Orde always talks a good game, but he's never backed it up unless it suited his masters. And I certainly wouldn't take any grief from him on ethics or morality...

Does that apply to Chief Constables as well? I think that a better punishment is to strip them of some of their pension. Sending them to prison just costs the state money, plus if police officers know that a possible outcome is that they lose even more money through having a years pension contribution taken from them it means that they would either ask for even more or not consider it. The majority of the police are pretty good. It is those higher up the ladder that have the opportunity to take advantage of the information that they have.

Just read in the Eye that the Met's murder team higher-ups might be looking over their shoulders

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

just throw corrupt cops my way, I know how to deal with them
