Home Secretary ditches police election plan
What an extraordinary fundemental shift that would have been in the British legal system and as if it would have stopped just there. The one great flaw in the US legal system is the electing of judges and prosecutors.
Both will go out of there way to make names for themselves..the more convictions the more votes. But it isn't always the guilty being convicted.
Ms Smith is trying to find ways to make the police more accountable. Has she considered having a special independent commission against corruption like so many other countries...Canada etc, which investigates corrupt police and actually sends them for trial ?
This woman is dim ?
