Met Police deem sharing emails with someone online to be poor judgement and suspend Specialist Firearms Officer
The Daily Mail and The Sun nreports on how 40 year old PC Malcolm Thomas, a Metropolitan police marksman, has been removed from duty with Scotland Yard’s specialist CO19 unit after contacting strangers through an online adult dating site.
Apparently he used the name ‘funboybobby’, described himself as ’sexually adventurous” and added pictures of himself dressed in uniform, body armour and carrying a 9mm Glock pistol. The problem with his employer seems to have arisen in electronic communications that he shared with a “woman” who has gone on to expose him after he sent naked pictures he took of himself with his mobile phone.
I personally can see nothing wrong with a 40 year old man advertising himself as “an armed policeman in London and very dominant” and even talking about his job with a date, so what? …welcome to 2009! I think the problem comes from the lack of judgment he showed as to who he was confiding with and whether they were over the age of consent and as described. Anyone with half a brain knows that most of the “sexy women” on “adult” internet dating sites are no more genuine than a “15 bob note”.
If you’re thinking of trying Online Dating make sure you use “impeccable levels of judgment” and at least try out The 3G Dating Agency – where 3G Video Calling ensures EVERY validated member is 100% real and advertised genuinely…
