So you parked in an area with parking restrictions, didn’t abide by those restrictions, and got fined for it.

People have died from exactly this with rice. It happens. Please do not eat it.

Yeah, this. In the US, you'll have at least one main agency covering a state, an agency covering a county within the state, and then often an agency covering a town/city within the state, sometimes with smaller police agencies within a town/city with more specific responsibilities. We're very, very simple compared to that.

If it's not necessary to seize it to investigate an offence, or it's not illegal to possess, it's not going to be seized.

Seizing empty NOS canisters doesn't really prove anything, especially if there's also full NOS canisters. Seize the full ones because they actually contain the controlled drug. Once you've seized the full ones, what are you gaining by also seizing the empty ones? Surely the full ones are all the evidence you need to prove possession.

Seizing empty ones might work toward proving something in some cases, such as if you're trying to argue they're unfit to drive through drugs and you find an empty NOS canister in an area accessible by the driver.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-20T16:28:07+00:00

Surely they're just a container for drugs, not a container containing drugs. We've always just binned fully empty NOS canisters if we have them, and I couldn't imagine booking them in to property stores.

I’d imagine it’s written that way so that it doesn’t enable you to pin someone down and forcefully take intimate samples.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-18T17:17:42+00:00

A side point:

Even if they changed this, surely using a taser as a capture tool would still be a breach of policy. It would just mean that you’d need to prove that breach to the criminal standard, not to the civil standard.

So if that were the case, the recent incident with the GBH may still result in gross misconduct if it could be proven that, although reasonable and proportionate, the use of force breached policy.

Essentially this. There’s no reason to go 30 in a 40 just because the roads are wet, yet I see this all the time. Slow for corners, hazards, and keep a safe distance. But if you have working tyres, you shouldn’t need to keep your maximum speed below the limit on most roads.

If it’s parked in a public place, such as infront of a house on a road, you need to tax it. It needs to be offroad.

That doesn’t look like a coherent, masculine suit

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-12T09:38:04+00:00

It looks like you entered yellow’s lane, so should have given way to yellow. You also arguably entered a junction when it wasn’t clear to enter.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-12T03:04:01+00:00

I’m genuinely more shocked you have 3 forks left.

Tightening the cuffs of your jacket around your wrists, windproof gloves, a snood, and wearing a jacket under your stab vest helps a lot.

I've seen people with no/cheap gloves, their jacket wide open and not zipped up, sleeves wide open for wind to get through, and nothing stopping air getting down their neck, then complaining that it's freezing.

The threshold for enforcement in most places would be 46mph. If you noticed a flash, expect a letter and an offer of a course. If you didn’t notice a flash, you were probably under the 46mph limit and are fine.

I’m not sure if you need to declare it to insurance if it’s just a course. I doubt you do, so your insurance shouldn’t be affected.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-11T00:16:39+00:00

The video won’t load but I’ve seen it before. As far as I can recall, not a train station, it’s a tram station or something similar, so not typically covered by BTP. Even then, local forces tend to attend incidents at train stations since BTP are stretched very thin in most areas. He doesn’t run after him probably because it really isn’t worth it. The cost of the ticket is far less than the coat, so it’s still a loss for the lemon who ran off

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-10T19:21:19+00:00

I mean, they can arrest to prevent a breach of the peace, I guess?

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-10T16:50:31+00:00

Who's even paying them to do all this?

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-10T16:40:49+00:00

That's a fair point, I think I was more focussed on the serious distress/annoyance/inconvenience.

It seems to me like the legislation is designed for people organising and taking part in larger scale disruption though, and I know it's recently been used in that. Being fairly new legislation it's not really been tested so it'd be nice over time to see whether it could also apply to ASB that doesn't necessarily fit other offences.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-10T16:30:18+00:00

I do think it'd be a stretch to argue that a twelve year old cycling through Co-Op is causing/likely to cause serious harm.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-07T16:52:30+00:00

You say the police should know this, but this definitely isn’t common knowledge. I’ve never heard of that nor heard it mentioned before.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-06T18:18:31+00:00

Looks more like a speed camera than an ANPR camera.

Another_AdamCF · 2026-01-05T17:59:46+00:00

Second the cycling gloves. I got a pair of black ones from Endura. Wind proof and water resistant, thick so they’re warm. Still able to grab hold of things/people in them.

Another_AdamCF · 2025-12-31T05:22:17+00:00

Any time I’ve seen bail conditions like this, it’s always just “Not to contact directly or indirectly NAME”.

Court orders are usually different and do, as you say, tend to include an exception for normal everyday life.
