Met Police officers banned from using sex workers and must declare all romantic relationships under new guidelines

1. wasnt soliciting a prostitute a crime anyway?

   or at least covered under convincing another commit a crime?

2. In theory, but will it change anything in practice? Will any be sacked or change behaviour?

3. Imagine having to declare your relationships to your workplace. Fuck that.

4. Are the Met officers not allowed to have a private life? Who cares what they do in their free time, provided it’s legal?

5. This isn’t going to change a thing.

   All the low life’s people bitch about are lying in the first place so unless the officers are going to be under human surveillance 24/7 – 365, nothing will meaningfully change.

   It’s like the gun laws in America, they sound good until you put any thought into who is affected by it, here’s a tip, it’s *never* the criminals.

6. This makes no sense. Having to declare your relations is creepy and could lead to some really toxic workplace environments, and if it’s in reference to the recent rash of officers being found to be a little bit rapey, they’re hardly going to declare that are they?

7. How to make joining the police even more attractive than it currently is.

8. They’ve got so many rotten apples to clean out and this is not the way to do it.
