Police Office Abusing his power and position

System

Also I've only had a quick read but it appears it is illegal to own certain types of knives in your own home. For instance it's illegal to own a flick knife unless you bought it before 1959

Ok, if this policeman was really abusing his power and mr knifey was totally innocent, they would kind of realise this eventually.

Police would keep investigating, finding nothing and would question the person supplying misleading 'intel'

So why complain?

Unless the knife people have something to hide, just leave the situation alone and eventually it will end. Policeman can't keep giving incorrect or false information without questions being asked.

Oh so naive.

As far as I know there aren't any knives knifes that are illegal to posses unless they were looking for evidence to say he imported or trying to sell them.

Does that include lock knives and flick knives?

To perform a "raid" could take weeks/months of gathering intelligence, one random source won't qualify as it will have to be graded and subject to further checks to prove its validity, before going before magistrates to get a warrant.

Else if it was so easy to do...then crikey every time mrs miggins phoned up about them across the road who always talk to strange people out their windows would lead to much wasted time.

So either the OP is not telling us everything about his "mate" or is not aware of the full facts.

:huh:

Although we know things do not move at lightening pace within most police forces, I don't think such things take weeks or months.

This was hardly what you could call a "raid".

More like a knock on the door to make enquries.

That will tell you if and when his file has been accessed. They don't like dealing with these, so keep sending them. Also ask for all documentation relating to property search's and any video. Its funny.

This can chew up alot of police time, His boss will see it does not happen again.

Dexters_Indignation

They may claim it could ruin an ongoing investigation. HA

But I doubt it, especially if you say it is to use as a complaint about this ex's new tough boy copper...

I know they do it.
I find it funny when it happens to someone naive, "I never though the police could act that way"

Yes they can.
Yes they do.

I once knew of a nutter who would sit outside her ex's house in her police car!

She even had his new girlfriend arrested.

She is still in the force.....

Trust me it does, unless its of an imperative nature that would put a mass amount of lives in danger if not acted upon, for a standard warrant to get passed in court takes alot of intelligence gathering over a period of time, the intelligence needs to be good quality and reliable otherwise the magistrate is going to say no.

Section & won't tell you when your file has been accessed, its a CRB check basically.
You'll have to till out the form pay a fee and in 40 days you'll get a letter back saying if you have and previous convictions for anything.

It's not going to tell you who said what tho and where the information in the OP came from so will prove nothing in this case.
