      I am astonished that a former police officer is allowed to retain his notes of an investigation after leaving the force, then wave them around in interviews ten years later and divulge private details of an individual when no law was broken @DamianGreen @metpoliceukhttps://twitter.com/tonydavis56/status/936536672157749248 …

      Surely the officer I heard this morning on @BBCr4today is still bound by the Official Secrets Act even if he no longer works for the MPS

      Officer says he saw this coming & kept notes for own protection. Could be argued that @DamianGreen called into question integrity of his colleague Bob Quick/police service generally & he was entitled to respond. Could also be argued it’s a breach of Official Secrets Act. Arguable

      Peculiar though that it was only this case he kept notebook from. I've known lots of cops over the years and if they do keep their notes, it tends to be for lots of cases, not just one. Anyway, the retired officer seems to be under investigation himself now.

      Agreed Claire. It’s the fact of ten years passing that’s odious and an officer retaining info for personal gain that stinks. If the original investigation was happy not an illegal act why on earth keep the “legal” data/info that’s inexcusable and reflects very badly on the force

      How do people with no experience of the culture or practice of police know what the motivation of the retired detective was or is? Evidence is routinely retained in case of civil action even if there is no prosecution. Not justifying anyone’s actions but we are not mind readers.

      Well Brian, you may not have liked the CPS, but I did work for them for 28 years, so worked very closely with police & do have an inkling of their culture & practice. Evidence is retained but usually by the force not individual officers. I find the retired officer's actions odd.

      The evidence (copy of hard drive) was kept by the Force, not the officer. He kept his notes, as far as I understand it. The question of who started it was, I think, Bob Quick & not this officer. Damien Green then retaliated calling officers’ integrity into question. No winners

      Thank you that’s helpful it’s such a shame how hard vast majority of Police Officers work and how reputation is so important to the role and hard won. This sort of stuff is bordering on political tampering and will have repercussions on trust. Have a good weekend.

      Brian you appear to draw equivalence btwn v. senior police officer (ret'd) engaging in political smear and v. senior politician (active) doing same. Is that your point of view? No difference, same expectations of character and expected behaviour? Hope not

      I think likely to be personal rather than political (Quick v Green). Personally, porn on computer not an issue but press story related to attitudes in Parliament to sexual harassment of women. MP said officer was lying about porn - appears he wasn’t. Poor judgement on both sides.

          Agree poor on both sides but police have powers that if misused destroy civic trust even more than politicians. This speaks to character and our faith that those with warrant cards don't misuse them. Quick shows why he was removed, but how did he rise so high?

          Also not clear that politician lied (surprisingly). In your political role, do you think likely that at time of Tory surge against Labour, in Shadow Immigration portfolio, Green wld've had time or privacy to spend hours scrolling '000's' of images?

          2 issues. Was porn found on computer? Apparently yes. Who put it there, who was using it? - there’s an investigation. My understanding: Quick said computer in Green’s office had porn on it. Green said it was a political smear. Exactly what was said & who lied? We don’t know...yet

          Yes agree again, but 'police officers retired' continue a campaign. That's not just 'poor' (what you might say about bad joke in pub), but undermines trust in police - 'long arm of revenge, not law'. More robust rejection by you of these actions wld be good.
