NORTHERN CONSTABULARY OBTAIN WARRANT TO EXAMINE WEBSITE (November 24, 2008)
In a bizarre sequence of events, an operator of this website was detained today by officers of the Northern Constbulary.
Detective Sergeant MacGillvary and Detective Constable Adain Brenan had been instructed by Chief Superintendant Laurie Stewart to investigate a complaint of breach of the peace. The operator was driven to Dingwall Headquarters where he was interviewed without charge for a period of one and a half hours.
The main thrust of the Chief Superintendant's complaint was that he was offended by e-mails and colourful language being used towards him in a lengthy investigation. The operator and D.C. Brenan agreed that the relationship with Chief Superintendent Stewart had all but broken down and perhaps there were faults on both sides.
Throughout the enitre interview, great courtesy was shown to the operator of this website by D.C. Brenan, who was a credit to himself and to any police force. The same could not have been said of Sergeant MacGillvary whose aggressive interjections at the interview were most unhelpful. His body language throughout the entire interview could only be described as off hand, as he spent most of the time sitting at a peculiar angle which eliminated any eye contact.
At the end of the interview, the operator was arressted without charge and released.
The website's legal source stated, "This was a clear attempt at bullying by Chief Superintendant Stewart. As the instructing agent he knew that the operator had to attend the Dingwall Sheriff Court at 10am in a matter which he had lodged an opposition. By good luck, rather than by good management, the officers who had been employed to detain arrived late and subsequently, were unable to prevent the appeal before his Lordship Sheriff Principal Sir Stephen Young BT QC.
Failure to have attended would have resulted in a win for the Chief Superintendant and that the operator would have been guilty of ill manners towards the court for his failure to attend.
