Milton claimed to be "familiarising himself with his vehicle". Now, I understand the need for police officers to be familiar with the techniques of high speed driving and for them to undergo training. I followed the trial in the news at the time. It sems that his constabulary's procedures for high speed training were quite involved. A time and place had to be designated for the training session and a risk assessment presented. The session had to be agreed by a supervisor and entered in a log, countersigned by the police officer in charge of the shift. The officer under training had to be accompanied by another officer who was authorised to provide high-speed driving instruction. All well and good, one may think. However, it turned out that PC Milton was alone in his vehicle, had not submitted a driving plan and was not logged in as undergoing training. He simply found himself on a stretch of motorway in a fast car and decided to have a go. He was also found to have driven at 84 mph in a 30 zone. It's arguable whether the 159 in a 70 zone was dangerous, but there's just no way that 84 in a 30 zone isn't dangerous. Yet, despite having flouted his force's procedures and safety regulations, as well as bringing the force into disrepute, his superiors - from his sergeant all the way up to his Chief Constable - elected to support his testimony. That's conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and to me shows that his force is deeply corrupt. -- Enzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

I didn't vote for 'em. ;-) Actually, to change the subject slightly, we in this locality have had some fantastic news in respect of the criminal fraternity lately. We have had two bank robbers shot to death by the Sweeney in Chandlers Ford; a guy who was trying to break into business premises had his finger severed by razor wire perched on top of the wall he was climbing; and a man was electrocuted to death trying to burgle from business premises in Cowplain. Oh what a joy to behold! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
