Last year me and my friends used to get harrased daily by the police trying to arrest us for something. over the winter they calmed down but all of a sudden they are back around us. Today they believed from the CCTV footage that we was dealing drugs in front of a camera i mean come on we've got more common sense than that!!!! One of the officers decided to search me on the grounds i was holding drugs when the question was asked i responded saying no and their information was wrong i told i was mouthing back . but if you are being accused of something your not going to let them but the blame on you are you? Also the police in my area are very mouthy and like to show they have authority.
Does any one know the rights for the public against a police officer?
Dont get me wrong i do respect the police but they complain when the "youth of today" dont show them any respect but they dont in return
as you can tell this has rattled my cage ! and i want to make a full complaint against her. has any one got any past information?
thank you x

These are public message boards whether you're a grass or not - it's a pretty stupid idea to own up to commiting any crime don't you think.
rich.. I don't think he is..otherwise he wouldn't be so pissed off lol..
Possibly the most unfortunate double negative in the history of the universe....
Well you know me...
May as well just go about quietly, let them get on with battling the people who are fighting against them, while you get on with your own thing.
There's some info on TheSite that may help. There's an article about stop and search and there's a section about your rights and the police.
If you're really concerned about the way they've been treating you, there may be information on Liberty's website that could help you.
Hope this helps,

I live next to a pretty rough estate and my street name is the same name as what the estate gets called. When I was younger and police liked hassling me and my mates when we were just minding our own business, as soon as I told them where I lived they were like "you had a bath today" and shit like that. Nobs, just about all of them.
What about the Drugs forum? It's full of people asking for tips when they try such and such for the first time at the weekend.
When you are stopped they should be filling in a stop and search form, this will include your name and address, why your being searched, who they are and where they are based. You are then allowed to ask for a copy of this form at their police station I think a week after the event.
So next time you are stopped, be nice, ask why you are being searched politely. Then say that you will be wanting a copy of the stop and search form and ask them details about their station.
Oh and of course if you are arrested for drugs charges then Release are the people to contact. They are nice people and bound to help you in whatever way they can.
www.release.org.uk I think.
:yes:
It's amazing what you can get away with when you're polite.
I have had a lot of runnings with the police but only being arrested twice, both times when I had done something wrong. The rest of the times and there is sooo many it is unbelievable I have done nothing wrong and I am getting hassled for no reason. I don't take shit from no-one so I ain't gonna sit back and let a copper give me shit just because he is a copper. They all have a massive power rush and it really gets on my tits.
If they want to search you they are going to, the laws surrounding it may well be a travesty but they are strong. So, legaly they can take you to the station and do a PROPER search if need be.
So, if they are going to search you anyway the best policy is to be nice about it. Ask them to fill in all the paper work needed and ask them why they are doing what they are doing.
If they are really harassing you or they do a search without filling in the form report them.
Sorry that part made me laugh, report them, and get no where. It is a waste of my time, time I can't be arsed wasting on Police.
I get pulled over in my car just about every week (because I'm in the middle of doing work on it). They can see by radio'ing in that it is registered in my name, insured in my name, they can see my tax disc and I carry my licensce around with me. Yet thet still insist on me going to station and producing my documents, this really pisses me off because it isn't just a quick drive down, hand them in then your away, I'm there for at least an hour, waiting to be dealt with, filling out forms etc. etc.. I'm sure there time can be spent on catching real criminals instead of hassling me every week.
And then a mate of mine gets stabbed 3-times and the police won't take the guy who stabbed him to court, probably didn't have time because they were too busy pulling the likes of me over every week.
And then my mate had an appointment at the station for a driving offence, I offered to drive him down there because it is a bit of a distance, his appointment was at 7.00, he didn't get seen till 9.30 and he got out of there at 10.00. They have a shit system and just piss people about. What would have happened if he had turned up at 10.00?, he would have got into loads of shit for it.
:mad: Not meaning to argue Bong but I have very strong views against the police.
What I was suggesting is that arguing with them is in the main a bad idea.
As for making an official complaint. I have found actually that a wisely worded letter to the right people does have effects. Its worth a try, you dont know its pointless untill you have given it a good shot.
Thats why I'm sending off letters left right and centre to sort out that almighty fuck up 'Talk to Frank'.
I don't mind being stopped or searched or whatever - it's those bloody car document producer's that piss me off. :mad: I had three in one month last year.
I presume not, I saw this happening about 2 years ago to a couple of kids in the park and I wrote to the police chief, he ignored me so I wrote to my MP. My MP then wrote to the police chief and in the end I got the police to admit that no stop and search was recorded on that date.
Police chief's take note of things like this, it makes them realise that the public wont stand for harrasment.
a freind of mine had 25kilos of paki black in his car ...he'd just collected it ...on credit from some very serious villains.
in the middle of levenshulme in broad daylight a car with four plain clothes pull in front suddenly and the same behind to box him in.
he is pulled from the car and hancuffed to the locking bracketin of the boot ...just above the bumper. while three of these guys are arresting him and explaining to him what is happening ...the dope is being put in the police cars. then they all drive off.
they wern't the old bill at all!
he had to sell his house and emigrate to keep breathing.
