why is it policemen in the uk can never be prosecuted for any crime, is it because they are all freemasons?

Policemen can definitely be prosecuted for crimes, particulary if they commit them off duty. While on duty they have certain immunities, because they are acting under color of authority. That does not allow them to do whatever they want. If they violate people's rights, they can still be prosecuted.

no, but then the police get away with a lot of things they shouldn't. There are good cops and bad cops!

Firstly, sorry to read about your two boys. \n\nASBOs are a great idea on paper but in practice they are just not working. How can they be EFFECTIVELY enforced without a high police presence, which incidentally if there had been in the first place would likely have stopped the problems anyway. The way they are handed out at the drop of a hat at the momment is just appalling and far from stigmatising an offender is a badge of honour to those who actually deserve them, and a punishment that has a lasting effect on those that don't.

The monarch is not susceptible to prosecution for offences either created by statute or of the common law, so no

White collar theft , especially against the crown is considered  too high a crime in my books. I mean why didn't Prescott go to jail when he didn't pay his council tax? As for road deaths the law is being changed and not soon enough.

As a Mason and a Minister of the Gospel I feel that the problem is the secrecy of the organazation. Often times when people don't understand something they have a fear of it. It should be known that this country, America, was founded by Masons and that a vast majority of our leaders have been members of the Masonic order. It is a Fraternity, not a religion.

Hello\n\nI don't think the real reason was the England top. Its just an excuse, or the igniter. Most probable reason for such a criminal action is the lack of education, love and respect  from the offender. What an ignorant.\n\nI'm with you.

Little tough to understand exactly what you're asking here.\n\nCan someone, working for the police or not, break the law?  Of course they can.  \n\nAre certain people expected *not* to break the law?  Sure.  And informants are one of those people.  I worked in a narcotics task force for three years and worked with plenty of informants.  Did we tell them they weren't supposed to break the law?  Of course we did.  Did they turn right around and break the law anyway?  I imagine so...most of them are addicts or thieves or just plain crooks and have been most of their lives, why would they suddenly stop just because they've signed on with the home team to become a policeman's helper?\n\nI don't know of any laws on this subject per se...ours was a policy issue; we told the informant to quit screwing up.  Certainly Virginia might have a law on that subject but it seems to me (based on 19 years of policing) that it would be awfully difficult to enforce.  \n\nI'd love to know what makes you ask this question.

A serious question deserves a serious answer. \n\nFirst of all, a  Criminal Justice System (abbreviated to CJS) is not a unified single entity.  It is a system.  That is it is a collection of independent bodies and organisations working together to achieve criminal justice.  For example, in England and Wales the CJS would include the Police Services,  Forensic Scientists, the Criminal Prosecution Service,  the Probation Service, the courts, barristers and the Prison Service.\n\nThere are several CJSs in the UK.  First there is the CJS for England and Wales.  Scotland has its own legal system and exercises an Independence from E&W so can be said to have its own CJS. Likewise N Ireland.  \n\nThe UK is part of the British Isles.  If you had asked about British CJSs then you have to include the autonomous regions such as the Isle of Man,  Jersey and Guernsey.

It's interesting that in the U.K., defending oneself against a violent crime is a crime itself.  The government goes lightly against criminals, while offering counseling for those who've been victims of crime.

Mikey are you for real, they start on around £22,000 and things go up from there!!! In answer to the question yes I do think most police are dishonest send a thief to catch a thief as my dear old dad used to say!!! Also kilroymaster needs to open his eyes and see that the police condemn groups of people on a daily basis from the actions of a few, I ride a motorbike and come summertime can't travel more than two miles without being pulled because some bikers speed, use illegal cans and numberplates etc. look at their shoot to kill policy on trains, all of a sudden everyone carrying a back pack and running for a train is a terrrorist!!!

police only deal with criminals in an official capacity?

Freemasons are a rather contraversial group. Today, they still have secrets. My dad is one, I should know. Anyway, to be a mason, you have to be reccomended by at least two other Masons, and you have to be male. The masons were supposedly founded in the days before the Crusades in the form of the Templar Knights of france. There are a lot of stories surrounding that. one of them is that the king of France wanted to steal or otherwise procure the Templar's treasure. They refused, and were almost wiped out. Sucks to be them. Any other questions?

Are you nuts? The police won't tell anyone about arrest warrants, least of all the person to be taken into custody. How in hell would they ever catch anyone if it were otherwise?

Hmmmm.....tough to say because the people whom we want to bring charges against are the law makers themselves. There is a strong reason for putting up charges agains Bush and Blair in the Internation Criminal Court (some people didn't know the full form here) or Cour internationale de Justice/ International court of jusitce. Both these two have waged an illegal war (as per the United Nations charter on going to conflict and war) and both have violated some serious international laws\n\nIn UK some people already tried to bring charges against Blair.\n\nBut here we are talking about fighting against big countries and powerful people...every country has done some or the other wrong thing...China's government is blamed for gross Human Rights abuses, Indian government for supporting the terrorist organizations like LTTE in Sri Lanka and Maoist terrorists in Nepal and many others in South Asia...but hmmm...\n\nWe don't live in a perfect world and people can run away from the crime as long as they have the power and occupy the places that matter.

Its a case of if the criminal wants to break the law then he takes the consequences.  ALL police should be armed, that might make the toe rags think twice (thats if they have enough brain cells to think twice!) before they break the law...often endangering or stealing from honest hardworking people who stay within the law.  Im sure many will bleat "victimless crime" but theres no such thing, they all have have victims in one way or another!

Whoever told you that is wrong.  \n\nYou're talking about some fairly complicated jurisdictional issues.  There are many, many situations where police can and do exercise jurisdiction on private property.
