TC. Know Anything About This?

If I remember correctly they are public servants and therefore should be answering to the public.... Not a set of flawed targets

In theory yes, in practice.. far from it. Sheeple keep the same old dross in power with a limited choice of alternatives. There's an old saying (may even be a quote) "Anyone who wants to be a politician should not be allowed to be one"

Leaving that to one side, sounds to me like we should look very closely at the CPS....

Ah, now the CPS!!! That is a whole different debate. As someone once said to me, a decent lawyer works in private practice, the rest work for the CPS.

I am not dsagreeing with the rights and wrongs of the case quoted, all I have tried to do is give an explanation to those of you (and I appreciate that some of you do have an unerstanding) who have never been involved in the legal process of how the system works.

I can cite many examples where I was prepared to go to court and give a case a run for its money. At least at the end of the day, if they were aquitted by a jury, then fair play, but all too often the CPS would go for a plea bargain at an early stage in the proceedings, cop a plea to a section 3 and the scrote would leave court with a massive grin on their face.

Back in the day when I first joined the job, the Police decided themselves what cases would be prosecuted, the final decision lying with the Chief Inspector who was responsible for overseeing all cases. Then they brought in the CPS to replace the prosecutions department and things went downhill very quickly.

CPS often run shy of making the big decisons, which is why as mentioned, it is not so much the judicial system per se that is broken, but the CPS element.

The scrote responsible for my brain injury plea bargained - and the cps insisted I accepted it
