Isn't a fair chunk of this against human rights and what not? I'd have thought that this is totally against the ECHR - which is still enforced today.
If he's been to trial and been proven innocent, I'd think someone within North Yorks Police might have a personal link to this case, this almost seems to be going beyond the call of duty? Typically getting a officer to spend lots of time looking into a case, especially one that doesn't involve financial loss, seems quite tricky. The question must surely be why are they investing so much time and effort into making this mans life a misery?
