Scenario City

Hello all, Living in London I've been blessed with many horrible experiences with drivers who really shouldn't have a licence. The most common issue I see is drivers who are on the phone and driving very fast/aggressively at the same time - whats the proper channel to notify the police about this, if at all? I'm sure the police have better things to do, and I guess you probably can't do anything until you've seen the driver commit the offence, but I'd just appreciate some clarification. This was inspired by seeing two men (who were crossing the road) almost get hit by a driver who was driving very fast with headlights off while on his phone. Quite scary to think he's ju…

So this scenario was put to me and now its got me pondering. No training for two weeks so i can't ask my trainer and its niggling at me and will annoy me until then so i wonder if you guys can help? Company A are a window fitting company, they have been asked by a builder on behalf of customer B to quote to fit some windows in a house renovation, they quote from a set of plans and then they are selected by customer B as the most competitive. (At this point i can see the agreement is between Customer B and company A and builder is out of the loop) The company come to the property and have a real measure up of the windows and adjust the price based on their site survery.…

Well I was out shopping with my mrs and her friend being dragged round new look and they spot this very interesting handbag...... link The "finger loops" actually fit round your fingers so you basically have a knuckle duster with a bag attached. I know this was only made to look pretty and purely for the design... but my concern is that it might be used for other reasons. my question is whether you would class this as an offensive weapon or not? And also... For the men.... A knuckle duster belt buckle that is made to scale and able to fit in someone's hand... offensive weapon or not? Discuss lol

If you were a sworn in officer, what would you do in this situation? Sat at the local hand car wash on the comfy camping stools, you are gazing apathetically across the forecourt. A shoddy old Astra pulls up 6 to 8 feet away from you, directly in front of you to use the free water. The driver has parked with the wheels slightly turned. You notice that the tread was extremely low, prob less than 1mm. There is 1 male (driver), 1 female passenger and 1 baby, all properly restrained in the car. You are off duty, and your car is currently in the care of the wash employees. Thoughts?

If I used my Blackberry to check a car that I wanted to buy if found out I would be kicked out and could face a day in court, but if I pay mycarcheck.com who claim to and pay £4.99 it's ok, How? And Why?

John is walking home after a good night out and mellow. He is approached by two males, also apparently in drink. They exchange pleasantries, there is a little banter over the day's football results and the males part. There's a bit of male contact - patting on the back, shaking of hands, even a quick embrace as the three males part company. At no point has any threat or violence been offered by the two males, but John later realises that he is missing his wallet, watch and mobile phone. John realises the males weren't in drink at all, and the male contact was them picking his pocket and removing his watch. Assuming he calls the police as soon as he realises, what would …

When I was a student, my hall of residence was lucky enough to have its own licenced bar, which saw plenty of action during parties. The students in the hall next to us weren't quite so lucky, but they had a ruse they for providing alcohol during their parties. At the time it seemed extremely ingenious, but in hindsight I can't believe that it was legal. What they would do is buy a load of beer and hold a tombola. Upon handing over a pound, each thirsty student was allowed to take one ball from the tombola and if the number on his ball matched one of those on a list then he won a beer. The idea was that they weren't selling alcohol, just offering it as a prize (as ma…

You've approached a male on a Saturday night who is hanging about in a church forcourt, he automatically becomes agitated and upset that you have come over to speak to him, refuses to give you ID etc. The Church forcourt is a renowned area for drug dealing on a Fri and Sat night sue to it being dark and hidden by trees. Based on this and his behaviour you have the grounds to search him. You give the male GOWISELY and he straight up refuses, accuses you of being racist, should have done more to prevent the riots etc. What power do you arrest him under so he can be searched back at the station?

I got sent details of my crash on the 29/12/10 by the solicitors dealing with the claim.. However, the details i got weren't mine, it had my name on it but the addresses of the defendant and plaintiff were2 completely different people.. The crash details, number plates, roads etc were all wrong relating to another crash. Surely this is some sort of breach of data or what not with all the info i got.. Have the solicitors broken any laws at all?

I've been familiarising myself with IDCOPPLAN and was wondering if anyone could assist me in this following scenario: You're on patrol when there are reports of a fight going on at a local pub. You attend and split two males up who are on the floor in a scuffle, and start asking them what happened. The person you're talking to states that the other male has been seeing his girlfriend behind his back and he's extremely angry, and he keeps trying to get past you to get at him, all while shouting threats at the other. He is obviously very drunk. He's happy to tell you what went on but refuses to give his name, address or any other details. You chat with your collegue who te…

DAWSON is a youth worker and, while checking the Youth Club premises, finds a packet containing herbal cannabis hidden behind the cistern in the lavatory. He puts it in his pocket to prevent any of the children getting it. He intends to take it to the police on his way home. He goes to dinner that evening and in conversation with KYLE, his guest, he mentions the cannabis. KYLE immediately tells him not to give it to the police. She says that she will pay for the meal if DAWSON gives her the drugs, as she can pass it on to a friend of hers who has multiple sclerosis and uses cannabis for pain relief. DAWSON agrees and hands over the drugs. Who has committed what offences,…

I know there has been a couple of topics on this, but they are from quite a while ago and I'm interested in hearing what specials (and regulars) from the police think about these non-noxious defence sprays, and if you've ever come across them on a search. I'm a MOP, and my EDC (Every day carry) includes a canister of Farb Gel spray. It falls outside the scope of the firearms legislation. It is not classed as an offensive weapon as it is not made, adapted or intended to cause injury. As a tactical option, it's not that great, but it's the best the law allows for MOP's. In the other threads, there was an opinion that it shouldn't be carried because someone might abuse it. …

It's a question that I've encountered a number of times but only just realised that I could ask here. D is driving aware that he is intoxicated and most likely over the limit. He is involved in an incident, perhaps an RTA, where there is a delay between the incident and the police arriving. In that delay, he drinks from a hip flask or bottle so that he can tell police when they arrive that he had a drink for his nerves AFTER driving, and was not over the limit whilst in control of the vehicle. He says he does not know how much was in the bottle before he drank after the crash, so it cannot be calculated what his blood alcohol level would have been pre-crash. How would y…

I was reading the other thread about ID'ing after purchasing alcohol. It got me thinking since I have seen a nightclub do this Let someone into the club, let them pay the entrance fee of £8 then ID them as soon as they have paid, if they have no ID then they get chucked out. any offences?

Something that has been confusing me for a while now, I'm hoping somebody on here can help! A young man walks into a shop. We'll say he is 17 for the purposes of this. He buys a can of cider and the person serving him does not ask him to produce proof of age. After he has paid and is leaving the shop, the shop assistant asks to see some proof of age. The young man walks out saying "too late, you've already sold me the alcohol". Is it correct to assume that as soon as the transaction has been completed the shop assistant has broken the law (and I am aware the young man has before anyone points that out) regardless of any actions taken after that point?
