Got a mate who was going out with a girl for a couple of years. They had a baby together but the relationship did not work out.

They've both moved on with their lives by finding new partners but she still hates my mates guts especially when he puts up a fight over seeing their son.

My mate has NEVER been in trouble with the police until a few weeks back when the police raided his house and found some knives he browght back from holiday. The police were tipped off with some intel.

The same thing has now reoccured and we are 100% sure the person responsible for this is his EX and her new partner who is a ......surprise surprise.....bobby.

What can my mate do to put and end to this harrassment? He can't prove it is them but we are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt it is.

    Its an absolute disgrace when you can't keep a private arsenal of knives in your house.

    Were the knives brought into the country legally? If yes then he has nothing to worry about and they will soon realise that they are wasting their time raiding his home for no reason, if it happens again and they find nothing wrong he should log a complaint to investigate who is tipping them off and wasting police time.

    If the knives were not legal then tough on him, he deserves everything he gets.

    OP, if you combine your username with the policeman, all you need is a journalist and it won't take long to get your answer (allegedly).

    The knives are legal and there were only 3 of them, not an "arsenal" as described by one of the posters above. The initial raid led to no charges. The police then came back again a few weeks laters with more harrassment on his doorstep (not a raid).

    He wants to make a formal complaint against this corrupt imbecile but has no idea who to direct it toward

    I am so happy that I turned down a vacancy in the police force several years back. There are alot of hypocrite scumbags in the uniform.

    You do realise that when you go around making complaints about people with zero evidence, it can well turn into you being done for harassment?
  • What does this comment have to do with this thread? I can only presume your comment is a snide dig regarding the support of of a racist lady called Michelle ***** (surname masked for confidentiality).........oopsy.

    What has been said and done has been submitted to the MSE Admin team with sufficient evidence. I do not have to justify or prove anything to you madam.

    I am now reaching a point where I might have to show the Ace Of Spades I have stuck up my sleeve. I would rather not however, continuation of this type of harrassment may leave me with no choice.

    I love IT, information systems and the miracles tracert can do.

    Take care

    Erm, you missed their point completly. Unless you have proof that it was your mates ex and her new fella then making claims against them would get them done for harrassment should they be found to have not done this.

    No idea what the hell the rest of your rant is about mind.

    Ahh my bad.

    Sorry mate, I totally get you now. I presumed the comment was in support of a matter that occurred a few days back on here.

    Yes I understand that. He will complain bearing that in mind.

    Apologies for any misunderstanding.
