A private conversation between 4 policemen, recorded to snare one of them (who apparently is crooked) successfully.

However, one of the men referred to a career criminal as 'pondlife', and now faces discipliniary procedures, possibly even the sack - because the criminial may have been offended, if he had heard the conversation which of course he couldn't!

Next they'll be asking people "Oh would you mind please sir if we arrested you, I wouldn't want to offend you by just doing it?"

:eek:

Y'know a lot of people here chuck around the phrase "it's political correctness gone madddddd!". This is the first incident I've heard of that I feel actually qualifies.

The other officers are accused of also using “inappropriate language” in private conversations.

Fuck me, Big Brother (1984) is alive and well.

It's fucking disgusting, who the fuck has the right to say what people can and can't say in private conversations, regardless of the line of work they have chosen.

I'm sure you could find 100 examples that you felt fit the bill, the problem is most of the time I've read people moan about PC gone madness I tend to have a different opinion.

I don't see that as PCness gone mad per-se - but it is absurd.

Obviously these idiots don't quite understand what a private conversation is.

If I want to call anyone a **** in private I bloody will and there is not a damn thing anyone can do (as long as im not breaking the law at the time :p)

political correctness aside and that is entirely insane, the police are all utter ***** so i can't say it surprises me at all.

I must admit I don't have a lot of respect for the police; some of them are rude, abrupt and ... arseholes basically.

I suppose it's the same in any line of work.

Its fucking madness , and theres 100's of examples. How about the white woman who trained for years to join the old bill, did cadets and everything, who gets told shes got to wait for 2 years because they're only taking policewoman of asian origin at the moment, sorry.
You're having a fucking laugh :(
