There is a premise in law which states you are innocent until proven guilty. With internet offences, there will be a wait until enquires are complete. Indecent images require assessment and are graded. This all takes time - a lot of time.
From what I read, the officer was due to attend to be charged - I would surmise that the relevant enquiries have been done and there were offences detected
The extensions you have seen on TV are limited and would not allow for the relevant enquiries to be completed.
The officer knew his time had come with the impending charges - once charged access to passport and internet etc could be restricted as part of bail conditions. L
Unfortunately that’s the way the law works - it has to be fair and comply with human rights standards.
TGR-
Innocent until proven guilty isn't a human right, its legal jargon for "well we all make mistakes, got to be fair don't you know" its the same as "watch xx allegedly behead someone" when you clearly see the beheading and the person doing it. Its not to protect the individual but the institution.
Your human rights however do protect you in that you must have a fair trial.
Would you consider Freedom a human right, how do the Police punish us?Drop that idealist wishy washy bulllshit.
Public perception > Public interaction.It is true that if you are arrested holding a gun covered in blood over a dead body you will be tried the same as if you were actually seen to shoot the person, that is "innocent until proven guilty" however, in my second scenario, would you be released pending investigation?
We both agree the police had proof of CP, they had to grade it to say how 'bad' a paed he was. He had multiple arrests for the same thing too. They released him, he was found dead, the wrong local cops went to find him, its easier for him to die than deal with a high profile case like this and then try and protect him in prison.
When you get arrested and are waiting (held in a cell) to be processed at a station, if you have a history of self harm, suicidal thoughts or even threaten suicide you will have an officer stood at your open door the whole time.
This guy was supposed to have welfare checks, he didnt. The wrong precinct(?) found him.Keep apologising for the Farce.
Heres some legislation for you too. I used the C4 program to highlight my point on police perception over reality.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/9/notes/divison/4/1?view=plain
'Pre-charge detention can only be authorised where there is insufficient evidence to charge a person and the "custody officer has reasonable grounds for believing that his detention without being charged is necessary to secure or preserve evidence relating to an offence for which he is under arrest or obtain such...'
Did they know they had all the evidence they possibly could?
Laws are frequently bent, legally, when they can be. This time though, everything was done by the book?Finally, approximately 2% of the met police force are now under investigation for "abuse". The way things look its more likely sexual abuse and possibly paedophilia.
18% of UK prisoners are held over sexual abuse with 1/8th of those being paedophiles. Just over 2%
Maybe just 2% of the population in general are paeds, but that means its OK for the police too, its just life....Striking.
.mo.
Still odd.
Released pending investigation, all access to re-offend or run away.
Ive seen 24 hours on C4, they can get extensions
Fact that he's dead proves how inept the farce are dealing with their own.
