Talk:Ali Dizaei

message: You can only get a retrial if the  facts about the dishonesty of a witness were unknown to you at the time of the original trial because a retrial involves bringing new evidence. This is what he is very very very (to the point of it being odd to mention it) stressing in the press conferences.  He said the witness was working for cash in hand to do his website - does anyone know for sure that he knew about the benefits fraud at the original trial?  There was something  in a newspaper article about this -does anyone have a link that establishes he knew about this at the original trial?? It might be useful to establish the real truth, which I'm sure Mr. Dezaei would want, being such an honest chap himself....  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.237.158 (talk) 18:30, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Retrial? 

message: Why is there no mention of his exempletery Police record for the 23 years up to his (dodgy) conviction for a false arrest?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.224.105.2 (talk) 09:41, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe you haven't read the third paragraph, which describes his service before he started to get himself mired in controversy? -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:48, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: His career was not exemplary, and he was finally convicted on serious charges.203.184.41.226 (talk) 00:37, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Racism 

message: I noticed in this article, while I was consulting it for a general enquiry, that there is a mere mention of an amount of money expressed in pounds sterling, yet the £ symbol has been hyperlinked to the article on pounds sterling. Isn't this OTT? Who is going to want to be taken to an article on pounds sterling while reading up on a police officer? Had the article been about, say, the economy, OK. I've noticed this seeming overenthusiasm to link within a number of articles, but I've put this observation here since it is one of them, and I hope Wiki regular editors and writers will pick up on it.

thread_title:  Unnecessary hyperlinking 

message: Note that Dizaei is still a police officer. He will almost certainly be dismissed, but he has not been dismissed yet. I'm getting rather tired of reverting supposition. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:47, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: From 1999, how much time did Mr Dizaei serve as an active police officer? And how does the promotion programme work in the UK Police Forces? 86.133.102.79 (talk) 21:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: To the first question, work it out. Suspended Jan 01 - Oct 03, and Sep 08 - Present. KTC (talk) 01:36, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Above Inspector rank, which along with Sergeant is reached by exam (minimum of two years before promotion to Sergeant, usually at least another two years before promotion to Inspector), promotion for those destined for the most senior ranks can often be very fast, with officers sometimes spending only a year or two in each rank before their next promotion. There are no hard and fast rules. Dizaei's promotion does, however, seem very rapid for somebody who continually attracted such controversy. Draw your own conclusions as to the reasons! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Is/was a police officer

message: There is no reference in the body of the article to the National Black Police Association, of which he was apparently president.  There should also be some explanation how an Iranian can be a member of the "Black" Police Association.  Incidentally, Ali Dizaei is described as having joing UK-Iranian citizenship.  I understand Iran does not allow joint nationality.203.184.41.226 (talk) 00:38, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
