I'd love to add a yard of elastic on and exagerate but I cant

I answered my front door to three students who where being abusive, told em to eff off and shut the door in their faces. I wasn't even asked my side of the storey, just nicked. I wasn't drunk and wasn't abusive to
the police

It was an arguement between neighbours about rubbish that had calmed down and no harm was done. The students
addmitted in court that they had littered, been abusive to me and they had been drinking all day yet I was convicted cos the police said I was drunk and they were trained to spot a drunk person. It really was as
laughable as it sounds.

All through the proceedings I continually asked my solicitor for a copy of the tape and I wrote to someone to get a copy but never even got a reply

Is it normal police practice to attend an altercation, listen to one side of the storey and nick the other person without asking his/her version of events because that is exactly what happened! I'm sure I put a post
on here aboutit if anyone can be bothered to look for it
 
thank christ for that the only piece of sense from you officer was post 69 the others were complete tosh and you have not done either yourself or the force any favours.
 
please do lock this post as i dont want this site to become like some others with agressive posts etc going on and people getting out of hand as that is not what NESA is all about.

playing devils advocate here

your mate has a model gun in his hand

shouts at students in the street

do they know it is a model.

police respond appropriately not knowing it is a fake

and you complain - what if you had what you thought was a gun pointed at you would you not want a swift action appropriate to what you/the police percieve the threat.
 
true jason and i know what you mean but 2 police cars in the front and 1 round the back with armed officers and potentially a helicopter just because of a phone call ?
 
i know mate but at the time they would not have known the history and true threat so have to treat each call as if it is real.
