There is a difference between asking a minor a question, and interviewing them. They don't have to have an adult present to ask ' did you steal those sweets'. And I don't know the full circumstances any more than you do. In fact I doubt that NewKittenHelp knows the full circumstances.
Unlike you and I, Newkittenhelp was actually there at the time, but you just cannot bring yourself to accept someone else's eye witness account and admit that maybe the police are as human as the rest of us and sometimes get it wrong, can you?
There is nothing more ridiculous than someone who insists they are right all the time.0 -

Get your facts right.If a young person is taken to a police station
If you are stopped or arrested by the police they must let your parents or carers know. Police can't question you unless there is another adult present.0 -

Erm, and what are you doing?
YOU have made a complete t*t of yourself all over this thread aggressively accusing people of being police haters because they have a different opinion to yours.
The only person who doesn't appear to have a life on this thread is yourself, but carry on it's hilarious. :rotfl:
Not at all. I'm under no illusion that the police are saints. But the majority of them do a very good job, under very difficult circumstances. And it makes things far more difficult for them when people who have an anti police attitude (due to a few isolated incidents) try to spread the word that the police are all corrupt thugs. All this does is give the wrong signal to todays children. We want our kids to grow up as law abiding citizens, who respect the police, rather than trying to compete with them.0 -

Very true, I think it is time I followed your example and put "JC" on ignore.
Do you think that if the police saw his posts on here he might risk being arrested for incitement? He has, after all, been advocating that the police themselves are free to break the law. Very naughty
And on that pleasant thought....

Read Newkittenhelp's post, and you will see that they were not actually there at the start.
And we only have their side of the story.
But even if Newkittenhelp is correct. This is an isolated incident, and not all the police officers in the country.
Your blinkered attitude is what causes discrimination. I can remember an argument with someone, who had the attitude that because some black men had been responsible for a violent mugging in the area, that all the black men in the area were muggers. Now I'm sure you will agree that this is rediculous, but many people seem to be applying the same logic to the police.0 -
