As a person who has grown increasingly sceptical about the honesty and probity of Britain’s police forces I find that the website Crimebodge is an illuminating read for me. This site documents some of the arrogance, dishonesty, politically correct bias and stupidity that has come to characterise too many of Britain’s police forces and are criticisms that can be applied to far too often to individual officers. Now before you write me and indeed Crimebodge itself off as ‘anti police nutters’, let me tell you I at least am far from that. There is a necessity for law and order and for the peace to be kept, but when police officers ignore real crimes and real criminals in favour of harassing ordinary members of the law abiding public, then my view of the police changes somewhat.

For far too long bad officers have had complaints against them investigated internally by their own forces or by different forces or by the Independent Police Complaints Commission with varying degrees of success. All too often valid complaints by honest and normally law abiding members of the public are dealt with in an unsatisfactory manner. When we look at the situation regarding South Yorkshire Police and the Rotherham Islamic Rape Gang scandal for example we can see quite plainly that the existing means of getting justice against bent police officers or officers who misuse their authority are not working. It is highly unlikely that the IPCC or internal investigations will do much to deal with the allegedly widespread collusion between Islamic Rape Gang members and police officers because one officer will be reluctant to risk the career and pension of another.

However now there is an alternative to previous often ineffectual means of getting redress against the police, that of bringing a private prosecution against the individual police officer. Here’s the Crimebodge site with more details.

Crimebodge said:

“Recently we have noticed a worrying increase in one specific type of police misconduct:

Police officers who retaliate against members of the public for daring to complain.

That retaliation can take many forms such as: Making a malicious arrest on exaggerated charges, issuing harassment notices, sending out officers to discourage or misinform the complainant, placing untrue allegations about the complainant on intelligence systems, making malicious referrals to outside agencies and so on.

Should the subject of such spiteful retaliation make a further complaint he is often dismissed as paranoid or a vexatious complainant.

As a whole the police do not believe that their conduct should be scrutinised. So what if a police officer threatened you with arrest if you didn’t let him search you without reasonable suspicion? If you’d done as you were told then he wouldn’t have to bend the law in the first place. So what if an officer telephoned you and insisted you come to the station for ‘a chat’ or he would raid your house and arrest you? How else is an officer going to trick you into the station against your will and without a warrant?

As far as the police are concerned, these are all necessary tactics in the war against petty crime. Almost EVERY police officer bends the rules at one time or another. Therefore, if they uphold a complaint against one officer for doing so, that means upholding complaints against them all. Far better to just look the other way when it’s happening or have a bit of selective amnesia when it’s time to recall the events. Why destroy a fellow officer’s career and pension for some petty infraction of the law?

The fact is that these casual abuses of police process are becoming ever more pronounced. So much so that most police officers think the law of the land doesn’t apply to them and they are free to enforce their own selective brand of law enforcement.

The public’s right to send a police officer to jail

What most of these officers wilfully ignore is that abusing their authority for their own advantage is a criminal offence. An offence recently introduced via section 26 of the Courts and Criminal Justice Act which states:

26. Corrupt or other improper exercise of police powers and privileges
(1)A police constable listed in subsection (3) commits an offence if he or she—
(a)exercises the powers and privileges of a constable improperly, and
(b)knows or ought to know that the exercise is improper.
(2)A police constable guilty of an offence under this section is liable, on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years or a fine (or both).

As far as we are aware, nobody has yet been prosecuted under this new offence. Of course they haven’t. An offence created specifically for police officers, presumably to be enforced by other police officers. What chance do you stand of having a police officer prosecuted for “Corrupt or other improper exercise of police powers and privileges” when you know full well that it is the police you will be reporting it to? Who will automatically tell you that the place for such criminal allegations isn’t the front desk of a police station but the laughably inept and totally biased excuse factory known as the police professionals standard department. Where you are almost certain to be flagged up by the officer complained of so he or she can’t watch out for you, and perhaps get their revenge on you.

What the police won’t tell you, is that you don’t need them to bring a prosecution against a police officer. You have the same right to prosecute criminals as they do. Section 6 of the Prosecution of Offences Actpreserves this common law right.

In fact, if you were so inclined you could task yourself as investigator and prosecutor, amass the evidence against your suspect, invite them to an interview, then lay charges before a magistrate. This would then result in the police officer receiving a summons to appear at court, under threat of arrest if he failed to show.

Although the CPS has the statutory authority to take over or discontinue any private prosecution, they will only do so if they consider the prosecution not to be in the public interest, or if there is not enough evidence to secure the reasonable chance of a conviction.”

Crimebodge then went on to detail their plans to bring about the first ever private prosecution against a police officer, currently an officer from Hampshire Police who Crimebodge and the original complainant alleged grossly abused the position of constable. Let’s hope that this case and those like it are successful because the ordinary decent people of Britain deserve better than what we get when it comes to policing.

Maybe private prosecutions are the way to go in future when it comes to corruption, assault and misuse of authority by police officers. Maybe police officers would not be so keen to repeat what happened in Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford and elsewhere where they turned a blind eye to Islamic Rape Gangs if the individual officer was facing a fourteen year prison sentence for doing so. Private prosecutions may also be route to enable Britain’s non-Muslims to challenge some of the baffling Islamopandering that we see spewing out of our police forces like a torrent.

In too many areas of the UK the police seem to have ‘changed sides’ and now appear more interested in protecting Muslims even when Islamic preachers incite violence than in protecting us the non-Muslims from the crimes committed by the followers of Islam. Let’s hope that there can be success in private prosecutions against the police because we sure as hell cannot trust the Crown Prosecution Service or other government agencies to hold an increasingly dodgy police force to account.

I have no hesitation in recommending Crimebodge to all of my readers who may be growing increasingly frustrated as seeing what is going on with police forces that were once admired and respected throughout the civilised world.
