Hmmm .. I've purposefully avoided buying a house next door to a policeman/woman for this very reason ... some are ok, but there are others I wouldn't trust.

It sounds as if he got off lightly with a fine and a written warning, it's a complete breach of trust from someone in his position.
He was a real idiot to have told her what he'd done though :blink:

I'm gobsmacked that he wasn't sacked on the spot!
Somebody asked my husband to check a car registration number on the PNC once and he was horrified, refused adamantly to do it. It's absolutely forbidden!
I suppose Manchester ratepayers only consolation is that it will be a black mark on his record :(
