You are spot on.Arrogance also plays a major part in their decision making.

Cops don't care if the people they convict are actually guilty. A conviction is a conviction, and it shows up as a gold star on their record.

True, but even more true for prosectors.

/s is "sideways" HTML; it means the sarcasm was switched back off at the end of the statement.

I seem to recall that sawed-off shotgun thing to. But I think it was in England as well.

Paul Clarke, 2009.

He was found guilty and given a 1 yr suspended sentence. The case caused anger here because the prosecution and judge chose to follow the strict letter of the law. Instead of actual Home Office guidelines which state that no civilian who tries to hand it in should be considered having ‘possessed’ the weapon.

The problem was that Clarke rather stupidly didnt call the police straight away, but set up a later meeting with a policeman he knew THEN handed it over. Therefore he was deemed to have ‘possessed’ the weapon and failed to immediately hand the weapon over to police.

My point is that I think I know what case he is talking about, and he’s remembering it wrongly and also doesn’t seem to be aware of all the facts. The man was not given a three year sentence, but a one year suspended sentence and if it hadn’t already been a convicted criminal who held onto the gun for a few days before handing it into police in a way that seemed deliberately designed to cause problems (telling a senior police officer he had a grudge against, “I have something for you” and pulling the weapon out suddenly - in America, where police are armed, I think he’d have had a good chance of getting shot with a stunt like that) he probably wouldn’t have been charged with anything at all.
