This comes from the Her Majesty's Stationery Office so it has to be considered authoritative. It should also be conclusive. It is good law in that it acts against abuse of official power, recognising that Jack in Office is a tyrant.

Married Policeman Screwed A Customer While On The Job [ 29 April 2017 ]
QUOTE
A married detective constable who had sex with a suspect at a police station during an eight-month affair was jailed for four months today. Grant McPherson, 37, had sex with student Jessica Lorenzin, 20, at hotels and they even had a threesome in a spa.McPherson gave her his number after interviewing her at Charing Cross police station in London in October 2015 for allegedly causing criminal damage to the door to her home in Earls Court.........
The detective from Glasgow was given four months in jail for one count of misconduct while in a public office...........
He pleaded guilty to misconduct in a public officer [ sic ] in March, and was nearly denied bail after turning up drunk at the court.
UNQUOTE
Turning up at court drunk was a clever move; it played to the sympathy vote and it worked. Judges & the Crown Prosecution Service do not like this bit of law; Misconduct In Public Office is major crime but only for little people. Serious rogues like Blair, Brown & Cameron get a pass for their War Crimes, their Treason etc. because they are in The Establishment.
