misdemeanors, such as some traffic violations or youthful indiscretions, and depend heavily on the agency, the age of the offense, and the applicant’s honesty. Felony convictions, crimes involving dishonesty (perjury, fraud), domestic violence, and sexual offenses usually result in automatic disqualification. ”
any pig convicted of these offences needs striking off immediately wtf, we are supposed to respect these twats
