#GuidoFawkes is he having a laugh?

Guido Fawkes must surely jest , he is calling for the return of the death penalty ! Just take a look at this blog and witness for yourselves the corruption in the British Police Force. We have MURDOCH who has bribed Judges and Goverment,  not to mention corrupt lawyers who threaten witnessess so they are too afraid to speak out. The McCanns running the largest missing persons fraud ever to be seen supported by MURDOCH and his middle man Clarence Mitchell. The Goverment confirming ALL DNA of innocent people will be kept on a database...So, to sum up we have corrupt judges , corrupt coppers who can easily plant evidence of an innocent person placing him or her at the scene of a crime just because they did not like the look of your face. Dear God help us all with fools like Guido one wonders whose side is he on ?  

I can only assume he has ONLY just found out his phone has been hacked explaining this strange turn of events !

#PoliceState: Welcome you are now under 24 hour surveillance !

The Telegraph – Innocent people’s DNA profiles won’t be deleted after all, minister admits

Daniel Hamilton, a director at campaign group Big Brother Watch, said: “This is a disgraceful U-turn on the part of the government. Destroying physical DNA samples is a pointless gesture if the computer records are to be retained.

“Despite paying lip service to freedom and civil liberties, this government is fast proving itself to be every bit as illiberal as its predecessor.”

The Guardian – Welcome to Royston … you’re under surveillance

In June, three campaign groups – NoCCTV, Privacy International and Big Brother Watch – made a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office, alleging the Royston ANPR installation is illegal.

But Daniel Hamilton, director of the civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, told the BBC: “The information will still be held by the state and won’t be deleted, which represents a U-turn.”

The details were uncovered by civil liberties group Big Brother Watch following a request under the Freedom of Information Act, for the three years from 2008 to 2010.

Commenting on the research findings, Daniel Hamilton, director of Big Brother Watch added: “Police forces must adopt a zero tolerance approach to this kind of behaviour.

“Those found guilty of abusing their position should be sacked on the spot.”

Daniel Hamilton, of privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch, said: “Evidence for the ability of CCTV to deter or solve crimes is sketchy at best.

“Residents will be outraged the council is intending to blow this much on a new CCTV network.”

BBC News – Ministers accused of DNA database U-turn

But Daniel Hamilton, director of the civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, said the anonymised samples would still have a bar code on them which would allow them to be “married up” with information about individuals.

“The information will still be held by the state and won’t be deleted, which represents a U-turn by the government,” he told BBC News.

“Destroying physical DNA samples is a pointless gesture if the computer records are to be retained.

“Despite paying lip service to freedom and civil liberties, this government is fast proving itself to be every bit as illiberal as its predecessor”.

The Guardian – Police forces come together to create new regional surveillance units

Daniel Hamilton, director of pressure group Big Brother Watch, expressed concern over “expansion by stealth” of the police’s ability to conduct invasive surveillance, and called for a review of the police’s Ripa powers. “While covert operations play an important role in solving criminal investigations, these operations should be the exception, not the norm,” he said. “Expanding the use of wiretaps and the monitoring of internet connections risks dragging scores of innocent people into police investigations they should rightly play no part in.

“The government has pledged to limit the ease by which local councils can utilise Ripa powers. A similar review of police Ripa powers should take place.”

Medway News – Police fired 10 for data abuse  [not available online]

According to figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by website Big Brother Watch, which scrutinises public bodies, Kent Police terminated employment in ten cases and a further 28 workers faced internal disciplinary procedures between 2007 and 2010.

#Cenorship of the #INTERNET without debate!

Where is the web blocking debate?

The disclosure that the Government is actively discussing web-blocking will come as no surprise to many following the debate – but the fact that the confirmation had to be secured through an FOI request should be of real concern.

The inclusion of the Digital Economy Act in the wash up dramatically curtailed public debate around the significant powers contained within it. Whatever your views on the copyright and civil liberties issues involved, it was an affront to the democratic process for such a piece of legislation to be rushed through far from the glare of public scrutiny. Furthermore, the resulting legislation suffered massively from a lack of input and debate, in an area of policy that is absolutely central to Britain’s future as a digital knowledge economy.

BT ordered to block

A High Court judge ruled earlier today that BT must block the file-sharing website Newsbin – the first time such a judgement has been handed down in the history of UK law. Using the blocking technology CleanFeed, Newzbin2 will be inaccessible for BT customers as a result of a copyright infringement case brought by the Motion Picture Industry of America.

#PoliceState #Coalition u-turn on #DNA database

This week it was confirmed that the government is to abandon its Coalition Agreement pledge to delete the profiles of more than 1 million innocent people from the national DNA database.

In a letter from the Home Office minister James Brokenshire to MPs, he confirmed that DNA profiles of those arrested but never charged or found guilty of a crime would be retained by forensic science  laboratories in an anonymised form. Profiles would “be considered to have been deleted even though the DNA profile record, minus the identification information, will still exist”.

This is a disgraceful u-turn on the part of the government. It represents a betrayal of an explicit commitment made in the Coalition Agreement and stands in contravention of a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights banning the retention of innocent people’s DNA.

Destroying physical DNA samples is a pointless gesture if the computer records are to be retained. 

Please do get in touch with your MP and make your views on this issue clear.

#Hackgate : Andy #Hayman Britains most corrupt copper !

The #MET are brutal and corrupt and NOT on our side !

Can confidence in the Metropolitan police sink any lower? Even before the past few weeks revealed the possibility of their complicity in the News of the World hacking scandal, and the past few months their brutal attitude towards the policing of students and other protesters, there were many who already had reason to mistrust those who claim to be "working together for a safer London".

Take Ann Roberts, a special needs assistant, who was recently given the go-ahead in the high court to challenge the allegedly racist way in which stop-and–search powers are used: her lawyers claim statistics indicate that a black person is more than nine times more likely to be searched than a white person.

Or take the family of Smiley Culture, still waiting for answers after the reggae singer died in a police raid on his home in March this year. They are campaigning on behalf of all those who've died in police custody. Inquest, a charity which deals with contentious death, particularly in police custody, reports that more than 400 people from black and ethnic minority communities have died in prison, police custody and secure training centres in England and Wales since 1990.

Ian Tomlinson's family may finally be able to see some justice when PC Simon Harwood comes to court in October on manslaughter charges, but if the story had not been tenaciously pursued by journalists (particularly the Guardian's Paul Lewis) the police would no doubt be sticking to their line that a man had merely collapsed at the G20 protests and that missiles had been thrown at medics when they tried to help him.

The appointment of Cressida Dick as head of counter-terrorism following John Yates's resignation is similarly unlikely to inspire confidence in anyone who remembers her role in authorising the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes in 2005, mistaken for a terror suspect because an officer decided he had "distinctive Mongolian eyes".

One of the positive effects of "citizen journalism" is how much harder it makes it for the authorities to disseminate disinformation, such as the stories put out by the Met concerning Tomlinson's death. More recently, in the case of the arrests of UK Uncut protesters in Fortnum & Mason, video footage of chief inspector Claire Clark deceiving the group into a mass arrest has proved highly embarrassing to the police, who nevertheless freely admit that arrests at protests are part of an ongoing intelligence-gathering operation. The use of undercover police officers, such as Mark Kennedy, recently found to have unlawfully spied on environmental activists, has further increased suspicions regarding the motivations for police spying, not to mention the fact that its illegality makes it wholly ineffective against those it would seek to prosecute. It is cheering to see those targeted fighting back against such criminalisation of legitimate protest, particularly among those too young to vote, such as Adam Castle, who is taking the police to court over kettling at a student protest last November.

But given the many allegations of police corruption, racism, spying and death in their supposed care, why does anyone feel safe when the police are around? Robert Reiner, professor of criminology at LSE and author of The Politics of the Police, describes the phenomenon of "police fetishism" in the following way: "the ideological assumption that the police are a functional prerequisite of social order so that without a police force chaos would ensue". In fact, as Reiner points out, many societies have existed without an official police force or with very different models of policing in place. While it may be hard to imagine Britain without a police force of some kind, it is increasingly clear that those who "protect" its largest city are far from doing any such thing.

In the runup to the 2012 Olympics, we should be deeply concerned about the Met's policies and actions, particularly when they congratulate themselves on things that appear to be utterly in contrast to the way everyone else experienced them, such as the supposed "restraint" shown by police on recent demonstrations. Before the royal wedding, many were arrested on what have been described as "pre-crime" charges, with the effect that many were banned from the city for several days for doing precisely nothing. In parliament, David Cameron described the royal wedding as a "dry run" for the Olympics. If by this he means simply a large spectacular event watched by many around the world, then that's one thing. If, on the other hand, he means it to be yet another opportunity to pre-emptively criminalise, to increase surveillance, to restrict the movement of individuals and to condemn protesters, then we have a serious problem.

The resignation of those at the top of the police, and waning public trust in police policy in general, give us a perfect opportunity to question the Met's organisation and tactics. It may be difficult to shake off the idea that the police are "a condition of existence of social order", as Reiner puts it, but to stop imagining they are automatically on our side might be a good place to start.

Corrupt police: Shock revelations

Karl Chapman.

By Tony Gardner

Published on Friday 22 July 2011 09:20

A web of West Yorkshire police corruption derailed a major murder inquiry.

Officers from North Yorkshire trying to investigate the scale of the conspiracy met with silence.

One detective involved in the probe had his home broken into and documents relating to the case stolen, it was revealed in a court hearing.

In desperation the inquiry moved its headquarters to a secure military base.

The revelations were made by a senior officer in charge of the six-year inquiry into how detectives in Wakefield handled the murder of Joe Smales, 85, and attack on his brother Bert, 68, in 1996.

A Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday, July 20, revealed the “shocking and appalling” misconduct of police as they conspired to pervert the course of justice at the trial of Paul Maxwell and Daniel Mansell.

West Yorkshire Police yesterday (July 21) said it has now voluntarily referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

The murder trial key prosecution witness Karl Chapman was allowed to visit a brothel, have sex with a policewoman and take heroin and cannabis in the company of officers in exchange for giving evidence against the two men.

More than £3m of taxpayers’ money was spent on the case.

Maxwell and Mansell’s conviction was quashed in 2009 as a result of the “tainted” and “corrupt” investigation. Maxwell pleaded guilty to murder and robbery before his due to take place last month but Mansell is now free.

In a hearing held prior to Maxwell’s re-trial, Peter McKay, a former Det Chief Supt with North Yorkshire Police, told Leeds Crown Court he recommended the officers in the original Smales inquiry should face criminal charges.

The probe looked at the conduct of some of the highest ranking officers in the force - including the then chief constable, Colin Cramphorn, and assistant chie f constable Phillip Briers.

Some officers refused to co-operate in the investigation. One detective inspector told officers: “I’m going to France, leave me alone.”

The probe was launched at the behest of the Criminal Cases Review Commission after the YEP revealed back in 2001 how £100,000 had been set aside for supergrass Chapman upon his release from prison.

Mr McKay said he had “never seen anything like it” in 20 years as a senior officer.

The court heard vast amounts of documents, tapes and other information vital to the case had been destroyed. Some of the information may even have been destroyed after West Yorkshire Police had been given official notice to preserve evidence.

Mr McKay said: “Some documents could not be recovered, which I was surprised about. We searched a number of police stations. I have my suspicions as to where they went.”

Mr McKay said one of the officers working on the probe had his home in York broken into. Intruders stole documents but nothing else was taken and the decision was made to relocate their inquiry base from police buildings to property owned by the RAF.

It took the operation Douglas team SEVEN months before they could finally arrange an interview with the then West Yorkshire Police chief constable Colin Cramphorn. Mr McKay said his questions to him about the Smales investigations were met with “direct and curt replies”.

The then Deputy Chief Constable Phil Briers was also spoken to.

Mr McKay said: “He had signed a large amount of money for the informant [Karl Chapman]. I had to tell him ‘I will be interviewing you as a witness, maybe under caution.’”

He added: “Some of their actions were frustrating. We were persona non grata - officers coming in from a foreign force. People were not making themselves available. We were also having problems with the hierarchy of West Yorkshire Police.”

Maxwell’s barrister Patrick O’Connor said: “One of the most striking aspects of the saga is the extent to which this many officers, and these senior officers, seemed to have behaved with apparent impunity between themselves.

“They seemed to act as if they had no fear that one of their colleagues was going to inform on them and bring their conduct to a halt. They trust each other implicitly didn’t they?”

Mr McKay said some of the officers were “results driven” and “not very concerned with procedures.”

He added: “With regards to senior officers, it is clear that there could be more professional auditing, tasking and checking but there wasn’t. That culture seemed to permeate throughout the inquiry.”

Asked why criminal prosecutions or disciplinary procedures were not brought against some officers, Mr McKay said: “I completed files to the CPS and I am somewhat surprised some of the police officers were not prosecuted. I cannot comment on the disciplinary procedures.”

Surrey #Herald: Police breached DATA protection

14 Surrey police officers breached Data Protection Act

Daniel Hamilton, Director of Big Brother Watch, said: “Our investigation shows that not only have police employees been found to have run background records checks on friends and possible partners, but some have been convicted for passing sensitive information to criminal gangs and drug dealers. This is at best hugely intrusive and, at worse, downright dangerous.”

Seeking JUSTICE for Daniel

No confidence in top cop !

Published on Thursday 14 July 2011 14:51


COUNTY COUNCILLORS are set to propose a vote of no confidence in North Yorkshire’s police chief at a meeting on Wednesday (20 July).


In May chief constable Graham Maxwell was given a final written warning for helping a relative gain an unfair advantage in a police recruitment drive, and now councillors have decided to show their unhappiness at his continued position as leader of North Yorkshire’s police force.

The motion will be proposed at a meeting of North Yorkshire County Council by County Coun Geoff Webber and seconded by County Coun Stuart Parsons.
It will say: “Following the chief constable’s admission of gross misconduct, and the significant expense to the public purse of the enquiry resulting from his failure to admit the gross misconduct at an early stage, that this council no longer has confidence in Mr Maxwell as chief constable.”

Mr Maxwell is thought to be the first chief constable to have faced gross misconduct charges in more than 30 years.

He became North Yorkshire’s chief constable in 2007, joining from South Yorkshire Police, where he had been a deputy since 2005.

Inspector Geraint Lloyd Evans jailed for sexual child abuse..

A POLICEMAN has been charged with child sex offences.

Geraint Lloyd Evans will appear at Swansea Crown Court on March 11.

He has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children; possessing four images of child abuse; conspiring to incite sexual activity with a child under 13 and possessing extreme pornography.

The 47-year-old officer, of Manor Drive, Coychurch, Bridgend, was held on remand after appearing at Llanelli Magistrates yesterday.

IPCC Commissioner for Wales, Tom Davies, said: “I am satisfied that this is being thoroughly investigated.

“It would be inappropriate to comment further now that the judicial process has started.”

A spokesman added: “The Independent Police Complaints Commission is managing an investigation by South Wales Police public protection unit into allegations that 47-year-old Inspector Evans was in possession of indecent images of children.

“A separate SWP criminal investigation in connection with this case has led to the arrest of four members of the public.

“Three have been charged and are being held on remand.”
