Look Who's In Trouble Yet Again...

The fugitive son of a police sergeant is still being hunted three days after a court ordered his arrest over an assault.

'Fugitive son of a police officer, eh...? Surely not

Despite holding a warrant for his immediate detention, police have been unable to find 20-year-old Max Coopey who skipped bail and failed to appear in court on an assault charge on Tuesday.

God, I hope his parents put up the bail, and will now be liable! 

It was expected that officers from Thames Valley Police would go to the Coopey family’s £1 million home in The Burlings, Ascot, Berks. However, a spokesman for the Wimbledon court said today that Coopey had still not been found and arrested.
I smell a rat.

How on earth did he get away with the double murder in the first place? Oh, Police Sergeant father, ex-copper mother. Connections. £1M house? DOdgy in the extreme.

What rat can you smell? They probably did go to his house and he wasn't there or the parents wouldn't let them in. Unfortunately no power of entry for police in these circumstances, blame Parliament for tying our hands .
If you are implying local police are going easy because of his parents then you are very mistaken.
He seems like a real scrote , even having police parents doesn't guarantee decent kids.

@Jaded,

Perhaps it does guarantee that you walk away from a double murder!

Who mentioned smelling a rat?

Oh yes forgot about the house price....if you are implying they are corrupt because their house is worth a million pounds then have the courage to say it.
Perhaps they bought it 30 years ago and did it up? Perhaps Ascot is a very expensive area to live in?
I've got police friends in my town with houses worth that amount. It's not rare around here.

Jaded,
No power of entry? What about "Police may enter, if necessary by force, any premises where the offender is, or suspected to be." ?
If there is a warrant for his arrest, and those premises are his normal place of abode, that gives reasonable cause to suspect he may be there. If his parents object of try to stop the entry, there is always attempting to pervert the course of justice. Their present, or previous, professions are no shield to this behaviour, as I once proved to the custody Sgt after arresting a Sgt from a nearby division. Just don't expect any invitations to social gatherings, or back-up when you request it!

Gosh...the arresting ambience created by a mischief of Rats...

Penseivant...I assume you've been out of the job for a while? In practical terms you have be 100% sure the wanted person is inside. If the parents say he isn't home, you then force entry and he isn't there then that's a potential job loser. However he can't stay indoors for ever and he will be caught at work or down the pub (or driving over the limit)

Another point, whatever you think of this yob-he didn't commit murder. By constantly repeating that it doesn't make it correct.

Jaded,
16 years now and counting. However, I would think there are ways and means. Conversation rather than confrontation was a mantra given to me by my first Station Sgt, and one I followed throughout my Police service. Ask the parents questions. If, as has happened in the past, it was proved they were lying, the internal disciplinary procedure comes into play. I understand that, like me, you are now a successful member of the escape committee, but would you have risked your job, and your pension, by lying to operational Police officers? Accept nothing and challenge everything. Something that seems to be ignored these days.
SoT, Hi Melv,
Not an argument, a professional discussion between possible ex colleagues. Something you appear to have no concept of.

I'm curious as to how the mother is no longer with the Met - embarrassment?, but never mind.
Once he is found wouldn't it be nice if he was to be arrested and remanded in custody rather than on bail? Preferably the remand section of a nasty prison.

@Penseivat:
Conversation requires both sides to want to engage, and given the basic wrongness of this creature, I'd be very surprised if his parents would want to.

Insofar as they provoke involuntary responses to literacy-challenged posts, I find myself confined to the cavernous yawn and the muted chuckle, Penise.

That single GCE 'O' Level in Basket Weaving, shines through the shite like an ever-present beacon.

The apple seldom falls so far from the tree...

"Another point, whatever you think of this yob-he didn't commit murder."

Not buy the standards of out debased justice system, no. But in the real world...

"Once he is found wouldn't it be nice if he was to be arrested and remanded in custody rather than on bail?"

I would expect that to be a given?
