Dunno. Since several of ...Would they be any worse ?<br />Dunno. Since several of their staff have been dismissed for sexual activity with their "charges" in detention centres I suppose her experiences could have been worse with private police ? (not necessarily M/F relationships either)<br />And since, at least locally, private security tend to use excessive force when "ejecting" people from drinking establishments (including dragging an inebriate women out of a nightclub by her breasts, with great relish (witnessed by an off-duty police person)).....<br />The police may not be the best, but they're better than the rest.<br />Oh, and you didn't bother to ask whether they (arresting officers) were operating to "target" (even if they are no longer targets) ?Johnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763363660123520529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-1320849861205325442012-11-05T10:00:57.037+00:002012-11-05T10:00:57.037+00:00So the rule is now if you are assaulted by someone...So the rule is now if you are assaulted by someone, make sure you have a mobile with a good signal. If possible, make the call while the thug is beating you up, this precludes the scumbag getting in first and mandating that the police must obviously take his word over yours.<br /><br />It isn't just stories like this that lead ordinary people to mistrust the police. It's the police's refusal to admit their stupidity or apologise for it, as evidenced by theose on this blog.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-82593920782638080102012-11-04T21:55:02.936+00:002012-11-04T21:55:02.936+00:00Two parts to this section. First, there are many ...Two parts to this section. First, there are many officers whose role does not include either contact with the public - intelligence (not an oxymoron with a Police connection despite what many may say) or as an enquriies officer (a Police officer whose main role is to act on behalf of other forces in obtaining statements, interviews under caution or other action which are then forwrded to the original force for their action as deemed necessary). This may seem a waste of time but is more efficient than sending Police oficers all over the country to complete investigations. <br />The second part is, for those who find themselves on the wrong end of "I am arresting you for...." is to forget that the Police officer is your friend and say nothing further. Do not try to explain as this will be included in the officer's statements and will no doubt be used, in some way, against your case. You can say, "Can you confirm that you have received a statement of allegation by the other party in which they have signed the statement that if they state something they know to be false, they are committing an offence for which they can be prosecuted?" The bugger for this is that the Police officer has to record this, word by word, in his/her statement and also have to explain how they answered and, if they didn't give an answer, explain why not (can sometime cause great hilarity in a magistrates court). If no such statement has been made, query the power of arrest. At the first opportunity, demand to see a duty solicitor (the cost is borne by the Police, not by you) and only speak to the solicitor when you know you are not being overheard - also ask if the solicitor has been given the required information (disclosure) regarding the arrest -a requirement of PACE. Try and answer any question by the Police with another question ("Do you know why you have been arrested?" "Should I?" "Do you always answer a question with a question?" "Is that a problem?", etc. If you concentrate very hard, you can keep this going for ages. You will be asked close questions, where the answer will either be a 'yes' or a 'no.' You can still cause problems by saying something like. 'What do you think?' In the main, the Police get it right, but they are required to act on the information given to them at the time. A query as to whether an arrest is necessary can cause all sorts of alarm bells to ring, CPS officials to suffer anal palpitations, leading to a 'no further action' result. Police officer are human, they make mistakes and quite often have no belief in the action they are required to make. The object is to make it even more difficult for them to charge you with an offence. Class it as a life experience, albeit a serious one, and demand to know what rights you have - they are required by law to tell you. Don't forget, however, that they are vary often as pissed off at what life has thrown their way as you are.<br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-47628796150963854972012-11-04T20:36:44.845+00:002012-11-04T20:36:44.845+00:00There is nothing wrong with arresting people if t...There is nothing wrong with arresting people if that what needs to be done.

The modern method of rolling up and arresting someone merely upon the say so of a complainant smacks of the situation once described to me of Franco's Spain, where people with an axe to grind would denounce someone to the police who would then come and beat him up.<br /><br />The process is now the punishment and the harvesting of fingerprints and DNA seems a top police priority.<br /><br />There are lessons to be learned here: anyone who assaults anyone needs to be first to allege an assault and the police will continue the assault on his or her behalf. He doesn’t even have to pay for this service.<br /><br />DPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-7834199599129552862012-11-04T12:55:58.999+00:002012-11-04T12:55:58.999+00:00Tango .

This poor woman will have cause to seek recompense from the police under human rights legislation, which in this instance is appropriate. As was the case law which made it possible. A few checks some communications and this issue should not have happened.<br /><br />As for four hundred (approx) officers not making an arrest in a region, so what, prevention is better than arrest. This does not prove that four hundred people were not doing their job possibly the contrary. <br /><br />Targets and the tick box mentality should be removed from the constabulary as soon as possible. Personally I work in one of the worst sites on the planet and I still wouldn't swap my job for theirs.
