ridiculed by colleagues and forced to resign, gets $700,000 payout

Extreme weather continues, lots more flooding in other parts of the country. Cold and wet and high winds again but fortunately, no floods in this general area.

Going back at least 11 months for this. Maybe you remember the video. ??

Well, just to recap briefly.  The old boy driving the car, claimed that the reason he did not stop when he noticed the flashing blue lights, was because he thought cops were after someone else as he was driving, he claimed, the correct limit.  So cop car finally gets him to stop and one cop especially loses it and trashes the old man’s car.  So why is it news 11 months later?

Here’s why.

In American dollars that works out to:  $702,461.81

My £430,000 payout is massive - but I DESERVE it’: Ex-policeman ‘ridiculed out of job’ over internet video of him smashing up pensioner’s Range Rover says attack was ‘not over the top’

PC Mike Baillon and a colleague were filmed using truncheons on windows of Range Rover in 2009 and clip was watched 30million times online
They had pursued the car after the driver, 74, made off from earlier stop
Mr Baillon won the six-figure sum from Gwent Police for loss of his pension
He accepted that the figure was ‘an awful lot’, but defended his conduct
Said the footage is ‘shocking’ but ‘perfectly acceptable’ in context
Added he will never be policeman again, and that new business is struggling

By Kieran Corcoran

The police officer who was awarded a £430,000 payout after he was filmed smashing a pensioner’s car window with a metal baton has conceded that the award is a ‘massive’ amount of money.

PC Mike Baillon, 47, who served with Gwent Police as a traffic officer, became a viral sensation after a two-minute clip of the incident was uploaded to the internet.

He said that he was ridiculed by colleagues following the incident and was forced to resign after senior officers removed him from frontline duties.

Mr Baillon can be seen in the footage hitting the window of a Range Rover 15 times at the conclusion of a 17-minute police chase, while a colleague stood on the car’s bonnet and kicked in its windscreen.

The driver, 74-year-old stroke victim Robert Whatley, has since described the payout as ‘totally unreasonable’.

Speaking today in the wake of the tribunal ruling, against which Gwent Police appealed unsuccessfully, Mr Baillon admitted that the lump sum was ‘an awful lot of money’, but less than he would have been able to earn as a serving officer.

He said: ‘It’s a lot of money, but when you consider that that’s ten years net salary, it’s about seven years of gross salary and then there’s no pension.

It goes nowhere near to replacing what I would have had had I been allowed to carry on in my job’, he told Radio 5 live.

Justifying the huge payout, which is mainly to replace his pension, he said: ‘A police pension is a very valuable asset to a police officer – we pay a lot of money into it and equally we get a lot of money out of it.

‘And in order to try and replace that with a private pension is nigh on impossible.

‘For the figure of £429,000 they had actuaries work out what sum I would need to invest today to achieve the same benefits to what I would have had on my date of retirement, had I been allowed to carry on through the police.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
