A SCOTLAND Yard cop has been sacked for using his police-issue mobile to score drugs.

The detective constable, 39, was a heavy cannabis user who ordered supplies from a dealer near his home in Enfield, North London, with the phone.

He also illegally searched the police computer fives times to find out if colleagues had his dealer under surveillance.

Anti-corruption officers arrested him after his work number was found on the crook's phone during a drug bust.

A source said: "He is a disgrace to his uniform."

The case is an embarrassment to new Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe's "war on crime".

Mr Hogan-Howe recently ordered 4,000 officers to "put the doors in" on London's dealers.

The detective, who cannot be named, was fined £1,000 and told to pay £215 costs after admitting breach of data protection at Westminster Magistrates' Court. He was sacked at a disciplinary hearing in December.

I see no real punishment other than losing his job and being fined. Disgrace, but a sly fox he was none the less
 
I bet he got a shit load of free weed though for pretty much safe guarding his dealer.

There was a case a year or so ago when a police officer gave a Drug Dealer / Taxer (goes around fucking up and taxing all the smaller dealers), a big list of all the people under surveillance in the area, and he recieved like a brand new BMW and like £15k cash in return. ;)
