Continuing my recent theme of administrative collapse, I’ve just been looking at a BBC report from last year, noting that thousands of criminal cases - including some of the most serious violent and sexual offences - are collapsing every year because of lost, damaged or missing evidence.
Hands up, I've been one to criticise and demand double headed axes through the departments of government. Partially through frustration, but partly, as your research shows, though ignorance.
I have no idea what the solution is other than a slow, long march through the institutions.
This is actually another quango, Police Digital Service. rather than average plods, looking at PDS careers they probably need more funding if they are trying to recruit a Cyber Detect analyst for £45k https://pds.police.uk/welcome/careers/
Is there a more sinister reason why evidence goes missing in certain cases? I wonder is there a trend towards this for certain sections of our society? When we used to live in a high trust society I wouldn’t have thought like this but as we no longer do and many of us have lost respect for Plod, it’s hard to not look into the shadows.
Deliberate systemic failures to ensure the destruction of law and order according to those who's sole purpose is the annihilation of all Christian countries worldwide starting with Europeans the others are less troublesome to control as they are busy working surviving and overpopulating their countries.
When a bureaucracy cannot carry out its functions to protect and serve the public interests then it either must be restructured or dismantled both in this case have not happened nor will happen as a blind eye is turned and always will be.😡🤬👿
I can't help but wonder whether police would be better advised ignoring practically everything in the digital realm.
I'm sure there's plenty of serious crime that has moved, as you wrote, into the digital space. But if police action is focused on spicy memes, I'd rather they just not bother, and concentrate on crime in the real world instead - where robust, visible action by the police can begin to restore the Public's faith.
Especially in cases of burglary, street robberies and other violent crime. The kind of cases where I imagine the evidence protocols are very well established over many years, and cops can just get on with it.
Even more patrols dealing with dodgy drivers. It can't only be me who thinks driving has seriously deteriorated over the last few years. Seriously dangerously bad, some of the stuff I see.
I am convinced that there are a great number of drivers on our roads who have never passed a driving test (or there is a shared one for the clan). Or they have a licence from another country and have never bothered to take their test in the UK. Having recently moved to Cornwall from a more 'diverse' area, I really notice the difference in driving standards and courtesy.
This shows the failure of senior police in forces across the country to prioritise funds and senior politicians failure to remind the police of their duty.
Failure to have sufficient storage equipment up to scratch is pure incompetence or incompetence and corruption.
Failure of the computer system is even more serious.
Are criminals, security forces, foreign interests capable of interfering with police computers?
Does anyone know?
The police obey government, not the law and they have no desire to stand up to them, or reveal to the public any political interference.
Are there any whistleblowers and if there is, how do we find out whats going on?
I do appreciate what you do here, Pete.

The irony eh?
Keep up the good work and the enlightenment.
Unfortunately, I think we don't have time for a 'long slow march through the institutions'.
Pete are you aiming to single handedly replace the entire Select Committee system? You’re not doing badly!

It's all very familiar!

Just a visible presence would be a start, though.
