24 Hours in Police Custody (10 Viewers)

[Otis]

That was hard to watch but interesting to hear the comments of the police on what a drain the vigilantes are on their resources and how their actions can lead to cases being thrown out of court.

The sentences those two got seemed way too low to me. The older guy seemed like he might not be all there but obviously with the seriousness of the crimes they focused on the younger guy. With what they were describing I can't see any way the sentence is even close to correct.

Was more concerned with the younger bloke. The older guy got 2 years in prison, but the younger bloke got a suspended sentence, despite the fact he was complicit in a father raping his own son, through his encouragment for the father to carry out the act.

For me he should have got the much more severe sentence.

Seems like the older bloke was grooming, but that no sexual offence had actually taken place.

Should have been 4 or 5 years for the old guy and 10 years for the younger bloke.

Could tell as soon as they went in his house he was a wrong un. The fact he didn't get any sort of jail time shows why vigilantes exist.

It was a hard one to watch last night. It was scary how many turned up so quickly to confront the older bloke in the car park.

 

[Nick]

My wife nearly puked her dinner up when they were interviewing the younger one.

What I don't get is that the older one had moved down from somewhere to get away from abuse but he was straight trying to meet a 13 year old girl in Luton.

The other worrying thing was the kids destroying his car and calling him a dirty c**t. They were no older than 10.

I wouldn't want my daughter near anything to do with it and definitely not saying that word

New series tonight and it starts with an extended episode so would guess its something more than a run of the mill case.

 

[Nick]

Got it set to record but will probably watch it. Hope it's an interesting one!

 

[Bumberclart]

2 rape cases tonight. Very interesting.

 

[Nick]

Don't like giving too much away until people have watched it, the younger one was obvious the way they would "defend" him as soon as they got to the police station.

I missed a couple of bits in that program. How did they catch the bloke for the 2 old cases? I assume it was DNA, but what led the police to him? Similarly, it was (I think) DNA that led the police to the young bloke who, as I understand it, had never been in trouble before. So why did the police have his DNA on file?

They did random testing on people who matched the description in that area and found the young lad.

When they did testing for a domestic incident years later they found the taxi driver

I think anyway, I missed a couple of bits too!

 

[chiefdave]

This is unbelievable tonight. Crazy stuff.

 

[Nick]

Started off a bit cringe worthy but soon grew. Sentences a joke really

 

[Nick]

Watching last week's with the stabbings. Madness

Absolute pussies

 

[Nick]

The gimpy white boys getting arrested "I'd slap you bruv". Drag him round the back and kick 10 bags of shit out the prick

One of them looked absolutely amazed when they said he was being charged with murder. What did he think was going to happen?

The one who was stabbing him, giving it loads to the police. No respect or worries about killing somebody.

Its sickening

Terrible cctv stuff. What’s wrong with them

Ferral, they need putting down at birth

 

[bringbackrattles]

The one tonight was about a big time Scouser drug dealer. Guilty as Hell but gave it the no comment all the time. Ended up with a soft sentence. The bloke was 54 but a copper who was ironically his cousin said he'll always be at it.

Do you believe that? From birth you can tell?

 

[Nick]

Some you can based on parents

Can you imagine the people stabbing on that episode and their kids?

The copper had no idea about the case. Both him and his lawyer knew from the off.

I need to stop watching the bit where they tell you the sentences.

Imported £2.5m of drugs, been jailed for it before yet only got 25 months, will be out i a year.

I once got 2 years for a pub brawl. My solicitor said I'd get probation !

Should have imported drugs, you'd be able to buy the club off SISU by now.

What’s the no comment nonsense??

They are told to by their lawyers

It’s a moral not a legal thing though isn’t it?

 

[bringbackrattles]

This no comment thing. Years ago if you said nothing in a police interview, that meant you were guilty. This is a fairly new concept I think ? Myself I just went guilty straight away as I was ! What's the point of stretching it out, but I was of the mindset if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Watched the rape one last night. Can’t trust anyone. What a couple of wankers

Tbh they couldn't pin all 2.5m on him only the draw which was 400k I think. The programme missed a lot of relevant detail I thought.

Fucking hell, that's harsh.
Bloke I worked with got done for having 800 images of kids on his computer. Half of them were category A.
Didn't even get sent down. He got 4 months suspended for 2 years, and some community service. Cretin.

The no comment thing does my head in, how the police sit there and take it I don't know.

Should be illegal to just sit there and no comment everything, or be taken as an admission of guilt.

It appears it was in those cases

Hmm. Someone I knew got two and a half years for a similar crime. Am guessing the images found were rather worse than he made out...
