It is alleged that, in a bid to cover his tracks, Doherty then falsified a Wikileaks document of members of the extreme right British National Party (BNP) to include Mr Hardy's name and address.
But a disciplinary hearing heard he was caught out by investigating officers who said he had 'not done a very good job at preparing the false document'.
Oh..?
The rows of the spreadsheet did not line up, inverted commas on the faked entry were missing and Inspector Doherty added an address for Mr Hardy that he did not live at when the spreadsheet was produced, the hearing was told.
/facepalm
Panel members were told how the alleged deceit was considered so serious that he was arrested, his home searched and electronic equipment seized.
He could not explain how he came by the spreadsheet, and allegedly claimed he had shredded and burnt the hard copy in a burner in his garden and had deleted the electronic version of it from a USB stick.
As you would...
Inspector Doherty denies breaching the standards of professional behaviour in respect of authority, respect and courtesy, confidentiality, orders and instructions and discreditable conduct.
Do they only catch the incompetent ones? To think 'Line Of Duty' has been lying to us all these years...
