Police should have phones randomly checked to tackle misogyny, says former Met boss

"When I was a Met constable it was a pretty sexist, racist organisation, but the idea that anybody would say 'what women need is a good slap' is just inconceivable."

He went on: "These social networks are entirely secret and I think what's going to have to happen is that the Met will have to have a deal that people can randomly have their phones examined." His comments come after a series of damning revelations about conduct within the Met - much of it relating to activity on social media sites.

Yes I definitely agree with this

thedrcbird Good idea for here. Also check for alt right nonsense.

Let’s randomly check everyone’s phone. See how long that fucker lasts.

The 1% would simply get two phones.

They shouldn’t be allowed to have personal phones whilst on duty.

No they should not!95% of police officers are good people and get up each morning to do their best.Give them total support and find and throw out bad apples.
