perusing the international media I come across stories that amply demonstrate what the average citizen is up against compared to the powers of the police.

1."Wrongly accused detectives get $10 million"
it's about a bunch of detectives in Australia finally cleared of wrongdoing but given a massive compensation payout including for "false imprisonment".
According to so many people I talk to when someone's charged they are guilty and if found innocent-have got off on some technicality.
Puts a new light on JK's huge legal costs and all the others who pay through the nose. What about those eventually found innocent in a court but locked up nonetheless when charged. False imprisonment ?..apparently not (unless you are a cop)I bet these coppers also had their legal costs paid for by a police association.( union)

2. The other from OZ as well :
"Cops face charges over leaks"

and lets hope they throw the book at them.

But how many police press releases go out with vast exagerations about an accused who is only alleged to have committed a crime when charged ?

## as for "vile pervert"..I see News Ltd ( The Sun)worldwide newspapers are going big on Rush Limbaugh's petty attack upon Hillary Clinton. Why anyone would remotely be interested in what a shock jock spouts out is anyone's guess but why isn't any mention of Limburgh pre-faced with.."convicted drug-user" ??
After all-we should warn kids about the man's crime.
