She won’t have lied under oath

The article states otherwise.

Blimey, the fact that she lied under oath, means that her testimony in any court can never be used again (which I totally agree with), so it begs the question, how can she continue to be employed by the police?

She should have been sacked, no question about it. There seems to be a lot of absolute howlers lately and it's nearly always probationers landing themselves in the st.

She hasn’t been to court so she won’t have sworn an oath, you don’t swear an oath at a police misconduct hearing.

The article is wrong, maybe it means she lied under caution.

A graduate and a masters. Student officer behaving like a first year student during freshers. Final written warning is being completely let off by my book.

No application of common sense over this, still these days common sense is not a tool to be used by police officers, that's the official line as it leads to variable outcomes. Seriously that is the case.
