A police officer has potentially thrown his employer in disrepute, after photos taken earlier this year show him posing in a gang patch, according to an employment lawyer. Legislation banning the display of patches in public came into effect last week, with multiple arrests already made under the new law. Just days after the ban began, photos were leaked showing a police officer wearing what appears to be a Black Power patch over his uniform, Finn Blackwell reports.
