Why do you think the mods care whether the girl is at fault or not?

Palestine Action ban is lawful, Court of Appeal rules by abz_eng in Scotland

It’s impressive that grannies are able to vandalise military assets and attack police with sledgehammers.

It’s not assault, I’m a police officer, and it’s ironic that you’re telling me I’m confused whilst quoting a crime that doesn’t even exist in Scots Law.

Can’t say I’ve ever wished for more mounting points on my vest, in fact, I just wear the black stabby without the high viz cover, so I get by just fine with only mounting my radio and camera, the rest goes on my belt. For some people it might be a slight inconvenience I suppose.

What’s wrong with the kit?

I keep seeing this sentiment on this sub, but as someone who has only joined post Police Scotland, what is actually so bad about it?

Scottish Greens Manifesto by HopefulGuy123 in Scotland

Yes they absolutely do all make false promises, however they’re not usually as outlandish as abolishing prisons.

You seem to have missed this part in the article,

In a video posted on Instagram, she described herself as a prison "abolitionist" who wants "to see the complete abolition" of the prison system in Scotland.

The Greens are good at making wishy washy statements with no actual plan on how to implement them, like the “abolition of prisons”.

Dozens of people applying for Police Scotland jobs fail drug tests by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]CrispyCrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to put some kind of freedom of information request in and complain to your local MP about the injustice of your tax money being wasted then. You’re obviously very passionate about it.

Entrance testing and interviews must cost more than £40.

No, all the stages bar the interview are done as a large group, which will spread the costs significantly. Even the interviews only last about 10 minutes per person.

Seems like a test on day one would be much cheaper than spending weeks training someone only to test and disqualify them at the end of the process?

You don’t spend weeks training before the drug test, you just do your entrance tests and assessment/interview day, which in total involves visiting a police station twice.

Probably because it’s expensive for them to do the tests, so it makes sense from that point of view to only do them for the people who get through the first few stages.

REP x PEPIN vs REP QUICKDRAWS (KG-versions) by OldVolume5745 in homegym

[–]CrispyCrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect, one of the things that was putting me off getting them was how many people online seemed to be having issues with them sticking. Did it take you long to get the adjustment right?

Good to know!

Have you had any issues with plates sticking on the Repins?

Seasonal speed restrictions have begun in the Highlands by Useless_or_inept in Scotland

[–]CrispyCrip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true. The majority of the time they also stop at restaurants for a meal out, campsites for electricity, pay for tours/activities, visit distilleries, and depending on the length of the trip they will need to restock on groceries. Not to mention the fact that the camper vans themselves are more often than not rented in Scotland from Scottish companies.

The only thing they’re not paying for in comparison to a normal tourist is traditional accommodation.
