I think you resorted to front-loading me in your post 76. I'm not 'attacking' you or anyone in response. I've been quite clear about my opinion. I'm well aware what the law and what disciplinary proceedings allow, I just don't agree that it's right in all circumstances. A message on here has no intonation but in the softest and nicest way, I don't need telling how it all works or what a NG finding means.. I may just have a little smattering of working knowledge of this stuff as I'm sure you do.
I'm never going to argue that the officer in the case mentioned in this post earlier deserves to go - no question for me there. But back to a hypothetical example: someone gets prosecuted for rape and found NG. Maybe the case hinged on consent. Is it right for an employer to then discipline that person?
I'm not trying to fall out with you here, but I was trying to provoke a discussion about whether disciplinary can always be morally right after trial. Very often, yes, but sometimes I think not. It's just a point of discussion, nothing more.
