From 11.5 years of experience i have never ever known an innocent person get convicted of anything. I have also met hundreds , no make that probably thousands of people who have been working themselves and have claimed to be sober despite it being obvious to everyone that there mortal drunk.
the most laughable thing you've said, either since you rejoined or before you were banned previously. You obviously have not read a newspaper or seen a news bulletin in the last 12 years
guildford 4, birmingham 6, bridgewater 4, sally clark, angela cannings, colin stagg, stefan kiszko, andrew adams and many others who's lives and families lives were permanently ruined, and spent many years in the chokey because the police LIED and FALSIFIED EVIDENCE
and thats just the high profile ones that imediately spring to mind
John Charles De Menezes wasn't quite so lucky, some trigger happy cops just shot him in the head a few times and then lied
as for the drunk bit, I don't know why they don't just have the words "his eyes were glazed, his breath smelt of alcohol - he was drunk' pre printed on the charge sheet
piece of **** to wave that particular charge around, it would take 30 seconds to breathalise them in the charge room and establish it as FACT ie THE TRUTH
but that would be way too easy, and good forbid, raise the possibility that an easy cop out for a conviction is no longer available, and justification for an arrest
20 years ago some nob had a pop at me in the toon one night, I'd just got off the train from london and was waiting for a taxi, so defending myself I ended up sticking one on him - and what do you know 10 mins later I'm in market street charged with 'drunk and disorderley'
'his eyes were glazed, his breath smelt etc etc etc'
gets to court, cps plonkers says 'this is a simple matter of D&D, and would request calls for witness statements be denied'
bish bash bosh have a 50 quid fine young man
