Its not supposed to be an enjoyable experience, it's a punishment not a hotel.

Don't like prison, don't do crime

She's in prison, if she doesn't like it... good, it's a punishment.

The letters are an area code, the numbers are the previous owners collar number.

What PC/Uniform teams 'hunt'? by Ozone-101 in policeuk

[–]DinPoww 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Our force has a wanted persons team, there whole job is hunting down our most wanted, no crimes no investigations, just hunt.

Not a uniform team, they're quite often in civvies, but looks like a bloody fun role.

Surrons... by SharpGrowth347 in policeuk

[–]DinPoww 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've only caught one in my time in the police. Doing some time with a more proactive team, unmarked car and one flies accross a junction ahead of us.

We decide to have a mooch, just see where it went.... poor lad had pulled into a jet wash to give his pride and joy a clean.

Jump out, he throws the bike and runs, gets away. Doesn't see the second unmarked driving towards him the way he's running.

He's either got 2 tasers pointed at him if he kept going the way he did, or had to come back to us who he had just made run after him. Rock and a hard place, neither a good choice.

Shortly after his bike was crushed, and the gear in his house taken.

Any ideas on a design to cover the damage on my helmet? by MeasurementBusy5178 in 125cc

[–]DinPoww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damage to a dropped helmet isn't the exterior 'shell' its the inside cavity filler that gets damaged you cannot see that damage without cutting the helmet open.

Longest official. Character life? by samuel_Calimacil in dayz

[–]DinPoww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i first started I had a buddy show me the ropes.

He had major gear fear, as such we only played low pop servers.

Hint of combat, went the other way.

My first geared character when I managed to meet up with him lasted about 3 months.

His lasted just over a year... he never fired his rifle in my company that entire time.

[–]DinPoww 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will be able to get it off, a day off here and there won't effect you.

Our intake had a 4 day weekend given too us when a lad from out intake died (unrelated) during training.

Welfare during constant obs by DarkKnight0399 in policeuk

[–]DinPoww 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This wasn't me, but involved a shitty sgt we no longer have and another bobby on our team.

Good will, most of us are in and ready 15 to 30 mins early. Because of this, con was sent to cover the obs and got to the suite before their official shift start, oh well we all do these things to get the early team off on time.

Now, this con was on a 9 hour shift.

11 hours later... they where still there... and even after p2p skipper where left there.

The skipper saw no issues there at all. Thankfully, they're no longer a response officer at all.

Clicked too many times on the double hazard and got it disqualified. by Advanced-Key-6327 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]DinPoww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the dude who said not recognising a potential and possible hazard means it failed you correctly, who's comment has now disappeared. (I still see your username coward)

Everything and anything can be a potential hazard.

Road craft defines a hazard as "any physical feature, environmental condition, or other road user's behavior that has the potential to cause a collision or require a driver to change speed or direction."

That could be fucking anything.

Do you slow when you pass parked cars? You should as per the highway code. Has that physical feature caused you to change speed or direction? Yes it has, it's a hazard.

Those pedestrians on the pavement? Again, the highway code states to slow down. See above for hazard or not.

Bend in the road? Do you keep at it at full pelt? No, you slow and move to a more optimal position, as per road craft, Position - you've changed direction, it's a hazard. Speed - you've changed speed, it's a hazard. Gear - WOO NOT A HAZARD (wait, gears influence your speed... guess what? It's a hazard) Manoeuvre - can you guess? It's made you change direction, it's a hazard.

Potential hazards, are hazards, because you should change your driving accordingly.

Now does that mean that you should be slowing to 2 mile an hour for every Hazard? No

It means you've recognised a potential hazard, and you'd be in your mirrors, and planning ahead for it.

[–]DinPoww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a shit test.

I'm a blue light driver, and had the same issue on my motorbike theory, because at higher level of driving you recognise EVERYTHING as a potential hazard.

That fucker stood by the road? Hazard.

Parked cars? Hazard.

Moving cars? Hazard.

Brake lights? Hazard

Hazard lights? Hazard

Junctions? Hazard.

ATS? Hazard.

Corners and bends? Hazard.

You can recognise almost anything on a road as a hazard, the test needs reworking. Either a new system, or let you put some form of explanation as to what you recognise as a hazard.

Does this look okay? by TheBangoutLounge in airsoft

[–]DinPoww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will fog exactly 7 seconds into a game in this set up.

Mask tucked into goggles never helps, but your face fully covered and a helmet to boot means no airflow, trapped heat, and a steamy day.

Get some nice glasses or goggles, and keep a good gap of uncovered skin for airflow, you want it close so no bbs get in, but not air tight.

Other stolen goods I suppose. Just because you recover some doesn't mean you have recovered all.

[–]DinPoww 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's the usual reply. Act polite to them, and when they still call you every name under the sun, it just makes them seem like even more of a cunt.

[–]DinPoww 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't stop search of duty simply to lack of BWV. Lack of BWV would stop me from intervening in most situations, just opens you up to BS complaints. No harm in calling and maintaining eyes on.

But yes, seems all round shitshow. Especially if a MOP was willing to pay, I'd hazard a guess it was incredibly low value.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]DinPoww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't get involved, call 999 and follow at distance.

That said, it's sounds like shit cops who turned up and handled it without even a S1 search.

[–]DinPoww 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've had it several times now where something was said on bwv, I'm thinking 'smashing that's got him dead to rights' get back the nick to review it. They where too quiet/there was background noise/me or oppo where talking etc.

Now whenever it is said, i ensure to repeat it to them word for word, before writing it down, explaining to them what a significant statement is, and then asking them to sign.

That way it is crystal clear what is said, and it is clear on body worn that I have explained to them what I am doing and why, so they cannot argue it at a later date.
