Whilst I enjoy watching the series, mostly down to the excellent cast of the police force , I am beginning to wonder if PACE never got to the shetland islands. Officers wander down to the cells for an off the record chat with prisoners. People are pldetained in cells without belts and shoe laces being removed. Interviews are conducted without benefit of legal advice or recordings. Pèrez seems to disregard ALL rules of evidence and completely ignores the Fiscal as he decides who to charge or not to charge without reference to the Fiscal or any injured party.
This does not make it any the less watchable but it does seem that the writer is playing fast and loose with the law.
Even in Shetland!
