Forgive me if this is a topic up-and-running elsewhere, but I have been watching the case of the teacher and student who have run away to France and I'm wondering exactly what he's going to be charged with?? If police can't prove sexual acts have taken place (which they almost certainly won't without the girl's co-operation) he can't charged with that, and if she went with him voluntarily, it's not abduction. So what offence exactly? Don't get me wrong here, I firmly believe he should be charged with something, and I hope he is. If he isn't then clearly new laws are needed. My knowledge of the law isn't amazing though, so maybe somebody can help me out... Ah, okay, I'v…

The police came round to my house to warn me that they had seen that I had sent intimidating texts to another person. They said that my texts seemed to be intimidating and the officer warned me that I should stop sending intimidating texts to that person. I wasn't taken to the station, it just seemed like a kind warning, but the officer did say that it was is an offence in which they could have arrested me for. Is the warning classed as an informal warning or a formal warning?? Will this have been recorded on the police computer?? Would this appear on a CRB/enhanced CRB check?? Would I be able to join the police?? thank you PLEASE NOTE: The police already knew m…

Hi guys - this was the question of the day on the PNLD app I downloaded - your all welcome to have a bash at it please no cheating if you already have the app and know the answer! (Ive paraphrased some of it so its a little more friendly) ========================= PC KEEN is riding his personal motorbike on his way into the Police station to book on duty when he notices a vehicle in front of him perform a dangerous over-taking manoeuvre in contravention of the solid white line. PC KEEN then follows the offending vehicle on his personal motorbike in an attempt to note down the VRM and later report/visit the registered keeper. PC KEENs insurance policy expressly excludes…

I was challenged by a officer the other night to find a name the law that you can seize what you believe are stolen goods if they cannot proof ownership. The example given is as follows. "On patrol you see a male you believe has been upto no good you search him and find a bag of washing powder you believe to be stolen, he has no proof of ownership can you seize it?" Been googling it at work with no luck.

http://www.bbc.co.uk...-leeds-19727594 I can think of the following RTA offences: Driver is driving without due care. Bodyboarder is: And both of them would appear to be committing: Am I on the right lines? Any others?

I have found a group on Facebook which lets people know where mobile VOSA stop sites are so people can avoid them. Surely this is not strictly legal? Thoughts please

Will an informal warning by a police officer about sending intimidating texts to somebody, show up on enhanced CRB check? (The warning was basically warning me that they could have arrested me. It was basically just advise saying that I should stop texting that person.) Will this effect me getting into the police? Would I need to declare the informal warning on my vetting forms? Would this be on the police computer systems? (The police already knew my name and address as I was involved in an investigation where a malicious allegation of sexual activity with a under 13 family member, was made against me - That case was NFA'ed) *PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS AN UPDATED POST*

For me, the majority of my arrest powers derive from the Customs & Excise Management Act 1979 and the Immigration Act 1971 (No requirement to justify necessity in either...) Consequently, my most commonly used PACE powers are a toss up between Secn 19 (General power of seizure) and Secn 32 (Search upon arrest)

Aware I'm likely to amongst the most irritating of posters- new, focussed on a single personal issue and, I would hope, unlikely to grace your fine forum much if I am able to get a response and avoid being the victim of crime for the forseeable future. That said, my brief question is - having reported a common assault and received an appointment to be give a statement, what is actually likely to happen as a result? Brief details are as follows Parked legally in a marked bay, within permitted time restrictions next to an apparently unused light industrial unit on an adjacent street to my son's nursery. When I left the car with my 18 month old son, someone from across t…

On xmas day 2011 i was a victim of common assault , my witness was my partner , the person who assaulted me was my partners brother.

On the day of the assault my partners brothers mum was not interviewed because she had gone upstairs to bed ( xmas day early afteroon ). My partners mum has dementia. In those 24 hrs my partners brother has convinced his mum that it was i who assaulted…

Hi, Firstly, i'll point out that I am a serving police officer. The reason for this post is to discuss this emerging 'belief'. I haven't come up against this as yet, although I have stopped a car where the driver has refused to get out or comply with any requests made by police. This is the youtube video a friend mentioned to me after we were discussing my stop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3aoHaKhJr0 Now this is one video of what appears to be MANY! I don't fully understand the 'freemen' movement / belief and it is quite obvious that there are those that are using this as a means of making the lives of police officers difficult. Others seem to actually believe tha…

Based on the following definition of domestic violence (abuse?) as posted by Simon T, in a situation where a father turns up to collect his child as per a court contact order, and the mother for no good reason does not hand the child over, does this come under 'psychological' and 'emotional'? Find it hard to believe it doesn't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ' the newest guidelines being thus: Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive or threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are or have been int…

I'm struggling to think of an offence if someone posts defamatory comments on twitter about another person. Comments are about a semi-public figure who is named, for example using saying "he's a loser", "he's useless", "he has no clue what he's doing" Its not mal comms because the message or comments aren't sent to the "victim". Possibly harassment...but then how do you balance freedom of speech with harassment, given the comments aren't threatening I'm thinking its a non-crime....Thoughts please? Anyone had dealings with similar fb/twitter type offences?

Not sure if this is the right section to post in. Basically I have a contact order for access to my 3 year old son. If I were to go to collect him one day and my ex(the mother) refused to hand him over, would I be right in calling the Police?Would they attend the address and inform the mother she must hand my son over? If I were to say if the Police don't attend there would be a breach of the peace would this make them more likely to intervene? Many Thanks

I recently visited a large country estate which has a small but rather well funded security force who patrol the grounds and the surrounding estate buildings. Whilst talking to the security officers I noticed that they all had the usual utility belts complete with speedcuffs and surprise surprise ASP type batons. When I challenged the carrying of the batons, the security manager said it was legal for them to be carried on the estate as it was private land and not a public place, it was also explained that from time to time they have to deal with poachers and criminals who on occasions might be armed and this provides security with protection. It was explained to me tha…
