    Something I've been think about for a while now...ill stick it in a scenario: You stop mr smith. His car shows no insurance. You speak to him. He states he does have insurance with ABC Company. After hours so can't phone mib or the company. Based on what is said and your opinion he's let on his way as you believe him then. Decide next day to phone mib to confirm the insurance. ABC insurance say no insurance with them. They will provide statement saying that if needed. No producer issued. Can you summons the driver for the offence as your further investigation yields this offence?

    Hi, I was wondering what the correct code of conduct is for a Funeral procession, that goes past you. Do you salute, remove your hat, or both? Also, do the police still do marching drills as part of their training, because my dad hasn't been in the police for a while. Is it the same as Army marching/saluting? Thanks very much, JT

    Mr Goode is in a relationship with Miss Moody, they do not live together but Miss Moody often stays over at Mr Goode's house. One morning an arguement breaks out over something or the other, Mr Goode who normally gives Miss Moody a lift to work has been delayed by the arguement and will be late for work if he drops his beloved off as well, she agrees to get the bus to work. He says to her 'I'm off, make sure you lock the door on your way out' to which she replies (still being in a somewhat bad mood) 'No, I don't care if anyone breaks in!' On returning from work that evening Mr Goode finds the front door wide open, the house ransacked, and all his prized possess…

    Hello, fellow specials. It has been an interesting time here in the Third World lately. Here is a "what if?" scenario that played out for real for me: A few weeks ago, I was serving the public in pursuit of my hobby as a uniformed patrol constable, teamed with a regular. At an early part of our shift, control sends us to a public affray incident with multiple suspects of similar ethnicity knocking the stuffing out of each other in a public park. Using my discerning driving skills, we conduct our marked car to the scene of the scuffle, I park and we alight without the warring factions taking any notice of our blue lights and general rapid arrival at the scene of their co…

    Hello, newbie to the forum but I've checked PS.com out for a little while and finally become a member! I've been wracking my brains over this one after someone mentioned a scenario last shift I worked. You are on duty, and are approached by a mop that there is a "strong, strange smell coming from a building down the road". The building is a derelict block of flats. You saunter over to the building and recognise the smell of 'narbis. Power of entry? Is there a dedicated MDA power? I think I've read on here about other powers of entry and 117 of PACE has crept up...in this scenario lets say; Access to the site where the building is possible through a broken chain link fen…

    I was chatting to a family friend who is a regular and we were talking about his job and the type of stuff he has to deal with and one of them was a sixteen year old who had runaway from home and managed to get a flight to Italy. He was found a couple of days later by Italian Police and as he was a minor by Italian law he was put on a flight back to the UK. Apparently he was able to get through passport control at Gatwick airport and out of the terminal despite being reported missing. He was eventually picked up by Police who stopped and searched him and found out he was reported missing and was eventually returned home. I know under eighteens can not leave home unless …

    What would happen if a suspect facing trial had parts of his defence disclosed to the complainants and/or witnesses? Does that affect his rights to a fair trial?

    Rachel loves dogs. She goes out and gets a lovely golden retriever and trains it to be a well behaved and sociable animal. However, she is dismayed to find that shop owners, restauranteurs, publicans and bank managers do not like her dog and won't let "snuggles" in to their establishments. Rachel is annoyed by this. Snuggles is a good dog and she wants to spend all her time with him. So she comes up with a plan: she puts on some dark glasses, buys a White stick and pretends snuggled is her guide dog. All of the establishments have to let snuggles in now! Rachel can go about her business with her faithful fluffy companion... Any offences?

You know for example if you go to the United Kingdom Embasy in let's say Greece for the purpose of the scenerio, your technically on British Land, do Constable's have the authority to use there power's there? Before somone says 'why would you want to' etc, it isn't a matter of wanting to; but a matter of can you. Regard's Disco.

    Prior to carrying out a drugs search, you ask the usual "Have you got anything on you that can harm either you or me?" to which you get the reply "No". While patting him down, you get pricked with what turned out to be an uncapped needle. He smiles and says "Ooops, what a shame". You make your way to hospital and you colleague is left to deal. He subsequently finds 4 more sharps but no drugs or anything else illegal. Are there any offences?

    I have a scenario where an alleged victim has given a S9 statement. However, he has also given and signed a civil statement, which includes a statement of truth. The civil statement contradicts the S9 statement. Does it affect his credibility? Can the civil statement be used against him in criminal case?

    You are arriving back home late at night and decide to get a private hire taxi back from the station to save yourself a 20 minute walk. When the taxi arrives at the station, the driver is busily having a conversation on his hand-held mobile phone, and, on getting you inside pulls away whilst still talking. What would you do in this situation? And if you did ask him to stop, and he decided to ignore you would you then ID yourself as an off-duty officer and go down the reporting route? I'm interested as I occasionally do this, have had the driver on the phone, and am a little concerned of the questions that may be asked if the worst were to happen and an accident occurred …
