If he was in a cell they could 'keep tabs on him' looking through the peep-hole.......

He was on bail. If you put everyone in a cell from arrest to trial, we'd have to have police stations as big as small towns.
It would have been good if the Police had remembered to get the phone back when he was jailed.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Complete and utter joke, him and two fellow prisoners were running up a £250 a day bill and no one noticed for 6 months and no one was disciplined over it and they couldn't even prosecute the criminal, because they forget to get him to sign the acceptable usage contract!
And not the first time they wasted money on phones, nearly half a million over several years on a phone service they weren't using!==================================

Indeed, the real issue here is that the Police got in this situation in the first place. Amazing lack of both foresight and oversight on their part.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

And being on bail (if that was correct decision) means he needs a mobile phone why exactly.........

I think when they're on bail they're 'supposed' to report to the police where they are at set intervals.
However, now many police stations either aren't manned or don't have public access, those on bail just ring the police - hence since my local station closed for public access the police have placed a phone / intercom on the outside wall for those on bail to call in on.
I can only guess that the mobile was supposed to be used only for this?
Personally I think this is too easy a system - they're on bail so should have some 'inconvience' at least.
But then this softly, softly approach was the reason why, even way back in 1981, I could only stomach one year working as a probabtion assistant......I see no ships........

They don't care as they don't pay for it, we do. They'll just be embarrassed that it got into the public domain.
