Due a police visit - help

1940sGal

I must admit this thread has made me chuckle. All this because the police want to know the OP's side of things.

Reminds me of my psycho neighbour. You've only got to look at her the wrong way and she's phoning the police about you. And this is not an exaggeration, we're on first name terms with most of the cops round here. Ours is like their second home :rotfl:

Never felt the need to come on a forum and ask advice mind. The old saying's right, if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to be worried about.

The police have to follow up on this allegation, it's their job. Invite them in, tell them your side and don't worry. If it were serious enough that they wanted to arrest you, they'd have done it by now.

That list is only exhaustive if the police are decent upstanding honest diligent and hardworking. Too many of them are lazy, vindictive malicious and mendacious.

No doubt some are, but "too many of them are" in my eyes, is ridiculous.

Most officers are extremely hard working and want to catch the guys (and gals) that do the harm in our society.

I resent most emphatically, your suggestion that too many police officers are the things you say.

They work hard and they face idiots every day.

I'm not a police officer before you jump on me, but I worked many years alongside them, the scum these guys have to deal with on a daily basis defies belief.

I suggest you move to another country, where you can really get the type of police you talk about. Then you might not be so complaining about what we have.

I think you have just summed up your own ignorance.

To start with, I'm no police lover. I'm a realist who looks at things from a balanced point of view. Rather than just a one sided one.

I'm not going into individual cases. But there are 12 member of the jury to give a balanced view. To find someone guilty, it has to be beyond rewasonable doubt. If there is any doubt, then that person can't be found guilty.

Just great being found not guilty by a Jury after 6 months on remand or out on bail with it hanging over you. I lost a chance of a good job because I was waiting for a court case years ago. And spent a holiday weekend in a bare police cell when I was first arrested.

I do not agree with you.

One is too many. You have conceded that some are. So you are effectively resenting a truth you accept.

Did they join the police thinking they would be dealing with the cream of society and helping old ladies find their cats then?

I worked very closely with the police for 2 years in Northern Ireland all the guys I knew were well aware before they joined their job would be dealing with criminals as well as the genreal public, most of them managed to tell the difference too.

I'm resenting the casual way you and others are lambasting the entire police service, for what is without doubt a tiny percentage.

I accept the truth, that they do a very difficult job and are constantly criticised for either doing things one way, or the other. That a small minority of officers, are in one way or another, not of the standard they should be.

I think that many of the shortcomings of the police are institutionalised rather than a matter of individuals. In the same way that some issues with catholic priests are institutionalised.

In other words, the issues with the police and the priests are not a matter of majorities or large or small minorities. They are a matter of a corrupt system which cover over for the minority of deficient priests or officers to the extent that the institution is brought into disrepute.

So... we haven't heard from the OP since the police visited? Uh oh... lol!
