I'm still baffled as to why it's 'backwards'.
Because the police put more effort into prosecuting the dad who got the CCTV footage rather than the guy who battered his son.

The guy went himself and got CCTV footage from a bar and it led to a conviction. He got in trouble for doing it. Crazy

The way the father got the CCTV footage may have contravened the law about who has the right to obtain CCTV images from a third party.

I have, but the police don't seem to have "a set of special skills" or if they do, are reluctant to use them.Have you not seen the film 'Taken'?
Will the towie people be playing at Valderrama too?How very "towie'
He got told off. Shocking. Is he ok now?The office got told off for interfering, so simple case of plod didn't like being shown up - end of.
Like what?he was damn lucky that that's all they did. I'm sure they would have thrown a lot more at him
Sure you can adjust the analogy so that it suits Ian H's post. But it is only that post, and absolutely nothing else that caused you to adjust the analogy.Now lets adjust the analogy.
A doctor is treating a patient in a hospital
Another doctor sees that the first doctor isn't really bothering with the patient, and he's getting worse, so the second doctor steps in and helps the patient get better.
The first doctor then gets annoyed because he'd been shown to be incompetent , so complains to the hospital board, who regrettably back him up because the protocols are more important than getting the patient better.
Again, you comment is based purely and simply on another poster's interpretation of events:But I'll agree with the second one, because that's got nothing to do with the police not bothering to do their job properly, and lying to cover the act that they obviously couldn't be bothered to investigate the case.
There was an ex copper on tv the other night.
His son was attacked in Manchester City centre and the police said they had investigated but found no evidence.
The guy went himself and got CCTV footage from a bar and it led to a conviction. He got in trouble for doing it. Crazy.
Occasionally it may appear to contravene common sense, but the etiquette must survive to avoid ridiculous situations in the future.
It is professional etiquette. You agree to abide by the rules of your profession, or leave the profession.Etiquette trumps common sense.
Where's the common sense in that?
