James-Bowen v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis [2018] UKSC 40

When Babar Ahmad arrived in handcuffs at a local police station on 2nd December 2003 he had a number of significant cuts and bruises. The officers claimed the suspect had resisted arrest while Ahmad pursued legal action for assault. As the case dragged on it was suggested that the Commissioner was not exactly as supportive of their officers as might be hoped and so the present case was brought in respect of reputational, economic and psychiatric damage caused. In this episode we also discuss the funding crisis affecting the police. Music from bensound.com
