In this video, the YouTuber visits a West Midlands police station in Dudley to discuss the issue of corrupt officers and express concerns about the force’s handling of certain cases. They mention 67 disgraced West Midlands police officers within a five-year span, including offenses such as theft, drink driving, sexual offenses, and assault. The YouTuber is particularly concerned about a case involving a police officer, Lee Duffield, who was caught with 106 indecent videos of children but did not receive a custodial sentence.
The YouTuber engages in a conversation with a police sergeant at the station, who clarifies that the police force does not condone the behavior of officers involved in criminal activity. The sergeant acknowledges that the force has no control over court decisions and emphasizes that it is not the police’s place to comment on judicial outcomes. When asked about the public’s trust in the police force, the sergeant admits that there is a disconnect between the police and the community but maintains that he personally has never had any negative interactions with the public due to his respectful approach.
The YouTuber and the sergeant discuss the issue of “predator hunter” videos, where a member of the public claims they were stopped by the West Midlands police and labeled a vigilante. The sergeant explains that if someone is acting within the law and not breaking any rules, there should be no issue with their actions. The YouTuber emphasizes the need for more police officers and sergeants like the one they are speaking with, to rebuild trust between the public and the police force.
Towards the end of the video, the YouTuber praises the sergeant for his respectful and pleasant demeanor and suggests that having more officers like him would help bridge the gap between the police and the community. They express concerns about the vetting process for police officers, questioning how so many corrupt individuals have managed to join the force. The video concludes with the YouTuber thanking the sergeant for the interaction and planning to visit another police station for a similar audit.
