The Law Nicola Gobbo named - Massive corruption by Victoria Police that will see major criminals released from jail

[its free real estate]

A woman as ugly as Gobbo being a honeypot for high ranking criminals is clear evidence that crime doesn’t pay.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

How did she escape charges from her uni days? It wasn't solely because of her surname.

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Crankyhawk]

What odds that "public interest immunity" is the most quoted term of the day?

If it was politics it would be “national security “

 

[Run n Spread]

Massive error by Gobbo going on 730 tonight, completely shoots down her "too ill to testify" line.

What a vain idiot she is.

Actually shot to shit this entire state. It's a joke. Yet no one cares. There is no structure or accountability anywhere. It's beyond the police this is just the wild west

Rachael Brown was brilliant though.

If only more Aussie journos asked the hard ones like that.

Just straight up peppered Gobby from the off.

I always say that if you are doing the right thing, you don't need to worry about the police.

Most who are critical are probably doing something where they would get in trouble for.

Yet the biggest problem is the weak sentences and the slap on the wrists that judges give crims.

Maybe if judges were held to account and did their job properly, police wouldn't have to use covert means to get convictions. The real crims are the defence lawyers and those who sit on the bench.

Journos should be more supportive of the hard work police do.

But most journos leave their conscience and morals at the door, as they care more about lining their pockets and selling their news than they do about crime in this state.

In fact, the media LOVE when there is an increase in crime, because it sells more newspapers. Their ratings and newspaper sales benefit from the escalation of crime.

Once when I reported a crime (that was actively still going) they asked me what it was my business to report said crime. it was a teenager getting absolutely brutalised by a bunch of other teenagers 200m from their station, but they didn’t want to know about it, and were incensed I felt it necessary to report it.

they are a pack of useless bludgers. None of my dealings with them from the right side of the law have left me with any respect for them.

 

[Rettolalia]

Almost vomd in mouth during 7.30 interview when she admitted sleeping with Paul Dale.....not making any wild accusations or anything, but how pissed or coked out of your eyeballs, must you have to be to even consider ploughing Gobbo?

Maybe she has got some experienced and freaky older women thing going on, but for the life of me I can’t wrap my head around it.

System has to be fair both sides. You seem to be advocating solving 1 problem weak sentences (imo this problem doesn't exist as bad as the media hysteria) with an all in police state

This is a very naive post to make. Trying telling that to the 100 odd million relatives of those that died under Mao, Stalin and Hitler.

Yep, people just seem to treat this shit as normal. Disgraceful.

VicPol need to be rebuilt from the ground up

Yet the Victorian prison population is rising massively because of the sentences we give.

Yet what is now "the right thing" was usually illegal at one point and involved standing up to the cops.

BTW - what does boot actually taste like?

We need to spill the entire OPI and start again. There is no way to plaster over the cracks here.

At Federal level there is often a mix on 'insider' and 'outsiders' (e.g. defence personnel working alongside defence department staff). The OPI needs a similar mix to ensure it's not mates investigating mates.

OPI doesn't exist any more - IBAC now.

Which is a joke.

Problem is they are very complex criminal investigations so you need investigators with experience conducting criminal investigations.

Besides police or ex police who else has these skills?

There are a myriad of States and Federal government departments and agencies who run investigations, many of which then test those charges in court.

From the top down.

BTW when did these AFP clowns infiltrate VicPol?

We don't live in a dictatorship.

But they get out in under ten years in many cases.

Are you saying that sentencing is adequate in this state?

 

[Catters 070911]

Would you prefer to get rid of the police force altogether then?

If they are SO corrupt, then maybe scrap them, and have no-one enforce laws.

But don't complain when your house is broken into, you are bashed, and your wife is r*ped, and there is no-one to go after the person who did it.

You might not like police, but they are necessary, and it is better that they are out there doing it than any of us.

However, if you feel that you can do a better job, there are ads on TV for police recruitement, so you should apply.

But then, I bet most of you won't, as you are like most critics, who throw stones from afar, but won't get their hands dirty?

PS Did some of you rejoice at the Walsh St shootings?

A myriad of them?
Name some that investigate criminal offences that corrupt cops commit?

Actually, they don't, which is why the prison population is rising.

I'm not going to answer your second question, as I don't think you and I agree on what "adequate sentencing" is.
