A High Court ruling prevents firing police officers deemed a public risk. What might this mean for public trust in the police? Do you agree with our readers? Have your say on these MetroTalk topics and more in the comments. Rogue police officers and that they will be placed on paid leave. Excuse me? Police officers deemed to pose a risk to the public cannot be sacked according to a High Court ruling branded ‘absurd’ by Met chief Sir Mark Rowley .
If this is the terrible attitude to getting justice for victims of the most serious assaults, why are we surprised when cautions are handed out for ‘lesser’ offences? And for anyone who thinks ‘peeping’ is a minor crime, may I remind you that Gisèle Pelicot’s husband was initially arrested for upskirting. It appears French police take sexual offenders more seriously than our forces do.
