In my post Encounter With The Chief, I reported how I tried to lay three sets of charges at Cape Town's central police station last week. But police chief Col. Scanlen refused all three, and asked me to leave the police station (see that post for context). Here is some of the detail of what he refused, as a case in point. I placed in his hands the name, address, telephone number, and passport number of a man who had committed a cluster of crimes. This would have been crimes solved "on a plate". They came complete with the man's own confession, which I had in my pocket. Among other things he confessed: "The solar station, we took." But that was "small stuff" -- I needed help with weightier stuff. OBSERVATION: In November last year, I deservedly reported several police officers, some of them colleagues of Col. Scanlen, to Col. Kemp. Col. Kemp signed the affidavit, which now seems to have gone -- at the least, been abandoned. People told me: Report police officers, and you will never have recourse to the law again. I would hope that that is not true, but at the moment, whatever the cause, I seem to have no recourse to the law.
