Scenario City

Interesting one, My mate has just spoke to me about this, Now then what crimes have actually been committed? Regards

Been discussing this blog post with my OH debating what I would do if I were the officer that came across the situation. I think that whilst the act was justified in that the dog survived there were better ways to deal with the situation especially off duty and not in uniform....

You get called to a house where the owner says he came back and just found a random car on his off road drive way ! he doesnt know who owns the car or why it is there.. What do you do ? what can he do about it ? james

You get called to a job that on the face of things seems to be make off without payment from a taxi. Upon arrival you sight a stationary taxi with the passenger (who is yet to pay) stood outside the vehicle arguing with the driver. The passenger is refusing to pay for the journey as they say the fare is unreasonable and despite your best efforts to resolve the situation sensibly the passenger is sticking to his guns. What offences could apply? On the face of things make off without payment could be the way to go however the passenger hasn't exactly made off, albeit they have exited the taxi. I suppose the question I'm asking is what constitutes "making off" ? The other…

You are called to the scene of a particularily nasty traffic accident, a car has hit a cyclist. The driver of the car is clearly very distressed by what has happened and the cyclist is in a serious "life changing" state. There is a woman with the cyclist who is extremely upset and you can assume is the wife of the injured cyclist, they had been out cycling together. A number of other police units arrived on the scene some minutes before you, as well as ambulance crews and a fire crew. There is quite a crowd gathering although no one is in the way of the emergency services all doing their respective jobs, but as you arrive you notice the crowd seems to be uneasy at the…

Were I work, we have a very uncomplicated one way system. That no customers seem to understand. They drive down the no entry route to nab the last few spaces before anyone else. The car park is owned by the landlords and the new system was put in by the company who look after the car park, tickets etc. My query is, if somone goes the wrong way round a carpark, or does any other 'questionable driving' on private property, is it an offence>

Johnny and Adam have a drunk argument. Johnny is carrying a laptop in a bag, which he drops to the floor in order to take a swing at Adam. Adam runs round the corner and Johnny chases him right into you. At this point both Johnny and Adam are suddenly overcome by the desire to settle their differences with a handshake and go to their homes, rather than make allegations and both get nicked. You sent them on their respective ways. Johnny gets half way home before he realises that he is no longer carrying his laptop, which he must have left in the street during the argument. He rushes back to the scene, but there's no sign of his computer. In actual fact it isn't even…

Hello all, During the last few Summers I worked Secuirty on a few Festivals. On one of these Festivals myself and three others were in the camera pit just infront of the main stage, and as some might know, in between the acts being on stage it gets quiet. During one of these quiet periods one of my colleagues drew my attention to a man, who was about in his late 40s early 50s, who seemed to be taking photos of young teenage girls. Long story short, I watched him do this over the next few days, he kept his distance, he had what I would call a professional camera which I assume had a good zoom, so he didnt get close enough to anyone to cause them alarm, but from what I pe…

I was looking for some sunglasses for when it gets a bit bright, like today. said something and one of my 'always trying to prove me wrong' friend chimes up, no suprise there, he thinks he's Jeremy Clarkson. So, if you bought a pair of shades, that were too dark to see anything what would be the offence? I'm thinking Carless Driving as you can't see what's going on in front of you. or is there something to dictate (like window tint) how dark they can be as it is all about visibilty.

A large event has a private security company securing the inside and the perimeter of the site. The site is one small part of a large private estate which the event is organised by. While the event is taking place, many members of the public attempt to breach the perimeter, unauthorised, a few succeed. When security find these indivividuals inside, or stop them outside, they are bundled into a landrover and taken to the very edge of the land owned by the estate and left at the side of the road, or they are driven to a large supermarket on an A road, not far from the edge of the land owned by the estate. Are any offences being committed here? If so, what?

Ok so you're on duty you take out your iPhone (other(less superior) brands of WiFi enabled smartphones available) you search for a free WiFi hotspot. You come across one but the name is less than polite. for example suggests that you should F off or something similar Any offences and what action would you take?

I was wondering what people would do in the following: Fire have been called to a flat that is heavily smoke logged in a block of flats. Upon arrival they look though the letterbox and see the smoke and a female present, they shout to open the door. Fire try to open the door but it has been obstructed in some way. Police arrive and perform a S.17 entry, this reveals that string has been tied behind the door to try and prevent entry. I was thinking Arson with intent to endanger life, however there is no proof of where the smoke came from and the female doesn't say anything in relation to this.

Something I encountered last night whilst traveling back on the tube. What would you do? You are sitting on the tube (one of the new Met line ones) after a long hard day at work (in civis) and the driver comes over the tannoy telling everyone to get onboard. With little warning the doors close. You are merrily on your way and engrossed in your book 'The Count of Monte Cristo' (essential for the story...), when you hear a number of bangs. You look up and a red faced man of about 35 years old is hitting his head backwards against the train window. He stands up, walks over to the train door and back-kicks it whilst mumbling incoherantly. You hear him say "######ing...."...s…

This happened to me on my way hone from duty. It is around 2320hrs on a summer evening and you are traveling along a very straight road with no rain or wind when your attention is drawn to a vehicle infront of you that appears to be driving below the speed limit and centring itself in the middle of the road and when going roynf corners is on the wrong side of the road. You call it in but due to your location the nearest patrols are over 10 miles away, you decide to follow the vehicle as at this point it has nearly colluded with another car, various bits of road side furniture and, as I've stated, is ob the wrong side of the road. You follow this vehicle for some 12 m…

I'm unsure if this has been posted before, but being the lazy guy that I am, I thought I would make a new topic. I just wondered: if you officers were on duty, not responding to anything, just being pro-active like you are, looking out for things. You notice an out or area ( TVP or essex police in London or any other example) marked up police car pass you going about 50mph in a 30mph area (no lights or priority sirens on) what would you do and why? I'm not trying to put anyone on the spot to criticise! this is just 100% curiosity! Do you pull them over? Can you pull them over by law? do you ignore it? do you take notes and look into it later? Thanks Mr Kipling
