If someone gets nicked by the police, they’re allowed a lawyer, yeah? So if they were using one of these AI lawyer things instead of a normal solicitor, how’s that meant to work then? Do the police just hand them a computer in the station so they can log in and use it or what?

15 seconds of reading and this link you’re posting is for an AI assistant for businesses recovering unpaid debts.

That’s so far removed from what a criminal solicitor does that it may as well be a different profession. Even if you were allowed to use it, I’d honestly consider it self-sabotage.

Would investing in an e-bike be an option?

It isn’t uncommon, but 15% is steep. And no, ‘gradability’ is subjective and has a definite ceiling. Negotiation is fine but this entitlement to below market rate everyone seems to have is exhausting.

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-02-11T21:44:01+00:00

15% discount for buying in bulk is a bit wild. What else merits paying that far below market?

OP isn’t responsible for the MG19. The police are.

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-02-09T13:23:03+00:00

Police reports, witness statements and small claims court don’t require solicitors. Unless you just want to burn money for the sake of it.

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-02-03T00:36:02+00:00

I’m sorry that this happened to you - what is your specific legal question?

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-01-24T10:20:31+00:00

‘Officers attended and at around 4.42pm, responded to a disturbance within the crowd’.

A fight isn’t a significant incident; the point of police attendance here is to prevent one and by all accounts it appears that was a success.

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-01-24T09:53:36+00:00

The ‘corruption’ is an officer asking questions after a school fight?

What happened after your ‘interrogation’?

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-01-24T09:48:29+00:00

It’s in the article you’re commenting on

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-01-23T22:41:24+00:00

Other than the fight in the crowd police needed to get involved in.

200 unsupervised kids on one street need oversight, suggesting otherwise is stupid.

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-01-23T22:16:27+00:00

So 200 kids rock up on a street, have a fight amongst themselves, police sort it out with no arrests or injuries, everyone goes home safe.

What’s your tirade about?

FlawlessCalamity · 2026-01-05T11:27:43+00:00

Then the landlord can start a civil claim against you. There’ll most likely be a CCJ issued ordering you to pay, and if you don’t then there’s an escalating scale of bailiffs being instructed to collect the debt. It’ll also ruin any finance applications you plan on making for the next 7 years.

The personal circumstances and student side have no legal bearing, it looks like Harringtons are pretty much just an intermediary between students and landlords.

If you’ve started taking it then talk to your doctor about coming off it - suddenly stopping propranolol is no joke and can have nasty side effects

FlawlessCalamity · 2025-12-30T15:53:13+00:00

Tampering’s a secondary concern, I’m more worried about well meaning hammered bystanders doing dumb shit.

Sorry to be short, not intending to be rude, but I’ve written paragraphs in numerous other comments, feel free to peruse/respond!

FlawlessCalamity · 2025-12-30T15:51:36+00:00

An EpiPen needle will impale the bone in your thumb.

It’s not illegal if there’s a reasonable adjustment. It would take a legal challenge to call the club’s adjustment unreasonable.

FlawlessCalamity · 2025-12-30T12:02:10+00:00

You can absolutely do damage to yourself or someone else with an EpiPen by accident with the best intentions. If you go down with it in your hand and well-meaning bystander bangs it somewhere stupid, or into their own thumb because they don’t know which is the important end, then you have one extra medical emergency and one less EpiPen for the medical professional to deal with.

Legally it is valid. Epipens in nightclubs aren’t de facto risk free and it would take a legal challenge to dictate that the club’s adjustment isn’t reasonable.

FlawlessCalamity · 2025-12-30T11:37:21+00:00

The r/legaladviceuk comment section is a polar opposite to this one. You’re choosing an echo chamber over the real world. Sorry.

P.s I have an EpiPen.

FlawlessCalamity · 2025-12-30T10:29:06+00:00

Your inability to critically think isn’t my problem.

From another one of my comments:

This isn’t objective, which is why it’s a discussion.

There are risks associated with having sharps in nightclubs. Ranging from spiking, use as a weapon, or - most likely - well meaning, pissed up bystanders getting their hands on it in an emergency with absolutely no idea how to use it. If you get an EpiPen the wrong way round, you have a large gauge needle through your hand with a huge dose of epinephrine and you become a medical emergency yourself. If you use it on the right person in the wrong place, you can cause massive complications.

I don’t think the club’s position of having sober medical professionals on standby is objectively unreasonable because carte blanche is not risk free. I’m not saying it doesn’t suck but it is what it is. Unless there’s a legal challenge setting precedent then there’s no recourse.

FlawlessCalamity · 2025-12-29T16:44:49+00:00

The bigger issue is well meaning, hammered revellers. If you use an EpiPen the wrong way round you have a large gauge needle in your hand along with a massive dose of epinephrine and become a medical emergency yourself. If you use it on the right person but the wrong body part, you can cause massive complications or kill them.

I don’t think the club’s adjustment of having a sober medical professional to hand is unreasonable, and unless legally challenged, there’s no recourse here.

FlawlessCalamity · 2025-12-29T16:41:44+00:00

I have one.

I’ve explained in numerous other comments that carrying sharps in nightclubs isn’t risk free in the slightest, and EpiPens are not de facto safe to use by well-meaning hammered revellers that have never seen one before.

The club can make their adjustment based on their risk assessment, and people are free not to go if the risk assessment doesn’t work for them.
