“Det Con Linge previously said Child Q had consented to the search, but admitted under cross-examination by Mr Gold that this was not accurate”

So they lied. They are a liar and they traumatized a child.

"Mr Gold asked whether she would accept that “a stereotype of black people is they may more likely be stopped and searched” and if she would accept that they are more likely to be “in receipt of use of force by police”.

Det Con Linge replied “no” to both questions.

The 46-year-old agreed there was no adult present in the room where the search happened who could have offered the child advice, assisted her in communication with police or ensured her rights were respected.

Det Con Linge also denied she “did not recognise Child Q as a child” and was, in effect, “treating her as older than she was”."

I’m so sorry for this poor girl, but I’m infuriated that these people are putting her through the trauma of this when they KNOW they are in the wrong. She needs justice. How any of these people still have jobs is beyond me.
