Creeky i need to help you out here as your stand is causing me much cause for concern.

Okay...here is the problem.

Your view is based on the quite reasonable assumption that if you are innocent of any allegation that is made then there is no cause for alarm or , indeed suspicion to be levied or burdened to those who are accused.

You base this on the premise that you are only to be held under suspicion in the event of there being good cause for this to be the assumption and that in the light of evidence presented then this will all be well and good.

After all. there is no smoke without fire......right,? well ...wrong actually.

The bar over many years has been lowered to such an extent that the only basis required by the police to carry out a planned arrest is the word of one person.

Do not forget that in all of the cases under scrutiny here and the subsequent arrests that have followed have been sanctioned by the Chief constable and the crown prosecution service.

In many respects i have my doubts that such arrests could be carried out had it not been for the amendments to the Criminal justice act 1991 and the further lowering of the "evidence bar".

These truly are shocking times that we live in.
