Force could get UK’s first police cat Don't ask me why, I haven't read it. Must have something to do with too many Geordies carry revolvers and the police needing some recruits with more than 6 lives. maybe.
Force could get UK's first police cat
feds i had my first proper run in with the law this weekend - lucky me!
i was at a gig on thursday and got kicked out for being a bit over excited apparently and they caught me with the bottle of gin that id snuck in, i left without causing too much of a fuss and when we got outside me and 2 of my cousins were being ushered away by about 10 stewards, and my cousin the moron punched one of them in the face. i didnt get involved whatsoever but the stewards tackled me to the ground anyway and sat on me digging his elbow into my neck until the police got there
the police arrested all 3 of us on suspicion of assault even though only one of us had been in a fight. i got arrested at 9 oclock and at the station they were being really arsey with me. they tried to get my fingerprints and photo, when i asked them why they were doing that cos i didnt think they were allowed he grabbed me and shouted 'dont try and be funny with me' so there was nothing i could do they got my prints and photo and put me in the cell. they kept me there until 2pm the next day which is when they had looked at the cctv and saw that i hadnt done anything. they were still being funny with me even then, making jokes asking if id enjoyed the gig and saying oh atleast youve got your ipod thats just as good as a gig,. pricks
i absolutely hate the police and i also want to know if i can have my prints and photo taken off the database because im not comfortable with them having even though i wasnt charged with anything
hope everyone had a better weekend than me haha

UK : East : Transcript of live webchat between Norfolk Constabulary and public Although PVR does not link directly to law enforcement websites for obvious security reasons (especially in the wake of global revelations about the scale of Internet monitoring and surveillance), I've attached this (copyright remains with Norfolk Constabulary 2013) at it appears to be a genuine attempt by a Police Service in England to explain how and why current Licensing legislation is enforced.
If you want to check its authenticity the Norfolk Constabulary website press releases of December 4th 2013 contain the links to this report.

HM Customs fines for bringing back items over the allotted amount. A friend of mine has been done for bringing back way to much baccy. It wasn't even hers but she was found with it.
HMC have issued her a paper fine which, including costs amounts to £1036. She is unemployed (on the sick) and has no way to be able to pay this amount.
What's the best advice here anyone please?
ES : Loud piano could land young woman in the clink! Spanish prosecutors are seeking a 20-month prison sentence for a professional pianist whose former neighbour is suing over alleged noise pollution.
Musician Laia Martin is on trial in Girona after her family's downstairs neighbour, Sonia Bosom, accused her of causing psychological harm.
Prosecutors are also demanding that the 27-year-old be banned from professional piano playing for six months.
A verdict is expected within two weeks.
Ms Martin's parents are also being sued and face a fine if found guilty.
Ms Bosom alleges that the pianist - a conservatoire student at the time - practised her piano for eight hours, five days a week from 2003-2007.
'Piano horror' The alleged victim said she now has such a horror of pianos, she cannot stand even seeing them in films, reports say.

The UK wont be far behind To all you recreational drug users and dealers out there, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is listening. Well actually, it’s the NSA that’s listening and watching. But Reuters has uncovered a secret DEA unit that uses the information collected by NSA surveillance programs to launch criminal investigations of Americans—primarily drug dealers who pose no threat to national security—and then cover up where the investigation originated from by recreating it using normal investigative techniques:
…documents reviewed by Reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to conceal how such investigations truly begin – not only from defense lawyers but also sometimes from prosecutors and judges.
The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to “recreate” the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant’s Constitutional right to a fair trial. If defendants don’t know how an investigation began, they cannot know to ask to review potential sources of exculpatory evidence – information that could reveal entrapment, mistakes or biased witnesses.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans.

Whole thing is due to be scrapped anyway. Presumably because organized crime is now extinct outside of Westminster. :laugh_at:
UK : East : local bell-end nicks Ipswich doorbells we do seem to have some really stupid/bizzare criminals here... :hopeless:
I always fix these bell pushes on with decent wood screws as I don't trust the stick on pads anyway, :wink:
Officers are asking anyone with information about the thefts to call them after the bells were taken over the course of an eight-day period.
At first residents were unaware that other neighbouring properties had been targeted by the thief.
The thefts were eventually discovered after a visitor called on a resident in the Pinebrook area of Ipswich. The visitor knocked on the door of a semi-detached property in Acorn Close, off Belmont Road.
When the occupant asked why they had not rung the doorbell the visitor said they could not see one.
The female householder discovered the stick-on bell had been taken.
When she made enquiries at other properties in the cul-de-sac, it was discovered that seven other premises in the close had also had their bells stolen.
The matter was then reported to police.
Officers have said the doorbells were taken some time between 7pm on Monday, January 3, and 7.30pm on Tuesday, January 11.

"No comment" really is an option with the cops BBC News - Ex CQC-head 'declined to talk to police investigation'
Quote:
The former head of the Care Quality
Commission declined to take part in a police investigation into babies' deaths
at Furness General Hospital.
Documents seen by the BBC show that officers in Cumbria asked to speak to
Cynthia Bower and two other named officials at England's health watchdog.
Police were investigating the death of baby Joshua Titcombe at the
hospital.
But the CQC told police Ms Bower and a second official had no day-to-day
involvement in the case.
They added that witness statements would therefore not "add any value to the
investigation".
The details of the police enquiries are revealed in email correspondence over
four days in January 2012.
In one message, a detective says: "I have listed the names of the people I
need to speak to and the reason for obtaining a statement."
Ms Bower's name is then listed alongside the names of two other senior
officials at the watchdog with the sentence: "I need to obtain a statement from
you and your involvement in the CQC investigation."
The police acknowledge that the individuals may only have been copied into
emails about the case and in which case a statement would not be required.
A CQC official later tells the police that Ms Bower and another official did
not have "direct day to day involvement" with the case, and would only have been
copied into correspondence about it as a matter of procedure.
The CQC official then says that neither Ms Bower nor another official "are
able to furnish police with witness statements that would add any value to the
investigation".
'Series of errors'
Cumbria police were looking into the case of nine-day-old Joshua Titcombe who
died from a treatable infection after being born at the maternity ward of
Furness General Hospital.
Joshua Titcombe died nine days
after being born at Furness General Hospital
A coroner's report identified a series of errors by medical staff and police
later widened their inquiry to include the deaths of a number of other babies at
the hospital.
This week an independent report into the CQC's handling of events at the
local health trust in Morecambe Bay was highly critical of the watchdog, listing
a series of failures and "missed opportunities".
The report also found evidence of an alleged cover-up, in which Ms Bower was
said to be present at a meeting where an instruction was given to delete an
internal review critical of the CQC.
Ms Bower denies having any note or recollection of the instruction being to
given to delete a report and says she would have countermanded it.
The meeting is said to have taken place in March 2012, less than two months
after the exchange of emails between the CQC and Cumbria Police.
Joshua Titcombe's father James says he was "surprised" when he first learned
that police didn't see any value in a witness statement from Cynthia Bower,
describing the situation as "questionable".
"There's an urgent need now for police to investigate Cynthia Bower's
actions," he said.
Cumbria police say they were not investigating the CQC and they obtained
witness statements from those people they needed to speak to at the
watchdog.
In a statement the force says: "Any decisions regarding investigating the CQC
will be considered in due course when all the relevant information is
available."
The CQC says it stands by its position from last year regarding witness
statements to Cumbria Police.
Ms Bower could not be reached for comment regarding the decision not to give
police a witness statement.
Remember that next time a police officer asks you for an opinion or a signature. You don't have to give one.
Strange case of fireworks mistaken for "lethal cannabis". Community Support Officers... you've got to love 'em. :crazy:
Henley on Thames News | Fun snaps found on Henley street
Quote:
HENLEY must have one of the lowest crime rates in the country so it came as a surprise when 32 wraps of “cannabis” were found in the centre of town.
Police community support officer Helen Anderson found the “drugs” lying on the pavement outside Gorvett and Stone chocolatiers in Duke Street.
She told the Standard: “If a dog or small child had picked some up and eaten them, then it could have been fatal.”
Police tried to get CCTV footage of the “suspect” who had dropped the suspicious packages but the cameras were facing the opposite direction.
Within minutes of the Standard publishing a picture of the wraps online, readers were quick to point out that they were fun snaps, novelty fireworks, which are available from Bagatelle in Bell Street.
Police have reopened their investigation. It would appear they are now on the lookout for a litter lout rather than a drug dealer.
