I was reading our local newspaper when a headline caught my eye.

Headline said:
PCSO faces jail over insurance deception
That's not good, I thought. Better read on.

Article continued said:
A Police Community Support Officer faces jail after deliberately deceiving his colleagues.
Not good at all. Not really surprised though. Though another bent copper is hardly news.
So I read on.

Article then said:
Daniel Le Moine, 22, who works as a PCSO in Colchester, was found guilty of using an insurance certificate with intent to deceive. He had denied the charge
Good. I hope he has the book thrown at him. We put people in positions of trust...yada yada yada...
So I read on.

Then the article said:
Chelmsford Crown Court heard that Le Moine, who is dyslexic and suffers from learning difficulties, was involved in a car crash in February 2008, when he was driving without insurance...
...and wait, you'll love this...

It then said:
Jane Oldfield, reresenting Le Moine, had told the Court that his condition "seriously affects his ability to take things in and his ability to remember it". This is why he did not register that he was not insured.
For the love of all things right and proper, what the fk are we doing putting people like this in uniforms other than those with Golden Arch badges?
How was he possibly capable of even beginning to do his job. He is effectively saying that he's a fking goldfish.

Rest easy though folks.

In conclusion the article said:
Le Moin has been suspended from his post.
FFS. He should be suspended from a post!

Not at all. I'm advocating chimps as an appropriate upskilling exercise into the ranks of security forces.

Not at all. I'm advocating chimps as an appropriate upskilling exercise for any government employee.
