A policewoman with the rank of Chief Inspector based in Nottingham has been bailed following shoplifting charges. It is alleged that she stole make up from Tescos. Should she have been suspended?.|||Yes she should be suspended. It's obvious that there is evidence against her. By taking no action it's as if the Police ar saying that it's ok to steal from a store if you are a Police Officer. She has abused her position and should go never mind be suspended.|||Its a terrible message but to be honest I don't find it surprising. I too often witness the police breaking the law and getting away with it. If you dared to report them doing what I often see; driving through red lights, speeding then the force will just take their side as would a court which I find ridiculous. They should be subject to the same laws as everyone else and if there is any justice this Chief Inspector will be treated the same as any other offender.|||Not only should she be suspended, but she should be sacked. Given her position, she needs to be beyond reproach, and obviously she is not. When the leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg recently pointed out the huge numbers of currently serving UK police officers who have picked up criminal convictions during their careers (including some extremely serious ones like supplying drugs, fraud, theft, forgery, intimidation and perjury), but somehow still kept their jobs, the leader of ACPO accused him of being a bit fussy and picky and trying to discredit the police.
We live in a country where police men (or women) can lie in court to get a conviction, intimidate witnesses and defendants, and even murder suspects like those who shot Jean Charles de Menezes, yet little is done about it. If someone said these things were happening in Iran or Zimbabwe we would be up in arms.
It is indeed legal to dsmiss someone merely on suspicion. If a worker is suspected of stealing from their employers for example, to dismiss that employee is perfectly permissable, as the professional relationship is damaged.|||Police officers are not human and come from outer space! Now that I have got you to disagree with me on that you will be saying they are human. That being the case we have people who have problems with stress and behave in irrational ways. This could be one such case? Until this question was asked I did not know about her but it seems a big bit harsh and probably those who are asking for her to be sacked have done worse things in their life but of course that is why we have the term "double standards".
If she is not sick she needs to be treated like any other person. If every other person who breaks the law loses their job then ok, sack her. If every other person gets sentenced and pays the penalty but keeps their job then why treat her differently. Oh I forgot it's the double standard people who are wanting her sacked.|||Whilst I am silly enough to believe in innocent until proved guilty she should have been suspended at least but that's the police service nowadays for you. No doubt she will be supplied with a top lawyer and the Chief Constable will turn up in court to say what an outstanding officer she is. Sadly these days it's all predictable.|||I haven't read or seen the full circumstances of this story and I wouldn't condone what this officer may have done.
IF she is found guilty then she would more than likely be sacked.
It is interesting though to see how many people are happy to have this person sacked when they are only suspected of shop theft.
I wonder if people would be so quick to judge if it was them who was under suspicion...|||even police officers are innocent till proved guilty
she will be suspended but you can not sack any-one for being accused|||It's giving an accurate message: That cops must never be trusted.
It should be fired, jailed %26amp; fined; none of that will happen, cops are above the law.|||She has been accused only. What happened to innocent until proved guilty? Just let the system follow it course. Now if she is found guilty then she should be fired.|||Maybe she needs a pay increase since she cant afford makeup|||they will blame it on her hormonesand give her a 12 month paid holiday
