Spoken to by the Police...

Having read through the 'Murder' thread, and read the amount of comments from people stating they've been spoken to by the police for whatever reason, it got me thinking of my youth. I have only had one encounter with the police and am wondering is this uncommon - did I get away with only having been spoken to once?

I was spoken to by a police officer for throwing a stone at a school window - in fact, I'd done no such thing, I along with another school friend, had cut through past said school on our way to the swimming baths just up the road (their vending machines were loads better than the schools so we sometimes popped up there). I was threatened with a criminal damage charge and also a fine for the damage.

Upon our return we were carted off in front of everyone to the headmasters office. Long story short, the CCTV showed two people moments before throwing the stones and us walking past after. Case closed and off we went.

That is the only time I have ever been spoken to/investigated by the police. Without trying to get this in to the police are all thugs thread, or a you're all criminals thread, what are you experiences, good or bad?

Note, I am a serving Special Constable, I won't be divulging anything job related, or anything that is currently being investigated, I'm just curious as to what experiences you've had in the past.

When I was 13 I was accused of racism, had a fight with some Asian lad at school (seriously not sure why) and it went on from there, think it started with me just having a general joke, him reacting like a bellend and it going from strength to strength (if that's the right terminology).

Couple of weeks later I get in from school and my mum's in her room crying, I wonder wtf, find out she'd had a visit off the police claiming I'd used racist language towards him and I ended up in tears too. Was a complete and utter lie. Just for details he claimed I called him a "black bastard" when I'd called him a "fat bastard" (ironic). He either mis-heard it or really was just clutching at straws.

I was interviewed by the police, pretty scared, they said they were surprised by how calm I seemed and how I didn't end up in tears like most people my age. Pretty much talked my way out of it (pretty embarrassing in front of my parents who aren't exactly keen on me swearing but this was a far bigger issue), refused to accept a caution and eventually charges were dropped and nothing was heard.

From what I remember after that me/him still bumped into each other but I guess we didn't really say anything.

An experience though but I'd done no wrong.

I've been spoken to twice. The first time when I was about 11. I was with my sisters on the train tracks and someone reported us for supposedly throwing stones at the trains. We were actually throwing berries which were splattering all over the windows. We were picked up and taken home and spoken to. Luckily, they didn't know about the cartons of milk that we put on the tracks, giving the trains a lovely milk bath when they went over them. It was quite spectacular. The second time I was about 14 and walking home from school with a couple of friends. One of them set fire to a crisp packet and put it in a post box, no idea why. Unfortunately, it was spotted by a teacher and he reported the 3 of us. I was interviewed at home and had to give a statement. Luckily we'd all told the truth and the lad who did it just got a warning

I've been warned (nb. not cautioned) a couple of times for stupid stuff whilst pissed, once at a festival (aged about 15) I decided they'd really like to hear my rendition of NWA's **** The Police, I was wrong on that occasion. Another time it was my 21st birthday and I was dancing on top of one of those massive, double-width post boxes on Tottenham Court Road, again, they weren't as impressed as my equally drunk peers.

Never anything serious, though, and never been arrested or properly questioned for anything. Don't know many people that have, either, except for driving offenses but I think that's a bit different.

Had a night out in Cambridge for a few who couldn't make my stag night.4 lads had a go at our group and it kicked off,the result was all 4 of the lads who started it where knocked out cold,one with a broken jaw,being dressed as a French maid myself we were not hard to find and although I was so pissed I was put on an Id parade on the night.thought my time was up as I was the only one in fancy dress.Hassled every day from the police,wanting to know who was with me,when my wedding was etc.in the end the case against one of my mates was dropped but was a worry.it wasn't even us that started it either,if they wanted to act the big guy and have a go they should have taken it on the chin.oh they did.

I've been a good boy. Got a CRB to prove it. Only time I have spoken to them is when I was on the receiving end of wrong doing and in my job.

I've never been in trouble with the Police at all. But when I was about 11, me and some friends were outside playing when a car of men pulled up and tried to drag one of my younger friends in. Luckily his dad came out at that exact point and saw and legged it after the car. He couldn't catch it, but got the licence plate and called the Police. Got interviewed about that. But have never been in trouble before. Unless you count 3 points on my drivers licence for speeding. :/

I was interviewed by the Yorkshire ripper investigation team in my home because I had a car similar to one seen near the ripper crime scenes. They interviewed me for about an hour asking all sorts of questions like where I was on a certain date, (with my boring life style I struggle to remember what I was doing a few days ago although these days I can probably say I was on Foxestalk :P ) and what size shoes I wore and so on.

When I was about 5 and living in London I was found wandering around Harrods, it was considered much safer in those days for a 5 year old to be playing outside on their own as we used to live a few streets away from there. I was taken home in a Black Maria (old name for a police van) at least I must have known where I lived so I probably wasn't lost.

For some reason I get stopped and searched every single time I fly on a plane, they always take me through the 'terrorists only' section. I'm now past getting angry about it now but I've had some indignant rants during the first few.

Atheist + white + middle class + kids must be the profile.

I'm always being suspected of being the brilliant mastermind of all the great heists such as Great Train Robbery , Brinks Mat , Antwerp Diamond Center etc etc , but they can never make anything stick .

I'm untouchable really .

I once called a Policeman a willy puller and he took down all my details and said I'd have to go court. A couple of days later he called me and said I could avoid court if I went in and signed a piece of paper and took a caution. I went it dubious, but he assured me that cautions stay on your file for a year and then completely disappear - not even the Police would know had been there. Anyway, turns out it actually stayed on your record for 5 years and now, due to a change in the law, it actually will never disappear - forever I'll have a caution for 'violent or threatening behaviour in public' on any checks.

Absolute disgrace.

I once got stopped after being viewed on CCTV climbing a lamp post, sitting lotus style on top of a phonebox, screaming the lyrics to Cum On Feel The Noize and punching a topiary dragon in the face. The best part was they claimed I'd given them the middle finger until I showed them my hand which was pissing blood as the topiary dragon had a very metal skeleton underneath. That was a good night.

Once got arrested in a toilet in a park at night. I was going for a stroll needed a wee, slipped on some discarded tissue paper and my penis slipped through a hole in the cubicle wall. Apparently someone was on the other side. I think his name was Gary, but anyway Police were watching as apparently the toilet was a hotspot for "glory holing" (still don't know what this means but it's bad apparently)

Vile disgusting people in my opinion

Driving back from RAF Lynham early hours of the morning, got stopped by the police on Soar Valley Way. Said my driving was 'erratic' I asked specifically what offence I had committed and he asked told me he had a number of concerns and to get out of the car. I got out of the car still wearing the desert combat fatigues I had left Iraq in, sand on my gaiters and boots. he asked where I had come from so I said Basra. He looked at me for a few seconds and the penny dropped. He thanked me for my time and wished my a safe journey home. After a long, difficult journey I wanted to get home to my family, I was irritable and pissed off, I was driving perfectly normally, I was tired but so much that I could not drive safely. I felt like knocking his block off, if I had just been driving back from a night shift at Magna Park think he would have made something of it.
