Grand Juries – What you need to know
On Tuesday, 12th June 2012, there was a meeting at the Central Methodist Hall, Westminster, London. This meeting was billed as one to define “Police Accountability in 2012”.
On the other side of the road (Storeys Gate) a demonstration was held, initiated by Michael Doherty. During that demonstration, the Right Hon. Member for Wrekin, Mark Prichard, made a short speech. In that speech he called for the abolition of the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission).
A couple of weeks prior to this, there had been another demonstration (again organised by Michael Doherty), outside the IPCC, calling for its abolition. This seemed to result in the Minister for Home Affairs, Keith Vaz, telling the BBC that there would be an Inquiry held, in order to assess the functionality of the IPCC.
That is all fine & dandy … as far as it goes.
But there are a number of problems with a motion to “abolish the IPCC”.
First of all, the IPCC is only a small cog in a fairly large wheel designed to block one’s access to honourable Justice.
Secondly, the question arises: If the IPCC is abolished, then what replaces it?
And the answers to all of this is: It’s not just the IPCC that needs to go … the whole mechanisms for road-blocking need to go … of which the IPCC is only a small part. The entire gamut of road-clocking mechanisms need to be replaced by a “non-road-blocking mechanism”.
And we are fortunate that the necessary mechanism once existed, and could easily exist again.
However, before explaining that mechanism, we all need to understand a little bit of our history……
