Essex Police lose appeal over cop searching ex's new boyfriend
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
ESSEX Police lost an appeal yesterday against a decision that an officer who used the police database to look up his ex-partner's new boyfriend can keep his job.
Detective constable Ryan Burgess was given a final written warning for gross misconduct by a disciplinary panel in March.
The panel heard that Mr Burgess saw a car outside his former partner's home last June and searched for it on the national police computer.
