Crooked Cops - U.K. Style

It's not only the prospect of another Cumbria incident, as Jadegold linked to yesterday, that has the U.K. lawmakers considering stricter regulations, it's the crooked cops.

Of course it's hard to picture a guy who looks like this getting away with anything in the U.S.  Our racial profiling policy sees to that.  The one on the left was the cop turned gangster, the one on the right was the gangster turned convict.

Salim 'Sal' Razaq, 31, became a 'mob boss in police uniform' after assuming control of a drug and dirty money racket when his brother [Hafiz] went to jail over a vicious turf war.

Officers found two Uzi sub-machine guns and a 9mm Sten sub-machine gun hidden in a suitcase under the stairs, when they raided his suburban home.

They also recovered 224 live rounds of ammunition from a shed, £72,000 in cash plus a knuckle-duster, balaclava and bullet-proof jacket.

Inside the house was a 'tick list' of names and amounts of money which police believe refered to drug contacts.

It is suspected he had also been using the police national computer to check on the movements of rival mobsters.
