Re. the sergeant's "flawed" evidence, as a reasonably law-abiding citizen it was a bit of a shock when I fell afoul of the Met's arcane evidentiary practices many years ago.
Turned up at station as requested for interview, sensibly kept schtum to have my day in court.
Amazingly between times my old school right to silence had been written up by the old bill as "Yes, it was me...I did it".
Luckily enough I had a rake of witnesses so rightfully copped an absolute discharge but it was a real eye-opener to hear 100% fabricated incriminating statements ascribed to me on oath in open court.
And that, best beloved, is how the filth earned their name.
