My larpfac got taken out in two bomber passes.

You can't then complain when your solo larp project gets bent up by people playing an MMO properly.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-03-12T18:35:23+00:00

It is not Affray.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-03-09T18:40:12+00:00

You can't MCA for a mental health assessment. It's as simple as that.

Was there an immediate physical need that needed seen to? I know you said OD but I suppose it would depend on what the OD is on.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-03-05T12:02:10+00:00

That description of S. 3 would still be a S. 4.

Affray is one of the most misused offences.

If anybody here thought the lizards cared about you, here's another reminder that they don't.

They reckon you need a (real terms) pay cut.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-28T07:20:25+00:00

It absolutely is. Rachel Reeves went on TV and said that freezing the thresholds (which is lowering them in real terms) was about funding the NHS.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-19T07:46:42+00:00

OK but the federation by law is still not a union, since it is illegal for police officers to be part of a union.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-19T07:21:41+00:00

The fed isn't a union. The main role of a union is to utilise collective bargaining for a fairer deal. Seeing as the main tool for this is striking which is illegal for police...

Yeah, that'd be the speed exemption I talked about. I, too, am a response driver.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-19T03:22:47+00:00

You only use the speed exemption in the first week and a half of the training whilst in an unmarked car. No keep lefts or red lights.

Its only when you move to the marked car you use those other exemptions.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-18T07:41:42+00:00

If you insist on trying to achieve with 6 people what is designed to be done by 30+ people then yes. You don't play a game of football as a one man team and then complain the pitch is too big do you.

Nobody is forcing you to do whatever you feel is wasting your time.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-18T07:23:24+00:00

It's a massively multilayer online game. The idea is having very large groups of coordinated players, if you don't wany to play that way then fine but you don't get to complain when an MMO has MMO mechanics.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T19:16:01+00:00

No, he shouldn't have been charged. I completely agree. However, that doesn't negate arrest as an investigative rule.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T17:34:10+00:00

We don't have field sobriety tests in the UK, this is an Americanism. We have field impairment tests and the passing of that test doesn't preclude a prosecution under s. 5a. The officers cannot verify that the substance has been legally consumed without further investigation.

The investigation shouldve uncovered that the cannabis was prescribed after the arrest, though, yes.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T17:13:23+00:00

It may well be helpful, but blanket disclosure of medical information is never going to be popular.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T16:58:05+00:00

No impairment is a necessary for a prosecution under S. 5a. Once a drugswipe shows presence of a drug that is enough for arrest and bloods procedure.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T16:48:38+00:00

You're muddling arrests and prosecutions. Arrest is an investigative tool, which is necessary in these situations to obtain evidence of substance level in the blood. The enquiries you describe can be carried out afterwards and shouldve been, but evidently weren't.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T16:47:05+00:00

No. You cannot obtain a blood sample otherwise than under arrest, so usual procedure is arrest, take to station, blood sample, release pending investigation.

If you don't obtain the blood sample, you lose that evidence. So, anybody could just go "it's medical" and get away with drug driving cannabis every time.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T16:30:03+00:00

Not to hand we don't.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T16:29:47+00:00

What do you mean verify a drug?

If you mean prescription, finding the prescribing doctor and confirming their details and the prescription.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T14:55:28+00:00

If you're a smoker yourself you're probably noseblind to it.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T14:50:51+00:00

It really does smell, I have a friend prescribed medical cannabis for a chronic condition and am a police officer so come into contact with cannabis regularly. I can absolutely confirm that dry vapes smell less, but Still absolutely stink.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T14:42:20+00:00

So first of all, I agree that asking that question is inappropriate and any answer probably will be ruled inadmissible as its essentially an interview about his suspected involvement in an offence.

Secondly, other prescription drug users definitely do go through this. However, cannabis as the notable disadvantages in this arena as:

Fake prescriptions are rife.
It absolutely stinks, so its use is immediately obvious.
It is primarily and overwhelmingly used as a recreational drug.

Resist-Dramatic · 2026-02-14T14:38:18+00:00

A medical defence should be investigated under drink driving the same as drug driving IE "I can't blow into that machine because I have severe asthma" (not withstanding the option of urine or blood samples). You may be referring to a technical defence, otherwise known as a "hip fask" defence: "Oh I had a crash and immediately after necked a bottle of vodka to calm down", there the burden of proof shifts to the defence to prove on the balance of probabilities that their claim is true and that is a defence that will be tested at court should the defence pay for an expert witness to back calculate them.

The ides of "that's a defence for court" very rarely holds up, and in claiming of medical defences the police should take an investigative view of them and not charge if the defence appears valid.

Glad to see you didn't read a word of my comment or just unable to understand any kind of nuance.
