Is the technique of observing or videoing a situation taking priority over actually taking action while the crime is being committed and the criminals are still within reach of the long arm of the law, again not to mention individual senior officers in Manchester, but the question should be asked in a general fashion, "Where does valid observations and neglect of duty differ in principal and in reality. A recent T.V. news programme showed in great detail dozens of our Police being stoned and abused by football hooligans at Leeds, very little was apparently being done to arrest the criminals, the main plan of action being to film the yobs and then to spend weeks of police…

I was stopping in a built up estate to start a three point turn. My car is an automatic. I have to have my foot on the break to put the car into reverse. Before I did this I looked in my rear view mirror With my foot still on the break a car reversed out of a driveway and hit his pasanger rear light against my car boot. I saw it comming and felt the hit, I was pushing my foot firmly to the ground so he did not move me. I switched the engin off and got out the car. He got out of his car and said "it has to be a female driver" and then went on to blame me followed by several insults. I told him he must be having a laugh, I saw him comming but there was nothing I could do t…

Hey, Can some kind soul could spare the time and help me out with some grammar, punctuation and spelling questions? would be appreciated. If I was writing a report and in the sentence I wanted to use "Police Officer" (or Police Station, Security Team, Legal Team and Security Guard) do I use capitals for the start of the word, or is it just lower case? (for example: With having a Police station on our premises, I will bring this up with the Police Officers who are...) (I will speak with our Legal Team regarding..) (I will organize a meeting with our Security Team to make them aware of....) Lastly, what is the difference between this: Customers' -- Customer's. Should I…

I have a couple of questions regarding Mini Motos and the law that I hope more experienced Police Officers can help me with. On what basis would a Police Officer seize a Mini Moto if it is being ridden on a road or anything that constitutes a road or part of a road? As 99 per cent of Mini Motos are being ridden without insurance and otherwise than in accordance with a licence, I immediately thought that it would be seized Sec 165. However, Sec 165 only applies to motor vehicles only - and Mini Motos are legally classified as Mechanically Propelled Vehicles. Or could I seize the Mini Moto on the grounds that I suspect it is stolen - as indeed many are. I could seize …

Hello All, One of my duties in the Armed Forces is to protect the establishment from any threat. This is particularly made difficult for staff working on the main gates during the weekend because of potential drink driving personnel. During a brief, I received orders from the commanding officer to refuse any person suspected of drinking, to exit the barracks by any conveyance (car/pedal bike etc). I understand that it is an offense to: "Drive/Attempt to Drive/in Charge of a vehicle whilst Unfit through to Drink/Drugs." But this only covers "Public Place" I have a 'Duty of Care' to ensure the welfare of the staff in my charge, but does this really extend to stoppin…

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this! Would this be classed as "Breaking and entering?". Anyway, say someone comes through your door, uninvited, and starts attacking you or someone else in the house. What would happen to you, if you were seriously hurt them with a knife or a heavy object? Thanks CJ

Hi, I’m new to the forum and I need some help as I’m currently writing a novel that includes a murder investigation. The story is based in Birmingham with my main character being a DS.
