PC Smith comes across Joe Bloggs causing a nuisance by standing in the doorway of a local nightclub and arguing with security staff. Joe has been barred from the club and is not allowed to enter. Security have told Joe this but he is just being abusive to them, and refusing to step out of the doorway. PC Smith tries to convince Joe to go to another venue, but he refuses. He also swears at PC Smith. PC Smith then takes hold of Joe and physically drags him out of the doorway. Whilst doing this Joe punches PC Smith on the arm. What power has PC Smith used to lay hands on Joe? If acting under a power (and therefor lawfully) Joe is guilty of assault on police, right? Sen…

Link to the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISEdGOeiXIg] ^ Please watch the above video: I know this is a civil matter (car park etc), however what I would like to know is if the Parking attendant felt that the person taking pictures of his car and number plate and by the very nature of his job he felt this action has caused him harassment, alarm or distress would this give cause for public order? Again car park is both public and private, or am I reading this incorrectly? Regards,

This rubber training weapon was previously available to purchase through Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BC4QMCS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It appears to be based on the Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Pro Series: https://www.smith-wesson.com/firearms/performance-centre-mp-9-pro-series Is it an imitation firearm or a realistic imitation firearm? Is there a lawful method of transporting it without committing the offence of carrying a firearm in a public place (S. 19(d) Firearms Act 1968)?

Someone is causing a disturbance by loudly shouting in the street during an argument with his girl friend on the end of the phone. The street goes past a bowling alley and cinema meaning that there are children as young as five walking past who are forced to witness his behaviour. Consequently MOPs tell him to "shut up". He loudly tells them to go "**** yourselves" and at least one of them telephones 101 to report the mans behaviour. You arrive on scene and take his details under section 50 of the Police Reform Act as you didnt witness his swearing to which he loudly replies "You can **** off. I do not consent. I do not consent.". You warn him about his conduct and inform…

Bob is an ambulance technician who has had his training for driving with blues and twos at speed. However Bob no longer works for the NHS anymore and is self employed. Bob being handy with electronics has set his work van up with blue flashing lights and sirens, he even has a radio scanner installed (like taxis have) On this occasion Bob was seen driving with his blues on at speed and was requested to stop by police. Bob failed to stop and made off abandoning his vehicle. With apart from the obvious driving offences of failing to stop, is there any for the use of the blues for someone who was once / or is trained to drive in such a way?

Bob parks his car on private land, and an agent of the landowner charged with parking enforcement on the land comes along a short while later and clamps it leaving a notice on the windscreen requiring payment of £150 to take the clamp off. When Bob comes back to the car he spots the clamp and knowing clamping has been outlawed (by the Protection of Freedoms Act) he removes it by breaking the padlock, leaves the clamp on the ground and drives off. Has Bob committed criminal damage or not? Have any other offences occurred?

Back in the 1970s. My mate was having his bike stollen one priece at a time. Every morning he would go out and find his head light or his seat missing etal. So he wired it to the mains. He was awoken by a scream, but when he ran to the garden, theyhad gone, never to return. Now clearly electrocution of bike thieves might get you in trouble in this day and age. But how about this ?http://www.mslmagazine.co.uk/skunklock-fights-back-new-bike-lock-makes-thieves-vomit/ Smelly lock, its designed to release noxious chemicals on to the thief and is being advertised for sake in the UK. My inial instinct is it potenialy illegal. What the view here?

Billy is retired, he spends his days pottering in his garden and taking his dog for a walk . however an old leg injury is playing up and he finds it increasingly difficult to walk to the park, let alone round it and little fido is starting to suffer. Billy considers buying a mobility scooter but the pension won't run that far. So he goes and diggs in the garage and find the scooter his daughter had back in the day, not one of the modern ones with tiny littlewheels, but a dulux one with pump up tyres and front and back brakes. He bolts a model aeroplane enging on the back and a friction drive onto the back tyre. And he is mobile again. Poping along at 3mp. He and…

Hi everyone, Need a bit of advice. Recently moved into a flat and I've checked my post box which has a copious amount of post addressed to the previous occupant, ie energy bills, NHS letters, potentially debt collection letters, amongst other things. My question is, what is the proper process with dealing with these? Am I entitled to destroy them? Should I pass them onto the letting agency to forward onto the former occupant? Was wondering if there is anything in legislation that may pull the rug from under me if I did dispose of the letters. Many thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-G900F using the Police Community App

Back in the wild days of the internet it was quite common, though illegal, to piggy back wifi as very few people bothered to encript their signal. unscrupulous travellers who suddenly found they had to send/receive an email would drive into a housing estate and drive round till that got a unlocked signal and proceed to use it. There was at least one prosecution for it at the time. Leap forward 15 years and I find myself faced with a moral and legal dilemma. As walk across the city centre my phone bombards me with with notifications of wifi. Some of these are identifiable to a specific business, like a coffee house or a restaurant, other are just there and not easily…

This seems to be another american import making it's way over here, and social media is going crazy, there was (now removed) 'killer clown' social media pages where they told folk where they were going to 'strike' next. It's only a matter before they jump out on someone, that someone hits them in self defence, afterall if someone jumps at you from behind a bush/wall etc right into you, you're instinctively going to react.

You pull the graveyard shift and get a call to respond to a loud teenage party at 0100. A neighbour has complained that she and her children aren't able to sleep. When you arrive, you enter the property almost unseen, and in the commotion you find a teenage female with several stab wounds lying on the floor. How do you proceed?
