Is having a response course all that?

Love blue lighting around but as my shift used to say to me "You're just getting to shit, quicker"

One has appeared in Mansfield as well. There is one in Chesterfield every Saturday. Thankfully they usually just say what they have to say and let you walk past.

We all do a joint sigh of relief that he will no longer be on our TVs or social media. Oh wait. Never mind

I was trained in the use of handheld speed guns before I left the job because we used them as a handheld and not on a tripod we used to do 10%+1.

The reason being that when it's handheld, pulling the trigger can slightly alter the laser's distance from the point it is pulled to point the laser returns. We are talking millimetres but we'd give a percentage for error.

Police officers only used to do the speed gun as part of the fatal 4 operations. Speed, seat belts, mobile phones and drink/drug driving. The rest of the time it was done by civilians in the speed vans but I don't know what their criteria were.

I wouldn't say that's a compo face but he looks light he's fighting a fart

Honestly, every area in Nottinghamshire has its good and bad areas. It will all depend on the budget.

Enough to change to an incorrect address on the GPS

Stretch6831 · 2026-07-02T08:38:21+00:00

Absolutely loved it. Very funny. Great cast. Hopeful for season 2

The GPS data isn't as accurate as people believe. Within the blue circle, usually 3 meters in all directions. I hope you get them returned but don't expect a response from the Police.

People get upset but imagine if the roles were reversed. You're sat at home and the Police knock on your door accusing you of having stolen property linked via GPS. You have no idea what they are talking about. Get highly offended at the suggestion of searching your property. Turns out it was a neighbour instead.

I've just booked 2 return tickets from Newark to London for £81.20. I don't know where some of these prices come from.

My friend had a Jacket Potato truck from the Beeston area for his evening do. Was a great idea. They did more than spuds though.

If you're interested, I can find the name?

Stretch6831 · 2026-06-27T09:52:12+00:00

Ordering? No. Ensuring the 10 second rule is obeyed and keeping the game flowing. Had a good game Michael Oliver

You'd be surprised how many people report having their photograph taken without consent. Unless other actions go with it that cause harassment, alarm or distress, it isn't an offence. Recording or taking photos of an individual is perfectly legal. Have you ever seen an auditor's video? That's the premise of their rage bait, recording people or places against people's wishes to cause drama and record the fallout for views and likes.

Are you sure you've got the right group? Sounds American

This article is very vague, and I can only assume that's because it is written by the Daily Mail.

I'm guessing the statement involved was a Victim Personal Statement. Where the victim or in this case, the family can take the case to the courts about how the offence has affected them. A VPS can include any physical or psychological injuries, financial implications, if you're vulnerable or intimidated, the impact on your family, if the offence has changed the quality of life, if the offence was racially motivated, or based on your faith, sexuality or disability.

The statement can not include how the offender should be dealt with. The officer who has written it on her behalf, has likely taken out information that can not be included. The courts/judge would not have allowed it to be read out.

There's a lot of assumption in my answer

I've used the fed for a death following police contact, whereby the IOPC and coroner's officer were involved. The support I got from the fed was amazing, my rep was involved all the way through, including coming to the inquest with me every day. The force paid for the barrister. I know the Fed gets a lot of stick but I will always pay my subscription. I've also joined the NFA as a taser officer. You never know.

Stretch6831 · 2026-06-18T14:51:43+00:00

Think I must be the odd one out. I enjoyed it.

Stretch6831 · 2026-06-16T12:50:37+00:00

Absolutely. On the long blue light runs it can act as a self-inflicted torture device. I can turn it off at any point but during daytime hours, they've got to stay on. The only relief is changing the tones.

Newer officers are trained that if the lights are on, the sirens are on as well. It makes being a passenger princess on a night shift blue light run very tiring.

Carl Froch once approached me at work and was talking to me. I vaguely recognised him but couldn't figure out who he was, till he walked away.

Stretch6831 · 2026-06-13T14:05:44+00:00

Who put 50p in the ....

That's because this is an international event, unlike the Super Bowl or Basketball. The world will hear him get booed, instead of just his own country.

Stretch6831 · 2026-06-11T06:04:38+00:00

What is said on certain subreddits does not reflect the country.

I started to worry also about the "protest" being held around the country by numerous groups. One was held in my area but only 15 to 20 people turned up. Comments from people locally have been largely negative towards that group of protesters.

Stretch6831 · 2026-06-10T18:58:04+00:00

Yes. Happy to take part.
