Conclusive evidence not grounds for reinvestigation
In February of last year Merseyside Police arrested someone and ceased some of his property for the investigation. When the detained person noticed that the manifest did not agree with the objects seized. Several where missing. So he complained about this. The rather corrupt, and likely criminal Inspector Damien Walsh dismisses the complaint, so it was appealed to the IPCC, who agreed with Inspector Walsh and dismissed the complaint.
In the following few months bits of equipment where returned and eventually only one bit was missing, in fact several bits had been returned that where not on the manifest. In an attempt to get the one bit that was missing back and was told that despite the fact that equipment was returned that wasn't on the manifest this could be the subject of a complaint about the bad manifest because that complaint had already been investigated.
