Safety Deposit Raids by Police......

[ineedagallardo]

What a complete and utter cock up and waste of taxpayers money.

From the bullet points above i will add

: 20 Million has been handed back
: 33 Million still under investigation


Reading through it its absolutely shocking what the 90% of the innocent people are having to go through to get their valubles returned, and the almost illegal tactics the MET was using to try and keep hold of the cash.

Also whats shocking is the underhand tactics of the MET gaining the search warrant - That might i add had already been declined by a senior Judge by going to a different court and gaining it through a less experienced one - Something that they have refused to answer when questioned.

All I can say is it's just shocking, pity they didn't target MP's box's.

these people all broke the law and were criminals.
The Police can do no wrong

I AM THE LAW!!!

[/vonhosen mode]

seriously though this just another axample of the police state at work on behalf of its Nu Laba masters.

I was not aware that the original request for a warrant had been denied!

The whole thing sounds like something my youngest son would do.
Daddy said no
so I will ignore that and go and ask mummy.

The senior judge that refused it should take them to task over this.

I was just wondering whether those who commented previously would see this operation as a success or a failure.

I would say this has very much been a sledghammer to crack a nut method of policing.

I wonder how many people claiming to have "stuff" going missing are trying it on? On the other hand when you have gaps in video recording of handling evidence it doesn't look very good.

Either way, lots of innocent people have had their lives disrupted, lost their key deposits, lost unused rent and generally been treated like criminals. Whilst I accept that there will always be some inconvenience associated with catching criminals when innocent people get treated like some of the box owners have then it is a step too far IMO.

Sloppy, dodgy practice by people who are supposed to uphold the law.

Innocent people with lives turned upside down and put to enormous cost and unimaginable distrress.

Judge Shopping - WTF?

Videos were meant to record everything but those videos seem to have stopped recording for a few seconds and then switched position - ffs - and people find goods and cash have gone missing, totally unrelated of course. The tooth fairy popped in to make up some lost time and being on the shy side refused to be filmed.

Realising they were out of their depth the senior police behind this fiasco tried to swap the law they were operating under and got underlings to run around like blue tailed flies with new paperwork only to be told that the change of legal context they were trying to fudge could not operate retrospectively and that the paperwork must be served on the day - idiots.

Senior police talking a load of old bx at the start and then again at the end when it's gone pear-shaped and they look like chimps.

The key question is how many sackings should follow and how many senior police pensions should be seized under the Police Feckwit Redress Scheme towards paying recompense to those who have lost heirlooms and cash and suffered so much stress for so long.

No doubt some wet weekend of a former senior police muppet will be in the news soon saying they should all receive medals because they might have been right if they hadn't been so disastrously fg WRONG.

Whatever happened to recruitment standards and promotion selection boards? And finally to the poor sods on the front line told to do all this, some sympathy that you are probably lions led by donkeys.

The people that get to be promoted to the more senior positions in any publicly funder organisation need to be politically reliable, intelligence isn't as important.

I must add, I don't agree with it, at all. It's just the way our government seem to work, not sure if it was the case when the Tories were in power, but it certainly is under Labour.

Not to mention Labour's incompetent, unthinking use of targets, mentioned in the report on this fiasco as significant motivation re. target to recover a certain amount of money. This has been known for years to distort policy and practice and reduce quality. Only muppetry would pursue it, and only muppets would follow incompetence so meekly.

For the MET to have discussed that this raid would help them achieve a target of £36,000,000.00 in seized property, shows this raid for what it was, a fishing expedition.

Nothing is safe or sacred from labour and their politicised police force

Indeed, targets are one of the key factors that saw the collapse of Soviet Union. Yet, labour still think socialism is a good idea.

It is even less defensible than usual.

The Met is just not fit for purpose.

[Tampon]

Sounds like the political musings of Nick Griffins in their extreme nature.

Awesome work

You obviously don;t need any intelligence to be a high ranking police officer or politician, all the brightest and best people this country have to offer are promoting there plans for the political structure for this government on the Bar section of a car forum !

Come on turn your venom on me now as a Lefty, commie, tree hugging Labour lover who can't see the police state being draw under my feet in a Starling/Nazi esq manner.

First they came for..........

P.S. I am none of the above but that won;t mater will it ?

Edited to get the first line of the poem correct, doh !
