Police officer jailed
Discussion
PC just been jailed for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Caught by a mobile, he said a French bloke was driving and gave an address in France.
I find it hard to understand how they can find the time to investigate this and find a prison place for him when you can't get a plod to your burgled house or arson attack on your car....and they can't find prison places for scrotes who steal, burgle and assault.
Something wrong here.

3 days and he's already got it sussed.No, he's that idiot troll who called himself Chav last time...and other names I can't be bothered to remember before that...
Sorry to have to reply to a question from him...but no, I would have quite enjoyed seeing him get away with it.
In my view good.Yes we would of been moaning if he had got left off and people would say one rule for them etc.The concern is though this was supposed to be a honest person who stood up in court and gave evidence against people to get them convicted so how do you know he told the complete truth in the past.

As VH frequently states, the CPS see 'attempting to prevert the course' of justice as a very serious crime regardless of the seriousness of the actual offence committed.
Yes, that's my point.
Why is a crime 'against justice' deemed to be far worse than an assault against the person?

When you broke a window when you were a kid wasn't it always better to fess up than to wait until it was found out that you were the one that did it?

Again, that's not the question I'm raising.
I'm talking about this useless government allowing this country to become lawless and turn the police force into an ineffective service through bad management.

Because it is a cornerstone of our legal system.
Yes, I know it is.
If the purpose of the justice system is to protect the individual, why does the protection of the individual take second place to the protection of the justice system..?

Because the protection of EVERYONE is served by ensuring no-one will PCJ. If people did, then more people will effectively not be convicted and sentenced. That is why the sentence is up to seven years, which is more than for most crimes.
Once it has been established that a serving officer is prepared to be dishonest and lie his integrity is ruined. What else will he/she lie about?
I don't want to work with a crooked cop. Ta ta. Jail best place for them. Sends a clear message to all serving cops that we are in a position of trust and if we break the law it should be an aggravation and dealt with accordingly.

As I understood it, PtCoJ still carries a theoretical maximum sentence upon conviction of life imprisonment (although this is unheard of)..

Yes, I don't question that...
Let's put it another way, which would satisfy me...
Let's put the government in the dock for perverting the course of justice by neglect, namely letting the police force fall to pieces and society to degenerate into lawlessness.

Oh dear. Looks like another troll has joined PH.
Welcome Adolf, enjoy your fun while it lasts.
As I keep saying, its Chav back from his last incarnation...
I think he's back in another guise as well, on another thread, but I can't be bothered to look his name up...

Correct, maximum life imprisonment.
It's perjury that is 7 years maximum.
