Just trying to be serious about the whole thing.... the cops are a
special case.
MPs are protected against libel suits when they speak in
parliament...... parliamentary privilege.......
At a time when democracy is being eroded by common consent, it
remains useful that our 'representatives in parliament' have the
freedom to speak on our behalf or on behalf of their conscience, while
enjoying
immunity from libel suits against any statement made in the
parliamentary chamber.
------------------
There should be a similar privilege when it comes to saying a cop is
corrupt. There should be immunity from libel suits when a citizen
calls a cop corrupt.
Why?
Because cops have the power to beat confessions out of us and to
plant fake DNA on items recovered from a crime scene........... and
also to pretend that "low copy number" DNA matches are valid because
paid
"experts" say they're valid...... while the average defendant has no
money to hire an equally fake "expert" to brainwash a jury the
opposite way.
There should be a balancing mechanism, a braking mechanism, built
into the law, to send a strong signal to corrupt cops that they will
be exposed and publicly shamed if they bully vulnerable suspects into
confessing to crimes they did not commit or plant fake DNA
evidence ................ or pretend that LCN DNA profiling has any
validity.
In short, the legal / justice system MUST ALWAYS BAN CONVICTIONS
WHICH DEPEND SOLELY ON POLICE HONESTY.
So convictions must NEVER be allowed on the basis of confessions or
DNA "evidence," as these are dependent on police honesty.
The criterion for conviction must be: would we convict in the absence
of the confession / DNA? If not, do not convict.
Considering what has happened in the past, the legal / justice system
must completely disregard anything a cop says in court.
The learned judge must always instruct the jury: "in view of what
Dick Holland did to Stefan, and what happened to the Birmingham Six,
Gerry Conlon, Judith Ward, Wilhelm Reich, etc, the jury will
completely
disregard in their deliberations all statements made in this court by
police officers."
Given the human condition, and given the nature of policing in every
country, logic requires us to rule ALL confessions and ALL DNA
profiling to be always inadmissible in ALL criminal prosecutions.
Given the human condition, no police force anywhere in the world can
be trusted to present evidence to a court based on a confession or on
DNA profiling, as confessions and DNA profiling are often faked by
corrupt cops.
