My experiences when I complained about the police

Good cop and bad cop
We should remember who we are giving these powers to - not only the good natured trustworthy police, but also the bad cops who may use these powers to intimidate innocent members of the public.

I'm going to outline some reasons why I don't trust the police and why I believe they are ineffective. I have never been in trouble with the police until recently and I am in general a law abiding person.

| 13-3-2010 | Thank you for your agreement Freddie. Although the Police may be legally entitled to, I've never seen or heard of a Police officer issue one around here, I'm not disagreeing with you, but it could perhaps just be one of those things that varies from force to force as to whether they actuall...more | Elmo |
| 11-3-2010 | Elmo....The Police can and do issue parking tickets. I agree with your other point though ;-) | Freddie |
| 10-3-2010 | The police don't issue parking tickets retard. And you kept saying how drunk you were, is it possible they offered you a blanket and you forgot? Oh no? They wrestled you to the ground and you hit your head?!?! Man up ffs. | Elmo |

| 22-2-2010 | I've known people to be prosecuted for this. Admittedly I left the job 10 years ago and things may have changed in that time but previously people were arrested for this under the criminal attempts act. That made it an arrestable offence! You know the one where you don't have to commit the ...more | Freddie |

As a former police officer you must have been taught the basics of English law and should not confuse powers of arrest with an illegal act. You could not, for example prosecute someone for attempting suicide.
If you believe this to be the case I would be interested to hear under what ...more | Congo |
| 22-2-2010 | Attempted suicide is 100% against the law. As a former police officer I have legally detained many people for this over the years.
The power used to do so falls under section 25 of the Police and Criminal Evidence act 1984, otherwise known as PACE. Under this legislation a Police Officer can arres...more | Freddie |

Attempted suicide is not illegal under English law, a person can be detained under the Mental Health Acts 1983/2007 but one is certainly not under arrest. The decision to detain is clinical not judicial.
I must confess I am not familiar with Scottish law; I imagine the situ...more | Congo |
| 19-2-2010 | You would not believe the number of occasions where I tried on the behalf of others to get help for them only to be knocked back by the system. Not to mention the amount of criminals that go unpunished because of the frailty of the system. It is incredibly frustrating as a police officer to try and...more | Freddie |
| 19-2-2010 | A prisoner should be stripped of every possession if they are potentially suicidal. If they don't do it and you hurt yourself whilst in custody with something about your person then they are in a lot of trouble. Their duty of care is to prevent you from harming yourself.
Attempted suicide is i...more | Freddie |
