Met Police officer videos toilets at work for Mermaids

She's only been on Twitter for less than two weeks - she also says she's a women's coordinator for the Met - but her timeline is all pro trans tweets including praise for Peter Tatchell, support for 'rainbow crossings' and made up stats that '89% of trans people have considered suicide in the last year(!)'.

But most disturbingly, she's made various videos, seemingly for Mermaids as she's tagged them into her posts, of the men's and women's toilets where she works. She's said the point of these videos is to show what's in the toilets so trans people can feel included - THIS IS NOT WHAT A POLICE OFFICER SHOULD BE DOING.

Does social media literally damage people's brains? I ask that question non-facetiously, I've been wondering about it for a while now.

Neurology Professor Susan Greenfield has written about this very subject. We are outsourceing our memory and increasingly other cognitive functions.

She's a police officer, yet the guidance about being impartial has completely passed her by - because she doesn't appreciate that she's involved in a political movement. Just look at her puppy like adoration at that no doubt hugely expensive and powerful met LGBT conference. I wonder how much that cost in terms of £££ and police time? But with that level of power and influence it's not surprising that police officers think that anything is acceptable if it has the rainbow glitter attached. And when they laud the likes of Tatchell (with his views on adults having sex with children) what else are they failing to see?

LynnSchmob · 23/02/2020 13:08

Is she doing this whilst on duty? If so what a complete waste of tax payers money. WTF is actually going on here?

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 23/02/2020 13:10

Silly Katie. Doesn’t she realise that that trans activists want all police banned from pride?

‘No pride in police’
and
‘No cops at pride’

Will be enlightening google searches for her.

Videoing toilets won’t help.

She has a look in her eye of desperation mixed with anticipation of all the praise she thinks she is about to receive, like a trained dog or abused child

@Chiochan - the above actually felt like a slap in the face. You are 100% correct, it is exactly like watching an abusive dynamic. Which makes me feel horrifically guilty, because my overriding thoughts are to keep silent to keep myself safe, and to question why the fuck she's going along with it... and those are really not thoughts of which I am proud, particularly now that I am viewing it in those terms.

Sad

She’s a serving police officer. She doesn’t have to go along with it.

Lordamighty · 23/02/2020 13:14

It’s no wonder confidence in the police is at an all time low. What the hell has happened to them as an organisation that they think this is acceptable?

BringbackLang · 23/02/2020 13:16

Is she doing this in an official capacity on behalf of the force she belongs to?

HandsOffMyRights · 23/02/2020 13:23

Mermaids and the police have always been bed fellows.
It is also ironic that for a group who claim to be oppressed, TRAs have the police on speed dial.

Talking of puppy dogs, are we really surprised by any of this when the police have been happily pictured at PRIDE with males on leads, dressed in bondage, on all fours, pretending to be dogs (not sure what the BDSM term is for humans, generally men by the way, who self ID as S&M dogs, but there's bound to be one) but I think those male fetishists were also manning/dogging? the children's area at PRIDE, dressed up as entertainment).

BovaryX · 23/02/2020 13:24

Precisely. Her behaviour is completely unprofessional. She is promoting the agenda of a political lobby group. Are her superiors aware of her antics? Do the police understand why public confidence in them is at an all time low?

HandsOffMyRights · 23/02/2020 13:25

She seems to be based in Hendon where police training takes place for the MET. I think complaints would go via the MET.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 23/02/2020 13:26

Pups.

Do the police understand why public confidence in them is at an all time low?

They understand, but like they don't care

Lordfrontpaw · 23/02/2020 13:31

I hope her seniors see this - but then she will probably get a medal the way things are with the police forces these days.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 23/02/2020 13:34

I hope her seniors see this
She will get promoted and the police force will be given Stonewall honors.

People still seem to have this idea that all of these institutions have accidentally misunderstood what they are doing, and just need it highlighting to make them realise.

JeremyCorbynsTopLip · 23/02/2020 13:35

Aye so is this why it took two hours for the police to respond to a mugging i was witness to?

Lordfrontpaw · 23/02/2020 13:38

It took over three hours for police to come out to a mugging - with a gun - that we witnessed a couple of years back. The police seemed a bit miffed when they arrived at the hotel I had taken her to (opposite where she was mugged) and the victim had gone back to her hotel (she was a tourist).

borntobequiet · 23/02/2020 13:45

Well I’ve now got an ad from the Met Police telling me to look out for wrongdoers. I clicked by accident and it took me to their page with a Report section. So I think I will report this numpty.

Lordfrontpaw · 23/02/2020 13:53

Good idea. Someone filming in the ladies loos and sticking the film on twitter.

SerendipityJane · 23/02/2020 13:56

My biggest worry about police officers going into toilets is they seem to leave loaded guns lying around ...

HandsOffMyRights · 23/02/2020 13:56

Fair Cop are aware of this I can see on Twitter. They've been blocked by her!

SallyArmley · 23/02/2020 13:58

Touring toilets in support of Ramadam?
I think most Muslims know how to clean their bums already, prior to the woke Plod arriving in the bog.

Performing istinjaʾ does not invalidate the fast. Ok Officer Drivel?

Meanwhile, while back in the real world of Crime, the Mayor of Gotham City resorts to shining the Bat Signal on a cloud.

StealthMama · 23/02/2020 13:59

I've just sent a complaint to the met with the twitter link.

This police officer thinks it’s ok to video inside the women’s toilets at her place of work. Single sex spaces are currently protected under the equalities act yet she is promoting usage for trans women.

In my work place, filming of any sort inside the ladies toilets would be gross misconduct and I would be dismissed as a result.

Who is policing women’s safety, if it is not the police?

Personal belief systems have no place in the police. Protecting segregated spaces isn't transphobic, it's the law.

Suggest as many of you can do the same.

TheGreatWave · 23/02/2020 14:01

There's a word for this....oh yes voyeurism.

SerendipityJane · 23/02/2020 14:01

Suggest as many of you can do the same.

..and help them build up their "list of names" that much quicker ...

Apollo440 · 23/02/2020 14:13

WTF has Ramadan got to do with the price of fish? Other than no muslim woman will want to share a single sex space with a male no matter how they identify. Is she hanging around the toilets to report them for 'hate crime'?
