Thanks Temp. I didn't understand and thought the jail time was for being disrespectful to a politician.
Now, it makes sense.

"A police chief has been suspended following "serious allegations" of inappropriate behaviour towards female officers. Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens said a number of allegations had been made against Chief Constable Nick Gargan. An Independent Complaints Commission probe has been launched and Mr Gargan will remain suspended throughout. He has been chief since March 2013, and a serving police officer since 1988." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-27399765This is my constabulary and it's the most mired in political correctness and target-chasing of the forty-four constabularies of England and Wales after North Wales ( Barmy Brunstrom's former patch). Hopefully this will see him gone one way or the other and someone will take over who's actually policed - I mean, properly policed on the frontline - in the last fifteen years and not, as will almost certainly happen in reality, someone be given the job who's ticked all the right boxes politically and can't remember the last time they worked outside 9-5, drove their own car to work and wrestled in the gutter with a violent drunk on a Saturday night (i.e. it will be an appointment of one of the many burdensome senior officers bemoaned by constables, sergeants and inspectors throughout the force service.

And in relation to the above, today we learn that you can now go straight into the senior management ranks without having to obtain any frontline policing experience at all:- www.college.police.uk/en/21104.htmThings can only get better...

Why are they bothering with all these graduates, then? Could be one way of solving youth unemployment. Smirk...
Seriously, though - people with no qualifications would be taken on at entry-level; i.e. cadets with a view to emerging as trained and therefore qualified probationary constables, who could then ordinarily expect to take around fifteen years to work up to superintendant rank, rather than popping up and being accepted straight in as superintendents after a year or so's on-the-job training. Right...?

Now, who's going to believe anything the Met says? It's still as corrupt and bent as it ever was. How do you know the police officer in front of you is honest? You don't.

Probably why I keep a little card in my wallet that explains exactly what powers a constable in uniform (i.e. not a plain-clothes detective) has vis a vis S.43/44, the taking holiday snaps and other activities they still use that as an excuse to harrass people to up their metrics despite it being ruled unlawful.
