    Yup, lots do it now, but is this a police matter? I appreciate insurance companies can make a policy null and void, but if admitted to Police do we have the power to do anything? If so, if it's an FPN, is it main driver or named that gets the ticket?

    I came across a video on another forum, showing someone shooting at people with a paintball gun, on YouTube. Apparently he was 'dry-firing', but still intimidating folk. I was wondering what crimes were being committed, and if any, how best to report them. I've tried crimestoppers, who weren't interested as I didn't have a date or location, and was told to call 101 and ask to speak to the met (apparently the video was filmed in London). I haven't done yet as I live nowhere near there, so thought I would ask here first. I will post a link to the video if folk desire Edit, apologies if this is in the wrong section. Here seemed fitting

    A person is issued with an interim injunction order served by the council and it sets out conditions not to cause annoyance and a nuisance to neighbours and has a power of arrest. The person breaks the injunction order conditions and the person is arrested by Police does it mean that that person has to be interviewed by Police or is he/she just sent to court?

    If a person in a store serves a child under 18 alcohol then that person will be issued with a PND. If another test purchasing operation is done again and the same person sells an under 18 child alcohol they are no eligible for another PND so do Police deal with it or do Council enforcement trading standards team deal with it? If the answer is that the Police have to deal I assume you report them for summons. What is your view and what is your experience on test purchasing operations?

    I'm surprised this has not been talked about before on here. Or if it has I apologise for missing it! If while indulging in this particularly interesting of hobbies one is caught, what are the legal implications? I understand civil trespass vs aggravated trespass etc. Does anybody have any experience in this sort of thing? Ever had an 'urbex' related call? I suppose my main question is if I have a go at it myself and get caught by a grumpy land owner, am I likely to be rejected from any future police application process? If you have not come across urban exploration I suggest you take a look. It can be brilliant fun if done right. Have a look here for examples. http:/…

    Semi-Real scenario but nothing to do with me... Disclaimer noted just in case Person A buys a train ticket at full fare but is 'advanced rate' so no refund possible. Person A cancels the trip so doesn't need the ticket. Person A sells the ticket for face value to Person B who will use the ticket. All of this is off Railway land so any direct byelaws that require to be on the premises cannot apply except any that apply once the ticket is actually used (which must by definition be on rail property) Any offences? Also: Person C promotes the sale of the ticket to help out Person A. Any offences? P.S. this is The Law not Scenario City, so not looking to see what you …

    Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, I have made reasonable effort using the search bar in regarding to this question. A driver is pulled over by ANPR with suspected no insurance. The sole occupant of the vehicle is a male driver who is in his late forties. When questioned, the driver insists he is covered by his own insurance policy, third party. Upon investigation of his vehicle documents, it is found that the vehicle is registered under his own name. Further inquiry into his insurance policy, it states he is covered by third party only if the vehicle is not registered under his name. English is obviously not his first language and though it is the sole responsibil…

    Doorsupervisors are shown lots and lots of ID in a night, usually as a proof of age to enter a venue. A small but significant number of these are false in some respect. Is it possible for a doorsupervisor to confiscate ID that is false in order to prevent crime and then hand to the police? Firstly, lets look at the types of falsehood that happen. A. Genuine ID belonging to the holder that has been edited to change the Date of birth, this will generally be a UK driving licence or passport. B. Novelty ID - this is ID that looks official but isn't a real document, such as a European Drivers Permit. C. Genuine ID that just isn't theirs that they may have with or without t…

    Hello, Was wondering if somebody here could help advise me here as i am finding conflicting advice online. Basically, i like sailing and boating but ive never carried a knife for this. I recently sat my RYA day skipper course and was told by my instructor that i absolutely must carry a small, part serated blade locking knife on me at all times when boating, it is an essential peice of safety equipment.
