Marlieboy - they wereng going to arrest two if us but all four of us. After initial shock I got my coat and said okay then when the officer said you'll bd in a cell for hours until interviewed. So left if thinking a formal complaint may be best. When I spoke tj sargeant he said I could bring you all in. Basically if I continued with this then that was the only way as there were no independent witnesses bar.

Make sure you put this in writing, and bring this point up in your complaint to an inspector.

Imagine the compensation involved in wrongfully being bedded in a cell overnight. Scaremongering tactics like this are said to put you off making an official complaint or pressing charges. Its nothing short of blackmail, which his superiors will not be impressed with.

Should he appear again, be firm that you are not prepared to deal with him, as you know full well that he does NOT know enough about the law. Speak directly to those further up the chain.

Am reminded when a neighbour burgled my house, on finding my equipment in his attic and calling the Police, they looked at it all gathered in his attic and simply responded with "He was probably just taking the p1ss", they actually sighed when I said I still wanted to press charges.

Hi in one of your previous posts you said something along the lines of if I made a complaint against the police id be a marked man. Sorry if I've interpreted it. We're you being serious? Just that ex has said that I shouldn't continue with the complaint because if I'm going to be living around here they'll remember. Sounds paranoid but after today's events I'm thinking he may be right. But I'm still going to pursue it with my solicitor.

I have to be honest here. If you pursue your complaint, there are going to be 3? pairs of constables dealt with and a sergeant too. This is going to cause a stink.

I have very little trust in the police. I have been very aware of one of them trying to fit up a colleague on a pure fabrication, aided by a sergeant, leading to an arrest and prosecution. It was only when another colleague at another location heard about the prosecution that they put 2 and 2 together and realised that they had heard a conversation which demonstrated that the police officer was lying. The result was not a true acquittal, the CPS did not have the integrity to drop charges - instead they left the charges on file but presented no evidence.

Once this had been cleared up, the police then began harassing other colleagues.

So, yes, there is possibly a price to pay. Your advantage is that being female, you may be more believed than a male would be. Others may say that I and your ex are being ridiculous. Let each speak according to his own experience.

To be honest I know I will make a complaint regarding the police because even I can differentiate between civil and criminal. The operator said some police officers don't know about criminal law act when I asked how he did he said it had been drilled into him and he even mentioned sections to me. It beggars belief that the police don't know common acts to them like the criminal law act.
I just wish that it wasn't me doing it if that makes sense.
I have nothing against landlords at all but us mine so stupid to be doing all this? That's three times I've called the police on him. Are they going to wait for something serious to happen.

Its a true saying that the Police generally only turn up when YOU have done something wrong.

Sometimes, like the case of my colleague, it is the only way of knowing you have done something wrong.

Fascinating and very useful link.

It is unfortunate that the police forces' own training clearly leaves many officers with a woefully inadequate knowledge base.

Anyone having problems with their local plod over LL& T issues may like to point them in the direction of the relevant ATRO pages and/or push via their local Councillors to get the local TRO to ensure that police officers in their area are better prepared than those in this thread would appear to be

ASK who the duty solicitors are for the police station and ring them with your story and ask them can they meet you..when you make the complaint.

Yes one of exes friends had been physically mistreated by police but didn't dare to report it.

Sorry to be nosy, but I've been reading this thread, and growing concerned. Did the LL visit today as he said he would? And were the police involved?
