many many years ago I worked in the original Covent Garden market in London , one particular warehouse had a very large basement area ,where you could go in and either buy or order any items of your desires that had been stolen or shoplifted in London from designer shirts up to t.v's ,cameras etc if you had the means to pay you could have it ..
now this particular warehouse was virtually opposite bow street magistrates court and police station and the majority the buyers consisted of solicitors ,judges, policemen at all levels as well as us workers in the market . it was quiet a open secret I believe that even a few members of h.m government were also clients .
and if you think back long enough you will remember that a certain gang of train robbers had a florist among its members ever wonder where he met that bent brief ??? what I'm trying to point out is that the police, truth,honesty etc have always been a mixed bag of metaphors ...
yes there are 100% honest coppers but as in all aspects of society there will always be those that bend the rules or as is possible in this case phrase things wrongly . . 20 years ago it would have been a case of I never said that .. let it go .. s*** 'appens
