PC 'tried to prevent daughter's driving prosecution'

[wjwren]

Interesting. Silly mistake by the PC may cost him his job. I bet he would be thankful to the Specials if it prevented his daughter from killing someone or being injured herself.

Three days sounds long.

PC B will lose their job if found guilty. It doesn't look good on the face of it.

Strange and stupid. My dad was a traffic copper and if I’d been caught using my phone behind the wheel my dad would have thanked the specials, given me the bking of a lifetime and stopped me from driving his car.

Got to admire the specials integrity mind.

Indeed - it could have been easy for him to talk them round to handing the job over - well done to them

Clearly thought they were an easy target. Little bit different situation for him now mind.

I take it the daughter was prosecuted?

[ED209]

Absolute stupidity will cost him his job and rightly so.

[carinaman]

Specials with more integrity than a paid officer. Not the first time and not the last time.

[Jimmy Recard]

Stupid thing to do. Plenty would say it’s only minor, but I like to see corruption (attempted or not) stopped at every opportunity

[irocfan]

silly error of judgement from the PC, and one that will (rightly) result in big trouble for him!

[untakenname]

Have no sympathy for him as surely he knew that she was driving when he was on the phone to her?

Wonder what charges maybe laid against him?

That it's at a misconduct hearing suggests no criminal matters as they're nearly always undertaken after a charging decisions has been made / criminal matters are finalised.

I wouldn't call it stupidity. Dishonesty is far more precise.

He'll lose his job and good riddance I'd say.

4 page PDF about Misconduct hearing next week. It's not obvious to me whether it will be held in public.

Edit. Point 16 on last page says it'll be held in public.

Really???? I would suggest ii's quite often the other way round, in a lot of cases a criminal investigation will often follow an internal disiplinary hearing.

It has the potential to get much worse for him. I can't believe we won't hear more on this one. Attempting to PCOJ seems stonewall to me. and unfortunately being in the job makes it more likely than not.

They do like to make an example.

The police very rarely will undertake misconduct proceedings prior to the criminal proceedings being concluded. This is to avoid prejudicing any criminal proceedings.

Unless it's a Special Case Hearing (which it doesn't appear to be), where they would go through the misconduct hearing prior to criminal matters, there will be no charges to come.

Hey 'La Liga' surely 'lessons will be learnt' so surely that all that is deemed necessary going on past performance

[anonymous-user]

‘Past performance’ would indicate a fair few have lost their job for gross misconduct involving dishonesty.

Apart from that, it was a clever, biting contribution.
