MUSLIM crime victims could gain the right to have their cases overseen by police from their own religion, it emerged last night.
Police in London already give victims the right to ask for a Sikh officer to be involved in an investigation but the scheme could be introduced for other religions elsewhere.
Chief Supt Joanna Young, from the Mets Criminal Justice Policy Unit, said: If its a success, I would encourage the other (police) associations to do likewise.
The project is intended to help investigate honour killings and forced marriages but Metropolitan Police Federation chairman Peter Smyth said: Were stretched thin enough already. Are Sikh officers going to have their rotas changed so theres always one on duty?
Its political correctness gone mad. We talking about the creation of a separate force within a force.
But Palbinder Singh, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Sikh Association, said: I dont believe a white officer is ever going to be fully conversant with a Sikh.
Great. Their own police, thier own courts, next their own government.
Britons!!!! Check your pants!!!! Do you STILL have testicles??!!!
Christians, Jews, Hindus, Druids and other infidels need not apply.
Wow, thank you for reminding all of us about it ... I’m sure we all forgot! /s
What do you expect from the powdered wig crowd?
I wonder if I can move to Britain, do some mayhem, and say “sorry, I live by isom35 law”
Didn’t even bother to read article, except to check the URL. Of course it is the UK. They must have a death wish.
I refuse to be arrested until the vatican Polie arrive,
Seriously???
I didn’t see a humor tag.
Say it ain’t so...
And the PC white people will still clamor of the positive effects of diversity when they are being murdered.
I’m glad I sold my castle in the Enlish countryside/sarc
What does that statement mean?
Star & crescent is symbolic of islam. Skull & bones, well, obvious.
LOL. It's so funny to hear comments like this on FR nowadays. The US is basically a sinking ship at the moment as our great and fearless leader- obama- does everything possible to dismantle our once great nation. Yet people can always remove the mote from somebody else's eye.
Ok. Whatever. The UK is dead. The US, we're good to go! We've O!
The UK is being destroyed by political correctness due to the European Union.
