Rubbish Rutland and Leicestershire Police

Thank you for your comment.  You may be interested to know Mr Hibbert lied he was not a police officer he was working as a civilian as a retired police officer.

Helen Pender said...


Martin Brookes was arrested yesterday. Why?



He'd put three documents in a Council noticeboard outside Victoria Hall. These were:



1. a piece of hate mail offering whomever assaulted Martin £25.00 for doing so.



2. another piece of hate mail saying Martin was 'Unwanted.'



3. Two offensive pictures of bare men's rear ends - in raw graphic detail - one

with a carrot stuck up it. This was published using my identity and purporting

to be me. It was not. I asked the police to furnish me with the IP Address,

they presumably deemed the offensive material sufficiently inoffensive not to

investigate.



We had both complained to the police separately about these documents which we had not published ourselves. I felt the photographs were offensive but there was nothing I could do, bar ask for information of the Council under the Freedom of Information Act to try to get to the bottom of who had published these photographs in my name. I asked for the IP address of the person who posted this offensive material and was told that the material was not sufficiently offensive to pursue the complaint.



Illogically, having failed to investigate or prosecute the police arrested Martin yesterday for placing the very same information they had refused to act on in a Council noticeboard, saying the material was now offensive.



Go figure.



Martin was taken to Keyham police station, fingerprinted, his DNA taken and bailed to appear on 3 June 2010.



Sorry folks you can't say the material is inoffensive and refuse to investigate who the perpetrators are and then say it is offensive and arrest Martin for putting the very same material in a Council noticeboard.



I think that's called having your cake and eating it.





This is what has been reported online in the Rutland and Stamford Mercury. I sincerely hope that they are able to publish an pology next week. I trust the police will also issue an apology:



Date: 07 May 2010



A MAN has been bailed by police after he was arrested in Oakham on suspicion of causing criminal damage and displaying offensive images in a public place.



Police were notified that the lock on the noticeboard outside the town hall in High Street had been broken and pornographic images had been placed inside yesterday.



A man was arrested at the scene.



Rutland police commander Johnny Monks said: "It's not nice if people use a public noticeboard to display offensive picture and I won't tolerate it.



"We have laws to be preserved."



The man has been bailed pending further inquiries

FACTS



1. I reported the so called offensive material personally to Johnny Monks - he was not so outraged as to pursue my complaint. It was posted in my name by someone purporting to be me. The so called offensive material was tolerated by Inspector Monks when it was online and sent to Martin Brookes. Why the double standards?



2. So far as I know no criminal damage was caused to the public noticeboard. The man was a local Councillor fed up with the bullying and victimisation he has faced at the hands of Council members. He regularly posts Council notices in the noticeboard in the same way he posted this so called offensive material.



Yes I found the material offensive but the police clearly did not until yesterday. I had delivered the material to the police twice and received no further communication from them nor any assurance that my complaint would be given serious consideration. I then let Council members have a copy so as to give them some evidence of why I was asking for all references to me on Council computers.



This is an outrageous dissemination of half truths on behalf of both the police and their press mouthpiece, whom I suspect is that troublemaker and bored housewife – could it be Cllr J L?
