As a MOP you find some money on the floor in your workplace which s an open public building. You report this to your HR dperatment who send an email round saying some money has been found and if you have lost some you should let them know how much,approx what time and where you have been in the bulding.

Hi All, Situation: A member of the public has approached you and stated that there is a small vegetable knife in a children's playground nearby. When you check it out sure enough - you find the knife amongst the wood chippings. It is seized etc... Question: What power are you using when you search for the knife? I can only seem to find search powers relating to premises and vehicles and not actually land in Blackstones. I've asked experienced officers and no-one seems to know! Cheers, Guybrush PS This was a real situation!

Hi all, I am new to this site so i am sorry if this is a question already answered elsewhere! I have spent my whole life struggling and although i have constantly been trying to keep my head above water in the past it has been extremely difficult for me - i had a child at a very young age and had to bring her up on my own...i have worked most of my life for her but along the way have got myself into bad credit. I am extremely worried that this will have an adverse effect on my application.

I was dealing with a job involving the Common Law offence of Public Nuisance (which has been my favourite offence for some time) when I stumbled across a list of the existing Common Law offences on PNLDB. There were the obvious ones but I couldn't help notice the offence of "Refusing to assist a constable". Essentially it is: "Refusing to aid or assist a constable in the execution of his duty when called upon to do so, if that person is physically capable of rendering such help and has no lawful excuse for so refusing." Anyone used it, could have used it in the past or might use it in the future?
