Unfortunately you still haven't answered my question that if they are so unreliable then why keep them at all? I also disagree with you. The logs are an indication as to what actually happened and should be and usually are produced in court for that specific purpose. That is also why the audio tapes were used that day as well. They were concrete evidence to what actually happened. But they have gone missing for some reason possibly held under PII? No Witness statements are not proof that actually happened as such things can be altered to suit anyone who wants to alter them. That is why I find it strange that these tapes were not produced in court? But you know what I find really strange, is the fact that for someone who states that he is a stickler for the "TRUTH" you do not even appear to be curious about these things and just simply believe the police just because they are the police.
The whole reason audio tapes are kept is in case there is some problem or dispute and they need their ass covered. The main purpose is so that there is a record of a call by the public but to some extent police as well if there is some issue.
The log is simply to have a genral idea of an incident. An incident doesn't always end in an investigation. Incidents often end in nothing and being closed rapidly.
Jeremy supporters have lied up and down and trhough their teeth about every aspect of the investigation and case. Jeremy supporters insisted that the fire team was using walking talkies throughout the entire exercise and ever single thing they said was being taped. Phone calls to HQ were taped. The fire team fed information to people outside who then used their police radios to contact HQ and such was not being taped. Phone calls are taped not walkie talkie messages.
So parts of the log that you harp on were radio calls from police cars at the scene back to HQ. DO those logs indicate where the weapon was found? Do they name the victims and say where each victim was found? What level of detail do they provide? Very limited. The log is not by any stretch a complete acocunt and record of every detail encountered by police it is the general details necessary for the incident log.
Participants write in their notes, statements, affidavits and also verbally testify about what they observed. That is how things always work an incident log is not used for such.
Historians and especially courts like first person accounts and want to actually be able to question peopel to be able to get them to explain exactly what historians and courts need to know. Not only do written statements often fail to address issues of concenr they are often ambiguous. In order to understand exactly what is being claimed yo uneed to be able to question them and ask them point blank and have them clarify further if they answer an an ambiguous manner.
That is why lawyers depose witnesses and then question them on the stand.
When people don't want the truth that is when they want to avoid questions being answered and instead rely exclusively on writings as they try to spin what thos ewritings mean in an attempt to fool people.
That's exaclty what is going on with the log trying to fool peopel into thinking there really was 2 peopel in the kitchen and a body moved though it is patently clear that was not the case and even insisting the log says Sheila was in the kitchen though it never names her or mentions a gun in the kithcen or gunman in the kitchen.
WOrse even Jeremy would have heard a shot fired at her in the kitchen by police not jsut the other police outside who were making the radio calls. You are the one who needs to wake up and smell the coffee not me.
In some cases it also burns them such as when their response is slow
