21st Century Fox Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 mercury is not very metally at all , you can punch that ! I've since spent much of my time campaigning for more dragon topiarists to use mercury in their skeletons but they just don't want to listen Zing, they just don't want to listen.
1964FOX Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Me and the police didn't get on well till I was 18. OP I will tell you about it next time I see you.
Rincewind Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Re caution A bloke I worked with was arrested for stealing a bike a couple of years back. He was taken to the police station, questioned all day, was not allowed any phone calls and was told that if he admitted the offence he would be allowed to go with a caution that would not go on his record. Eventually he caved in thinking he could prove his innocence at a later date. He took in photos of him with the bike taken of a CCTV screen. He said cameras in in the city centre would show him with the bike before he was supposed to have stolen. The PC dealing with it did not want to see the evidence. The seargent at the station said it was nothing to do with him and when he took other evidence in the PC was not available. It came about when somebody reported to the police that he had seen this bloke on the bike and was believed. He was even handed the bike. My mate said he bought the bike off a neighbour who unfortunately denyed it when questioned but retracted later. He was afraid of being involved. He is a sort of a timid person, a devout muslim who I have never known to raise his voice in anger. Even the person sitting in when he was being questioned was part of the police and advised him to confess even if innocent. I think most people would have demanded to see a senior officer at the station because procedures were not followed. No phone call or at least they told him a phone call had been made on his behalf. I did the shift before him and knew nothing about what had happened having to do half his shift as well. Even my boss knew nothing and when told was given little information. Don't know what has happened since. Think he did seek advice eventually but that caution could stay with him.
Ilkeston_Fox Posted 20 June 2012 Author Posted 20 June 2012 Am I obliged to answer that question officer ? Haha, of course not, I'm not interrogating you However, failure to comply..... Me and the police didn't get on well till I was 18. OP I will tell you about it next time I see you. Sounds interesting, see you at Torquay away
Saxondale Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 I've not been properly questioned, just the odd talking to and driving things. Still think they're ****s. Sorry Ilko.

ithuriel Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Cant stand the police, i have my reasons and know how useless they can be if you need them, how thuggish they can be from my days in security and stewarding and how they can screw you over from my only time i got into trouble with the law whilst having to defend myself.
ADK Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 I got accused of being racist by some people who assualted me, don't think it was taken seriously though.
Daggers Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 We went to The Swan at Lamport for a Sunday session. On the way home to Npton, seeing as the car was full of Nov5th bangers, two of us drunkenly lit them and lobbed them at the cars following. As you do. My girlfriend spent the journey being Mrs Killjoy and bollocking us for being idiots. Later, having been to the corner shop for more beer, there was a knock at the door. My girlfriend answered it as a mate shouted it was the police - we all legged it out the back while she admitted to driving and throwing fireworks all at the same time and profusely apologised. To this day I've no idea why she did that but since she married me I've come to realise that her decision making skills are obviously flawed.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 I've been talked to a few times for driving when I was young. I particularly dislike sarky coppers... "were you aware you went round that corner on two wheels sir?" is one line that will stay with me for life. In my very first old banger of a car one fine winter's, clear blue sky with the sun low to the horizon, I was driving along with a balaclava on because the heaters didn't work and sunglasses because the sun was low and bright and I got stopped and searched - I can only assume because I looked like a terrorist. However, worst of all was an "almost" moment... Earlier in the day a dog had run out infront of my car and I'd killed it (with the car - this wasn't some act of revenge for it's audacity.) It was laying in the middle of the road with blood everywhere (it's ballbag had split and one of it's testicles was hanging out... it wasn't nice), so I parked up next to it to move it out of the road with the help of my mate. It was a hot day and I had my window wound down. I got out of my car and carefully stepped around the dog to get into position to move it, but another car came speeding past and I had to step out of the way. The car sped past me, through the now rather large pool of blood from the dog, spraying it up the side of my car door, in through the window, all over the dashboard, the ceiling, the inside of the windscreen, the steering wheel and the seats. The dog was pulled into the gutter and my mate and I did our best to clean the blood off with some old rags from the boot (all bangers have old rags in the boot), but there was still a fair bit of blood splatter in and on the car, but we continued on with our journey... only for a cop car to pull up next to us at the first set of traffic lights. My mate and I were bobbing ourselves that they'd look across and see a car sprayed with blood, but they never did. Oh, and for the record, when I got home I reported the death of the dog (as I believe you're legally required to do.)
Saxondale Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Had an amusing run-in with the French police once. Some friends (English and Dutch) and I were cycling round Agde at night, pissed, with no lights and generally being lairy. I used my standard Anglo-French situation avoidance technique of pretending not to understand them at all. Though twats, they are also French, which means they eventually shrugged their shoulders in that inimitable Gallic way and left us to it.
The Doctor Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 May have had a talk with the police after a mate made the willy puller sign at them and I shouted ACAB, but nothing came of it. With the difference of the pavement height, the policeman was about level with the bottom of my ribs - can't really laugh at an angry midget when they're in the police though. Oh, and 5 minutes later the police gave us a bit of a stare driving by while someone (not me) pissed on the door of a boarded up house.
Bert Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Never been warned/cautioned. The only time I've had the police speak to me is when I was giving a statement for a murder I'd seen.
Leicfox Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Haha, of course not, I'm not interrogating you However, failure to comply..... I've been watching a lot of Freeman Vs The Police clips on YouTube.
sphericalfox Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Never been warned/cautioned. The only time I've had the police speak to me is when I was giving a statement for a murder I'd seen. Was it after the Portsmouth match?
m00nie Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 i was a nob in my teens and took the wrong path so had quite a lot of "chats" with them
Ilkeston_Fox Posted 20 June 2012 Author Posted 20 June 2012 I've been watching a lot of Freeman Vs The Police clips on YouTube. Yeah I've seen a few myself, more than anything they made for amusing viewing.
Jaspa Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Yeah I've seen a few myself, more than anything they made for amusing viewing. How about this guy ?
Danno Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 Had to give a statement about a rape i'd seen at the King Power when we played Milwall.
Orkneyfox Posted 20 June 2012 Posted 20 June 2012 I was on my second honeymoon in Tunisia, driving back to the hotel in a hurry when I was pulled over by 2 french speaking Tunisian gendarmes for overtaking on a double white line. The motorbikes and machine guns persuaded me not to argue, but my new wife, despite my instructions, refused to sit quietly in the car and marched over and started demanding to know what was going on. It took a while for me to get her to see that this was not culturally appropriate. I paid an on the spot fine which turned out to be about £4.00 as the gendarmes seemd not to care about my story that it was a mistake as we didn't have double white lines in England.
Tom17LCFC Posted 21 June 2012 Posted 21 June 2012 Only little slaps on the wrist for being a general tool on nights out, nothing major.
1964FOX Posted 21 June 2012 Posted 21 June 2012 Had to give a statement about a rape i'd seen at the King Power when we played Milwall. That wasn't rape, some of the players clearly consented.
Captain... Posted 21 June 2012 Posted 21 June 2012 Got a few hours in the cells after a car accident, it was my mum's car not long after passing my test, my parents were on holiday abroad somewhere and I had my mate with me and we had a little crash with a parked car at about 1am (don't ask), we didn't really know what to do the car wouldn't start and it was kinda stuck in the middle of the road, the other cars alarm was going off, my mate wanted to leg it, but that seemed a bit stupid so we started to push the car so it was no longer an obstruction when a voice from a top window shouts out "I've called the police", my mate now really wants to leg it, but I just didn't see the point, so I convinced him to help me move the car and wait for the police to turn up. They screech up with blues and twos to see us 2 looking very sheepish and a Clio with a bent up front, the other car was barely scratched. Did the obvious and breathalyse us, but we hadn't been drinking so not worried about that, then they radioed in to call off the dogs I think that might have been for our benefit, then they asked about the car and the insurance, and I said I don't really know much about it, I had only been driving it a few weeks, I was insured, and they checked out the insurance and they confirmed that, then they asked about the ownership of the car, and I said it was my Mum's and he asked if she could confirm that I was permitted to use it, and I said yes, but she is on holiday, so the cvnts arrested me for taking without owners, this was in the days before mobiles so I couldn't contact them as they were in Spain, they were due back the next day. So they took us to the station, took individual statements and we were kept in separate cells and released around 4am. I am pretty sure they did it just to shake us up. and it did, but it has to be one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life, that and having to explain to my parents what happened when they got back the next day.
James. Posted 22 June 2012 Posted 22 June 2012 Got 2 cautions on separate occasions for the same offence but we won't go into detail. Other than those I was once stopped at 10am on a Sunday morning in the New Forest because my driving was of a standard that gave the police officer reasonable cause to assume I was drunk. It would have been less embarassing if I had been drunk because as it was I was stone cold sober and just driving incredibly badly.
