Sometimes things need to go between offices fairly quickly and out with office hours. Seeing as it can be fairly sensitive documents you can't just pop them in a taxi when you have a couple of pandas out and about. Especially
most nights not much happens between 3 and 7.

Yep, everyone is dead happy about it.
From what I've heard under Scots law the burglar / late night joiner
COULD NOT have been arrested for Section 58 (Going equipped to steal in lay mans terms) and from experience proving the offence would have been difficult.
I know what he was doing, the jailed cop knows what he was doing and everyone who isn't a complete idiot or a defence lawyer knows he was up to no good but actually proving an offence would be an issue.
Again shocking decisions both in the initial decision to prosecute, finding her guilty and the sentence. At most she should have been dealt with internally for neglect of duty.
