UK cops who are proud of their wrecks

by Trench Reynolds on June 23rd, 2008

Dozens of police officers who boasted on Facebook about crashing patrol cars keep their jobs:
Dozens of police officers in the UK have been disciplined over a Facebbok group where they bragged about crashing their patrol cars.

Dozens of officers joined a special Facebook group ‘Yes, I’ve had a polcol’ - short for police collision - to boast about smashing up their official vehicles.

The group showed pictures of crash after crash. In one, an officer gives the thumbs up as he poses by his mangled car which appears to be stuck under a tree.

More than 40 officers were involved. Of those, 18 have been formally disciplined, 14 were given written warnings and another nine were given advice.

While I don’t condone such behavior I have to remind the UK police something which I’ve also mentioned to their American counterparts. You above all people should know that nothing is private on the internet.
