Tbf, it'll be down to a small number of people in the CPS and court to determine what legal consequences they face, but there's plenty of scope for people to form their own opinions and act accordingly outside of that process.
Yes and yes. However, whatever pbsmooth thinks matters not one iota. He isn't going to take this to the streets or engage at all with the legal process, and his claim of what most people think is a rather uninventive variation on millions of pms of support.
The officers who were disciplined after stopping athletes Ricardo does Santos and Bianca Williams are to go to appeal in October:

Yeah, I was annoyed about that at the time.
not exactly a criminal Mastermind or very good at punching

I really hope she doesnt give up ... this treatment of the victim is terrible ..... OK, the cop cant arrest him for having lunch, but there are other things that can be done .... did those cops ever think "if this was my daughter ....."Admittedly this comedy of errors going on for eight years is not solely down to the police forces involved but...
Woman says police errors have left rape suspect free to stalk her
The alleged rape was reported in 2017 but is yet to go to court. The justice system is "broken", she says.www.bbc.co.uk
Or even "if this was me".
I'm amazed she is keeping going, frankly, given how little support she has received.
Back in the news is the Metropolitan Police's former PC Philip Hunter who was exposed by the Standard newspaper for having a sexual relationshipwith a suicidal woman ("Mrs X") during a welfare visit and who has faced a new gross misconduct hearing after a dramatic U-turn.

“I have 44,000 people working in the Met. Sadly, some of them are abused at home, for example, and sadly, on occasion, I have a bad ’un”

Greater Manchester Police officer 'removed from operational duties' after video showed man being kicked in head at Manchester Airport
"Greater Manchester Police's Assistant Chief Constable Wasim Chaudhry has tonight issued a further statement on the incident. In it, he confirmed that a male officer has been 'removed from operational duties.' The force confirmed he has not been suspended."
Just short of a year later I wonder how common an occurrence that seems to be. Not exactly rare, that's for sure.
I suspect more common than any force will let on.
Back in the news is the Metropolitan Police's former PC Philip Hunter who was exposed by the Standard newspaper for having a sexual relationshipwith a suicidal woman ("Mrs X") during a welfare visit and who has faced a new gross misconduct hearing after a dramatic U-turn.
Former PC Philip Hunter retired and worked as a London black cab driver when his initial 2020 disciplinary panel was held in secret and upheld a complaint that his conduct breached standards of authority, respect and courtesy, confidentiality and discreditable conduct which would have resulted in his dismissal if he had still been a serving Metropolitan Police officer.
However, in 2022, similar allegations against former PC Philip Hunter by a Mrs Y came to light in relation to misconduct in 2017, but the Metropolitan Police refused to take any further action against him, claiming that "a referral to disciplinary proceedings in this matter would be a disproportionate response in the circumstances of this case".
Then, in late July 2024, the Metropolitan Police announced that further misconduct proceedings would be brought against former PC Philip Hunter, alleging that he "engaged in inappropriate communications with a victim who was vulnerable and whom he had met whilst carrying out his responsibilities as a police officer, with a view to forming a sexual relationship with her or to have inappropriate sexual contact with her.”
Yesterday, former PC Philip Hunter, was found guilty of gross misconduct ... again ... five years after Mrs Y had lodged a complaint and only after the Independent Office for Police Conduct had overturned the Metropolitan Police's decision not to take any action:
'Predatory' former Metropolitan Police' PC guilty of gross misconduct
It has been reported that former PC Philip Hunter previously served in the Metropolitan Police's Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command.
Apparent avid reader, PC Adam Aspinall Da Encarnacao of Loudwater in Buckinghamshire, appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court earlier today holding a copy of 'Credible and True: The Political and Personal Memoir of K. Harvey Proctor' by Harvey Proctor when he stood in the dock and indicated to the court that he intends to plead not guilty two charges of misconduct in public office.A serving Metropolitan Police officer, PC Adam Aspinall Da Encarnacao, who is attached to the policing team in West Area, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday 12 August 2024 to face two charges of misconduct in public office. These charges relate to inappropriately possessing and sharing CCTV images concerning the alleged rape of one woman and the rape of another. One of the women is Natalie Patricia Shotter who died in Southall Park on 17 July 2021, and in relation to whom a man now awaits trial for rape and manslaughter.
PC Adam Aspinall Da Encarnacao was arrested on 12 September 2022 and immediately suspended from duty. On 3 July 2024, the Crown Prosecution Service authorised the two charges of misconduct in public office.
The matter is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police's professional standards officers, and misconduct matters will be dealt with at the conclusion of the criminal proceedings.
