David Ford v Sir Paul Condon (Commissioner Metropolitan Police)


At this point I jump forward a bit to state that since leaving prison I have repeatedly ask for my property to be returned but to no avail. The Police have tried to hide behind the Police Property Act saying that the limitation has run out, but the Act clearly states that the limitation period is 6 years and I have been trying to reclaim my property well within this limit. Also the items were returned to my solicitor within 6 months of my day of sentence and then taken for an internal Police investigation on which there is no time limit.

Sir Paul Condon, Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis, was not involved in this case until 2nd February 1993 when he took up the office of Commissioner. When he took up office I sent him a fax stating my case in the hope he might do something to right this Miscarriage of Justice, he chose to ignore it in the hope it will go away, it won't. If I get no joy in this country I will take my case to the European Court of Human Rights.

Although I have been refused legal aid until very recently and am living on £53.00 sick pension I will still keep on fighting to see justice done. And if certain officers in the Metropolitan Police think that by continually harassing me I will give up, they need to think again. I am continually being stopped in my car while driving, I have had Police cameras watching my house on at least 3 occasions and if you think this is just paranoia I have several witnesses to back up my claims. On one occasion in December 1995 police broke down my front door and showed me a search warrant stating "Stolen Bearer Bonds," not believed stolen or alleged stolen, but just stolen. I was then taken to Wimbledon Police Station and interviewed and charged, the interview lasted all of 6 minutes. The Police contacted Interpol about the bonds but still couldn't prove that they were stolen, I was released on Police bail while investigations continued. After 2 months of reporting at the Police Station I was told that I need not report anymore and that the Police had finished with me.
