    Department of Transport advice A new regulation comes into force on 1 December 2003, making it a specific offence to use a hand-held phone, or similar device, when driving. The penalty is a £30 fixed penalty or up to £1,000 on conviction in court (£2,500 for drivers of goods vehicles, buses or coaches). Drivers still risk prosecution (for failure to have proper control) if they use hands-free phones when driving. Q1. What does the regulation say about hand-held phones The use of a hand-held phone or similar hand-held device while driving will be prohibited. A hand-held device is something that "is or must be held at some point during the course of making or receiv…

    I've started a new thread because i felt the last one was getting too long. But click on to the link below to see where i started here on the forum if you wish. http://www.police-recruitment.com/one2/php...pic.php?t=18535 I'll start this one with some pictures, like the last one - most people agree they say so much. They are with reference to our 9 minutes of death threats perpetrated by our nextdoor neighbour's son. He knows we are in our fifties and that my husband is registered disabled with spinal damage, which i spoke about in my previous thread attached, so i'd say that's why he looked like he was fairly safe. Notice the numbers on the video they are counted …

    Is it correct that to arrest someone for using racially abusive language language, the victim themselves has to make the complaint? Also does the same apply if its threatening language? Can a witness (ie the doorsupervisor physically stopping the threat from being carried out) make a complaint?!

    Sorry couldn't think of a good subject title, Basically, can i supervise my girlfriend, who's a learner driver and insured on my car, to drive me to and from the pub so i can have a few drinks? Obviously im not going to get hammered because that's common sense - but if I have say 2 or 3 pints would that render me incapable of proper supervision in the eyes of the law? Thanks.

    I recently had a accident in my vehicle, a moped went into the back of me, i have gone to speak and give a statement to a lovely officer, I was then asked to bring my MOT cert and insurance details to the receptionist within 6 days. I arrived at the police station on the 2nd day of the 6 days remaining, and produced my documents to the recptionist, my insurance cert had expired but stated it would be automaticaly be renewed. The receptionist was very abrupt with me and treated me like i had committed a crime or something and talked to me as if i was stupid and would not let me finish explaining that they were in the post, she then said she has got to caution me for not …

    Can you let me know the law for a private house putting CCTV up to keep an eye on their cars parked outside their house? The CCTV will go beyond the boundary of their own front garden in order to see their car on the road. Is this legal? Thank you.

    A so called friend of my mum stole a blank cheque out of my cheque book, forged my signature and managed to whip £800 out of my bank. Luckily the day it cleared I checked my account so managed to get all the money back. The bank knows about it and all things that side have been taken care of. I want to report him but don't know how to go about it because i've never needed to go to the police about anything before... so I suppose I was just wondering what happens from now, with regards to reporting him and what action I can take. I know this isn't the first time he stole from anyone because on the copy of the cheque there was a phone number on the back of it, which I…

    Hi, I'm new here today, I hope i am in the right place. I have had an ogoing problem for 7 years with nextdoor neighbours, whose house is actually 70 yards away. Six years ago the Police became involved asking me to install all round, 24 hour CCTV video surveillance equipment, which i have. I have given the Police numerous videos of my neighbours causing criminal damage, harrassment, trespass, abuse, constant hand gestures, obstruction to our drive, and a lengthy physical assault on my husband, who is registered disabled - to name a few things. But the Police refuse to take action against them, as far as we are aware. In all of this my neighbours have had one £80:0…

    Hello all, just a quick question. My missus was involved in a collision yesterday afternoon at a junction. She was trying to make a right turn onto a road, but there was a lot of vehicles parked on either side of the road. With the poor visablity edged out to get a better view and when she thought there was no cars around moved out into the road. A car hit her in her rear right hand side of the car (pretty much the back door). She recalls the car not breaking till late and was sure he was speeding. They moved the cars to safer places and waited for the police to arrive. My missus told the officer what i have mentioned but was not asked to give a statement. She t…

    Hi all, I'm on leave at the moment and I've just been contacted to say that due to some administrative error I am now the OIC of a case where all I did was assist taking the arrested person to custody with the arresting officer! I've got a court warning to attend the day after I return from leave, and I've been told the suspect is going to plead guiltyto a public order offence, but will give reasons for doing so. There is a stated case to this, which begins with 'N' but I can't what it was called!

    Hi, Hope this all makes sense - My son was out one night in his mates car (both had had a drink) unfortunately his mate lost control of the car and they had an accident, luckily both were ok, however they both walked away and left the car. They watched what happened next from behind a tree, which was that an amblance reported the car and the police arrived to tow the car away. The car was placed in a police pound, however, all the contents of the car were removed. Some of the contents in that car belonged to my son, namely his house key, shoes and a mobile phone. The lad driving was arrested and he said he was in the car ALONE - he has as yet not been charged. My q…
