It said five constables should face misconduct proceedings for breaching the guidelines for searches, while another two should face "management action", an internal measure.

One is accused of potentially discouraging the woman from getting legal advice by implying that she would have to stay at the police station for longer if she did so.

It is claimed that the other officer failed to investigate her claim that her drink was spiked at the club.

They should be fined substantial sums which should be paid to the victim. If officers were to pay personally for such misconduct it might clean up the police.

Yes but do you think that they will actually get charged with that? This is the police we are talking about. That would put most of them behind bars, which is where they should be really. The duty officer should also be demoted for failings on his watch. Problem is that this will inevitably be settled in an out of court settlement with the taxpayers footing the bill rather than the officers themselves.
