The UK Police isn’t as unified as some think it is, and it’s usually thought so because of coordinated campaigns to raise complaints to an unusually high level and also to even protest its existence. The fact is the vastness of its enterprise is difficult to navigate in its entirety, or even in smaller parts of it. It’s not possible to reform the Police overnight – or even to do it in two years, for instance.
This makes it a complex network of interests, a mix of competing persuasions and passions in lawmaking and the execution of warrants and the success of arrests.
In this context, a number of uniquely placed officers began to measure how they might “turn the tide” on criminal harassment cases, as one put it, and “put an end” to the “abuse” of people “simply doing their job” to protect society from “eternal losers” like Journalists, legal staff, and others involved in regulation.
Its inception came after the death of a former Princess of Wales, Lady Diana, in 1997. They thought it too much work to involve themselves in these types of investigations, since they knew a lot of harassment had preceded the passing of the famous humanitarian and former Royal figure as the first and former wife to Prince Charles, now King.
It put them off having to do it, so they decided to try to prevent the Police from having to look at it. The protests that began soon after in some parts of London because of allegations of abuse suspiciously enabled these official figures to begin their work.
They started by meddling in paperwork compilation. They also filed false reports about “obsessiveness” by those looking into harassment. Finally, they briefed against lawyers at work on the issue in UK courts.
It engineered logjams in cases reaching courts in the first place and actually helped to establish many more criminals to either include harassment in their activity or start their own campaigns.
