Scenario City

A more basic one, but just wanted some expert opinions on this one: --------------------------------------- Evening, you're on foot patrol, accompanied by another officer when you're approached by a member of the public coming out of a bar. The male MOP (A) tells you he has been punched in the face by another male (B), who he then points out. He is very upset, but entirely rational, and totally adamant to go ahead with the complaint, happy to go to court, etc. The two males do not previously know each other. There is no CCTV to verify the offence, no witnesses and the "suspect" male, when asked, says they had a crossed word over a spilled drink, but nothing more, noth…

OK a SILLY one Your patrolling a park and come across a group off youths that are causing no bother, but each has with him a bladed artical one has a hover mower, one a 10'' screw driver, one a pair of ice sates, one a(n electric) chain chain saw and one a ''blade'' of grass on strict reading of the statue each of these are illegal, so which if any are you carting of to the nick and why not any of the others 139 Offence of having article with blade or point in public place.E+W(1)Subject to subsections (4) and (5) below, any person who has an article to which this section applies with him in a public place shall be guilty of an offence. (2)Subject to subsection (3) be…

Here a thought that I have been musing on over night There are several ''officers'' on here who work in enforcement for Local authorities. And there have been quite a few discussion about dealing with ''offenders'' asking them if they admit to dropping litter, making statement for prosecution, obstruction etc. But thus far no mention of meeting the Provisions of PACE. Which as the enforcement officers are gathering '' criminal evidence '' Clearly apply to the situation So as an opening question, when you approach them and make a formal accusation of a '' crime'' ie ''you have dropped a fag end'',should you then cautioned them, that they do not have to say anything etc'…

Just a quick question. On duty which power can we use to gain access to a car to release a dog in distress? Section 17 maybe ? Off duty what would you suggest? Call it in and wait or anything else? Stormy

At no time does the TCM use physical force, raise her voice or block the males passage.So couple of questions for you, What offences (if any) does the male commit? What offences (if any) does the TCM commit? and how would you deal with the situation as the responding PC/SC?

I am anticipating this situation arises at some point in my career as a police officer and I wouldn't be too sure how to deal with it (although I am sure more would come to light after training). I would be in my local pub enjoying a pint with my dad. It is not a rowdy pub and sees many elderly gents pop in for a few beers in the evenings. Weekends get busier as there are a few youths who often visit. There are three troublesome brothers who often get stuck in to a fight with someone on weekends, 3 vs 1. Everyone is too afraid to approach and when even the biggest blokes have tried to pull them apart, before they've just been knocked down by one of the brothers while the…

I seen an old thread about the same type of subject but its over 3 years old, so I'm reopening it since things have probably changed. So i fractured my wrist last Sunday and now I'm having surgery on Monday. Here's my scenario; I wont being doing anything for two weeks after the surgery at which time I will most likely be going back to work. After those two weeks I will still be in a cast but should still be able to use my hand in the cast. If my doctors said my wrist healed enough,, if I could shift gear whilst issue and if my insurance agreed to still cover me would I still get pulled up if an officer noticed i was in a cast? In the old thread people were mentioning …

Not sure about TFL bylaws etc so thought I'd ask here Male gets on bus, taps oyster card and stands in the wheelchair space, as the bus pulls away he loudly asks for peoples attention and starts reading from the bible, nothing offensive or extreme just a touch loud and annoying, does his bit sits down and is quite for the rest of journey. Any offences?

Scenario is - police attend a house party 16-18 year olds to give words of advice regarding noise. Party goers then spill out on to the street. No direction to leave area designated. Police wish to move revellers on, some standing there in the road not necessarily causing BoP but refusing to disperse. How would you deal with this? Leave them to it? Use of force due to obstructing the highway? Any other powers?
