1000 police given amnesty after stealing!!!

[flyermay]

This is an article I found about more than 1000 police officers that stole £3.7 million of public money and were left free without any punishment (on top they were given additional “training and guidance”).

More than 1,000 police officers who used their corporate credit cards for personal spending have been given an amnesty.

Met Police chiefs decided there were so many officers guilty of abusing their American Express cards that they would not be punished.

But the force watchdog condemned the move to give offenders just ‘training and guidance’.
One in three of the 3,533 officers who were issued with the corporate credit cards misused them and at one point £3.7million of public money was missing.

So far three officers have been convicted of criminal offences linked to their spending –including former counter-terrorism detective Matthew Washington, who bought a holiday and items from a Soho sex shop…

Can anyone imagine Joe Average receiving an "amnesty" for abusing a corporate credit card?

At least it is now confirmed; there are at least 1000 corrupt wankers in the Met Policy Enforcers Mafia.

£3,7 million from policy enforcers, politicians with their snouts in the trough, the bankers fleecing us for billions ...

Seems everyone is taking a slice of the action, passing the bill onto the taxpayer, and no punishment or time served.
It's a fucking joke ... so brazen and in our faces.

Actually, there are at least another 1000 more corrupt thugs:


More than 1,000 police have criminal records

More than 1,000 serving police have criminal convictions ranging from assault to burglary, according to figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

The data, obtained by the Liberal Democrats, showed 1,063 officers with criminal records, including 59 for assault, 36 for theft and 96 for dishonesty. Other offences include battery, fraud, perverting the course of justice and forgery... [full article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/mar/11/police-officers-criminal-records)]

The Times 6/7/09

Senior police officers are receiving “off-book payments” and secret perks totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds, including private school fees and cars for their spouses.

The Times has discovered that one chief constable heading a force of just 1,700 officers was paid a £74,000 top-up on his salary last year. Sean Price, of the Cleveland force, was paid a £50,000 “retention package” and an “honorarium” of £24,000, raising his income to £200,000.

The private deals, sometimes referred to as debentures or supplements, are negotiated with police authorities behind closed doors and paid over and above salaries agreed in national negotiations.

The incentives include generous relocation packages, satellite TV, home security and even “lifestyle coaching”. They are legal but largely hidden from the public. The Times has uncovered the scale of the practice.








Ian McPherson, head of Norfolk police, received £70,000 more than his £126,000 salary in 2007-08 when his police authority paid the stamp duty on his purchase of a new house.
Sir Norman Bettison, West Yorkshire’s chief constable, has a “unique package” worth about £55,000 a year.

Essex Police Authority paid a “golden handcuffs” bonus to the chief constable, Roger Baker, but the strategy failed because he retired this week.

The pay deals are the subject of fierce disagreement among chief police officers and officials, who are gathering today in Manchester for the annual conference of the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) and the Association of Police Authorities.

Sir Ken Jones, the retiring president of Acpo, said: “If people feel that the pay scales need to change then they should be openly renegotiated. These payments effectively lock people into a particular force and inhibit movement and development.”

Another senior officer told The Times: “We should not have such secrets in the Police Service. This works totally against the idea of equal opportunities. You have to be part of the inner circle.”

But Stephen Bett, the chairman of Norfolk Police Authority, said: “If chief executives of district councils, with very limited direct public accountability, are paid £120,000 a year, what would attract anyone to be Chief Constable of Norfolk, with all his direct accountability, for £129,000 per year?”

It's not just credit card fraud,the police are as bad as the MP's.

And they say crime does'nt pay.It makes me so angry that they get away with this.

[peace sells]

So these people ( and i use the word loosely) spend 3.7million of public money on dildos and feck knows what else and receive " amnesty" at the same time senior police officers are given salary boosters and having their stamp duty paid whilst many people in this country are struggling to get by and many face losing their homes, its disgusting.

The UK is a banana republic. These top ups are really a cut of the crooked cash they have earnt dealing drugs and spying on people to nick their Intellectual Property. By IP I mean things like jokes, business ideas or scams even song lyrics. I think that it is a free for all. I really think that they cant haul anyone in front of them. Bunch of hypocrites.

Makes me want to go down to my local cop shop to ask if i can have theoretical immunity for future misuse of public funds as I feel im underpaid....

So if you were still wondering why no mp's are being prosecuted for fraud......

Yep. Rogue's agreement.
You turn a blind eye ... we'll turn a blind eye.
... and we'll stick the bill to the taxpayer (again)

Organised Crime at its best ... actually, on that subject, you have to wonder whether the "Organised Crime Unit" is more a title of their business enterprise than it is the title of what they prevent.

Similarly, the Fraud Squad.

Isn't that ironic?
All this time, we have been lead to believe that they are there to PREVENT Organised Crime and to crack down on Fraud ... when in reality, they have been there to conduct it, contro it, regulate it and profit from it.

Pretenders..

As the tsunami approaches the coast and the waters become shallow, the wave is compressed due to wave shoaling and its forward travel slows below 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph). Its wavelength diminishes to less than 20 kilometres (12 mi) and its amplitude grows enormously, producing a distinctly visible wave. Since the wave still has a wavelength on the order of several km (a few miles), the tsunami may take minutes to ramp up to full height, with victims seeing a massive deluge of rising ocean rather than a cataclysmic wall of water.
