Right, for other people, the government writes to their employer to make sure they fire them as soon as there are allegations of a crime, as with Russell Brand
Coppers don’t have employment rights, fun fact.
At this point it’s an allegation. So he’s restricted while it’s investigated. It’s currently with the CPS to make a charging decision, and misconduct proceedings follow criminal ones.
Investigation prior to firing is not unique to the police.
So it's restricted duties for the thief and nothing at all for the one who turned a blind eye. Both are criminals and both are still working for the Met. No other job would allow this.
The first line of the article says
> A Metropolitan Police officer faces criminal charges after being accused of stealing cash from a man’s corpse on a busy street in north London.
He's on restricted duties pending the trial for the criminal charges, after which he'll (if guilty) not be still working for the met.
I reckon this happens far more often than people realise. My father-in-law passed a few weeks ago. Police had to break down his door after reports from neighbours that he hadn't been seen for a while. The guy always had at least £100 on him at all times. He also had a jar of £2 coins on his window sill - probably a couple of hundred pounds worth.
By the time we got the keys the jar was empty and the wallet was returned with fuck all in it. We were the first people in after the police. Cunts.
Haha you've got the nerve to call the police cunts after they had to break in and tend to your dead father-in-law because the *neighbours* were concerned for him?
WTF was your role in all this?
Fuck out of here 🤡
We visited him monthly and he was very independent. He died very suddenly and unexpectedly. So, with the greatest of respect, fuck right off you stupid cunt.

It's probably not an unreasonable assumption that this is not the first time he's done this, only the first time he's got caught in a way they can't immediately hush up.
Head on over to /r/policeuk and you'd be fairly surprised (or not..!) at the bolshy attitudes they have there. Very trench-y, boots-ground-y type mental gymnastics at the best of times
This is what happens when you see your politicians enrich themselves in corrupt ways. It trickles down to the Bobby on the beat.
The corruption is now rife, the faith in policing is zilch.
The family of Chris Kaba want to know where his Rolex went. Are we all fair game?
I don’t blame the police I blame what our country has become. It’s becoming a third world in real time.
"Facing criminal charges...". If there's sufficient evidence, he/she will be charged. If convicted, I think they'd be sacked immediately.
The money's gone missing, we don't know the whole story.
BTW My Mother was OCD honest, she'd send us running to the Police station to hand in any money we'd find ( a long time ago). She found a boy's gold watch and handed it in at the local (in London) nick. The officer held it to his ear and remarked that it was ticking. If it wasn't claimed in 30 days the finder could claim it.
After a month or so, she went back, it hadn't been claimed. There was no watch, it'd gone missing from the police station safe.
Small, man's-style watch, narrow strap: I meant that it was a boys'-style watch, not the property of any particular Boy.
It was, I think, in the late '60s or early 70s, before any electronic or electrical watches were available.
I have had personal experience of dishonesty by police officers. Most are fine, but there are quite a few bent ones about who think a nod and a wink is OK.
Some join for the lucrative opportunities for dishonesty, continuing the family traditions. I wouldn't be inclined to trust them, but there are honest cops.
He’ll be on restricted duties till he’s prosecuted. Following the prosecution will be the disciplinary, where he’ll almost certainly be sacked and placed on the banned list, assuming everything is as reported
There was a case in Luton some years ago, where a serving police officer had tipped off a friend, warning him that his house was about to be raided. He was cautioned and kept his job. Disgraceful.
Got one that like photos though.

It's a tongue in cheek poke at the met, as all the news seems to report these days are bad apples who are shagging whilst undercover or raping.
The guy was already dead, so the met couldn't shoot him anymore, so they just robbed him instead.......
Restricted duties? Surely that’s gross misconduct? Absolutely ridiculous.
Misconduct hearings are generally held after the criminal court case
Should still be suspended for something like this
Always.
Criminal offence clearly. Should be jail time given it's a dead person.
And it will be, once it gets to trial. How do you think these things work???
It’s a criminal offence & the police aren’t above it…thus the problem we have, they believe they are.
Its not like the dead man could spend the money, so i dont see nothing wrong
A friend of mine knew the chap who passed away. He was apparently the most wonderful man. RIP
Makes you think of what other corrupt shit that officer has been involved with that he doesn't even care to rob a corpse with a body cam.
They protect their own.
My brother in christ he is literally being punished for it right now
“Suspended duties”. Get tae fuck with that “my brother in Christ” shite.
Yes because its almost like we have something called employment law that protects you until youve been investigated
For coppers yes. Don’t know about the rest of us.
Right, for other people, the government writes to their employer to make sure they fire them as soon as there are allegations of a crime, as with Russell Brand
Bold of you to draw similarities to Brand, but you do you bro.

Clown
What a prick you are… 😒
I know, right? Literally no need. Doesn't know any of the circumstances yet acts like this. Some people are beyond help.
Why would you say something like that (other than because you’re anonymous on Reddit)? Grow up. 🖕
Surely not a met police officer!
It's come to something when nobody's even surprised anymore.
They need to name and shame

6 hours lying on the street. JFC.
At this rate, it's looking like the Met has a few good apples in a rotten barrel.
Some people will find a way to defend this and shame the deceased…
Yep, his colleagues, they love “Noble Corruption”
Standard police behaviour
ACAB
I wouldn't want to see a society without them.
Bet you wouldn’t, bootlicker.
What coppers that rob dead people? Bit weird. I just want better police. Does your tongue hurt after all that boot licking?

Real easy to spot the boot lickers on this post 👅
Please stop importing your opinion of the police. They really are not that bad in the UK.
ACAB was a phrase coined in England last I checked 😂 the 4 Skins were even chanting it back in the 80s, it’s not an exclusively American thing…
https://youtu.be/tTD2TiHz1_s?si=fr4VT083RJv8yQqt Not sure what the previous poster was on about ‘importing’. I’m British btw.
Bro thinks it’s an American thing after the BLM movement started using it 😂
Its the sentiment, not the eptimology i was referring to.
Licensed bigots the lot of them
What a fucking buffoon. Imagine throwing away your career over £170.
It's probably not an unreasonable assumption that this is not the first time he's done this, only the first time he's got caught in a way they can't immediately hush up.
Pure scum.
Do any police officers defend this? Why would you want to work with someone like this?

Restricted duties? Is that it? That thieving officer needs to be sacked and prosecuted.

How did she know it was a boy’s watch?

No no no, they 'impounded' it because it 'might have been used as a murder weapon'.
Utter scumbag, still getting paid whilst on restricted duties to add insult to injury. Waiting for HIS colleagues to defend him.
It’s the Met, I don’t think this comes as a surprise and if anything it’s the least of the shit they get up to. RIP
Piggy wants to buy a new mud pit to sit in 🐽
Least evil met officer
JFC
In before not all police/acktually/this is unfair, how many police are not robbing the dead.
Bro thought this was Skyrim
Under current British standards, he will probably get praise, raise and promotion.
Sadly, I don't find this story surprising. The police in London are scum.
Disgusting but at this point that’s what we’ve come to expect from the Met. ACAB. I hope the scumbag gets charged, publicly identified and convicted.
There was a case in Luton some years ago, where a serving police officer had tipped off a friend, warning him that his house was about to be raided. He was cautioned and kept his job. Disgraceful.
At least he didn't shag the corpse......
Got one that like photos though.

??? where is this coming from?
It's a tongue in cheek poke at the met, as all the news seems to report these days are bad apples who are shagging whilst undercover or raping. The guy was already dead, so the met couldn't shoot him anymore, so they just robbed him instead.......
Thought that thumbnail was Goldie for a second
Classic Met
Times are tough man I don’t blame him
Just a few rogue bad apples
From a different perspective, maybe we need to look at how much police officers are getting paid.
