After paying £10 to find out whether my complaints about Sussex Police had been officially recorded, I was not provided with that information, but was sent seven pages of entries from the Crime Reporting System, with dozens of details blacked out. I am commenting on three of those entries here. The first is headed "AGGRIEVED", and though the details of the aggrieved have been blacked out, from the date it is evident that the entry refers to the assault on me by Mabry in March 2002, from Mabry's dishonest point of view:  The second entry refers to me (with two of my three names misspelt) as "Suspect", followed by:  Whether this means that I was suspected of being guilty of "Common assault and battery" I am not entirely sure. Immediately following, under the heading "AGGRIEVED", two of my names are again misspelt, and a policeman's account of the assault on me (I was not allowed to make a signed statement myself) reads as follows:  Of interest are the similarities between what presumably is supposed to represent Mabry's account of the attack, and the dishonest police officer's account of what is presumably put there to represent what I am supposed to have said. What a sergeant had dictated to a constable in my presence and which I was not allowed to sign - as I would not agree to a statement saying that I wanted to take the matter no further - was evidently destroyed, as it was markedly at variance with OIS Ser No: 959, which was presumably substituted in its place. My account of what did happen was filed through the PCA. I presume that the PCA sent a copy of my complaint to Sussex Police, as soon afterward I was visited by Acting Inspector Barrasford. Though my own account of the attack differed radically from that in OIS Ser No: 959, nothing was done to rewrite or modify it. On 15th November 2003, after I had included in a letter to Eastbourne County Court details of some of the harassment to which I was being subjected by my neighbours, Inspector Brown of Hailsham Police telephoned me about my comments. As a result, I wrote a brief letter to Inspector Brown, and enclosed a copy of the complaint that I had made to the PCA the previous year. Again, nothing was done to rewrite or modify OIS Ser No: 959. |
