Human rights 'loopholes' condemned

A senior police officer has launched a scathing attack on the use of the Human Rights Act by murderers and rapists to protect themselves from UK law.

Detective Chief Superintendent Chris Gregg said dangerous criminals were trying to use the legislation to complain about their own human rights being breached.

Mr Gregg was speaking out just days before he leaves his post as head of West Yorkshire Police's Homicide and Major Enquiry Team (HMET) to take up a senior position with LGC Forensics, one of the biggest forensic science service providers in the country.
