robbojambo Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 i think that if you have the time and can be bothered, you should sue them for all the time and money that you have wasted in going to court 4 times, to be completely given a not guilty, after all they would be quick enough to get you done if you wasted police time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Congratulations mate. Now what you need to do is put in a full written complaint about the officers who lied and see what happens. Its about time that some of those tossers over in the weeg got what's been coming to them. Surprised they went to court without the second cop willing to corroborate the story of the first. What a waste of taxpayers' money... Strathclyde Police are a strange lot. I remember I was driving in Glasgow at about 9.20am. It was gloomy but effectively daylight. Nevertheless I had my sidelights on for safety. Went past a police car and saw in the rear view mirror them running and jumping into the car like Starsky and Hutch. Came after me through the city centre with blues and twos on. Pulled me over. Took me into the back of their car. Turned out the bulb had gone on one of my rear lights! Unbelievable! so I took the policeman and his partner's details while they took mine. I got the light fixed and a mechanic to sign the necessary form, took my papers into a police station with a letter to the Chief Constable saying that, with CID just having been done for lying in court, it was not great for public confidence for officers to drive at high risk thru the city centre over a broken bulb. The reply was full of spelling mistakes with a blase "having spoken to the officers I am satisfied they were doing their jobs". I had acknowledged that they were in my letter but that they were just ridiculously over-officious in doing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbojambo Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Well done Stevie, glad you got the verdict I'm sure you deserved. Don't see what he could claim under. Expenses are paid for time on court and if the fiscal believes the evidence given to them by police is sufficient then they are duty bound to bring it before a judge (Sheriff court I presume?). If Steve had been discriminated against because of his case then it is the people who discriminated against him he would have a claim against because he had been found not guilty and has committed no offence in the eyes of the law. might be wrong, but i am pretty sure expenses are only paid to witnessess and not defendents in criminal cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a pair of numpties who couldnt even get their lies right.;) It's illegal, so far as I know. Police officers must write up their notes at the time of the incident and independent of one another. I remember this because I did jury service in Edinburgh over 20 years ago where a defence brief had a field day with police officers who were obviously lying under oath. Because thier statements were almost verbatim . I can't understand why in this case , police witnesses didn't appear but the case wasn't thrown out. But if that is true , I'd think a civil claim would be a formality for damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonheid Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 For my sins, i am a born and bred Glaswegian Jambo. My and a mate went to a boring 0-0 draw at Ibrox about 10 years ago. We were about 19 at the time and full of tennent and aftershock. We were wrecked and went for a pish at half time, the next thing i knew we had both been huckled from the toilet and marched to the cells. No explantion from the wonderful Glasgow police! We were released from Govan station later that night after a singsong in the cells. I thought that would be the end of that. A month later i recieved a letter from the fuzz informing me i had been charged for 'trying to incite a riot'? I supposedly achieved this by running towards the huns shouting 'ya ****ing weegie barstewards'. I went to court about 5 times waiting for the police to turn up in my lovely new suit surrounded by the **** of glasgow who can just about manage to put on thier kappa tracksuit and burberry cap to attend court. When the police did turn up their stories were completely different apart from the fact the when quizzed by my layer they were both 100% sure that i had a broad Edinburgh accent. I managed to get one sentence out when i was on the stand and the judge heard my local tounge, and called and end to the charge and ruled that i was admonished? It was quite clear the police had wrongley arrested me and then lied in court. I never even got an apology. I dont even know what admonised means, any ideas if i will have a criminal record now?

I love the 'tarnish us with teh same brush as Rangers' line of thinking. Why don't they say we are being tarnished with the same brush as Man Utd, Chelsea, Killie or any other British clubs ? This is a football song that has been sung by numerous clubs over the years. I think we sing it better than anyone else. Celtic don't have a problem with people singing it The SFA don't have a problem with people singing it. The SPL don't have a problem with people singing it. The Law doesn't have a problem with people singing it. The only people who have a problem with Hearts fans singing this song with the 'bad' word removed are....................Hearts fans.

It saddens me that it is now banned but players cant even celebrate any more due to the PC brigade getting upset so it doesnt surprise me. I think you're right K, there is a great deal of revisionism with regards to "Hello Hello". I'd say the vast majority were happy to sing one version or another up until the start of 2005-06, it WAS accepted as a mainstream Hearts song. A remix of the tune is even used as the soundtrack to the 5-1 derby DVD and nobody batted an eyelid back then. What changed was UEFA's decision against Rangers fans for singing "the billy boys". People have made a pragmatic change based on, I believe, a false fear that we will be punished for singing it, even with non-sectarian lyrics.

Therapist Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It saddens me that it is now banned but players cant even celebrate any more due to the PC brigade getting upset so it doesnt surprise me. "Hello hello" isn't banned but the sweetie-paper rustlers and PC brigade have deemed it "unacceptable", at Tynecastle at least. This despite the fact they don't know the song's history or words. They don't know why it's "bad", in their mind it just is. The vast majority of them don't even know the meaning of sectarian and bigot. I have to say it cracks me up on here when some of them post the words to Hearts songs, and they get them totally wrong - the Hearts song itself, and the European song, being prime and shameful examples.
