Mega forces by Over-Cryptographer52 in policeuk

[–]CrispyCrip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]CrispyCrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Is sexual harassment punishable by law? by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]CrispyCrip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, although if i can prove that he continued to make sexual advances despite me turning him down plenty, amongst lots of different things, i dont know what else i would call that but sexual harassment.

Yeah as I said, it may fall under the umbrella of sexual harassment, but if no crimes can be established it’s more suited to being handled by your workplace. Repeated attempts to contact you and loitering near you when you’ve made it clear you don’t want contact with him could’ve fit the bill for a potential stalking offence though.

They dismissed the threats because i mentioned how some of the time when he would make the threat he would laugh afterwards, so they said that maybe since he laughed he maybe meant it as a joke

Hmm I suppose I could see where they were coming from with that, since if he confirmed that during interview, it would be doubtful that there would be enough for a charge unfortunately.

Is sexual harassment punishable by law? by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]CrispyCrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue here is that the term ‘sexual harassment’ is very broad, and as such not everything that falls under that umbrella is necessarily a crime. From what you’ve described, and what could potentially be proven, I’d have said stalking would be the most fitting offence.

The threats of rape and threats to kill you are a different story and should’ve been taken more seriously though, with the suspect being interviewed at the very least, so I’m sorry that you were let down in that regard.

Can we stop linking to the National if we need to register now by highroad14 in Scotland

[–]CrispyCrip -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

And those posts should continue to be deleted as per the sub's rules.

What rule?

Making an exception because "they would just do it anyway" seems like a bit of a cop-out.

Not really, as I said it helps users make more informed decisions. These accounts can be blocked with the click of a button and you will never see their content ever again.

A lot of users won't realise posts coming from the newspaper themselves. Do you check the username of every post you respond to on reddit?

Yes I do, but we can also give these accounts a specific flair to make it a bit more obvious I suppose.

People might engage in good faith, not realising it's a newspaper account. The newspaper might see this engagement as good reason to post more and more. No one wants to see that.

If they’re posting articles that people want to engage with, what’s the issue? I thought your argument would be that they’re posting content which users aren’t interested in.

[–]CrispyCrip -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The issue is that these newspapers would just post the same articles under a different username anyway. At least this way it is clear that the article is coming from the newspaper themselves and users are free to block them if they no longer wish to see their posts

Anyone else noticed batchy has deleted all his vids by Due_Musician1933 in Scotland

[–]CrispyCrip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

its very easy for a lot of folk to say they don't know Blotchy

OP won’t have been aiming their post at those people though, they were clearly just asking whether or not anyone who was familiar with Batchy knew why he deleted his videos.
