"I know that I upset a lot of police officers when I talk about police corruption." Anyone who doesn't want police corruption to be talked about should not be trusted to do police work. How can you investigate crime responsibly if you can't even handle it being mentioned? A trustworthy police officer who wants to provide safety to the community would want to see corruption exposed and dealt with like any other crime because it's part of what they're paid to do and especially because refusing to deal with criminals in the police makes the whole police service look untrustworthy and criminal.

@@QuixoticCowboy maybe, just maybe, if police were actually TRUSTWORTHY then they wouldn't have to be worried or upset about us not trusting them? If a cop wants me to trust and/or value them, then it's pretty simple for them to gain that - they just have to arrest a colleague. That arrest doesn't even need to lead to a conviction, I just want to see them at least making an attempt at doing their job properly instead of claiming that every member of the police they know is a "good apple"

Watching many of these insider views on crime, smuggling etc. it's amazing to consider how pretty much everyone who was ever involved with organized crime, be it a part of it or fighting against it, comes to the same conclusion: that the war on drugs is lost and that prohibition causes way more harm than good. It truly says something when so many people from so many different backgrounds and walks of life come to the same conclusion, yet nothing is done about it.

Speaking from the inside. It is not so much that nothing is done it is more "what can we do instead that will actually show an improvement with less harm." See many places have tried dergulating narcotics and its gone bad. And I mean really bad. Where I live we have now had 3 major waves of deaths from deregulated narcotics. So now where previously you didnt see this stuff or it was higher quality and safer, because there is less oversight on both sides toxic stuff is getting through. Even with free testing at festivals and events. Death after death for months on end even with publicized warnings. Didnt stop till it was made illegal again. A second example of deregulation not working is tobacco. In many parts of the world it is actually the number 1 drug traded on the black market. Yet it is legal to buy. Lastly since the deregulation the health system has seen a disproportionate amount of young people struggle with chemical dependands and the ruinous impact it has on everyone around them. This impact is social, mental, physical and economic on a national scale.

The problem is an extreme one as we don't want to take crazy solutions yet anything less will be ineffective and likely counterproductive. Proponents of the most accepting doctrines will have you believe that the government could - despite being incapable of maintaining roads no matter how much money you pour into it - outcompete established international criminal enterprises. Obviously, this is a bad idea fit only for very few countries, but we must contrast this with the equally awful (unfortunately true) idea that the opposite solution - the crackdown, complete with the military, militias, and civilian vigilantes - results in a hopefully short period of unacceptably high levels of violence and complete forfeiture of rights. Again, would only work in certain countries, as it has in the past. We should not say the war is lost, as we never fought it. We sent in tiny numbers of crime specialists to deal with a much larger issue than their departments were ever designed for, and then we act surprised when their best efforts come up short. In reality, if we wanted to crush the problem, we could do so easily with the proper expenditures of "blood and treasure" - horrible and likely excessive use of military might at home and abroad. simple as that. WE, the voters, are the problem. We would never vote for either policy, so the issue will simply persist forever.

Several years ago my department- a US sheriff's office- had to fire several jailers after they were found smuggling contraband to inmates. Their motivation? Misplaced loyalty- The jailers and inmates were usually childhood friends and most of the jailers were real young getting hired at the minimum age of 18. Our department partially remedied the situation by raising the hiring age to 21 although it has been lowered back to 18. A department culture against corruption is definitely key.

He makes a very convincing case that the continued criminalisation of drugs is literally the driver of almost all organised crime in the UK. The only conclusion that one can come to after reading his book is that any politician who is against the decriminalisation of drugs, is almost certainly profiting in some way from the sale of those drugs.

Many politicians are against the decriminalization of drugs simply because they want to earn votes and the average citizens are too simplistic and gullible - and on some subjects, even brainwashed - to understand how enormously more damaging prohibition is than decriminalization. So those politicians will not tell people something that would lose them votes instead of earning. Prohibition gives us the illusion that we are doing "something" against the drug problem, and that's what we want, it allows us to think that we have a clean consciense and are good people fighting evil, so that closes the subject, it's useless to try to reason with them on a realistic basis. Go figure, even after prohibition on alcohol showed exceedingly clearly what a loser prohibition is, there are still plenty of groups - and probably some politicians - who claim it would be better to make alcohol illegal again.

Neil woods is one of the most corrupt officers the MET has seen he was DIShonourably discharged / told to leave

I was a police officer in a large county force in England. We allowed the crime reporter of the local paper into the nick at any time. Any room he was stopped from entering had to be explained to him. He could take it to the super. It was banned by the government. The police in England/Wales are forbidden by law to say how badly their force is resourced, or problems with lack of manpower. For a time, we had a recovering drug/alcohol addict in the cell block available to any inmate who wanted to talk about addiction or similar. That was stopped, yet he was a fabulous check on any abuse of power. (He was a great bloke as well.). We had lay visitors to the nicks, cells and CCTV control rooms. I think these are still allowed but not encouraged. I stand to be corrected. The police are banned from speaking to the press. All these laws and regs by the government and Home Office have the result of separating the police from checks and controls. The police should, must, be open and transparent. We should have lay persons going through the nick without a schedule. That's not what the government want because it will show just how poorly the various forces are resourced. They need more staff, especially more supervisors to be responsible for PCs and sergeants. I was in the police from the middle 70s. I've written a couple of Kindle books about corruption in the 70s and 80s - Both Sides of the Force et sec. I was in Crossing the Line of Duty (possibly still available on BBC iPlayer) where police corruption was exposed. The police changed fundamentally in the middle 80s, with higher pay and reasonable conditions of employment being the big improvements. The tory government of Cameron and May destroyed any hope of a professional force by continually attacking it. Moral dropped much faster than pay. The BBC series I was in had a detective constable confess to taking bribes. He explained the process of corrupting him. Simple, easy steps, and soon he was trapped. There is no way corruption can be eradicated from any largish organisation. I've been involved in an enquiry into local government were a whole department was taking bribes, even, remarkably, a temp on maternity cover! Lack of effective supervision is what encourages corruption. Sorry to go on, but it's important to me. It's important to everyone come to that.

Each one had a problem with even further corruption & wrong-doing by police officers. Daniel Morgan, Sheku Beyou, Shirley McKie, Jean Charles de Menezes, Emma Caldwell.....it's an exhaustive list). Police officers need to stand up to this nonsense & do their job. Complicity kills (quite literally). The lengths they will go to cover up crime & corruption (especially for promotions some are just not entitled to, whilst other exceptional officers get bypassed every time despite being highly qualified & great at the job). Most of it is political for personal or financial benefit & covers up political corruption. It's tax payers who pay their wages, not those who avoid paying it. Harassing & attempts to criminalise those who stand up to it, creating false narratives & using (& paying) criminal CHIS to do the dirty work off books - it's not on. This, is where the money, time & resources go. There's more than enough budget, resources, shared work (never see any cops on patrol here unless they pass by in cars), etc. Then ALL of the systems we now have - shared databases, Predpol, Cellebrite, Airwaves, etc. There's no excuse. Enough resources to cover up corruption & crime, just not to deal with it. Change starts from within, a little bit of spine, backbone, courage & the balls to see it through.

Cops in German (population 80 million) killed one guy in 2021. Cops in the USA shoot dead over 1200 civilians every single year. The numbers are so high they don't even release official figures and journalists have had to piece them together. The USA also locks up a higher percentage of its citizens than any nation in history.

Drugs were actually made illegal in the USA not long after prohibition was lifted. I've heard it suggested that it was actually because the huge underworld created by prohibition and the many "legitimate" people (including those in power) who made huge sums from it, needed a new area to move into. Alcohol was just too easy to make for prohibiting it to fully allow its sale to be centralised by organised crime groups. Drugs on the other hand...

@@PonderingStudent The market for drugs was largely regulated as pharmaceutical products at that point. Tinctures of cannabis were prescribed for as many problems then, as now, liquid morphine and cocaine were also medical products, as were amphetamines. And later uppers and psychedelics were introduced by big pharma, pretty much all of them started out as prescribed products. There was some trafficking in low quality marijuana among the Mexicans, and there was an opiate problem in some communities, the jazz community as an example, but there weren't the same customers as there were during prohibition so it wasn't simply a matter of just changing what you sold, making and running moonshine is a very different business to sourcing and distribution of drugs, particularly back then it was two entirely different worlds and no internet to point your way into new business niches. Once all the drugs were legislated to be illegal, a lot of them were then also restricted for medical use, and that's the point at which criminals took over, eventually giving way to organised crime and gangs. LCN took a dim view of drugs early on, and didn't become key players in that trade until much much later. From what I've been able to ascertain, the egg came first in this instance. That is, legislation was passed so that the newly formed agency which they were pleased with, could expand in scope, rather than being shut down when prohibition was reversed. Rather than drugs becoming such a problem in society that an agency was mobilised against them. That didn't really happen until the sixties when LSD got out of the Sandoz labs and into mainstream circulation. Then in the eighties with cocaine and much much more. Even the current scourge of America, meth, was a lab product invented in the late nineteenth century. Which was used by several governments, especially during wartime. Just like Oxycontin and the wave of opiates in recent history, it's mostly been driven by big pharma profiting from the war on drugs, more than anything else. You can't patent a plant, and they want you using their products, not an alternative that puts no cash in their pockets. Which is also why despite the rise of antibiotic resistance, it's taken so long for anyone to start looking into bacteriophages. The Soviets have been maintaining phage banks for decades, and western doctors are well aware of the efficacy, but medicine is about money, not curing the most people. Until that changes, the war on drugs will continue, and it will do nothing but bring misery to millions and deprive countries of generation after generation, sat in prison for possession or sale of plant by-products.

I knew someone who got caught with about 8 ounces of a peculiarity striated and distinct Moroccan hash. This was mid 1980s and in the sleepy Gloucestershire town we are talking about, dealing hash, especially 8 ounces, would probably have resulted in a custodial sentence back then. When he went to court he was only charged with possession of half an ounce. Strangely, mysteriously, the distinctive Moroccan hash appeared on the streets again for a few weeks after his day in court. (He was not imprisoned) It was not him selling it either.

My uncle witnessed a murder in the 70's and had to be put in to witness protection. He was from Ireland and for 15 years (until the murderer had died basically) everyone in the family thought he had died. Which was worse because he had had a massive argument with my grandad about a week before the murder. They reconciled before my grandad died but my grandmother died not knowing he was still alive.

Police corruption is rife...my mind takes me back to 50 years go...I was walking home from a night out...I was with a small group of friends and the police rocked up asking us for details of address name etc which I gave to the officer who asked...their were two coppers involved in this stop and asking/fishing for information. As said, I gave the first officer my details, than...the other copper asked me to provide the same details to him. I refused, stating that I had already provided this information to his colleague. He was really miffed that I wouldn't give my details again. What happened then was this copper who was miffed, bundled me into a van, drove half a mile where there was a dark quiet piece of waste ground where he got me out of his vehicle and started to push me violently in the chest in an attempt to get me to retaliate...the copper who initially got my details was visibly uncomfortable with his colleagues actions (but said nothing) as this other thug kept pushing me...I did not retaliate to his aggression though I dearly wanted to and eventually they drove off. The very next thing I did was walk to the police station (about two miles) and complain about this officers behaviour towards me by giving a statement. I was told, that If I wanted I could get this copper fired, at the time I was 17 and said no I didn't want him fired (though if it happened today I would)....about a year later this idiotic tyrannical bully left the police. This was 50 years ago and still we see evidence of corrupt coppers with their complete disdain for their own policies regarding the general public

You’re the man Ali, keep fighting the good fight

I used to work for a Professor of History, Journalist, and Author. His father was a Police Sergeant until he retired in the 1930s. He said his father always refused to be promoted above Sergeant because, as his father explained, that meant he would have to become corrupt. I was in my twenties when I realised the Police were corrupt - and nothing has changed in all the years since.

Very educational!!! Thanks!!!

This clip should be on prime time news every day for a year. Before they render themselves totally invalid.

Was NOT expecting my man Neil Woods to grace this video!

You've also got to take into account the fact that the Met are also the force responsible for the financial centre of the UK (even though the 'Square Mile' is supposed to have its very own police force). There's eye watering amounts of money being made by organised crime and they aren't stashing it under the bed. Whilst the public are told to focus their attention on topics like 'county lines'. The very same people who are rubbing shoulders with politicians at Westminster members only clubs are facilitating the laundering of vast sums of money through financial institutions. Just like dodgy Russian oligarchs with enough cash could easily live hassle free in London if they greased the right wheels. Then those at the top of organised crime live without fear because they're ensuring the right beaks are being kept permanently wet. It's a massive industry that's infiltrated everything from the law and politics and everything in-between. Ask yourself why a government would want to transform it into a health rather than a legal problem when the 'right kind of people ' (according to them) are making very good money from the way the system is currently constituted? This country is as corrupt as any other once you scratch the surface a bit and disregard the facade of respectability those at the top try to project.

Really glad to see a discussion around chapter 2 "noble cause" though in many cases that seems to be an effort to justify actions the officers know to be corrupt. We see a number of instances in the UK system where police officers will keep other agencies out of events because the meeting would create a record that might influence the CPS to say prosecution is not in the public interest or might serve as strong defense mitigation. More concerning are the instances when officers create complainants and deliberately cause harm to victims in order to manufacture an aggravating factor. Despite these blatantly corrupt practices I think the most common form of corruption results from honest mistakes, but the system from officers on the ground, their sergeants and inspectors take the attitude that it's them vs the person who identified the error and so it moves into corrupt practice of concealing a genuine error. Then that conduct and attitude becomes entrenched.

I'm in awe of these gentlemen.

Absolutely fascinating. It would seem that Infernal Affairs and The Departed are not so far fetched after all.

I had a copper pull me out of work as a service station attendant and take me to a small room at the police station. He said he could pin me as a drug dealer because of the nature of my job where I came into contact with lots of people and cash changing hands. He wanted me to become a police informer in a small town, giving me instructions on who he wanted information on. When I laughed at him saying he must be joking he became violent and threatening physical harm . I'm sure he thought he was in a Hollywood movie and he was the star of that movie.. Not long after my "Interview" with him this Police Sargent he was got caught bashing a school cleaner born with Down Syndrome that would never hurt a fly And was given the sack from the police force. All police are Corrupt in my view and the public are the enemy in their eyes.

That thing you call corruption in your case is official practice here in the US. The standard here is very loose in the sense that we'd regard anyone who can be talked into something without very substantial psychological pressure as being disposed to commit the crime. It's a huge problem in conjunction with laws that aren't seen as inherently wrong by many (drug crimes). It means that the police can pick and choose who they want to imprison since there is a huge fraction of ppl who can be manipulated into doing illegal activities.

This kind of content is what we need to sow close the divide and unite everyone in modern society for the reconstruction for the "modern" police force, that being at least in the UK the system in which the police do their job works, but the way in which criminals and organized crime interact with police contains too many flaws - their would either have to be a massive overhaul to police accountability (which I think given the culture surrounding informants and whilsteblowing is unrealistic and would be incredibly difficult if not impossible to fix) and I think going for organized crime at the buds and roots is the way to do it, neuter these criminal organizations by removing the need for a black-market all-together, that in my opinion is the only way their is a chance this kind of issue can be fixed, mind you their will always be outliers and no solution will fix any issue 100% but damnit if we should'nt at least try.
