Bank Locked Us In without consent False Imprisonment

my local pub often used to lock us in after hours.....

It's actually quite exciting witnessing a bank robbery. When they hit the panic button the shutters activate instantly and the doors lock automatically, with everyone still inside and nobody gets out until the police negotiators arrive.

The one I witnessed, a police officer offered himself as a hostage and was dragged in the door and pinned to the wall inside by one of the armed robbers.

Even then, nobody was allowed to leave.


I expect the op would have been remonstrating with the robbers about false imprisonment lol

You are not going to get the help you asked for here apparently, so I suggest you and your fellow "prisoners " contact a solicitor, sometimes you get a free consultation, and depending on their advice escalate this up to the police.

"You are not going to get the help you asked for here apparently"
I already have. But thanks for the input. I've edited this as the amount of abuse on this thread has made me somewhat cynical. I've had some good advice earlier up the thread though. Thanks for the input.

As a matter of interest Emiliano, and just in case I missed it in one of your posts, were you actually one of the 'detainees'? Your thread title suggests you were but your opening post reads otherwise. Are you also able to evidence the state of all 'detainees'' mental capacity?

The only reason I ask is because I may have something that might help you.

I hope you are not a betting person and that you are aware that passive aggression raises blood pressure.

Thank you for the input, I shall not be responding further.

You are aware, aren’t you, that you are being passive aggressive here?

I’ll try to say explicitly what others have been saying in a roundabout way; you would be laughed out of any court in the land with your claim. To claim that this is akin to kidnapping is ridiculous, and suggests that you are having a psychotic episode rather than having a valid complaint.

I want one of these "I won't be responding further" badges of honour. How far do I need to go to get one?

OP, your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

A bunch of customers (with mental capacity!) were locked in a bank branch a week ago. Lack of consent was clearly expressed, but the bank didn't let them out.

Yeah, right. And not one of these people had a smartphone and thought to upload a video to Youtube wherever showing the lock in,or to contact the Daily Mail to sell their story?:rotfl::rotfl:

Chor blimey. First wrongly imprisoned by a bank, and then receiving amounts of abuse on the MSE Forum. Poor thing. Try a hot chocolate.

Thank God for one good laugh today!:rotfl:

This must be one of the more bizarre threads on these Forums.
