    Talking Wasting Police Time PC's Blog

    The identity of a police constable whose internet diaries lifted the lid on modern-day policing has been revealed for the first time by the BBC.

    Stuart Davidson, from Staffordshire, risked dismissal from his job to write The Policeman's Blog.

    He has told BBC One's Panorama officers were often doing paperwork and chasing targets instead of arresting criminals.

    Police and government officials say they accept there is too much bureaucracy involved in the job.

    Not even the 36-year-old's closest colleagues knew he was responsible for the blog, which was written under the pen-name of PC David Copperfield and has received over one million hits since he started it.

    Check out the full story - BBC NEWS | UK | Police blogger revealed

    Then check out an extract of the actual Blog - mind you don't blame him, as you can't read it all as now it is a book and you have to buy it - but see the last few days.

    There are other professionals blogs on the link on the right hand side which you might also find interesting.

    I dont think they should disipline him due to him writing a blog which has his own opinions, the whole reason for the internet is that it is free to access all types of knowledge and information.

    How can you punish someone for having an opinion, admittedly I have not read the article in question but this does beg the question to freedom of speech, are we all robot who are not allowed opinions. Who is to say he is wrong and who is to say he is right, that is the whole point of an opinion.
