Out of all the various police-critical entities out there I’ve come to consider that Crimebodge is one of the best out there. He’s been absolutely solid on holding the police to account when they misbehave, lie or are just plain idle. His advice to me in my particular circumstance I’ve found invaluable and this advice allowed me to discern when and how officers were lying their arses off, something that has been filed away for later use.

Crimebodge is definitely one of the better and more legally informed police critics out there. He has branched out from documenting police misconduct and providing advice into bringing private prosecutions against police officers on those occasions when neither the police themselves nor the Crown Prosecution Service will do the prosecutorial job that they need to do.

The video linked below shows a most appalling and disgusting example of police brutality aimed not at a major criminal, but at a man whose only problem was to have received a housing benefit overpayment and then get put on the police Automatic Number Plate Recognition database by the Department of Work and Pensions. The violence that the police meted out to the victim was unjustified generally but it is particularly unjustified over such a minor matter.

The police crippled this man then lied to the courts to try to stitch the man up for imaginary ‘weapons offences’. Thankfully the man was cleared and was later compensated financially by the civil courts. Unfortunately the lying and violent police went scot free and this is where Crimebodge comes in. He is trying to mount a private prosecution against these officers, one who left the police, one who was promoted to CID and a third who is now in prison for sexually exploiting a mentally ill woman whilst on duty.

Please watch the video below and consider donating to Crimebodge to bring a case against these disgusting individuals.

Another thing that disgusted me about this case was the actions of the NHS ambulance staff who eventually attended this incident. First of all it took 25 minutes from the assault by police for the ambulance to arrive. Then the ambulance staff denied painkillers to the seriously injured man until he submitted to their request to divulge to the ambulance staff what his name was. This was an act of disgusting inhumanity by ambulance staff and it is something that we as Britons should remember next times some moron asks us to ‘cheer for our NHS’. It’s a shame that Crimebodge’s case is not encompassing the behaviour of the Ambulance staff but maybe others with a greater focus on NHS failure may well do that?
