Lancashire Police Give Policeman £5000 For Wrongful Arrest
by Anorak | 28th, October 2010
WHEN PC Roderick Lund was arrested for an argument with a neighbour in Caterall, Lancashire, he felt aggrieved. So he sued the Force. And he won £5,000 in an out-of-court settlement.
Lund claimed that he was the victim of unlawful arrest and false imprisonment.
A Lancashire Police spokeswoman says, in the interest of transparency with public funds, it is “inappropriate to comment”.
“Any civil claims that the force is involved in are private matters between the constabulary and the claimant.”
No. It isn’t. It’s matter for the public to know how the police behave and how the cash gets spent. The time for snootiness has passed…
