Episode notes

An individual ran for the position of Cleveland Police Commissioner, stating that his motivation was not revenge but rather his unique set of skills and experience. Despite not questioning the court justice system, he pointed out that the efficacy of the system depends on the evidence presented. He highlighted that while he was found guilty under the judicial system, he was also exonerated by it, emphasizing that the system itself works, with the fault lying with the individuals within the system.

Sultan Alam was the first Pakistani officer to join the traffic department of the Cleveland Police in the UK. He was harassed at work and complained to his senior officers about it. Then his coworkers showed up at his house to arrest him.
