Good policing or just invasive?

Think alot of people arent aware of the laws. so here goes.

You are approached by police whilst in your vehicle.

You should, but do not have to, turn your engine off. You should do so, so you may film the encounter using an electical device. As the laws which relate to mobile phone usage apply to stationary vehicles.

You should lower the window approximately 8 centimetres, so you can speak to the officer.

You should not leave your vehicle. You must only do so if you are arrested. Film the encounter.

You can film the police (s.44 of the terrorims act has been abolished). Do so.

You do not need to answer any questions. However you must provide your details. These can be written down for the officer.

You should ensure they show you their warrent card and identify themselves, giving their name and their station.

You should remain calm. (To the poster who said being rude is illegal. It is not, you've watched one to many brit cops. S.5 of the public order act deals specifically where a person may feel threatened with immediate violence, as a resultof the actions of another. Swearing is not illegal.)

lways make sure your doors are locked, the police do test this, even though they shouldnt.

These precautions will keep everyone on the right side of the law.

I've seen you give some horrifically inaccurate legal 'advice' on the house buying board before - I'd advise anyone who reads this to tread carefully when it comes to following this.

Really?



Did he hit or push him?

pushed him first and then wacked him with a truncheon. Died from injuries sustained in the fall. If you or i pushed someone over and they died from these injuries we would be done for manslaughter - it appears to be different rules for police.

It may be "correct" but you'd better be 100% certain that everything is in order with your car if you plan to wind them up like that. You'd be surprised what they can (completely legally) find wrong if you play the rule book and they decide to play it back

How?

He stood trial and 'we' found him not guilty.

Which law firm to you work for? :think::whistle:

Most phones have video capability, if not then a cheap camera in your car is a good idea for insurance purposes anyway.

The police must identify themselves, uniform or not, you are entitled to know the name and station of any officer you have dealings with.

Opening the door can be construed as a search, for which they would require reasonable suspicion

Feel free to link this advice, and I'll link a hundred posts providing accurate information by me. Since I've not posted for months, I think ur memory is playing tricks on you.

Feel free to correct my post, I take no responsibility for people failing to maintain their vehicles
