(with the option of appeal.. lets face it.. we all hate miscarrages of justice.. so this has to be done correctly) if there are multiple civil rights infractions to that officers record.. then there needs to be a cut off where, that officer is let go due to bringing the service into disrepute.. (they CANNOT work well if the general public is not onside) only then will policing in the country improve.. (a least a little, anyways).. but.. lately, world wide, governements seem to do the exact opposite of what is good for their populas.. and you can guarrantee.. what they will actually do.. is ban filming police, making it an arrestible offence.. even if its being done to actively protect the civilian. and then.. they will be able to get away with anything.. as to the world wide plan.. way too many vids of rights abuse coming from the US etc, to think its only a local phenomenon

[@simonneep8413]

I'm assuming they're a no win no fee outfit, in which case taking 25% of the compensation isn't unusual. The costs part is simply to cover their work on the case, and this was awarded to them as they won the case, so in effect they got paid for the work they did, then the extra 25% goes toward any cases they lose where they won't be awarded costs - effectively working for free. What I do object to is the £25 bank fee, are they wiring the money from the Cayman Islands or something? That's really taking the mick. Edit - a misunderstanding on my part, this was an out of court settlement so TLA wasn't awarded costs. If he had been then he would have got the full £5000 (minus 25% minus £25). Interesting that their costs came out to such a nice round number though. Imagine if they'd spent another couple of hours on it, there'd be nothing left for TLA!

Doesn’t seem fair that you only receive a couple of hundred quid 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do they recruit for thuggery specifically? It does seem so.

Police Officer Crosses The Line & Then Gets Sued For £5,000 ???? NO-NO-NO - WE PAY THE £5,000 !!!😠😠😠😠

Thanks for the update TLA...look forward to seeing some of your other ongoing cases soon..the thing i find disturbing is the fact an Inspector Norman in this case felt he could go hands on with impunity..these examples may encourage other officers to follow suit..if he can we can!!

EVEN when was a serving Police Officer in the 1980’s, I had very little respect for the Met Police. Back then, they as unprofessional as they are today. Total muppets. I realise I am generalising & that NOT ALL officers & pc’s are or were muppets, but the majority were, that I came into contact with.

Your header says the police officer gets sued which is not correct mate . The taxpayer got sued . Don't get me wrong , I commend your actions and have the greatest respect for you as an auditor . Top notch you are . But until they make b@stards like him financially responsible for their own behaviour , it's the taxpayers bill ultimately . Hope you enjoyed your break 😊👊
