Individual accountability. This MUST be pursued. I don't actually agree it's their "usual" worst - most times I think these situations are settled intelligently. But the element of "bad apple" (or misguided apple) has to be erased.

my brilliant lawyer got a precedent overturned in the Oz High Court which leaves this poor womanable to sue for malicious prosecution after 22 years.
this now sets a new precedent and as such they can be cited in UK & Canadian courts. It only takes one persecuted person to do it.
(on grapevine I hear she's been offered $10M up from $1 plus costs- another $2M but it's not enough)
"Twenty-two years and a day after Roseanne Catt stood on trial for conspiring to murder her husband, she has been cleared to sue the state of NSW for malicious prosecution.
Since she entered the dock to answer the charges against her on May 7, 1989, the fortunes of Roseanne Catt - now known as Roseanne Beckett - have waxed and waned with the instruments of justice.
A jury found her guilty, a judge sentenced her to 12 years in prison, an inquiry found evidence she had been framed, a court quashed her convictions, a prosecutor decided not to pursue a retrial and another court denied her the right to sue."
Any of you who have been the subject of police attention will know how they act as if above the law...well here is a great case of that.Just try getting justice against them! The system is stack against you.
'He appeared at a preliminary court hearing but prosecutors dropped the case last month after CCTV obtained from the police station contradicted the officer’s evidence that he was threatening and abusive.'
‘The CCTV we obtained clearly contradicts their account that he was shouting and being threatening. Despite this, the CPS seemed determined to take the case to court and it wasn’t until a week before the trial - after six months of anxiety for Mr Samara - they realised there was no case.’
Surely somebody in the police should be held accountable for situations like these?
We start with a small matter like this....then end up with Surrey police 'leading' witnesses into making false allegations...we need something done if we're to regain public trust in law enforcement.
