once you've got thames valley nick on your bum you're done up like a kipper sonny boy

Can you translate this sentence to American?

at the point you find the rozzers up your Jacksie you are essentially bang to rights my old pedigree

When you cop a flower pot and the filf are at your fife and drum, you’re done and dusted like Coleman’s mustard

as soon as the old bill starts sniffing around your Gary, you'll be doing a stretch in chokey, china

Stone the crows, governor! Once them river bobbies start houndin’ yer like a dog on a bone, you’re in for a right pickle, ain’t ya me ol’ mucker!

Didn't your people invent the language? Doesn't sound like any of youse got the memo

I'm not British but I think what they're trying to say is:
"once you've got thames valley on your ass you're about to be cooked"

Once you have the police from the region of Thames Valley investigating your private affairs you don't really stand much chance. you are more than likely to end up in prison.

Uh oh. I’m worried about this getting properly investigated.

I don’t know much about British policing, but I do know from watching Endeavour that the centralization of operations in the newly created Thames Valley Constabulary in the late ‘60s did not produce investigative efficiencies.

Hasn't he already been convicted in the court of public opinion? We don't need no investigation!

So...

Are you mad that there is an investigation?

Or that women made public allegations that resulted in an investigation?

Or that people have opinions over public allegations?

Because those are the only conclusions that I can draw from your comment.

There is a iota of a chance he is just an over excited comrade who really wants to man the guillotine?

Really? That's the only conclusions you can draw? Sucks to be you.

A person who had the courage to stand by their convictions would have gone on and told us what they meant.

It doesn't take courage to deny someone due process. Quite the opposite, actually.
