This blog has migrated to www.magistratesblog.blogspot.co.uk This blog is anonymous, and Bystander's views are his and his alone. Where his views differ from the letter of the law, he will enforce the letter of the law because that is what he has sworn to do. If you think that you can identify a particular case from one of the posts you are wrong. Enough facts are changed to preserve the truth of the tale but to disguise its exact source.

Carry On Sergeant

The Police Federation are meeting. A delegate, who represents sergeants, is reported thus:-

A senior police official has told officers that government ministers "hate the police service".

John Giblin also said the government wanted to "destroy" the service "in order to rebuild it again, but in their image".


What a stupid and juvenile remark. If you want to be taken seriously, Sergeant, you need to do better than this. Okay, you got your headline, and your name in the papers, but you will have embarrassed many grown-up officers.

Just have another think officer - do you really, in whatever passes for your brain, believe that ministers "hate the police"?
