faust ....no i never put a complaint in,nor was i complaining. i thought what was the point, i knew i would be called a liar and coming out with claims of brutality and planted evidence would just lose me more credibility in the courtroom. he was hardly going to admit it was he?
seeing the documents taken out my pocket and thrown into the car rattled me i knew i was fucked that very second, laid on the floor handcuffed behind my back. been kicked about dont hurt when your charged full of adrenalin like i was, i never screamed grunted moaned or did anything until the other cops dragged him off, whereupon i turned with a smile and said waited till i was handcuffed before having a go eh? nothing worse than a bad cop.
i punched him man on man. he kicked me repeatedly when i was trussed like a pig, unable to defend myself, and by that time causing no problems, they had the situation well under control.
i said nothing in interview, i gave my version of events in court, omitting the kicking, and the documents.
i was crossexamined, and what i had not said was mentioned. i was asked why i never said anything, i said you dont believe anything i say already, why should i make myself further discredited by throwing what you will call wild accusations about? he was removed from the courtroom by the judge sometime during this part, i was more concentrating on what the wigs was saying to each other about an inquiry been pursued regarding this case.
i knew nothing of the cctv camera evidence, nor did i know other officers mustve mentioned his behaviour in their reports, until the cps was relaying this information to the judge regarding another case ( which could only have been him) and "immediate suspension from work" and court date was been discussed.
and i was warned about refusing to answer questions about been kicked, so i just said i didnt see who kicked me, i was face down in handcuffs on the ground. i said also i didnt even know if i was been kicked, or hit with asps, i couldnt see.
i was warned i may have to appear at another court and would be regarded as a "hostile witness" if i refused. i refused. soon as i was out them doors theyd never find me again to go back as witness :lol:
i was found guilty of course, you have a "no defence" law for assaulting a cop in the uk. it means your guilty no matter what.
he dug his own grave, his mates put him in it, with no help from me, irony eh
