Thread: Richard Lincoln

And to be fair... none of you appear to know much about the situation at all. And all of you ought to be dismayed that the courts seem reluctant to hold the police to the same standard that the public are held to.

The Rule of Law is the legal principle is that all are subject to the law, including the police and given that the police would not prosecute their own errant member/s in this case, a private prosecution given the chance to proceed would have at least coveyed the general message that the courts were impartial irrespective of the final outcome.

In so far as Mr Lincolns comments to the policemans wife - I would have thought that was on the minor end of what could have been said given the totally unacceptable way the the police acted in this case. And that has been verfiied by the findings of the court after the police doubled down and prosecuted him for totally unsubstantiable reasons.

Personally I don't understand the findings of the Law Society - and I wouldn't be surprised that on appeal that decision gets changed. There is more to this that that alone... and clearly some have made decisions that would seem hard to justify on this basis alone.

Its entertaining anyway..
