    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for keeping the police as clean as possible. Its just when you have bosses that are highly motivated to roger you over something really pathetic that it sours your whole outlook on the job. You then begin to question why you bother doing what you do, makes you bitter towards the job and ultimately effects the effort an individual cop puts into their work.

    Thats why I usually try to offer the flip side of the story. Sadly most of the nay sayers just think its because I'm blindly following whatever the current police mantra on that particular subject is.

    Refer to some of the recent posts regarding media reporting of police matters. They are unreliable at best and if the police aired all the gory details of every disciplinary matter then the media would have a field day with it.

    Look at the porn gate scandal, when you examined it in detail it was nothing to make news over. Around 300 staff had objectionable material in their e-mail accounts. As I recall only 6 had material that would result in some sort of disciplinary action other than the mandatory counseling session that all those involved were required to attend. The police management screwed up by going public with it and the media scoffed it up like hungry hogs. If the result of an internal investigation meant that 6 staff members were charged over the incident the media wouldn't have had the opportunity to colour the entire police organisation as porn watching perverts the way they did.

    Consequently the police need to be very carefull with the information made available to the media and the media is the publics main source of information in relation to police matters.

    Well spud the effort an individual cop puts into their work is up to themselves and a dickhead nitpicking boss is fucking hard to handle in any job.

    But then, when the media do get the full story it looks like a cover up.

    But can you actually name one that is anywhere close? Democracy is everyone agreeing to do what the leader wants
