    I'm 21 and am writing my dissertation on freedom and liberty, as part of this I was just wondering if there will be any information available to police officers about me, stored on computer, such as the police national records. For example, when I was a kid, around 16, I went to the houses of Parliament on a school trip. Being from York and a very outdoors type kid I forgot that I had a penknife in my pocket, upon realising this I immediately handed it over to an officer. He then proceeded to arrest me believing the knife to be dangerous, took me down to the Houses of Parliament basement, and took my name. I told him that I was just a kid from York that spent a lot of tim…

    Had Sherriff Officers at my door this morning, giving me a summons, regarding a traffic accident I had been involved in last yaer, the insurance have been fighting for about 1 year now and nothing has came out of it, so hes taking me to the small claims court. Just a question, had I be found at fault in the small claims court - my insurance would be paying the damages to his car, is this correct? My insurance companys solicitors told me to post them the summons, but I am correct in thinking that they will represent me also?

    I am not police, just curious: If a police force issues its officers with, say for example, ASP Batons, can you buy a different baton for your patrol use, say a Casco? Or does each force require you to only use the issued equipment? Reason I ask is cos the patrol store on this site has all sorts of stuff, and I was wondering what leeway individual offficers have with regard to kit. Like some of the attachments for the ASP batons etc... Also, if you are issued a 21 inch baton, can you buy your own, larger version eg. 26 inch? thanks

    Why don't horse riders have to clear up their horses cr@p! I live a in a rural area, if my dog ****s all over the path or road, I would understandably be expected to clear it up or face a fine. Why don't horses and their riders have to live by similar rules? OK, granted they would need a massive poop-a-scoopa, but thats what you get if you feed an animal a fibre diet! :) I also think they should have to have road tax on horses too, they give off harmful emissions too. Not sure which band of C02 they would fall into though. I might be struggling to get horses taxed, but the poo problem needs addresssing, right? :shock:

    Hi, :-) I'm not a police officer, I am after some advice if i may. I work for a very well known chewing gum company. There is a young girl who has worked at the company for about 2 years now. I am not that close to her like i am other colleagues but i do have a good chat over lunch sometimes. She was telling me yesterday how she has bought a number of police clothing items over ebay such as a stab vest, yellow jacket, shirt/tie etc.... She said she has bought these so she can put them on and feel like a officer and make people think she is one. I asked her why she hadn't applied to the police if she wants that and she replied that she thinks she does not have the confi…

    Just wondering I'm sure a lot of you have had people who will admit to something but not so much as actually admitting it legally. i.e YOU: A person was beaten up this morning SUSPECT: Dear oh dear, I heard about that, he did mouth off to a lot of people. Not wise is it. Someone might have taken it into their own hands. Just wondering what you do because these people are smart if nothing else, and know how much to say and what not to say.

    Not sure if this would be the right section for this but here it goes A friend of mine passed his driving text 16 months ago. He rang me yesterday to say he was caught "contravening red traffic light". This was from a fixed camera, he has tried to say he couldnt stop in time and he saw the camera flash and wasn't sure if it was him, now he knows it was! Anyway, it will be his first 3 points on his licence, am i right in saying it's 6 points in the first 2 years of passing you have to re-take? Not 3 points? Ok, anyway he told me he is going to send a anonymous letter to the return address saying they should "shove the cameras where the sun doesn't shine", i have told hi…

    Please can any fellow officers clean this matter up for me so at least I can regain a peace of mind over this matter. Please advise whether the incident below could have be dealt with just a speaking to to both parties concerned. Myself and another officer assisted a Section mobile to a call where 2 persons were seen fighting in the street. On arrival there was no fight except there was one of the persons involved present on the pavement. This person made a complaint against a another male after being assaulted by that male. He gave a valid description and saw the male run into a nearby house. He made it clear to us that he didnt want to make a complaint. He did as…

    Hello, I ordered an item which went missing in the post. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement. The replacement arrived then the original arrived the next day! I contacted the company who sent someone to collect the item but when they arrived they said that I had to put the address on it and they would come back to collect it later. I put the address on the item and it is still here 7 months later. Can I dispose of the item now? They have had every opportunity to collect it. (The item does have a value)
