| An evening with Michael Bunting. The true story of a police officer trying to survive in a prison for a crime he didn’t commit. | |
| A Fair Cop is the true story of P.C. Michael Bunting who was attacked and injured on an August night in Leeds in 1997. Two years later he found himself defending a charge of common assault in Leeds Crown Court. He was found guilty and received a four month prison sentence. The book gives graphic accounts of life behind bars for a policeman as one by one the inmates turn on him. Michael Bunting is coming to talk about his book and his experiences. Some comments received: Brilliant idea to invite a local author to give a talk. Michael Bunting – extremely interesting and thought provoking. Fantastic. Brilliant speaker. Society should be proud of people like Michael. A real entertaining evening. It gave you a new slant on the Police Force. Good to know that as one door shuts a better one opens. Good luck. We travelled from Staffordshire to listen to an informative talk by Michael Bunting. Thank you. Wonderful. Michael and his family have been very brave. A really wonderful story, the best so far. It goes to prove the saying as one door closes etc. |

I am a Canadian citizen currently serving in the Uk police. I am surprised at the contempt that UK police officers are held in and am now in the process of returning to Canada as this country has gone right down the sewer in every respect.
The Judge in his case should be jailed indefinitely for his own lack of integrity and his own breach of court rules as well as the officer who gave evidence against him, what a dirty lying POS she was, she needs to be sacked for colluding with criminals and jailed indefinitely for perjury. If she likes criminals so much, she can live with them.
In the end, Britain will get the criminal problems it deserves if it fails to respect its officers.
I visited Russia and saw how officers there deal with “resistive” prisoners. Very brutal, very effective. That’s what the scumbag in this case needs to experience. More than a mere ABH that’s for sure and no recourse available.
Posted by GUY FAWKES | March 19, 2010 10:58 amSadly, very sadly, I have to agree with the comments made by our Canadian friend – it’s truly shameful that so little regard or indeed respect is afforded to all the hard working and dedicated police officers here in the UK who have to combat not only the criminal fraternity but also certain sections of the judiciary who really and truly appear to display more concern for the perpetrators of crime than they do for their victims. The manner in which PC Michael Bunting was treated during his trial and subsequenty is nothing short of an absolute travesty – a total disgrace and a symptom of how much the legal system in this country has declined in standards of justice and fairness. It is so gratifying to see that Michael is doing so well in his new line of work. Many decent people in the UK would not be prepared to do the job of a police officer under any circumstances, certainly not on the basis of what we have all read about in Michael’s excellent book – I am glad to have it on my bookshelf.
