Police Vendetta Could Cost Lives

BY OUR CRIME CORRESPONDENT

A political activist has lashed out at police for showing a ‘reckless disregard for human life’. Charlie Hamilton, 32, is suing Durham Constabulary for wrongful arrest and is demanding damages and an apology. He claims he was picked up by the force because of his personal views, which had nothing to do with the case they were looking into.

Police arrested Hamilton following a report of an attempted abduction of a young woman in a Newcastle underpass. He was detained for hours and repeatedly questioned about a crime he could not have committed because he was miles from the scene when it happened. His version of events was proven by a simple examination of CCTV footage in the area.

‘The police wouldn’t believe me and kept going on about my political ideology, as if that somehow made me a potential killer,’ he said. ‘The whole thing has been a scandal and a complete waste of my time and theirs. Why aren’t they out there looking for the real culprit? Unlike the police, I am concerned he might strike again. That’s why I am making this claim. It’s not about the money.’
