The unintended consequences of bail reform

 "What of those simply released but still subject to investigation? The police must start with a presumption that all suspects can be treated in this way, so we must expect a great number of people will find themselves in this position.

They include those the police do not fear fleeing or committing other offences. And these are likely to be the people that would find the delay and lack of information most distressing – the elderly, children, those with clean records and the most to lose. I fear they will end up suffering more from delay and lack of information, than even those bailed under our present system."

 Bail reform could lead to ‘endless investigation’

"According to the report by the College of Policing, there is a danger of investigations ‘without deadlines’. It reported that the average length of time individuals spent on pre-charge bail, including extensions, was 53 days; and that more than four out of 10 of all cases involving violence and sexual offences (41%) were bailed for more than 28 days.

Time allowed for forensic analysis was one of the main reasons for long periods of pre-charge bail with phone downloads being the most frequent type. The study found that six out of 10 cases involving suspects who were bailed for more than 90 days involved some form of forensic analysis."

Hunting The Hunters

Vigilante who hunts 'child sex predators': Leader of group that closed down following suicide of man it targeted pleaded for anonymity when confronted by the Mail

">Leicester Police told the Mail not to identify the man to protect his family,
>He is the leader of the Letzgo Hunting group set up nine months ago,
>Gang's methods criticised at inquest of 29-year-old engineer Gary Cleary,
>He hanged himself days after the vigilante group accused him of grooming.

Controversial: Police asked the Mail not to reveal the vigilante's identity to protect his family.

This is the Leicestershire man behind a disturbing phenomenon of vigilantes who set out to hunt down and trap suspected child sex offenders, and expose them on the internet.

He is the self-appointed leader of Letzgo Hunting, a gang that closed down this week [sure?] just nine months after he set it up, following the suicide of a man it accused of grooming a pre-pubescent girl for sex over the internet.

The gang’s members acted as detectives, judges and jurors towards those they targeted."

Who are online paedophile [sic]hunters Letzgohunting? Marie Ashby meets the parents who pursue paedophiles [sic] by posing as young girls online. If the men agree to a meeting they confront them on camera then publish the video and pass their evidence to police. But do their methods risk interfering with police investigations and should they be doing what they do?"
