Corrupt police will be jailed for up to 14 years under new laws brought in following investigation into racist murder of Stephen Lawrence




Corrupt police will face up to 14 years in jail under new laws introduced in response to the botched Scotland Yard investigation into the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence.

Ministers said dishonest officers would be subject to ‘the full force of the criminal law’ under the proposals, which carry the same maximum sentence as burglary or importing Class B drugs.

The widely-drawn legislation covers officers who threaten to do something - or not do something - for an ‘improper purpose’.

Crucially, it will also apply to police who fail to act because of a friendship or other relationship with a perpetrator – a key allegation in the Lawrence case.

A review by Mark Ellison QC, published in March, into the Metropolitan Police’s original Stephen Lawrence murder investigation in 1993 found evidence to suspect one of the officers in the inquiry team, DS John Davidson, acted corruptly.

Davidson had a relationship with the gangster father of one of Stephen's killers and deliberately stalled the inquiry, it is alleged.

The new offence will also be seen as a further crackdown on police behaviour in the wake of the Plebgate affair, which led to Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell losing his job after a row with police at the gates of Downing Street in 2012.

Police Minister Damian Green said: ‘Where police officers fall short of the high standards we expect of them, it is right that the full force of the criminal law is available to punish and deter acts of corruption by police officers.

Are you saying he was guilty of something? Apart from being black, that is!

Re the op... police covering up and failing to actively prosecue the Pakistani Muslim child rape gangs should be prosecuted themselves too!!!

Don't forget care workers, politicians, religious leaders, and even when the police did act and get evidence and girls brave enough to speak out, the CPS threw out several cases citing unreliable witnesses.

Prosecute the police in this case and a huge can of worms will be opened....not that it shouldn't be.

You mean spirited old bastard. I really don't know how you can live with yourself with the comments you spew.

I was just thinking that. Tommy went offtopic so fast with his what-about-ery shite.
Pathetic and ludicrous deflection tactics.

Tommy does have a point though. If police are prosecuted for corruption and covering up in one case, there are other cases where they have deliberately stalled, covered up evidence and ignored vital information.

Like I said...a can of worms.

THE WAY that Tommy jumps to the defense of corrupt cops, crooked businesses and perverted Tory and UKIP pollies so quickly,  I wonder if he has,a few such despicable characters among his family and friends ???

Or, maybe that's simply the kind of lowlifes that he best identifies with..    

You're a bit obsessed with Tommy aren't you.

Wolfie, It is wrong to make references to a posters family, stop it.

Yes, you have obsession with Tommy, that is clear.

Policemen being corrupt should face jail and at a hard prison, they are eager to get us for MINOR law infringements.

No... it's about new laws to prosecute corrupt police and subsequently those who are covering up other stuff and failing in doing their correct duty in acting against those who they should be...


Lawrence is just one possible example of where this police failing may be happening and worthy of prosecutions...

When I am less drunk and less tired I will come back and turn off this rinse and repeat cycle that you're on.

Wow. That was easier than I thought to type. I rock at drunk typing

It's worse than that...


A father found out where his daughter was being gang raped by these Pakistani Muslim scum... he went round there to rescue her... and police arrested HIM!!!

Old cases can never be proved TM which is why I love CCTV cameras being everywhere now and there should be even more IMO and
our police carrying cameras as part of their normal equipment as that's just been proved to dramatically reduce the police being accused of violence.
The Camera never lies so far less false accusations!
I just want a safer world for everyone!

It's not actually, or it shouldn't be. I don't know why they need a new law - corrupt police officers are already prosecuted.
