Quote:
The lord chief justice has warned police that they risk damaging their image of independence after Scotland Yard acted on behalf of big business in a private prosecution during which they received a promise of money.

Virgin Media offered the Metropolitan police a 25% share of compensation recovered from fraudsters the company had targeted in a private prosecution, in which the Met used its powers of arrest and search as part of the private prosecution.

I had a call today from someone who had just heard a copper on the radio.

He said that because of targets, they have to resort to underhand tactics like if they see a builders van, for example, with a mobile number on it, they call the number and see if the driver picks up. Instant pennies and a booking.
