Life in a police state

From The Telegraph: "Police watchdog investigates claims that three officers attacked war veteran"

Also from The Telegraph: "Police shoot man dead outside Guildford Cathedral"

Er, also from The Telegraph: "Damian Green accused of 'grooming' Whitehall mole, claim police"

Ah ... another one from The Telegraph: "Ian Blair poised to publish a book about his years at Scotland Yard" ...Sir Ian Blair is negotiating a book deal worth an estimated £150,000 to reveal all about his turbulent years as head of Scotland Yard.

And people still wonder why so many of us no longer respect the police.

The first one shows why CCTV cameras are not necessarily a step back for human rights. However i would prefer a separate body from the police to be involved in collecting evidence from them. Rather to many video tapes have gone missing, as in the Menedez case.

The way the papers use the word "grooming" at the police's behest shows how very far fromm supporters of human rights the media is. Or perhaps we are going to see them say that Crimewatch is grooming informers.
