Derek Flint Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Gladys said: No, it would have been clearer if you had said that there were statutory procedures in place to protect suspects and this includes the right to legal representation, who would fiercely defend their client's rights. The implication of how you wrote the post was that the police and their procedures fiercely defended suspects rights. In fairness, they usually do. I’ve refused authority for interview to take place when legal representation hasn’t been available. Don’t tar all of the job with the same brush. The IOM custody block has around 70 cameras with sound recording. All available to the defence. Hard to hide anything. 1 hour ago, hissingsid said: There are ways of earning Brownie points with the public and this was not the way to do it. I don’t need to. I don't work in that sector any more. But I will always seek to protect the reputation of those who do it right. Edited April 2, 2022 by Derek Flint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
