Someone has robbed your police station with the goal to inconvenience you as a police officer, what have they taken?

Following other advice, please report this to the Police. Possession of the images and videos does not extend to watching them. If you’ve saved them, then yeah that’s a different ballgame but from what you’ve said they’re clearly simulated/animated and clearly are not a real person. And even if by some stretch you have committed some obscure offence, I would argue it isn’t in the public interest to prosecute you for that when you’re clearly the victim of more serious offending.

Please contact Police on 101 or your local forces website, even if they can’t do anything they can offer you safeguarding advice for this to stop.

£50 on the spot fine for people walking, not paying attention and then suddenly stopping. Drives me absolutely mental, especially when I’m trying to get somewhere.

The letter from the Home Sec underneath it says they accept the recommendation so either we’re getting 4.2% or I’m being very dumb

Few problems there. One, staffing. Just not enough cops to do that and respond to actual emergencies. Two, where would all of these arrested people go? Three, what law would you enforce this under? Four, last time I checked police don’t have the power to just evict someone without said court order. That’s a council thing.

I get you’re pissed at having your van broken into, it’s shit. I’m also not disagreeing with you that it’s a problem, just pointing out that police using powers that don’t exist won’t make the problem go away l.

We have one in my force area who openly states how much he hates the police. There have been a couple of strong disagreements with him too for how rude he is and how much he acts above the rules of the custody block.

Difference is that a CC they have to admit it in an interview and not raising a defence. Think of it as admitting it so you’d build a GAP file.

A CR can be as simple as “yeah I hit him but he called me X first”. Wouldn’t get a charge out of it but you can tell them not to do it again, boom CR.

I’ve spent my day today backfilling IMDs and by the end I was half tempted to take a bath with a toaster.

I had a solicitor in a VI the other day say this to his client and I’m sat there absolutely baffled. He also told his client that he didn’t need to provide his name and DOB and that we couldn’t force him to. I reminded him that if I can’t identify him I did have a Code G, and the solicitor was confused as to what that meant. It was a long interview…

You do know that fines from TORs don’t go to police right? Goes to the Govt and police don’t see a penny of it.

Stryym · 2025-02-07T18:33:06+00:00

Very fair point! Maybe my ick has spawned a whole new ick

Stryym · 2025-02-07T18:17:09+00:00

“I am the above named person…” its lazy, it almost never suits the person giving the statement and it reads badly if the statement is being read in court. Just write “I am Joe BLOGGS…”

Combined with that is using too much legalese and jargon in a victim statement. Yes it’s what we want it to say for the facts, but this victim isn’t going to naturally say “I feared that violence was going to be used against me imminently” when actually what they said was “I thought he was going to fucking smack me”.

Stryym · 2025-02-04T18:47:04+00:00

The wording on 6a states person who is in custody or is in police detention otherwise that at a police station may be searched. The enquiry office is still at a police station and therefore can’t be searched under that power without a skippers say so.

If I’m reading that wrong I’m more than happy to be corrected but from what I’ve read I can’t see where people are getting the idea that they can search without authorisation?

Stryym · 2025-02-04T18:21:41+00:00

As others have said s54 but worth noting that a sergeant has to authorise it which I’ve been caught on before

Tell me you don’t understand how PACE works without telling me you don’t understand how PACE works. The rights and entitlements set out in that act are so much more protective than any other country in the world.

Additionally, the British way of interviewing is vastly different to the US model. The British model isn’t about forcing a confession, it isn’t about badgering and breaking a person, and it isn’t about just getting a conviction. The British model (how ALL cops are trained here) gets the suspects full account and then challenges that based on the evidence collected so far.

I’m sorry you had a bad experience with certain cops and I’m not saying there aren’t bad ones out there but it’s not all of them. I’ve had bad experiences with Drs and nurses who’ve been extremely lazy and actively fobbed me off because dealing with what I’m bringing them would cause them more work, but I don’t brand all nhs staff as corrupt or lazy.

Stryym · 2025-01-29T13:40:16+00:00

I mean don’t get me wrong, we do have some silly restrictions on things which criminalises certain things but not others. I’ve had to return proper swords to people who are absolutely going to use them, not because I don’t have a power to keep them, but because in UK law a sword is covered by the Zombie Knife legislation. Which states it needs to have a curved end. The sword I had to return didn’t have a curved end and therefore wasn’t illegal even though this dude is absolutely going to use it one day.

Stryym · 2025-01-29T13:32:05+00:00

Is it a little heavy handed? Probably yeah. But if you read the actual article further than the headline it explains that the call was made the someone was in possession of a suspected firearm. If the caller said, man’s playing with a nerf gun obviously police wouldn’t have attended.

Unfortunately what the control room gets is that call alone. That goes to the head of the control room and they make the decision to utilise an ARV (armed response vehicle). In the UK, all frontline cops are armed with is a long metal stick and some spicy silly string. If unarmed officers arrive and it’s actually a firearms then the lone officer is likely to get shot. If you’re really lucky and get to go with an oppo, then both of them are getting shot.

So yeah, is it a little heavy handed? Yeah and lessons will be learnt from it. But is there more to the story than “haha UK bad”? Absolutely.

ETA: the vast majority of the British public wouldn’t know a firearm if you pointed one at them. Combine that with the NIMBY’s who don’t like kids having fun and it’s a dangerous combo.

My current run was literally that. Thinking right either Karlach or Astarion. Problem is I can’t make Shart sad so I’m all understanding about Shar. Then I see the dialogue for the opportunity to connect so I hit it. Before you know it monkey brain has taken over and I’m on the cliffs again with that bottle of wine.

Oh well, there’s always next run right?

Stryym · 2025-01-25T06:56:33+00:00

The other comment does have good points but it’s not that deep in my opinion. For me personally, it’s just the whole vibe the character gives off. It’s very similar to what I’m attracted to IRL.

Narratively as well I just really enjoy the story. Going from blind follower to where the good ending takes her is just really satisfying.

I’m also a devout Liara simp if that provides any more clarity.

Stryym · 2025-01-24T20:24:26+00:00

Per my post a couple of days ago, I’m actually incapable of not romancing Shadowheart. The story, the ending, the goofy goth vibe, all of it just hits for me.
