Can the police regain respect?

From the land of haribos.

Continue here, it was interesting seeing the replies. I was listening to someone talking how the police was respected in the 60s and 70s, where he said how one didnt dare to do anything wrong and if you did and the police told you of for it.

He gave an example where he trimmed his motorcycle and the police cought him on the bike and said dont do that again, he said ok officer in a dampened respected voice and walked home with it and never did it again.

You respected what they said, even the signs with a police holding his hand in a stop position in the parks and other places dont go here, you respected that.

What is your view about it, can the police regain respect again? I think that they can, but there would be a lot of work to do in the mean time, also the police have a harder time nowadays with red tape and more paper work too, so cant do their job to the fullest too

Don't most law abiding people respect the police ?

Sure there’s some bad ones but that’s just a reflection of society, overall they have an impossible job to do these days , criminals are better resourced & defended, but they still choose to risk thier life’s trying to protect us

Alicante, Spain. (Sometimes in Wales)

One of the issues with the Police giving people a telling off, is that when they decide to actually apply the law in a different case, they may then be accused of discrimination.

Why give a warning one time and a sanction another?

The way the current police get around that is to issue guidelines for when to warn and when to prosecute. So in fact, even more rules to follow rather than a kindly old cop who knows that a warning will suffice.

And what already happens is that people complain that they are being treated unfairly because they didn't get a warning, but they know other people that did.

Sounds like a thankless job to me.

I think it will take a long time to improve things. The Met and other forces have had particularly toxic and prejudiced staff who will likely be resistant to change

This is an issue for sure. And it's a liability culture that extends across society not just policing.

It's actually made us a far less productive society, nobody wants to take responsibility for anything and our ingenuity is focused on that task rather than actually getting things done effectively and efficiently.

They are notorious for shit like that whenever they can get away with it, I acknowledge there are some decent ones and I have had pleasant interactions with a few but have also come across many utter bastard coppers and seen and experienced enough to never trust or like them ever again

"The cops are so undervalued and shit upon they should all say, fuck it, and resign. The lunatics have taken over the asylum. "

Perhaps if they concentrated on real crime and left normal people alone they would be appreciated more?

Just last a little utter wanker of a copper took my work van off me and slapped a prohibition order on it over a tyre that had worn on the inside so I didn’t see it as the other 90% of the tyre surface was fine, we were left stranded 20 miles from home and since I needed afresh mot to release the prohibition order and my local garage couldn’t mot it for 3 weeks I had no option but to purchase another van, that whole week by time paid the storage fee, having it recovered from the storage, wages for going fuck all and another van cost me about 7 grand. Just a single father going out to make a living to feed his family 7 grand out of pocket so some pathetic little prick who wouldn’t say boo to a mouse out of his u inform can assert his bit authority and they wonder why every fucker hates the cunts

This was the last of pretty extensive list of bad experiences/what I’ve witnessed with them

You need to check out tyres so no sympathy here whatsoever. You drive a clapped out vehicle and blame the plod when you re caught

As they should. Worn tyres are a danger to every road user and can cause accidents and even worse hurt people. They did their job. I can't see a problem?

The police took a dangerous vehicle off the road, aka your vehicle, they did a great job. No need to be a dick about it.

Nope, far too much has come out in the public eye

Whereas a police officer can take advantage of his/her duties and

prey on vulnerable people and once proven only given a reprimand. Like receiving a slap on the wrist

Policing supposed to have the highest level of standards regardless of judgement

Corruption will always remain as it's went on for decades

Trust will never be available which is a shame for the small majority of genuine

So any vehicle with a worn tyre is clapped out? If you buy a brand new car when the Tyres wear do you have to scrap it?

So what you are unhappy about is the fact having been caught by the authorities checking for vans being driven illegally you didn't like the result. You wanted a lesser option. Why should you have that? I suspect in that situation that was what they were instructed to do.

Most instances it’s just a fine and ordered to change it, I’ve known plenty people get that, I’d happily have accepted that, I bet if you were ever in the same situation and the police took the nuclear option rather than the normal one you’d be unhappy too

Seems that way mate, maybe they will go their whole lives never being unlucky to experience the negative side of police. I could list many thinks they have done to me or people I know including setting the police dog onto a mentally disabled man that was already handcuffed face own on the floor but that will all be justified somehow in their warped fairly tale land minds

See there's one of the problems right there. Sympathy for having a dangerous vehicle on the road. Why sympathy. What happens when that vehicle loses grip or can't stop in time and causes harm to others?who gets sympathy then? Why should we have to accept people who choose not to keep vehicles in a safe and legal condition and choose to drive them?

Just How likely is a tyre where 90% plus of tread is brand new on a vehicle with 6 wheels? The point wasn’t that I should have been let off just the nuclear option used when not letting the vehicle move till it was changed would achieve the exact same result. Nobody’s looking for sympathy it was just listing the latest of many reasons why I and many others despise them

If you read the description of what the defect was, one tyre worn on the inside not easily visible. I bet half the people on here one time or another have had this and not noticed until a mot check or visit to a garage.

The gov.uk says the following

When the police can seize your vehicle

The police can seize a vehicle if they think it’s being used in a way that causes alarm, harassment or distress, for example careless or inconsiderate driving.

They can also seize a vehicle if they think it’s:

being driven by someone who does not have a proper licence or insurance

dangerously, illegally or obstructively parked

broken-down or abandoned

If your vehicle is seized there’s a ‘release fee’ of up to £200 plus a storage fee of £20 for every day or part day.

Faults with your vehicle

If your vehicle has something wrong with it, for example a broken brake light, the police may give you a ‘vehicle defect rectification notice’.

You’ll need to get your vehicle fixed and provide proof that it’s been fixed, for example a receipt for the work from a mechanic. You have 14 days from the date of the notice to show the proof to the police.

The fault could have clearly been dealt with the latter. I am taking the posters story at face value, because it seems overkill for the offence.

And as the tyre goes i check my work pick up every monday morning lights tyres oil ect, 3 months a go did the usual checks all good 1 week of towing a digger on a trailer around 150 mile a day all good, follwing monday inside walls bald as a coot, turns out the extra weight on the rear changes the front supspension geometry which wore the insides off nearly down to the cords at only probs 6 months old so i do agree that tyres need to be safe but how many of you get under your cars weekly and check the pressures take the wheels off to check inside tyre walls for damage i very much doubt it

Every law in the UK is an Act of Parliament. Any law cited by police or a lawyer will cite the Act the law is under. They are the same thing.

So you think theft is a civil claims issue? You know nothing about the law.

"So you broke the law. The police acted within the law and now you don't like them. Go figure.

It’s not really breaking the law internationally is it, there was plenty other ways he could have dealt with it other than being so extreme and causing me so much financial outlay, as I said it was one of many bad experiences with them where I’d did fuck all wrong

Your wasting your time looking for sympathy here mate, for some on here a police person can do no wrong.

See there's one of the problems right there. Sympathy for having a dangerous vehicle on the road. Why sympathy. What happens when that vehicle loses grip or can't stop in time and causes harm to others?who gets sympathy then? Why should we have to accept people who choose not to keep vehicles in a safe and legal condition and choose to drive them?

If you read the description of what the defect was, one tyre worn on the inside not easily visible. I bet half the people on here one time or another have had this and not noticed until a mot check or visit to a garage.

The gov.uk says the following

When the police can seize your vehicle

The police can seize a vehicle if they think it’s being used in a way that causes alarm, harassment or distress, for example careless or inconsiderate driving.

They can also seize a vehicle if they think it’s:

being driven by someone who does not have a proper licence or insurance

dangerously, illegally or obstructively parked

broken-down or abandoned

If your vehicle is seized there’s a ‘release fee’ of up to £200 plus a storage fee of £20 for every day or part day.

Faults with your vehicle

If your vehicle has something wrong with it, for example a broken brake light, the police may give you a ‘vehicle defect rectification notice’.

You’ll need to get your vehicle fixed and provide proof that it’s been fixed, for example a receipt for the work from a mechanic. You have 14 days from the date of the notice to show the proof to the police.

The fault could have clearly been dealt with the latter. I am taking the posters story at face value, because it seems overkill for the offence.

"

Exactly mate the rest of the tyre was brand new as wasn’t very old ask anyone using a transit tipper daily how long they get out of the front tyres it’s lucky if it’s a year as they usually wear on the outside due to the body roll it was perfect outside so I mistakenly assumed it was ok as they never wear anywhere else they don’t get a chance too as the outsides wear so fast

As to why they uplift it I can only assume it was due to the prohibition order making it illegal to drive or even tow till freshly mot so I guess that why they took it

"And as the tyre goes i check my work pick up every monday morning lights tyres oil ect, 3 months a go did the usual checks all good 1 week of towing a digger on a trailer around 150 mile a day all good, follwing monday inside walls bald as a coot, turns out the extra weight on the rear changes the front supspension geometry which wore the insides off nearly down to the cords at only probs 6 months old so i do agree that tyres need to be safe but how many of you get under your cars weekly and check the pressures take the wheels off to check inside tyre walls for damage i very much doubt it "

Our laws are defined by Acts of Parliament. Acts are, quite literally, the law.

"The cops are so undervalued and shit upon they should all say, fuck it, and resign. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Perhaps if they concentrated on real crime and left normal people alone they would be appreciated more?

Just last a little utter wanker of a copper took my work van off me and slapped a prohibition order on it over a tyre that had worn on the inside so I didn’t see it as the other 90% of the tyre surface was fine, we were left stranded 20 miles from home and since I needed afresh mot to release the prohibition order and my local garage couldn’t mot it for 3 weeks I had no option but to purchase another van, that whole week by time paid the storage fee, having it recovered from the storage, wages for going fuck all and another van cost me about 7 grand. Just a single father going out to make a living to feed his family 7 grand out of pocket so some pathetic little prick who wouldn’t say boo to a mouse out of his u inform can assert his bit authority and they wonder why every fucker hates the cunts

This was the last of pretty extensive list of bad experiences/what I’ve witnessed with them

Why did the cop stop you ?

Passed a checkpoint where they were working with dvla doing random checks Seemingly targeting vans and lorries

You need to check out tyres so no sympathy here whatsoever. You drive a clapped out vehicle and blame the plod when you re caught

So any vehicle with a worn tyre is clapped out? If you buy a brand new car when the Tyres wear do you have to scrap it?"

No. You buy a new tyre

Correct they technically did not but the police office could have dealt with it in a less extreme way that would have caused the exact same outcome of the van being made safe without causing so much disruption to my finances and work schedule

You tend to hear it happening to those people who have a history of problems staying on the right side of the law.

You admit to having multiple interactions with the law which suggest either you are the most unlucky person in the world (and you probably have a very good case for police harassment) or you are not telling the whole story here. Personally I am going for the latter option.

I’ve agreed several times that they didn’t do anything wrong just that there was no need to make such an example id have no issue if every single person stopped for tyre got their vehicle seized and a prohibition order slapped on it but barely any do

And I’ve already stated several times it was simply the latest example of why I dislike them I used as it’s most recent but you twist it so my only issue with the police is this incident.

It may be hard to believe that they aren’t perfect maybe one day you will see for yourself maybe and hopefully not

Let's be honest here. It wasn't just because it was a part worn tyre. The MOT was also out on it. Even if you'd changed the tyre at the roadside he couldn't legally let you drive it away. So you can get the benefit of the doubt for not spotting the inner rim of the tyre but you absolutely knew the MOT was gone.

That proves the point doesn’t it? If you only had issues with your local police force then it would suggest you were being victimised. The fact that police who, by your own admission don’t know you, decided that your vehicle was in such a state that it needed to be impounded suggests that there is another issue.

I can easily imagine that you are not aware of what you are doing that is causing issues but I don’t believe in bad luck and certainly not repeated bad luck.

As much as you like to believe that no, my last interaction with the police was being arrested for mistaken identity in netto in front of my then partner and 18 month old daughter and the entire shop, I got as far as the police car in the car park before being released after my partner demanded to see the evidence that I had committed the alleged crime of stealing 2 bottles of cider and when the manger showed her he held his face in his hands when he realised he had identified the wrong person. The two female police offers asked if I wanted to take it higher i declined even though they refused to accept my side of the story as we stood with the manager and they hadn’t even seen the cctv

I was offered a 5 quid voucher by the manager told him to stick it. I’ve ran my business for 20 years small local business and the shame he and the police brought upon me that day was a disgrace

You admit to having multiple interactions with the law which suggest either you are the most unlucky person in the world (and you probably have a very good case for police harassment) or you are not telling the whole story here. Personally I am going for the latter option.

And you base that judgement on?? Even if your assumption was true I already stated was 20 mile from home in the area of a different police force so wouldn’t be “known” to the officers

That proves the point doesn’t it? If you only had issues with your local police force then it would suggest you were being victimised. The fact that police who, by your own admission don’t know you, decided that your vehicle was in such a state that it needed to be impounded suggests that there is another issue.

I can easily imagine that you are not aware of what you are doing that is causing issues but I don’t believe in bad luck and certainly not repeated bad luck.

As much as you like to believe that no, my last interaction with the police was being arrested for mistaken identity in netto in front of my then partner and 18 month old daughter and the entire shop, I got as far as the police car in the car park before being released after my partner demanded to see the evidence that I had committed the alleged crime of stealing 2 bottles of cider and when the manger showed her he held his face in his hands when he realised he had identified the wrong person. The two female police offers asked if I wanted to take it higher i declined even though they refused to accept my side of the story as we stood with the manager and they hadn’t even seen the cctv

I was offered a 5 quid voucher by the manager told him to stick it. I’ve ran my business for 20 years small local business and the shame he and the police brought upon me that day was a disgrace "

In that case if you have just suffered a litany of bad luck and abuse I would suggest you crowd fund a police harrasment lawsuit, take them to the cleaners for all the issues you have had over the years and get your 7 grand back plus more. Happy days eh?

The Police are human beings. Human beings are fallible and imperfect, quirky and irrational. Laws on paper may be defined, but even then they are written by quirky and imperfect beings.

So you have irrational beings imposing laws written by irrational beings, judged by irrational beings upon irrational beings.

Little wonder that humans are ungovernable in that context.

Sure, we might choose to cooperate in the name of cohesion, civic duty, or whatever you want to call it, but ultimately the individual chooses to align on their terms, and with their consent first of all. Many follow the law not through fear of consequence, but through acceptance of the merit of that law. Not all value that merit in the same way. Because they are individuals.

There is no great unwritten law that says we "have to cooperate". But a sizeable amount do because of harmony and order (as illusionary at those are).

.

In that context, I don't think the police have lost respect per se. I just think more people are aware that they elect irrational beings to judge them using laws written by irrational people and judged by irrational beings.

.

Against that backdrop, the default position is "Is this questionable?" and the answer is always yes. It has to be.

.

I think what the Police are experiencing is more people are questioning.

New footage emerging of the Manchester police attack. Of course the policeman will feel the full weight of the law and rightly so.

The context leading up is that one policeman was set upon with at least ten unanswered big punches and another policeman set upon in a similar fashion. Maybe it's understandable that th officer may have lost the plot so to speak.

"Continue here, it was interesting seeing the replies. I was listening to someone talking how the police was respected in the 60s and 70s, where he said how one didnt dare to do anything wrong and if you did and the police told you of for it.

He gave an example where he trimmed his motorcycle and the police cought him on the bike and said dont do that again, he said ok officer in a dampened respected voice and walked home with it and never did it again.

You respected what they said, even the signs with a police holding his hand in a stop position in the parks and other places dont go here, you respected that.

What is your view about it, can the police regain respect again? I think that they can, but there would be a lot of work to do in the mean time, also the police have a harder time nowadays with red tape and more paper work too, so cant do their job to the fullest too "

Why do you think they can out of interest?

While I have no sympathy at all for the men in getting violence in return for their violent behaviour. While also understanding the officer losing control in the circumstances and havinga degreeof sympathy.

My main issue is if you or me responded to an attack on us in the same way. We would end up in prison for using excessive force. If me as someone who has no training handling and in remaining in control of violent situations. Also not being paid by the staye to do so. If I would be charged and punished for this, then it's only right that someone who is trained and paid should be too.

They picked a fight with cops who basically wiped the floor with them. Now they want to get money from losing that fight? (The solicitor handling their case should do the right thing and say I'm not interested in handling the case anymore.)

And the police complaints should at the very least re-instate the suspended cop. Maybe with a (token) written warning to pacify certain people.

Will be interesting to see how this pans put.

Who knows but the copper did see two young males going beserk in an airport beating the shite out of three police offices, two of which were women resulting in one WPC getting a broken nose.

Its said Police are too soft over here accused of running away in Leeds etc.

But we need tougher police IMHO as there are no deterrents for the growing number of criminals and hooligans. Jails are full. Perhaps if the criminals were scared of the police, there'd be less crime committed.

The new video is 39 seconds long showing the start and end.

29 seconds the guy who was tapered and kicked in the head is on the back of the cop who eventually kicks him. He's then tasered then falls backwards while holding onto the cop.

The cop gets up. Then kicks him. He has an awful lot of adrenalin running round his body.

His exempelerary training ensured he never used his gun. He lost control for a split second and his perpetrator received a stamping.

The police officer imho, should receive a medal for keeping his temper, adrenalin to an absolute minimum.

Online there seems to be an air of racism about this. I’m not talking specifically about fab but it seems to be shared by lots of right wing accounts and flag shaggers. Let’s hope they keep this same energy next time a patriot like little Tommy is arrested for breaking the law.

"The new video is 39 seconds long showing the start and end.

29 seconds the guy who was tapered and kicked in the head is on the back of the cop who eventually kicks him. He's then tasered then falls backwards while holding onto the cop.

The cop gets up. Then kicks him. He has an awful lot of adrenalin running round his body.

His exempelerary training ensured he never used his gun. He lost control for a split second and his perpetrator received a stamping.

The police officer imho, should receive a medal for keeping his temper, adrenalin to an absolute minimum.

A jail sentence would be more appropriate. See how he gets on acting like a thug around real thugs."

He would be dealing with real thugs everyday. So you seem to like the idea of the police getting a kicking. Now we see you.

That’s probably the most hypocritical statement I’ve seen on here. You were all for criminals getting beatings a minute ago. If he is tried and convicted he would be a criminal so it’s fair game by your logic?

Another fine example of stellar police work from a few days ago

Nonce trying to entice kids into car with sweeties, chased and captured by two local men, police called say they will come tomorrow to speak to all involved, man who has nonce on headlock says better get out now before I hurt the cunt. Armed response show up and man and nonce arrested

Nonce enticing kids into car to do god knows what = non urgent crime

Man threatening to hurt nonce = very serious crime worthy of immediate armed response

"That is the only one you talked about. So you have had many run ins with the police?"

My friends car got nicked and I took him to police station, we actually found it on way. Secured it went to report it, the copper on the desk said if you've got it back what's the problem? And shut the window on us.

Another occasion when I was about 17/18 I got arrested with my friend while going for a can of petrol, the garage had been done over (had to use that terminology) and the thieves had a petrol can (we didn't fit description) but they arrested us, my deaf friend got punched for ignoring them, he was deaf and they stood behind him shouting at him, they didn't separate us so saw it happen. He did lose his job not because he'd done wrong per se, but because who my family are and old money cronyism. But that was an eye opener as to what people experienced with police, never really trusted them since.

Yep. Way to many experiences like that. Prisons are full so no point catching them anyway. Very long way back for policing and consequences in this country. Too far I fear.

Can 100% believe that mate, similar to most my experiences but according to some on here was likely your fault somehow as police can do no wrong. At the age of 18 I was arrested and punched and kicked while handcuffed before spending 24 hours locked up, my crime was arriving home with my girlfriend at the same time they were out looking for people involved in a separate incident. I was asked to step off my drive to talk and stupidly I did no sooner was I off they pounced on me. Another time they broke into my garage in Broad daylight while I was at work when they suspected I was ringing cars as I dared to own 3-4 of the same model and one of them had a new floor pan so the vin number was stamped elsewhere (was heavily into rs turbos and xr3i at the time) they didn’t even bother to shut it despite my main restoration project being in there and all my tools. Later I had to let officers inspect every vehicle and search my shed.

After seeing a bit more of the video, I think it is not that bad.

If that was a street fight, that would be accepted. But due to it being a police officer, it is not accepted.

No, your wrong. The member of public would have been charged with using excessive force. If this was ok for a member of public to do in self defence, I would have no issue with it.

I know 2 shopkeepers who were charged and fined for defending themselves from knife welding thugs. They used less violence than the policeman in the video.

They now have criminal records. One can't have a licenced business in his own name. The police investigating one of incidents were not sympathetic at all. They told the guy he should have shown more self control.

When the untrained public are allowed to defend themselves with this force. Maybe then I would be more understanding of a trained professional losing control in a similar situation.

I watched the full recording of the event I can understand how things got heated. The arrested were violent first, even vicious.

That does not mean the response from the Police Office kicking him was right. It is not the way he was trained to control a violent man. I would expect anyone one, police or members of the public kicking a man in that situation to be prosecuted. Should a Policeman be held to a higher standard? No.

Was it as bad as it looked? No, I have seen pictures of the man, but there is still a case for prosecution.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

The police do not decide who to charge in Scotland. The Procurator Fiscal (PF) does. So if you are going to blame anyone make sure you blame the right one.

There is no doubt the whole event is horrific and heat of the moment decisions were made. If I was in that situation I really don’t know how I would have reacted. Having recently witnessed an assault on a police officer I can understand that control was lost.
