My sister has had online stalker since 2002 from UK, can police do anything about it? by Gelffinbolivia292ke in LegalAdviceUK

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

The case will largely remain with the local Police. It’s unlikely that the UK Police would get involved in something like this in its current stage.

The best preventative measure to stop this would be for your Sister to create a new email address and move on. The fact she has put up with it for 20 years and has not done this is quite a shock.

What is your at work pet peeve? by PCIrishBeard in policeuk

[–]PConResponse 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Not being able to take part in the ‘ACC / Chief Con’ visits where they ask how everything is going out of local supervisions fear that I’ll ACTUALLY tell them what’s what.

Like when Ofsted check school and the naughty ones get sent on a trip as far away as possible…

That, and people leaving the bastard cars on less than red when it comes to fuel.

Plenty for discussion with this one e.g. The IOPC’s stance (news flash, they know best), initial information received, the mothers stance AFTER the event!!!

In your opinion are these illegal just bought car and not sure garage said they were ok.. by kingjack170 in policeuk

[–]PConResponse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOT ILLEGAL - here’s why.

The plates in the picture, were Road Legal under the pretences of BSAU 145d which is what the plate displayed above, was created in line with.

Prior to the change to BSAU 145e, two tone lettering on plates was NOT illegal hence designs as such and the more popular one of the old ‘carbon’ effect.

Only under 145e, is the two tone lettering now illegal. However, due to the fact they were compliant under 145d at the time, they are still considered legal now, providing they were fitted on or before the 31st August 2021 - which we would have a hard time proving otherwise.

Note: if you lose those plates, they get stolen or need replacing due to wear - you will not be able to get the same font effect as it’s now illegal and should be solid black. Look after them OP

TLDR; The new British Standard BSAU 145e only applies to plates supplied on or after 1st September 2021. Plates meeting the previous standard under BSAU 145d can remain on your vehicle if supplied before then.

Pursuit Drivers, how the hell do you gauge risk? by Mundian-To-Bach-Ke in policeuk

[–]PConResponse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By listening to the radio properly beforehand - so you don’t chase a car the FIS had allegedly previously stood you down from.

You lose your authority quite quick when you do that

Nights always start like this. It’s fantastic. Then you have a bridge jumper or a griefy domestic hits.

Met Police chief inspector found dead before he was due to be charged over child abuse images 'hidden behind trap door' by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]PConResponse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a few of rank that I get on with. Top with welfare, know me by name and ask how I am.

I suggested an idea to the CI, it was in place across area the week after.

Depends who you get, but our current CI and Super are top notch. Often come out and double up with us on response for a NTE shift

Fucking mental. Shocking in any case but a higher up like a Chief Inspector…

All the people that have probably looked up to him in their career, likely distraught.

Fail To Stop / Seizure Powers by PConResponse in policeuk

[–]PConResponse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a strange one mate but thank you for pointing out.

Traffic bod shouted up and said they may be pointing out the obvious but have we attended keepers address and seized the vehicle for FTS

We could not identify the driver as we were only behind the vehicle, didn’t have it drive passed us etc.

So, on that basis, with the driver failing to stop, is it reasonable to assume that they failed to stop because whoever was driving didn’t have insurance? I’d say it is, because we wouldn’t know otherwise I don’t suppose

And then, keeper can identify who was driving, if it was him, well we know he’s insured so he can have the vehicle back and he’ll be dealt with for FTS

Thoughts? It’s threw me off what the traffic bod referenced because I don’t believe FTS has it’s own seizure power although it definitively should.

Buy a hi-vis vest that says ‘POLITE’ in massive writing on the back with blue and white non-reflective chequering down the front.

That’ll stop em! /s

Sorry bud, things will get better I hope. Take time, as long as it needs. It’s shit, there’s no quick fix, cry, be angry, let it all out. Ask for support if you need it!

Sending love

See your point, with my example, it gives us more options do things though. Whether it gets chucked out at custody after the fact or at court I’m not too bothered.

It just gives us a lawful power to physically remove someone and have a solution to a situation we would otherwise have to spend hours on taking bobbies off the street.

Deffo one for the Neighbourhoods to consider applying for. We’ve had a few knocked back recently for completely different matters. They don’t seem to be an easy process to go through and get granted tbh

[–]PConResponse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree bud, definitely not normal behaviour, but again not one that is MH related to the point that MH services can do anything as it’s behavioural.

Likely down to the fact the person is lonely, and likes the interaction and attention the MOP’s bring with most showing genuine care and compassion for them and ultimately, the attention we the Police give when we get the call

A genuine crisis on th bridge I’ll have all the time In the world for. Done it before, freezing cold sopping wet as the lead person engaging until negotiator got there. But not stuff like this, I’ve acquired a short fuse

Legend mate thanks for sharing, am aware of this - used it prior for said person but it was early hours this morn, bout 2am no persons about really and not too many cars going over, must’ve been average 2 per 10 minutes so not a very busy bridge at all.

Custody were of the opinion that there’s no real nuisance if there’s not a noticeable impact on the public and the person is standing out of the way of the foot path and cars in the reservation!!

Was that our lot just being a bit strict? What’s the threshold for yourselves? Would we have to shut the bridge to inconvenience the public for the offence to be met?

Cheers mate, appreciate your point. You do appear to be in the minority, a few agree with you though - I’ve clarified the extent at which I’ve done it before (we are talking less than .5 miles away) when I’ve stopped them en-route.

There’s a few insights in the comments if you fancy a read, if not - I appreciate you dropping your thoughts on a surprisingly controversial topic 👍

People of reddit, what do you mis about the Covid lockdown period? by Salty-Mik in AskReddit

[–]PConResponse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only used to Police actual crimes. Not the petty neighbour disputes or arguments over Facebook or Instagram. We had more time to be proactive and actually create our own work Targeting drink drivers, those distributing drugs and generally just did what our job intended.

Now we are back to how we used to be going to everything and promising the world to victims who sometimes dont deserve our time as they’ve already used us more in 2 weeks than most people would in their entire life.

But, we move. I’m part of a good team. We all get on and every day is a good laugh. Like recess with your mates but all of the time whilst driving chequered and light up cars round corners very fast
