Cops Blunder Over CCTV

Big Wullie · Cops Blunder Over CCTV

In all walks of life people make mistakes, like the Fingerprint Y7 and QI2, though some admit their mistakes and move on.

This is a classic example of how easy mistakes can be, and are made.

The following is funny if it was not so serious for people like us fighting for justice.

It also shows how easy it is for Humans to make a mistake.

Wonder what would have happened if they had insisted they were right ?

Cast Of Hooligan Film Among 'Wanted' Fans

Scotland Yard had a "bad day at the office" when officers included pictures of actors from a hit football film among images of fans wanted after rioting broke out at a match.

Supporters confront riot police outside the West Ham grounds Upton Park
The error came about when the Metropolitan Police used a Sky TV report to capture images of fans fighting at a game between West Ham and Millwall.
Police must have been watching with the sound off – because they failed to notice the report included footage from The Firm, a movie about 1980s football violence.
When the Yard recently issued 66 pictures of people supposedly caught on camera during the Carling Cup clash in August, they mistakenly included stills of six actors from the movie.
Scotland Yard said: "We wish to apologise unreservedly to those affected. We are going to be actively trying to contact those people to offer our apologies."

Actor Paul Anderson

The film is about a young man who joins a "firm" of thugs.
Paul Anderson, who plays sociopathic leader Bex, was one of the actors whose image was issued to journalists.
Vertigo Films, which made the movie, told The Sun: "We are delighted our scenes are so realistic people can't tell the difference between them and real events."
Yard insiders described the mix-up as a "bad day at the office" for those responsible.
During the violence in and around West Ham's Upton Park ground on August 25, a 43-year-old Millwall supporter was stabbed. Police have arrested more than 40 people so far.
