We Scrapped Coppers Gillian Temple

Based on true events how an innocent man was accused of a crime and pursued unlawfully for nearly 2 years. How the experience lead to post traumatic stress and the demise of his businesses and family whilst police covered up their illegal activities faking evidence to ensure a new statute came into force to control criminals in the scrap metal industry. In the years that followed innocent people were caught up in their unlawful policing operations, a nursery school teacher represented Scrap Dealers and won their court cases even through the High Court proving the law was incorrectly policed, despite having no formal legal training.
