So the misconduct was the lie.
He should have been given a pat on the back for his compassion, it's a bit much when you feel you have to lie about buying a pkt of biscuits. Then again he was covering up a theft I suppose. |

I will believe it when someone other than The Shun reports it.

You can see how the shop staff might get annoyed.If this guy is a repeat offender and does it regularly and they're trying to stop it then they report it and the copper not only doesn't do anything to deter him but actually helps him.

You can see how the police might get annoyed that his job is reduced to arresting vulnerable people, I can understand how soul destroying that would be.
How would an arrest help him? There is no access to services just a fine and/or prison. The biscuits were paid for and the man got some helpful advice, what do we want...A police service, or a police force? I know which I prefer.

At least common sense prevailed, how did this get to court, it should have been dealt with internally, where did they find the money the take it to court

It's one of these technicalities I would say. The disciplinary action will have been for deliberately lying on the report, which I would imagine is gross misconduct, rather than actually for giving the man biscuits.
I've only had disciplinary action once in my job and it was a similar situation. I did **** up (and cost the company about £1000...) by falling for the antics of a known scammer... but my official disciplinary action wasn't for losing the money, which was an honest mistake down to inexperience, but for failing to properly follow procedure / fill in the correct paperwork at the time. My main question would be, why did he lie about it? Are they not allowed to do things like this - or did he simply feel like he would be ridiculed for paying out of his own pocket to help someone? He should just have "accidentally dropped" the £2 next to the guy and been like "Oh look! Is that yours? Just enough to pay for your biscuits... how lucky..." |

I'd say it's more to do with the fact he lied on a report but that doesn't make for quite the sensationalist headline does it?

So suppose this homeless guy kept doing it every day because he knows the police will just pay for them for him if he gets caught.
Who does the shop manager call if the police won't help? Then the shop is known as an easy target so all the guys mates start doing it.Next thing you know it's known as 'the local food bank for the homeless'. When do you draw the line?Do you let it get out of hand before you deal with it? Or do the police uphold the law even if they do feel sorry for homeless people? Is letting crime go undeterred the answer to dealing with homelessness? |
