Hi, My neighbour thinks he is a lumberjack,, at the bottom of our gardens is a public footpath, like a country walk as beyond that is approx a quarter of a mile of wildlife and trees etc,, a couple of big, big trees grow up the back (but not in our property) not even into or overshadowing actually,, the trees in question are about 20-30 feet+ which he has totally destroyed. only half of the main trunk remains and all branches are lopped off in a very untidy fashion,, we phone the local police regarding another incedent and just happen to mention that (At that time) he was starting to again become very interested in the trees,, (we had to ask him to stop last year whi…

Hi all, are there any Firearms Licensing Officers, or people who can chat to them and pass on the advice? Im looking for advice on FAC applications for Deer rifles. Im not keen on posting any details really unless I know I'll get useful responses. Hope that doesnt sound rude of me! Any help much appreciated, either here or via PM. Cheers, Andrew

This seems to rear its ugly head every now and again I have tried to sanitise all that you will have to go to the page concerned to see links Two years in jail for 007 Police fantasist Now my reason for posting this is that I have come across some who over the years has made all sorts of claims about Military service and even lying about his father being a dead SAS hero. He claims to have served with the Royal Marines for 20 years and at the same time been in the Parachute Regiment and is also a Pathfinder, there probably isn't a war he hasn't served in and his medals include QGM, MM. Ok so a Military Walt might be harmless but he has set a group that raises money f…

I am a policeman serving in Cyprus and in the last few days there is an uproar in the public here, because the court has acquitted ten policemen. This is the story here story you see the person who had filmed the incident was afraid to appear in court and testify, instead he gave the video to the attorney general who in turn testified how he received the video. So i would like to ask you whether video is accepted as evidence in uk courts without the testimony of the person controlling the camera(s).

Just wondering, lets say you were driving along a section of road/motorway that was narrow/one way/lanes coned off etc and one of the emergency services was behind you with light's & siren on, is it ok to break the speed limit until you get to the nearest gap/spot where you can pull over to get out of their way?

Can a resident be done for drink driving while driving from a private club on the same private park that they? We live on a private Park Home estate with our own club. The licencee is also a resident. Can we be prosecuted if caught driving home from the club and found to be over the limit.

Hi I've read lots of different views on this question so came here in the hope of a definitive answer. Whats the law regarding driving to an MOT station ? I have a car thats been parked up over winter and want to put it back on the road, the MOT ran out last week, I thought it was in early April and still had time to tax it and take it for it's MOT. Would it be ok for me to drive it to my fathers garage which happens to be 90 miles away, (as I've moved house since last year), or is it a case of trailering it there. I believe you can drive to a pre-booked MOT but is 90 miles too far and should it be taxed, obviously I can't get tax without MOT. It is insured. Thanks …

I am on a public services course at college, most of my tutors are ex-coppers and most of the students in my class want to join the police including me. the other day I was think i was assaulted at college. not sure if it counts as "assault without injury" i'm hoping some officer can tell me. someone folded a piece of paper small, tight and hard and flicked it into my face with a large piece of elastic. it was recorded on a mobile phone. it was passed around and I was completely singled out everyone having a laugh at my expense. i tried to get them to let me see it but the owner of the phone pretended he deleted it (even showed me). later that day we were in class and …

Hi I'm posting to try and get some advice or opinions regarding something which happened to me a few months ago, but which is still causing me a huge amount of worry and stress. Basically, I paid to join an adult website which contained both a 'forum' area and also an archive of files submitted to the forum. These were sound recordings of people involved in sexual activity. Everything from the front page and throughout the forum appeared entirely legal, referenced adults, had clear disclaimers and statements that illegal material was not tolerated and had ICRA and RTA filtering labels attached. On looking through the lists of recordings in the archive area, I found…
