Hi GB
Sorry to hear of your frustration the police really are full of BS aren't they. They will say or do anything to justify their actions they are a law unto themselves.
If you still feel strongly I would put a complaint in via the IPCC, you are supposed to do it via the professional standards department of your investigating force but I was advised by an ex copper to do it via the IPCC website first, they then pass it back but at least it is logged by the IPCC. Also copy in your MP into all correspondence.
I phoned my local police to ask them to come out as we want to pursue my daughter for her false claims, however they didn't want to know and said it was a matter for the investigating force. I phoned them and they tried to fob me off and send me back to the local force. In the end they said it was a matter for the investigating officer and they would get her to contact me, I stated I had no faith in her competence as she had forwarded it to the CPS and was therefore not going to admit that she had made an error. Also I didn't think it appropriate as I recently lodged a complaint with IPCC regarding her conduct.
The thick as two short planks call handler obviously didn't take note and less than an hour later I received a call from the IO, a woman I had last seen in the foyer of the police station hoiking up her pants and chewing gum like some overgrown school kid as I waited terrified for my husband to be interviewed.
To say this woman is full of self importance and ego is an understatement, but for the next 18mins 41 seconds I told her exactly what I thought of her and her "investigation" I didn't raise my voice or swear and she just had to take it. She gave me the old police procedures waffle and that I wasn't a police officer so I couldn't possibly know what I was talking about and I stated that I could never be a police officer as I have principles and morals !
I realise that a complaint will go nowhere and this was probably the most satisfaction I will get, but I did enjoy it.
