It certainly does feel like the tide is turning on Police accountability in general; which can only be a healthy thing.

This is true. The fresh air of clear thinking, so vital to the healthy functioning of any institution, has increasingly been compromised and replaced by the toxic fumes of cover-up culture. This culture demands that increasing amounts of time, effort and resources be taken away from the institution's original remit and spent keeping a lid on secrets and lies. How much longer can our society afford to go on like this?

The IOPC examined an anonymous claim that Mr Veale had collaborated with a Conservative MP to leak the details and covered his tracks by destroying his phone. Mr Veale initially told colleagues he had dropped the phone in a car park and it was run over.

He told the IOPC he had inadvertently destroyed the device by smashing it with a golf club after a poor shot and said he had lied to ‘avoid more unnecessary media attention’. The watchdog cleared him of causing damage ‘deliberately or with the motive to conceal any information’.
How do you "inadvertently" destroy something with a golf club? Yet he was cleared of causing damage deliberately. Amazing.
