    Hi @ellie2000,

    Yes, the police should be keeping what they record in police interviews in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GPDR)

    Hey @ellie2000
    They should keep records, of course.

    What do you mean by these questions? Have you had any bad experiences with police officers?

    @ellie2000
    police keep what they interview and will watch it and transcribe what has been said in the interview. I cna understand why you are feeling anxious about what the police officers will do and say about your interview, but they would never laugh at or be aroused by a person in the interview. They are professional and they have strict laws and guide lines that describe how they should treat people they interviews. Most police officers want to help people and do not like to see the people they help suffer. They wouldnt laugh or be aroused by anything.
    I hope that you are okay. Police interviews can be really scary. Have you had any bad experiences with police officers that have made you aks these questions?
    I hope that you are okay.

    I completely hear your fears and worries about having a police interview, Ellie, as having any negative experience with police, whether personally or second-hand, can leave us feeling extremely distressed and overwhelmed at the idea of being honest with them and being alone with them. As @SirArchibald says they are meant to be professionals who treat you with respect and autonomy, however I can understand why you would be anxious about whether this will be the case for you. Given the anxiety and distress this is causing you, I am wondering if there is any way we can make this process easier for you, for example, are you allowed to have another person in the room with you to support you? Having another person might make you feel safer about being around police officers in general. I also feel it's important to ask for their full names and badge numbers can help you to feel more reassured that you have their full info just in case. I do hope this will not be too difficult for you <3<3<3

    @ellie2000 the police have special interview techniques that aim to limit bias in their question and help the individual they are interveing give the most accurate answers. It is typical for them to use yes or no questions as these avoid asking leading question that might effect your answers. They arent allowed to coerce answers out of you. I really hope that you are okay and that whatever you are going through you have support.I hope that oyur experiences with the police have been okay.

    Having had many interviews with the police over the years, there is one thing I'd advise you to do above all else: "Don't talk to the police without a solicitor"
