You're off duty in your favourite fast food restaurant when you see a marked van outside, the local SNT Sgt and a number of PCSOs out on patrol. A few PCSOs decide to go inside the restaurant and order some coffee. As they are on duty Police staff, the staff serve them free of charge. Are there any offences committed by the staff and PCSOs? If so what do you do: 1) Give words of advice to the offending party. 2) Report the matter later. 3) Have a word with the Sgt. 4) Turn a blind eye. 5) Something else.

I came across these videos on Youtube last night; they were part of a campaign by the Scottish Police Fed. a few years ago - some of you might even remember it. I've been thinking it through and I can't come up with an obvious answer (apart from the third one - pee/poo myself, hit the red button, spray, baton, pray...) 1. Car Crash, injured person, fuel leaking You arrive at the scene of an RTC. Vehicle is on its side, smoke/steam coming from the engine, and a 'liquid' leaking from the back. 1 injured person inside the car, bleeding from the head; you call it in to ask for help from ambulane/fire, try to reassure the man and see the large puddle of liquid that the c…

You're on public order duty in the NTE zone of a city and attend an incident where a male has just waved his belt around in the air, was taken to the floor by officers from another serial and was arrested to prevent a BOP. A sober MOP (party A) stands at a reasonable distance filming the incident at which point another MOP (party B) who happens to be drunk comes out of a nearby pub, accosts him and says to him "DON'T FILM THAT ****". Party A reminds me that he isn't doing anything wrong by filming to which party B explains that "IT'S NOT FAIR TO FILM THAT". This debate soon escalates into an argument with both parties calling each other names and party A soon loses his pa…

You arrive at the home address of a distressed mother who called to report that she and her children were alarmed and distressed by the window sticker displayed by a Norwich City FC fan depicting a Norwich City FC footballer urinating on an Ipswich Town FC shirt in the car park of a bowling alley. She shows you a picture that she took of the sticker, another one of the registration plate and another one showing both the sticker and plate. On the sticker the footballer's penis is shown. Any offences?

So a call comes in of a suspicious vehicle, the vehicle has a tail light out and Is silver. you are out having a scout to see what you can find and: your colleague says he sees a silver vehicle turning at the end of a side road (could possibly be it) but couldn't tell if the lights were working.... but you see a vehicle with a tail light out not too far ahead (but can't tell the colour)... Do you follow your nose or your colleagues, now this is a simple case of left or right, but I guess it depends on gut feeling. it's dark by the way

An MOP is given a section 35 notice by another officer and subsequently breaches it. Obviously you'll want to arrest that person for breaching a section 35 notice. What necessity do you use?

Your patrolling a busy home football match outside a local public house (located on private land) at which point an MOP begins filming the door staff. He is told rather loudly "NO PICTURES PLEASE" and asks if he is on private property. He is told that he is not on private property and carries on filming. He is then told that he is on private property and as a result the bouncer moves the camera away. The cameraman shakes a fist at a member of door staff and says "If you do that again, you're gonna get punched" before begrudgingly leaving the land. A colleague calls the man's attention and he carries on walking ignoring the officer. The officer then chases and grabs the ma…

It says on the gov.uk website as well as many others that if searching someone in a public place " A police officer can ask you to take off your coat, jacket or gloves". I was trained that to remove a hat the person had to be out of public view, for instance in a police van. How were /are others trained?

PCSO A and his colleague PCSO B, are on duty in the local town centre doing foot patrol duties at a busy event at which point they both notice a copblocker stood there with his phone out videoing them. They approach the copblocker and PCSO A asks him nicely why he is videoing them. He does not say anything in response. PCSO A removes the phone from the copblockers hand and says that he will have the copblocker arrested unless he cooperates. The copblocker calls his bluff and again makes it clear that he won't be answering PCSO A's question at which point PCSO A hands him his phone back. PCSO B then asks politely why the copblocker is filming and he again refuses to answer…
