Dear Maurice Kirk

I have read your latest posting entitled Lord Leveson to hear Maurice’s Application at The Criminal Court of Appeal sitting at Cardiff Crown Court on 14th March 13 on

and have just posted this as a comment:

In light of this article printed by the Western Mail Group and particularly Martin Shipton who is personally aware, and, slippery shouldered your infamous case as a matter of public interest and accountability despite their offices being a mere 50 yards from Cardiff Justice Centre

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2013/03/10/no-welsh-police-corruption-prosecutions-despite-scores-of-complaints-91466-32955394/

perhaps Rhodri Glyn Thomas Plaid Cymru’s spokesperson on policing should make effort to walk from his ivory tower in the bay and attend the biggest policing corruption case Wales has ever endured.
In the above article Rhodri Glyn Thomas is quoted as saying.

“It is very important that the police are not placed above the law and immune from the consequences of any wrongdoing. “Their conduct should be of the highest standard and, if it is not and deemed to be criminal, they should face the judicial process. “Standards within police forces need to be very high if public confidence is to be maintained. The four Welsh police forces need to bear this in mind very carefully when allegations of police corruption are upheld in internal inquiries.”

The Police State unites at least Wales and Bretagne – if not UK and EU

Once again, life writes stranger stories than any fiction would invent: Maurice went to pick up some of his files that he had taken to France for safety.

But: his house was squatted, the squatters had used his antique furniture as firewood and his attempt to complain to the ‘gendarmerie’ resulted in him being arrested – with the intention to lock him up in a mental hospital.

First he made this call, then his account appeared on his website, witnessed by a friend…

Having observed maybe some 100 case of white collar crimes by now, my conclusion is:

1. ‘the system’ of official institutions is ALWAYS by far worse than whatever any individual may have done wrongly
2. the individual experiences an accumulation of ‘shock treatments’, while ‘the system’ includes oodles of people from many organisations and departments who don’t accept any responsibility for their irresponsible behaviour
3. organisations always outlive individuals who die away, proud to have fought, but without any justice or compensation.

Maurice is kicked out of Prison, while Tony Farrell hands himself in

Maurice was imprisoned once again, clearly to prevent him from handling and winning his ‘machine gun case’ adequately. But to kick him out after a robbery and beating, is a bit much for a 67-year-old man whose life has been ruined by South Wales Police.

At the same time, Tony Farrell, former Principal Intelligence Analyst of South Yorkshire Police hands himself in, as he writes here:

The Principled Analyst Not Against the Police Service

At 5pm on Sunday 30th September 2012, I pressed the button of a door outside Digbeth Police Station in Birmingham as the building was closed to the public. Over the phone system, I spoke to an operative and told them I was presenting myself for arrest under Section 15 iii of the Terrorism Act 2000. The operative took some details and told me to wait for assistance. Within 5 minutes, three police cars pulled up outside and five uniformed police got out of their vehicles.

Police misconduct database needed, says lawyer Stuart Hutton

Good news on the BBC News Wales: (with my emphasis added, while I seriously wonder whether it might make ANY difference to Maurice in his cell where he is incredibly and most unlawfully hindered from carrying out his court cases!…)

Criminal lawyer Stuart Hutton believes a database should be created to monitor officers’ track records.

Mr Hutton said the rules need to be tightened up and suggested a possible merging of the Inspectorate of Constabulary and Police Complaints Commission.

“A regulatory authority would provide a cast iron decision,” he added.

“We need regulations so we know exactly what the rules are, serving police officers know what the rules are, and it transcends the internal views that different police forces have in terms of interpreting their obligations to the community.

“We spend a lot of money on our police forces and we do need to restore public confidence.”

South Wales Police said the force had “a dedicated professional standards department who ensure we are progressive and robust in responding to allegations, conducting complex investigations into officers whose behaviour or lifestyle presents a cause for concern”.

The Lynette White Corruption Trial is a Sunday School outing compared with the Corruption in Maurice Kirk’s persecution

The above title appears as a comment on Maurice’s site.

However, for me as a relative newcomer to white collar crimes, it is rather shocking to see these two books about South Wales Police and the CPS:

• FITTED IN: The Cardiff 3 and the Lynette White Inquiry
• and The Cardiff Five: Innocent Beyond Any Doubt.

Some samples for what Maurice has to endure courtesy of South Wales Police added to the shock therapy of today:

• a Complaint Form

Imprisoned for ‘suspicion of having breached a restraining order’

No, you can’t make it up, and you can’t believe it either, for you can’t imagine it (unless it happens to you!):

1. Maurice is subjected to over 7 months prison and psychiatric clinic because of ‘serious brain damage’ and ‘possibly brain cancer’ of a report by the Director of Caswell Clinic
2. he gets a scan done in France that proves that there is “nothing between his ears”
3. he gets a scan done by the NHS that proves “nothing wrong with his brain”
4. he gets imprisoned by South Wales Police for having published this article on his website – which MAY be a breach of his ‘restraining order’ that is meant to protect that Caswell Clinic Director.

IPCC receives 631 corruption allegation complaints about Welsh police forces

This is BBC News: A report by the police watchdog shows Dyfed-Powys Police topped a list with corruption allegations made against it for the size of its force. But the IPCC Chair Dame Anne Owers says: “Corruption is not widespread.”

Well, how do you measure corruption?  The IPCC report only comes up with the number of complaints per 1,000 officers. But would there have been a demo, if there hadn’t been a problem???

Maybe a better measure is the number of visits to websites!?

Victims Unite	over 108,000 since August 2010
This site	over 9,500 since August 201

Or the instant response by Keith Vaz MP to the Abolish the IPCC demo?

Or the number of signatures and page views of online petitions and the remarkable quality of their comments?

Or is it the 200 parents whose children are taken against their will and who are sent to prison on top of losing their kids? I don’t think this can happen without police, can it?

I better write to Dame Anne Owers and open her eyes in the ivory tower behind her desk!
