Prestidigitation ..... not much mention of this in the press

Three pages of my search engine of choice and only this ... from the British media,makes you think doesn't it
Staggers,
The arrests came after information was passed to the police by News Corporation's internal investigations unit
One has to ask, why were these individuals still at work and not actually suspended by News Corp/News International/The Sun, if News Corporation's internal investigations unit had provided the information to the Police's Operation Elvedon relating to alleged payments to police in the first place ?

what would you like them to do mr staggers? hang them high just for being reporters of the sun?
shoot them at dawn for daring to even work for the paper?
or maybe the evidence is flimsy?
or maybe the majority of peeple reely dont give a damn?
three pages and nearly nothing. read from that what you will!
Hold on here star...are you saying paying a Police Officer for information, that is classified, is accpetable and not illegal !! Most would call it bribery. As with phone tapping, this sort of illegal action has to be stamped out, and the full force of the law should fall any journalist from any paper, that has been found to be paying for what obviously was classified information.

obviously dean if and that is the word here, if these offenses have happened then sure the law will act upon it. but let us for a minute not find them guilty quite yet eh? they will have to be interviewed and then charged. then a possible trial and then and only then onconviction, a just punishment.
let us not convict just because they happened to have worked for a newspaper that we all know is hated on this forum. patience my dear dean, patience wink

Star,
given the above and that it's News Corporation's internal investigations unit that has passed on the relevat information to the Police for them to act, then certainly think a high probability of guilt exists - afterall don't for one moment think the 4 arrested paid Police for information out of their own pockets and the internal investigations unit have simply looked at submitted expenses.
Look forward to 'developments' over this and with the other 10 arrests

I think bribery is a completely separate offence. This can only be classed as corruption.

The evidence was damning though, it was just the prosecution failed in their ability to prove it. Though once the case became civil and a media blackout ensued he was found "guilty" of causing wrongful death and ordered to pay the families 33.5 million dollars for their loss.
With regards to this new case, it will be interesting to see how deep the corruption goes I think there will be a lot more Police Officers taking early retirement...

I would star have liked the press to report what was happening
Given that Rebecca Wade has already admitted to the commons committee that police officers were paid for information,'flimsy' isn't the word I'd have chosen
Whether or not the majority of people give a damn or not the question of corruption within our police force is not an insignificant one.
Yes three pages and only one report in the British press 24 hours after the events,one does wonder at the significance
corruption in our police force has been there since the days of Robert Peel.
it is not right of course but sometimes to catch a criminal you have to match there criminal acts and there thoughts.
Sprat to catch a mackerel springs to mind here.
we have a huge police force throughout the uk and a tiny minority of coppers commit an offense. of course one bad copper is not good but show me a profession where every single member is honest.
the police are there to protect and to serve, and for 99% of them, that is excactly what they do.
if they have done wrong then the courts and a judge will decide. not a bunch of peeple on a swingers site.:notes:

The corruption we are talking about has nothing to do with catching criminals...it is selling information to the press,and therefore endangering any prosecution.
Are you suggesting that to catch a serial killer the police should go out and commit a few murders???A strange position for such a paragon of moral rectitude to take

Check the dates on the articles Staggers. It was all over the BBC on the day the news broke. Seems to me it has been reported by most of the newspapers.

If it was Kelvin McKenzie, then yes.

Rogue,
Why bother paying dunno
pretty sure enough would be donated free as it's a good cause and the no doubted extra ones can be considered for those who 'managed' them, encouraged them, facilitated them by signing off 'expenses' etc. and generally profited from their so called scoops.
