This was one of the best episodes of 24 hours in police custody ever. I didn’t read the synopsis of the episode so it was a surprise to see him arrested. He literally did everything wrong! Didn’t delete his search history, he had a copy of the ransom note at home.

[@TheDirtyNorf]

Deleting his search history won't have done anything. The search history records they were looking through would have been provided by his ISP which can only be obfuscated through a VPN. But the fact he didn't do anything to try and cover his tracks does speak volumes.

[@esmeecampbell7396]

​@@TheDirtyNorfthe Police COULD request these records... However if you actually watch the episode in full they didn't do that because they didn't need to, he searched it on a work computer (so they could just have the IT team pull the logs of what sites were visited directly off the server) and then they searched his computer once they had a warrant to search his house and there was further proof on there. Had he not used a work computer (and found the person through other OSINT methods) , or used a different person's login then they wouldn't have immediately realised it was him. And had he used a VPN with TOR then even if they did think it might be him AND convinced a judge to sign a warrant for them to search his ISP for logs, all they'd see is encrypted traffic which wouldn't be proof of anything. Ironically for him the biggest problem was he was assigned the blackmail case to look into...himself. Which means he wasn't able to collect the money, which made everyone suspicious as to why nobody came to collect the money which initially suggested it might be someone who couldn't come collect it because they had to be watching it for work...EG a Police Officer.

It’s undeniable that there are numerous examples of abuse, deception, intimidation, incompetence, cover-ups, complacency, bias, discrimination, violence, misapplication of the law by police for personal gain or for some other reason. If you are a police officer and disagree, I’d be amazed. Too many bad apples and not enough people willing to do something about them.

[@cleebe823]

The vast majority of the time the police work with the iopc to block and cover up police corruption and negligence. Any time a complaint is made, no matter how severe it first has to be given to the very same department to "self investigate"... Its a joke of a system that passes victims of police abuse from pillar to post until the complaint gets dropped out of sheer frustration / lack of faith in the police, or the police corrupt and ignore evidence. Not to mention the preconceived notion that police are all good people from the get go. It's an institution that caters towards narcissists, it strokes their egos while offering them impunity, and so that's where the narcissists go. Just look up what you would need to do to prosecute an officer on "duty", it's an absolute farce. Look up the most common reasons for arrest, and you'll find "breech of the peace" in which an officer (who doesn't count as a member of the public by law) insists they are an offended member of the public, wasting time resources and money because of their unadulterated egos. The only reason this would have happened is because Channel 4 were there in the first place so they "threw this guy under the bus" but this man had no fear that he would be caught doing this believe you me, and it would be naive to imagine this was his first corrupt act, you hardly go from upstanding person to blackmailing prostatutes over night. Honestly watch crime bodge on KZbin and you'll be shocked.

This was a very well filmed documentary, the plot played out like a movie at points. Was good to see how the police deal with internal corruption. Oh and to all you who are complaining that he got a slap on the wrist, his former constabulary appealed against the sentence and got it doubled to 3 years (which I know is still pretty laughable but that's the UK and CPS for you). Also for those of you complaining about police corruption get some perspective for Christ sake, the UK has hardly any bent cops compared to a lot of other countries and if you watch this you see he was prosecuted to the full extent of the law, no hiding evidence, no leniency, no bribery. I have to say though the suspect who was caught, especially considering he was a surveillance detective was not the sharpest pencil in the pack. The evidence he left was astounding as well as the fact he could be clearly seen on CCTV around the area in which the crime was committed. Not sure how much of that was incompetence and how much was arrogance and desperation however.

[@iamtheoneandonly9361]

Edward Hewison What's your approach to uphold law and order in this country then? If the British police were that corrupt why would they openly allow a film crew to film something like this which implicates a police officer? Surely they'd not publicise it if so and pay out the officer who committed the crimes? If you think the UK police are that corrupt go and live in Somalia or North Korea and gain some perspective of what real corruption looks like.

[@hermanmunster3358]

I am the one and only. You really think this is an isolated case of police corruption? You are knieve if you think so. Ever heard of police cover ups? The Rotherham child abuse scandal shone a light on the corruption that goes on within the British police service. And then there are the "quotas" that police officers are expected to meet, where traffic tickets and arrest figures are concerned. The police service is no more than a money making machine, upholding statutes instead of law and order. And why would I want to move to North Korea, I am British born? That would be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Even I realise that. But what I'm saying is, the British police are substantially more corrupt than they used to be, no longer a paragon of virtue.

[@cleebe823]

@@JoshLathamTutorials not really, they need to be logged in with their user ID, then all the information, every keystroke, every document accessed, every search, everything is recorded on the police national database, they have no access to it, its like a black box. Of course that doesn't mean anyone is willing to look at it unless you demand its looked at constantly for about a year, while getting ignored and passed from pillar to post. This is a common tactic to discourage people from being able to file comprehensive complaints and to demoralise. You see you have the right to know who is accessing your information according to the data protection act, I know because I've had issues where I've had to do this, and they still pretend they find nothing etc, but you'll notice as different people from the data protection department do the same search they find slightly different things, that all seem to amount to nothing or make no sense (but the discrepancies are still there), like how an officer hasn't looked at anything to do with you, even though they're meant to be investigating you, or using your info to help build a case against someone else. This is usually the case for extreme levels of neglegence, and stupidity, to protect the useless and neglegent officer. They all scratch each others back mate. Same as in many other walks of life, apart from with almost complete impunity and power over us mere mortals. Of course this isn't made common knowledge, and we all know why don't we, so I won't blame you for your misunderstanding.

Cleeb E pal, no database is ever 100% unhackable, important databases are attacked regularly.

Also we’re literally talking about framing an INTERNET SEARCH, that’s one of the easiest things imaginable

[@cleebe823]

@@ayissatsanaaaa9625 give it a go and get back to me if you're successful. If someone wanted to do it from an actual access point from the PND they'd be leaving their own trail. No one has the privileges necessary to delete anyone else's trails, let alone their own trails. If they did there'd be absolutely no way to investigate a corrupt cops online presence. There is, but unfortunately for us mere mortals we need their station, the iopc and the data protection staff to be simultaneously cooperative with us first and foremost as opposed to the divine beings that walk among us, as if just one of those services aren't the investigation is essentially blocked. Unfortunately they all work together, go to each others barbecues, stag nights, and scratch each others back to make life a little easier. Hackers take advantage of easily accessable privileges, there aren't any. If there were you'd have all kinds of disgruntled people doing it all the time. It's a closed system mate, that's why it's akin to a black box. Hacking isn't magic. The only way it'd work is if he left his ID plugged into the machine and left it there for god knows how long while still being signed in, (with cameras in the station looking at who's sat at any particular machine too). Problem with that is his I'd is required to go anywhere or do anything. Of course if this somehow did happen, then your just trading one bent cop for another, in a situation where other cops are allowing the bent cop to falsify searches on other people's machines by not investigating the in House cctv properly. They may not have decent resolution enough to see the monitors properly, but they know who's sitting where and when, all time stamped. Either way the swamp needs draining. Are we police or associate with police by any chance? Because believe it or not the people that are supposed to investigate them tend to have the same kind of attitude as you, by that I mean bias towards the police being valiant heros no matter what they see with their own two eyes, an institution of no accountability and boot licking, perfect place for a narcissist to roam free unabated (no right minded person would think a police officer could possibly do wrong, I mean they're police, am I right? "We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing" Is the most common response to a complaint. Want to know the most common arrest? It's a breach of section 5 of the public order act, so that means offending the public, want to know how many times people are convicted? Almost never in comparison to the amount of arrests, why? Because the police arrest the public when they swear, regardless of intent, while talking to the police, why does that mean they don't get convicted? Because the police aren't members of the public when acting as a police officer, and so the case has to be thrown out, wasting admin time, and tax payers money processing pointless and false offenses due to wounded ego. Why are their egos wounded by someone using a swear word in a sentence? Because they see it as an offense to not see the police as God's that walk among them and that they should be able to treat anyone how ever they want with impunity. You're also not allowed to complain about their behaviour or you'll be threatened with the same baseless claim and threat of arrest. This is because they're narcissists and can/do get away with it on a daily basis.
