After footage of a GMP officer kicking a man in the head emerged this week, some of the subjects of the recent review into the treatment of detainees in the force said they believe officers have failed to take accountability and remain unpunished for offences.
The Baird Inquiry has exposed officers at Greater Manchester Police acting above the law: making unlawful arrests, inappropriate strip searches, and treating detainees in an 'inhumane' manner. This week, images emerging of a GMP officer kicking a man in the head will only add to scrutiny on the force. But having spoken to many of those involved in the Baird Inquiry, which explored the treatment of detainees in GMP, many fear they are failing to learn its biggest lesson - accountability.
Ms McLaughlin added: 'This must be happening on a regular basis and that's a cause of great concern. And the issue being that it's going under the radar because many of my clients don't want to make a complaint, they are actively scared of the power of the police and say, 'well, this is my local police officer, he will just come and get me'.
