That sounds quite the unlikely tale. How would you explain the child pornography they found at his home, was that a prank too?

  Read above about how a cop planted evidence in my car to get what he wanted. Google Civil Forfeiture if you want to see more scummy ways cops will fuck up your life for giggles. For all we know it was anime and the cop said it was child porn because he had never seen anime in his life.

      Just as unlikely as… Appellate court: decisions look legit based on evidence; at trial, please prove evidence Plaintive: how about we just don’t have a trial… Defendant: ffs Something smells fishy. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ve been on the wrong side of cops’ biases too many times to think they are automatically in the right; making virtually any other possibility just as likely. For example, for all we know, the defendant is actually an alien and they simply wanted to run experiments on him for a few years. Oh, wait, he actually is an alien. lol. Anyway, I got nothing and doxing them on here without any actual evidence of wrongdoing, but insisting that circumstantial evidence is proof without even a trial is super fucked up. I’m not a lawyer but I’ve worked with plenty of them to prove some technical shit or another for a case, even the FBI. So I’ve seen some crazy and unlikely cases in my life. This sounds suspiciously like they couldn’t pass the bar of “without a doubt” and simply gave up. Oh, and why is a trial important? So we get to hear his side of the story. You’ve only heard one side, and he would be wise (and well within his rights) to never share his side.

          > He's trying to evoke sympathy by providing very limited information as to why the landlord made that call. I can see why. The justice system failed to let him have a chance to defend himself, and left him to deal with random people who think one side of a story is the whole story. > asking him what he has to say about that. Frankly, it's none of your business. Call your congressman and complain about the justice system and ensuring people get a chance in court when it is obvious the state is going to lose. > Would you want this guy living in your house, in close proximity to your children, after finding out these charges and the circumstances of his arrest? These days, I live in a country that respects people's privacy. So, I probably wouldn't even know. But also, in this country, pedophilia is usually dealt with by lynching before the cops even show up.

          How did you know who he is? I'm slightly curious. I remember Bocock from 20-odd years ago when we were on a couple of the same mailing lists. EDIT: I assume this'll be the same person. The name is not exactly common. And one of the lists was 99% British people. (Never met him and I know nothing about him other than his name. (It ends in "cock", so it stuck in my mind. I was 23 back then.) I have nothing to contribute one way or the other regarding the accusations.)
